Big News Baby CTC#37

This week the CASE-ing The Catty Crew are CASE-ing the section of the catalogue titled For Baby, pages 31-38. You may be starting here with me, or perhaps you have come from Bronwyn at AddINKtive Designs .
If you've started here, you can continue to blog hop your way right around for plenty of CASE-ing The Catty inspiration by clicking on the link at the end of my blog. If you happen to get lost along the way, you can get back on track at Case-ing The Catty.


On page 37 are six small cards, and the middle top one inspired my card. I haven't bought the featured stamp set yet, but do have Baby's First Framelits, so put the onesie die through the Big Shot, decorated it with a star from Something To Say and pulled my paper piercing tools out.
I used the Squares Collection Framelits and paper pierced them too. Because I made a regular sized card, I had a large white space which suited this huge sentiment from Big News.




I'm really happy with the way this turned out, and just think of the different ways you can use this sketch, perhaps with flowers or a feature stamp.  May I add, the thicker Whisper White card is wonderful for cards, just what we've been wanting for so long. You really must try it soon, if you haven't already.
Next you're hopping along to Alison's blog, enjoy!

Pretty Pink Pram CTD 295

At the end of the post is a lovely inspiration picture. When I look at the quilt in this picture, I think of soft, sweet, snuggly baby girls. I have one of those in my life now, and as her dad (my son) says, "that little girl rules the house". Never mind that she has two fine, big brothers, I completely understand why she is boss. By the way, she is only 15 months old!!!
Color Throwdown provided this combination of pinks this week,its been fun playing along with this challenge.

I was thrilled to receive my pre-order today (we are a month behind the US) and in it was the new stamp set Something For Baby. What's extra-nice about this set, it comes with matching framelits, Baby's First Framelits dies. I haven't really properly unpacked the order yet, so many other things to get done on a Friday, so tonight I finally sat down to have a little play, and this is what I came up with.

Congratulations is from the retiring Cuddles & Kisses stamp set, It's a Girl is from A Dozen Thoughts. They go very nicely together, don't you think? Melon Mambo is the only current colour out of the three, so luckily I haven't sold the retired markers yet, and I was able to colour the wheels in Bravo Burgundy. I still have a little bit of Pretty In Pink card left too, so I was able to use that for the card base and a layer.

Now what else will I play with from my order...?
