CASE-ing the Catty Challenge #19 - New Buttons and Ribbon

Welcome back to CASE-ing the CattyToday the challenge is all about using New Buttons and Ribbon on your project. 
We are focussing our attention on the SALE-A-BRATION Catalogue and using the Best Ever Accessory Pack's ribbon and buttons from page 4.  If you haven't scored yourself a free pack yet, you can use other SU buttons and ribbons that are new to you.
CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything.  This whole challenge blog is about using the current Stampin' Up! Catalogues to help you create.  Sometimes crafters need a springboard to just get started and the catties are certainly a demonstrator or customer's best resource.

Exciting News!  We are on the look out for some Guest Designers so be sure to join in on the challenges to be considered for a spot.
 
So make sure you check out the SAB Catty today.  Have FUN!

CASE-ing the Catty Challenge #17 - Inspiration from the Occasions Catalogue
