My project is my Easter project I made for the design team I am a part of. Every week we visit different sections of the Stampin' Up! catalog and we CASE the catty. You ask what is CASE is well it is Copy and Steal Everything. So draw inspiration the projects in the catalog. Steal everything or parts of the project that you like.
The challenge this week at Casing the Catty CASE a project from the EASTER section of the Occasions catalog.
I decided to CASE from the gift bag on page 34 of the Occasions Mini. Check out the project I cased in the lower right hand corner. How cute is the polka dot bag. I decided to make my own decorated gift bag by using the Work of Art stamp set.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! I'm getting some great inspiration from the blogs and thank you for participating in the hop!
ReplyDeleteMy best crafting time is whenever the mood strikes me. It might be 1st thing in the morning or midnight.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky to have met crafty friends through the Fiskateers. We get together once a month at a local crop and they are the most awesome group of gals in my life.
ReplyDeleteI love your bag! My best time with friends was a couple of years ago when we went for a whole weekend to a resort to scrap. It was a group of us from CT who went to ME. One night we even had lobsters...yum! Anyways, we scrapped from 9 in the am to 11 pm (breaks when wanted with hour close down for lunch and dinner). We played games to win prizes, worked on whatever we wanted and just had a great time.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute gift bag! I've CASED a few cards before and it's so much fun. I'd love to try to make a gift bag! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletebest crafting time is whenever a groublog hopp of us is together. Each month we get together at my SU! demonstrator's (aka my dealer) and not only create, but laugh until we cry. thanks for being part of the

ReplyDeleteOh gosh, these are such cute Easter bags. I miss seeing you at Fiskateers, I know I need to get to your blog more often but I usually just do facebook.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if my comment went through so here it goes. I love your cards and miss seeing you at Fiskateers. I usually just do facebook so I don't go to the blogs as much. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your project! Best time? In 2009, 10 of us from across the country got together from a SB board for 3 days. It actually lead to be being Fiskateer #6189! lol And I am looking forward to one this year with Flying Unicorn!

I've never really been able to craft with friends. I normally create down in my dungeon by myself. It's been a struggle lately with so many changes in our lives (just kid/school stuff)
ReplyDeleteOne of the best crafty times I have had with a friend was when Jeannie came up from WV and we went downtown to see Tim and Mario !!! And then one weekend we went to WV to visit her -- she took me out to Maxine's shop and I got to explore The Scrapbook page shop and hug Maxine ! Had just missed Donna Woods.

Sweet, sweet gift bags. I'm a sucker for polka dots. :) TFS! The bestest time I had with my crafty friends was meeting up with a few Fiskateers when Emma came to my state for a demo. The other time was a crop with Fiskateers from all over the state. Good ol' days. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute treat bag! I love it. Very cool giveaway too. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolutely darling project and perfect for next week! Darling! TFS!
ReplyDeleteSo many crafty people I just can't keep up with it all.
ReplyDeleteCute tags on your bags. TFS
ReplyDeleteThis was the perfect place for me to visit today. I have a thing for bags lately and your's are adorable. I've bookmarked the Case page-definitely something I want to learn more about.
ReplyDeleteI'm a late night crafter-and cleaner. Have to wait for the fur babies to call it a night before I can get anything done.
Love your Easter sack! So cute! My favorite crafting time was with my friend who now lives very far away. We would meet a couple times a month and make cards all day long and into the evening. I really miss her!
ReplyDeleteAdorable project! I love yours more that the original :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteMy best crafting time with friends probably was when I trained crafters to use Fiskars tools. Long time ago :)
The best time crafting with friends was at last year's Convention. I had such a super fun time!
ReplyDeleteAwesome project Stasia!
Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Sweet, Thanks I think I can use this great idea for some Easter treats.....Thanks for this amazing opportunity to earn prizes too!
ReplyDeleteI cherish the time I get to spend crafting with friends. Once a month we get together to craft, laugh, and often times cry. The time spent together is refreshing & re energizing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Easter bag. I loved crafting with my friends when I was in my college. Now they are all in different places and I miss them a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun hop.
CUTE project and inspiration Stasia :)
ReplyDeleteI confess that I didn't really know what "CASE" meant and think it is a COOL way to be inspired!!! THANK YOU for sharing your CREATIVE INSPIRATION and about the challenge, hoping to join you there one day.
PS - I already follow your blog via Google Friend Connect & Bloglovin' :)
YIKES - I clicked publish instead of preview!!!
ReplyDeleteThe best crafting time I've had with friends was online, doing a class with Rebecca & other Fiskateers, making a mini album :)
I had to get up at 3.30 in the morning to be ready for the class to start at 4am local time!!!
OH, I have to share another one - my parents were staying with us when we had a Fiskateers online crop, we all wore our homemade tiaras / crowns, took photos of us wearing them in our pyjamas and I scrapped them that day with input from everyone :)
Crafting times & family times really are THE BEST OF TIMES!!!

ReplyDeleteKelly Sas....have been blessed to meet many Fiskateers. The best time was when we all met in Madison at Fiskars Headquarters for the roll out of the Fuse. We were treated like Rock Stars! I love your bag and your case ideas will be used as I love getting ideas from all types of sources. Happy FiskaFriends Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteSo creative!! Love your CASEing!! I love scrapping with friends but sitting in my crafty corner in my basement with no interruptions can be heavenly! New follower!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! What a fun idea to CASE a catalog. I've never tried that, but it's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI loved a retreat I went to.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable and I love your tag! CASE of catalogs is something I would never have thought of but it sure does sound like fun. My best crafting time is usually late afternoon and/or into the night. I papercraft best on my own because I tend to overdo the socializing when I'm with others : )
ReplyDeleteVery clever!
ReplyDeleteDarling bag. Nice to see you in the hop.
ReplyDeleteCute bag! Nice to see you at the hop.
