CASEING THE CATTY #193 | GRACEFUL GLASS

 Welcome to this week's CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. Our inspiration this week comes from the Graceful Glass Suite on pages 164-179 of the Annual Catalogue.  You may have arrived here from seeing Judy's gorgeous project if you're hopping along already.

The gorgeous spotted paper is So Saffron from the Subtles 6" x 6" DSP.     The Polka Do
