Welcome to another week at CASEing the Catty Sunday Blog Hop, where utilise the projects within the current Stampin' Up! catalogue to inspire our own projects each week. We also invite you to join with us in the challenge each week by using this inspiration in your own creations and uploading a photo to our Facebook page.

This week we are taking inspiration from our favourite stamp set in the soon to be discontinued Annual Catalogue. As always its a bitter sweet time coming to the end of a catalogue, and more so this time as this will be our last annual catalogue, as Stampin' Up! transitions to a single catalogue three times a year.
I was inspired by this project from page 53, created with the Gallery Blooms Suite, one which caught my eye the very first time I looked at this catalogue. I just love this floral spray and I think it and the other floral stamp from this are my most used stamps over the last year so it was an easy choice for this challenge.
I wanted to keep to the original sketch, but made it using a more traditional card base, layered with the leafy paper from Moonlit Flora DSP pack from the new catalogue. The frame was cut from Natural Hues Textured DSP which adds some lovely texture without any additional embossing. The sentiment is another from Greetings For All Ephemera Pack which I am so happy is carrying over into the new catalogue, this is such a go-to set of sentiments and would have to be my second favourite product this past year.
I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use any of the projects in the Annual Catalogue that feature your favourite (or any) stamps to inspire your creativity, then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.
Time to hop on over and see what the very talented Andrea has created this week.
Happy Stamping
