#CTC189 - Love, Thanks and Support

Back from a little break away and CASEing pages 104-125 - Love, Thanks and Support

You know I love winged 'things', so it wasn't too hard for me to zoom to the bottom right picture on page 125:

How cute is that little bee in the Bee Thankful stamp? Have you thought about pairing him up with some of the amazing DSP's on special this month?  Initially, I used my possible favourite 12" x 12" - Petal Promenade - seriously an inch top and bottom was the max required, a strip of Old Olive cardstock to co-ordinate with the Stampin' Blends used. I then chose Calypso Coral for the word and Daffodil Delight for Mr Bee... all based on a Thick Whisper White card base.

I created another with the same colour Stampin' Blends as above except I switched out Calypso Coral for Night of Navy.  I punched the edge from Night of Navy cardstock with the Decorative Ribbon Border punch.  

And my final card was using the Share What You Love Specialty DSP, again an inch top and bottom of DSP - so it goes a looong way! Pool Party for the letter colouring...

Back to the blog hop and let's check out what Rebecca has created with some of the same DSP I am loving ... feel free to play along, link up over on the right

CASEing the Catty - #CTC140 For Babies & Kids

Hi everyone! Welcome if you've called in from Judy May.  Today we're casing the section For Babies & Kids pgs 102-111.

I have used the card on pg 108 for my inspiration.

I finally caved and now have "This Little Piggy" set... They just kept calling everytime I flicked past them, but you know the feeling - right? I chose Rich Razzleberry for the base, and Berry Bliss for the pig colour.  My top circle is watercolour paper, and the bottom layer is vellum cardstock.  I don't have the sweet little die used in the background so made use of the Decorative Ribbon Border punch to recreate the background strips. Silver 1/8" ribbon replaces the sequins. I used the Fine Tip glue pen to make the snout pop a little. The greeting is from Best Birds and the finishing touch a little Rich Razzleberry enamel heart.

I know it is supposed to be all about the card, but as Peta did last week - I had a little assistance with my photography this week. His name is Rove and he usually ignores me unless feeding time, but as the girl wasn't home, and he was bored, he played my silly game. No. 1 cat is not so co-operative, but maybe one day you'll get to see him.
