TCP Tuesday - Birthday Blog Hop!

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!

Flowery sketch

Hi everyone! So this is my second post this week, can ya believe it? :) 

Jen Del Muro posts an awesome sketch every Saturday and I actually got to play along this week!  The paper and flowers are from a kit from SU! and the sentiment is from the new A Beary Good Year clear set from The Cat's Pajamas.  Hope ya like it!  Be sure to check out Jen's blog for the sketch.  Have a great day!

A "Beary" Good TCP Tuesday and a Blog Hop!

I'm so excited to play along with this week's TCP Tuesday and to make it even better, I get to be a part of a super fun blog-hop introducing the new clear set A Beary Good Year!  Since this is a hop, you probably came from Toni's blog and after you check out the goodies here, be sure to head on over to visit Susan.  

Amy is the hostess (and the start of the hop) and she has chosen paper-piecing for this week's challenge. (Be sure to check out her blog for all of the TCP Tuesday details!) I LOOOOVE to paper-piece (it's my fave technique) so I was very happy to play along!  And the new Bear is so perfect for it!  Here's my first card (seriously, this new set is TO DIE FOR, you're gonna love it!)

See?? Isn't he so cute?! I decided to leave him white this time and just have his fun paper-pieced tummy be the focus along with the cute birthday accessories.

My second card is a little more simple and features the Bear with some Valentine hearts.  What do you think? Adorable, right? :)

P.S. Yes, I know the second card doesn't have paper-piecing on it but I wanted to show it anyway. :)

Aaahh, I love him! And speaking of the bear...be sure to check out Alma's blog because she's announcing the winner of the Name That Bear contest! That person will receive all the new TCP stamps for one whole year! Yippee! 

Christmas Card Countdown - #17

Baby, it's cold outside! And I've got a bright and cheery card for you! (I actually made this one months ago so hopefully I haven't posted it before!)  I went with my three favorite colors which is a very non-traditional color scheme (pink, orange and brown) for Christmas/winter but I love how it turned out!  The paper and edge punch are SU!, the sentiment and flourish are TCP, ribbon is A Muse, the snowflake punch is Marvy.  

Thanks for popping by! Have a wonderful day!

Christmas Card Countdown - #16...sort of

Okay, since I didn't get a chance to photograph my card for today, I'm posting one of my favorites from last year instead.  I figure a lot of you are new to my blog so you probably didn't see this one last year so it's okay. :)  

The paper is from a DCWV paper pack the images are from The Cat's Pajamas.  The sentiment is from a clear set but I'm not sure who it's by.  Hope you like it!  

There's no such thing as too many cupcakes...

Karrie is the hostess for this week's TCP Tueday stamp challenge and when I saw what it was - to use any TCP cupcake image - I knew I had to play along! And since I still had out the Sweet Always paper, I thought why not use it again! (I hope you're not all sick of seeing it!) I pulled out my You Say it's Your Birthday clear set and stamped the cupcake from it several times, masking them as I went. I used Copics to color them and added Twinkle Stickers for some bling!   I got the layout from just pulling out some scraps of paper and moving them around until I got something I liked.  That's a good tip - save and use your scraps! Ya never know when you'll need a little something to finish off a card and a scrap might be just the thing.  The sentiment is from the Smells Like Cake clear set and it's stamped on another piece of scrap paper that I punched out using a Marvy circle punch.

Okay, off to clean! Have a good one, Peeps!

TCP Tuesday on Saturday

Phew! I'm getting this in just under the wire!  I haven't had a chance to play along with TCP Tuesday since I stepped down from The Cat Pack but when I saw this color combo on Jen's blog, I just had to participate! 

I'm getting ready to leave for my card class so I don't have time to write about the card but I will edit this later to include all the details. ETA: Added the deets!

TCP Tuesday - Sketch Challenge

You all know what today is - TCP Tuesday!  Leigh is your Hostess with the Mostess today and her sketch challenge is super fun!  I'm hoping to get to play along with it later today.  It seems like for the last 3 months or so that I've just been behind on everything and I can't catch up...hopefully things will slow down a bit for me after the new year. 

Be sure to check out Leigh's blog for all the details and have a great day!

Hugs!

Pink and orange goodness

Oh wow, I am in LOVE with this paper! I've never really been into SU! but the last few months I've been getting a few things here and there (mostly cardstock and punches.)  Anyway, I've been wanting this paper, Sweet Always, forever and I finally ordered it and I'm soooo glad I did. Hello! It's my three favorite colors (pink, orange and chocolate brown) plus my favorite shapes (flower, polka-dots, stripes) all in one pack of paper!! Be still my heart! (How did I survive this long without it??!)  Seriously, I had to keep stopping and fanning myself when I was working with it because I was so excited, lol! :) Thank you SU!, for reading my mind and creating the perfect paper pack. 

Anyway, enough gushing about the delish paper, on to the card! This is for Toni's TCP Tuesday stamp challenge  - to use any TCP cake image.  The image is colored with a mixture of CTMH, Tombow and Copic Markers (I just couldn't seem to get the right shade of orange but this will have to do.)  I also used my new Signo white gel pen (FINALLY one that actually stays completely white!)  Ribbon is A Muse. 

Thanks for looking! Hope you're all having a great day!

  

 

TCP Tuesday!

Toni is the Hostess with the Mostess today and her stamp challenge is to use any TCP stamp that has a cake in it.  Isn't that such a fun idea?  She's so clever! I haven't had a chance to work on my card yet so in the meantime, head on over to her blog for all the TCP Tuesday deets. 

TCP Goodness...

I just realized I never posted the rest of my samples from the latest TCP release so I thought I'd add them now. 

What are you plans today?  We're off to go Christmas shopping - yay!  And I had Weight Watchers this morning and I'm officially down 30. 6 pounds - isn't that amazing??  I still can't believe I've lost this much weight - I'm down 3 pants sizes!  Now I seriously need clothes! :)

Enough rambling here's what you came to see-

Inside of the notepad cover- (in hindsight, I wish I would have gotten white notepads instead of yellow)

 

 

TCP Tuesday - Color Challenge!

The Cat's Pajamas Yummy Goodness!!

Yippee for new stamps!!  Alma has done it again and has made some of the cutest Christmas stamps ever!  I love her stuff - TCP rocks!! Anyway, onto the cards - that's what you're here for anyway, right? ;) 

I was majorly stuck on embossing and scoring for this round of cards, I think I used at least one of those techniques on every card I made!  For my first card, I broke out my Scor-pal and scored some lines in the brown paper and then distressed it with sandpaper.  The cardstock has a white core so sanding it made the white show through.  The images are from the new set called Elegant Christmas and they're so pretty! I especially adore the font that Alma used on the sentiments!  The reindeer is stamped with brown ink and then embossed with clear.  I also used one of the swirly stamps that is included in the set and embossed it with clear on the cream background (it's hard to see in the photo.)

   

The second card also uses this same set, Elegant Christmas, but I wanted to showcase the stamps in a different way so I went very simple but used a bright color - turquoise.  And I also did some scoring and embossing on this one.  (This card falls under the "much cuter in real life" category, btw. ) To get the polka dots only part way on the card, I simply layed my paper only partially into the Swiss dots embossing folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug. 

Hope you've enjoyed these two peeks at the new TCP stamps! If you're dying to see more, then check out the links over there on the left under "The Cat Pack"...something tells me they'll probably have a few things to show you!  And remember to check out The Cat's Pajamas website on Friday, November 7th to get your hands on all the new goodies!  See ya tomorrow with some more sneaks!

 

TCP Tuesday!

It's TCP Tuesday again!  (How can it be Tuesday already?! Where does the time go???)  Jen is the Hostess with the Mostess today and she has a HIARIOUS inspiration challenge for us!  Check out her blog for all the details.  I haven't had a chance to play along but I'm hoping to later on tonight. 

TCP Tuesday!

It's TCP Tuesday again!  This week's Hostess with the Mostess is Leigh and as always, she's got a FANTASTIC sketch for us!  Be sure to check out her blog for all the details on TCP Tuesday!

Here's her sketch -

 

The cool thing about this one is the size - it's actually 4.5" x 7" - and I've never made a card this size before! Fun, fun!  For mine sample, I used my Fairy Christmas set and colored it with Copic markers and added lots of glitter! (I love glitter!)  The paper is American Crafts and is TDF!  I'm a little annoyed at the way I did the sentiment, though.  I got some 'detail' embossing powder (which is supposed to work on small images, like fonts) but it didn't work very well at all so it's hard to read the sentiment.  Bummer.  Hope you like the card anyway!

TCP Tuesday

Happy TCP Tuesday, everyone!  Jen is the Hostess with the Mostess today and she's given us a very cool inspiration challenge.  Be sure to check out her blog for all the details!

I didn't get a chance to make a card this week, unfortunately.  I've just been beyond swamped with everything so my "free" stamping time has not been happening lately.  I do have some cards that I made last week that I will be sharing later so all is not lost! :)

Hope you're all having a great day!

Hugs!

Happy World Card Making Day!

Today is World Card Making Day!  Will you be doing anything to celebrate?  Unfortunately, I probably won't be as I have a very full day planned but I couldn't let this day go by without showing you card, at least! :) 

Here's another Fairy card using the latest released stamps from The Cat's Pajamas.   I love these stamps! And this paper is My. Favorite. Paper. Ever.  I LOVE IT!!!  So glad Alma picked such delicious paper for the DT to use :)

TCP Tuesday~

Ana is the Hostess with the Mostess today (she's taking over for Leigh today) and she's got an AWESOME sketch for us to try! I love this one!  Be sure to check out her blog for the sketch and all the TCP Tuesday details.

I just got this new paper from American Crafts (LOVE their stuff!) and these new stamps from Alma so I was dying to try them out.  Yes, I realize it isn't even close to Easter but I don't care, I needed something flowery with all the Halloween and Christmas stuff I've been working on. 

Have a great day!!

Now don't all pass out at once...

But I actually scrapped! Can you believe it?  If you know me personally, then you know that I DO NOT scrapbook...I kind of hate it actually (to be honest) so this one was definitely a stretch for me. Alma sent me this cute little blackboard house album so she basically forced me to scrap - haha! :)  My plan was to use a picture of Isaiah in his costume from every Halloween that he's had but I couldn't find enough pics!  So, I just used ones from Halloween '03 - he was a little Tiger. 

I really don't have time to go into all the details of every page but PLEASE feel free to email me if you have any q's.  Have a good day, chickadees!

Today's the Day!

The new stamps are availabe from The Cat's Pajamas!  And listen to this!  Alma's got a new deal check it out -

 

Yep! You get all three clear stamp sets for just $39! That is a steal!!  And these stamps are SUPER CUTE!! (As always, right?)  :) Check out all the details on the TCP website.

Here's another piratey sampe for ya.  Enjoy!

Only one more sleep...

Until the new stamps are released from The Cat's Pajamas!   One of the new sets is called Fairy Christmas and it has a completely different look than the usual TCP.  They're very whimsical and sweet and I ADORE them!  Alma had a new artist design them and I think  more might be on the way in the future.

For my project, I had gotten some coasters in the $ Bins at Michaels (there was like, 20 coasters for a buck) and I thought they would make cute Christmas ornaments.  Both images are covered with paper from American Crafts and colored with Copic markers.  I used a Crop-a-dile to punch holes in the coaster and set the eyelets for the ribbon. 

Be sure to check out The Cat's Pajamas to see all the new stamps tomorrow!

TCP Tuesday on Wednesday

So, all day yesterday I kept thinking it was Monday so I completely forgot about TCP Tuesday! ACK! What a dork! Anyway, Toni is the Hostess with the Mostess this week and her stamp challenge is to use any Sprinkle image (Sprinkle is the name of the cat that is so often used in TCP images.)  Check out her blog for all the details!

Here's my card.  I was in the mood for something Christmas-y but have been running around like a mad-woman trying to get everything done so this is another quick and simple card (love those!)  Enjoy!

P.S. Be sure to be checking the other Cat Pack blogs for more sneak-peeks of the new TCP stamps being released on the 26th! :)

TCP Goodness!

I've got another sneak-peek for you guys and this time it's from The Cat's Pajamas! Alma has three new clear sets coming out on Friday (Sept. 22nd) and this one is called Arrgh! Piratey! and it's a set filled with 17 pirate images!! How fun is that?  Perfect timing since yesterday was "Talk Like a Pirate Day."  And want to know what's even better than new stamps?  New stamps ON SALE! Yep!  All you have to do is buy all three of the new stamp sets and you'll get them for $39 instead of the retail price of $54! Awesome deal! And I've heard a rumor that there is blog candy being given away by some of the other Cat Pack members so be sure to check out their blogs to find the yummy goodness! 

For this card, I started with acetate (love that stuff!) and adhered a striped piece of paper on the inner part of the back of the card (so it's actually inside the card.)  Then on the front of the card,  I stamped a swirl from the Poochie Christmas clear set using White Staz-On and the little star image is from the new pirate clear set and it's stamped in black Staz-On.  The awesome patterened paper is from DCWV and the image is colored with Copic markers.  Hope ya likey!

TCP Tuesday card...

I got the images that Toni sent me today and I was able to make a card for TCP Tuesday.  I'm in a big hurry 'cause we're heading to soccer practice in a few minutes so I have to keep my chit-chat to a minimum.
