Celebrating Big Shot projects in the Occasions Catalogue CTC#125

Hello and Welcome back to my CASEing the Catty blog hop!! 

 I've had a 'holiday' from blogging and creating with the school holidays and it's been a challenge to get back into it!!!  (both back into the swing of school for the children, work for me, and creating!!)

But, here I am!!

And this week we are celebrating and sharing and CASEing any Big Shot project from the Occasions Catalogue.

And I've been inspired by the Sent with Love Suite - it's soon to retire and so it's time to enjoy these gorgeous framelits and the coordinating stamp set!!

My project is a combination of the card and gift bag in the centre of the image.

I wanted to use this lovely heart edge, and I really like the cluster around the little envelope on the tag on the bag - can you see how I've combined the two?

I've used the lovely Blooms and Bliss DSP (also retiring) and so my colour scheme was inspired there - Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum - how gorgeous are these colours together!!!

This card was one of the cards we created at my last class and the star of the class was our wonderful DSP (and all are retiring at the end of May).  Stampin' Up! truly create BEAUTIFUL papers and I've never been disappointed yet!!  Even if one side doesn't immediately appeal to me, I always enjoy the other side too!!

I hope you are really loving our blog hop this week - so many wonderful projects!!

If you've been inspired (and why wouldn't you be????), please join in the fun and add your great creation inspired by the Big Shot projects in our Occasions Catalogue.  You can use this link to go to our great facebook challenge page!!
