Hi Everyone! I'm so excited to be participating in today's TCP Tuesday because it's a special birthday blog hop! (More on that in a second.) Amy is the Hostess with the Mostess today and her challenge is to get WOODY. Be sure to start at her blog since she's the beginning of the hop and she has all the of the TCP Tuesday details! For my card, I used the super cute A Beary Good Year clear set, cardstock from SU! and Woodgrain paper from A Muse. The "banner" on the card is actually a party hat that is included in the clear set, I just masked off the little pom-pom on the top of the stamp, flipped it upside down and stamped it in a curve. Easy-peasy!
So, I mentioned this was a special birthday hop and it's for none other than the uber talented, super generous and extremely creative Alma!! If you don't know Alma (how could that be?!) she's the owner/creator of The Cat's Pajamas stamps. She's also the first person that took a chance on me and asked me to join her design team. I am forever grateful to her for being so kind and generous to me! Love you, Alma! Happy birthday!
Okay, you probably arrived here from Jen or you might have just popped in, but next on the hop is Carole and I can pretty much guarantee she's got something amazing to share, so be sure to head there next! :) And make sure you visit Alma on her blog and give her some birthday love!
Awww! Thank you for your birthday wishes, Katie. It means a lot that you played along in this sneaky, sneaky birthday hop with this wonderful and cute card. Love the birthday hat idea. It's a keeper.
