Catalogue 'Caseing'

Hello and Happy Friday.
The weekend is nearly here, you little beauty lol!
At the moment I've lost my mo-jo(love that word lol)and I was still in the mood to do some card making as it's a very dull day here in Adelaide.
So I grabbed my old Stampin' Up! catty from last year(2007-2008)and had a look through and came across a card using the Peaceful Wishes Stamp Set on page 23, so here is my take on the card


All products by Stampin' Up!
~Peaceful Wishes Stamp Set
~Brocade Blue, Bravo Burgundy and Whisper White Card Stock
~Barocade Blue and Bravo Burgundy Markers
~ Hodgepodge Hardware, Dazzling Diamonds and Bravo Burgundy Grosgrain Ribbon

and while I was on a roll, I grabbed this years catty and 'cased' the Peaceful Wishes card from page 31 and changed it a bit to use products I had on hand and this is what I came up with

All products by Stampin' Up!
~Peaceful Wishes Stamp Set
~Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Whisper White Card Stock
~Old Olive and Chocolate Chip Ink

Very easy cards to make. I have to remember to use my catty more often for inspiration, a great tool sitting on my desk right under my nose lol!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend. Take Care, Hugs and smiles,

Trial Run

Happy Easter! Hope you all had a wonderful day and that Easter Bunny left you lots of yummy eggs! I found a tutorial on splitcoaststampers for a tote bag a few mths ago and I gave it a go and only just found the photos lol! It was super easy and I used scrap scrapbook paper by Making Memories for my first go and some Kaisercraft white cards. I made it into a set which is the tote bag(which holds 6 cards and envelopes), matching cards, paperclip book mark(I found these 75mm paperclips from my local newsagency for $1.72 for 25. They are a little shorter than the ones from America, but I was happy with my 'find' lol) and used some cuttlebug dies in my BIGkick and a binder(bulldog) clip. I was over the moon with how the tote bag turned out! So this was my trial run lol! I've also altered the most sweetest little mailbox, which I'll post soon. Our new Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue comes out on the 1st of April. I have not yet received my box of catty's but some other lucky demo's have received them and I'm sooooo envious lol! All I want to know is... "Is the scallop punch in our new catty" lol?! I've got my fingers cross that they'll come after Easter! Till next time, enjoy your yummy Chocolate Easter eggs, Take Care and keep Smiling, (((hugs))) Kylie XX
