I finally did it! I got rid of my blackberry after months of issues with it either freezing or just shutting down after taking one picture. I am now a proud owner of an Iphone and I’m loving it!

One of the many reasons why I was so excited to make the switch was for all the cute cases and accessories you can get for the Iphone. Even before it arrived I start the search for the cutest case. I came across this adorable Kate Spade and stared thinking maybe I could make my own.

First I sketch something simple to test the case. I order the case from zazzle.com because I prefer thinner cases such as the Mate Barely There™ case that they offer.

Here it is! I love it! The only thing is that I wish the edges were pink instead of white. I thinking of making another one but this time I want the sketch to cover the full back of the case.

So what do you think?
