New Catty & a new Challenge blog!

So its such an exciting time of year for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.... Its New Catelogue time! 

 As a SU! demonsrator I have had the catty for a while and love the whole thing!!! 

 There is a new challenge blog starting this month called CASE-ing the Catty! 

WHAT A FANTASTIC CHALLENGE! 

We all have a catty on the shelf... and sometimes don't always look at the inspiration on each page! 

So this challenge gets crafters to look deeper! 

All you have to do is CASE the card completely, or take something from the project and re-create/ r-design it! The first challenge is from the gift & packaging section of the catty! Here is where my inspiration came from...

And now for my card- I love this colour and everything about the acrd!

MY FAV COLOUR!!!

During convention this year, my first convention, I won a prize patrol ad was so excited!!! I won a the beautifully baroque stamp, Embossing folder and Eastern Elegance DSP! I was so excited!!!

Today I was looking through Pinterest for some INSPIRATION and came across this beautiful card by Teneale Williams!(Click the picture to see her fantastic blog)

So I did my best to replicate it:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Crisp Cantaloupe! Its my second fav colour- second to Crumb Cake!

When I saw this weeks Dynamic Duo colour challenge I knew what I was going to do- Use Crumb Cake and Black to replicate this design AGAIN!

So here is my card! I LOVE it!!!
