Our Top CASE for CTC 15

It's time to reveal our Top CASE for this week!  A huge thank you to the four lovely ladies that submitted their projects using new stamps and inspiration from the Sale-a-bration Catalogue.


A big congratulations to -
 
 Courtenay Heuston
from
 
... for submitting a gorgeous set of cards using the Lotus Blossom Stamp Set.  If these aren't enough to inspire me to ink up my set, then nothing will.  I think Courtenay's cards are better than the original ones featured in the SAB Catty!  Ssshhhh ...  I think half the DT want to CASE this CASE!
 
 
Thank you for joining us at CTC.

You've won this brand new badge for your blog -

 
Make sure you come back at 7pm tonight to check out our next challenge.

Countdown to CTC Challenges and Meet a New Design Team Member

Hi there.  Welcome to CASE-ing the Catty Challenges.  The next challenge is now only a week away and we are getting excited about sharing projects from the SALE-A-BRATION and Occasions Catalogues. 

We are also pleased to welcome a new member to our Design Team, Helen, who will be starting next week.  Her creativity never ceases to amaze and she was a regular entrant in our challenges last year.  Be sure to check out her blog, H2 Designs.


Hi, I’m Helen (aka H or H2) & I live with my family in Victoria, Australia.  Creative pursuits of some sort have always been a part of my life.  My first endeavours with card making were way back when I was single & since then I have tried various crafts.  I discovered SU at a craft expo a few years ago & my passion for card making was re-ignited!  I enjoy the process of creating something from concept to reality & love experimenting with techniques & materials, pushing my supplies to be more versatile.  This fun hobby brings many rewards, but the best is the wonderful friendships made!
I am honoured & excited to be working with the fabulous CTC Team & look forward to CASE-ing the Catty with you.  :)
