CASEing the Catty - #CTC355 Sale-A-Bration Heart & Home Designer Series Paper

This week I have been busy scrapbooking my 50th birthday celebrations and I wanted to coordinate it with this week's CASEing the Catty challenge with features the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

Welcome if you are starting the hop here, or you may have come from Sandra Collett.

I have chosen the card featured on page 8, which uses the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle which I kindly borrowed from my talented team member, Andrea Sargent.

I am using the 6" x 8" Album with the Photo Pocket Pages, the Blessings of Home Bundle, Heart & Home Designer Series Papers and the Memories & More Card Pack.

I have selected a photograph and then chose the 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper which I cut out using the largest rainbow dies and layered the them onto Basic White cardstock which I had ran through the Hive 3D Embossing Folder.  

To finish it off I added some  Highland Heather under the photo and strip of Fresh Freesia cardstock with the "you make me happy" sentiment and a cloud which I included the names of the guests and a little twine bow.

Wow I am loving the pockets as they make it oh so quick!  

I then completed the other pockets with handwritten cards from the guests featured with matching photographs.  

As I finished this in no time, I went on to create another double page which features CASEing the Catty Crew member, Rachel Palmieri who made the road trip from Melbourne with her husband to celebrate with me and enjoy a lovely refreshing holiday.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC 352 Mini Catalogue Blessing of Home Bundle

 

Welcome to this week at CASEing the Catty.  We are featuring the January to June Mini Catalogue so there is lots to choose from, so I am hopeful that we have many entries.

You may have come from Judy May or you maybe starting here.

I am featuring the Blessing of Home Bundle this week and as I am celebrating a special 'O' birthday next weekend I decided I would make a scrapbooking page which coordinates with the invitations I made, using the colour combination of Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Basic White.

On page 60 of the Mini Catalogue, there is a beautiful scrapbooking page which used the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper and I used this for my invitation so it was just swapping out some colours and wow it turned out really well.

Scrapbooking doesn't come naturally for me so it's a great start to the Memories and More album that I am planning to put together with some quotes from my family and friends and lots of happy photo's.

To colour in the largest flower I used my wink of stella to picked up some Fresh Freesia ink from the inside of the ink pad lid and then just coloured in with dark in the centre to light to the edge of the petals, very easy and you also get a sparkling effect.

Stamp Set:  Blessings of Home

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia, Basic White

Ink:  Fresh Freesia

Accessories:  Cut n Emboss Machine, Flowers of Home Dies, Highland Heather 1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon, Clear Glitter Wink of Stella, Variety Pack 6" x 8" Photo Pocket Pages, Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Back Dots (retired), Wonderful Snowflakes (retired)
