Fancy Floral with Bloom and Grow | Fancy Friday Blog Hop


Well, well, well.
At 23 weeks pregnant I am finally feeling well enough to get crafting.
I am so excited to be back with the rest of the Fancy Friday team.
Seriously though.
You can't get any better talent then this team when it comes to Stampin' Up! as each and everyone of these ladies are either a current or past Artisan Design Team Member.
I don't always love florals but I am totally in love with the Bloom and Grow stamp set. Not only that but I am inspired completely by a card in the catalogue which shows a similar design. I am a big believer in not re-inventing the wheel! Start with inspiration and make it your own!

This is where my inspiration ame from in the catalogue..



And out popped this when I was all done!!


I also cased the catalogue yesterday from page 156 in the catalogue - I created this card using the same stamp set. See.... I told you I was obssessed!

.... From the catalogue...


And my take....


Keep hopping along to check out everyone's gorgeous creations! Next up is the fabulous Mercedes Weber!

Casing the Catalogue with Bloom and Grow | Be Inspired Blog Hop

Welcome Back to this month's Be Inspired Blog Hop. I am always so impressed by the talent of this group.

This month we are casing the Stampin' Up! catalogue. What does this mean? Simply put it means trying to re-create a project from the catalogue. Often this leads to inspiration and starts to get our creativity juices flowing.

For today's project I've decided to re-create a project found in the catalogue on page 156. I've used the floral image from the Bloom and Grow stamp to re-create this sweet card on the scalloped card bases.

Here's my take:


Don't you just love this design? I sure do and can't wait to use up the rest of my scalloped cards to create them!

Thanks for dropping by to check out my project today! But don't stop here, be sure to continue hopping! Up next, we have the incrediby talented Manuela Geiswinkler.

See you soon!

Merry Merlot | #tgif228



It's a colour challenge at TGIF Challenge Blog!

Gotta say this was hard for me! I am certainly not a vanilla girl. I am all whisper white. So just that fact made it particularly difficult.

But limitations definitely makes things easier. I only have so much product in those colous besides stamps and colouring tools.


And I know what you are thinking.... I am already started with Christmas and the Holiday Season... 
... you better believe it baby!!
'Tis the Season!

Love, Cathy
