TCPTUES153 - Colorful!

Hi everyone! This week we have a beautiful color combo to play with, hosted by the super-talented Tori...we hope you can stop by Tori's blog for all the details on how to play along! These colors just scream sunshine to me, and so does the fabulous brand new Easy Rosette Die that was released last week by The Cat's Pajamas - they've been a huge hit! And if you click on the link to the die, you'll also find the super video that Alma posted to show how to use the dies - it's all there for you!

It's a New Release Blog Hop!

Soooooo, hopefully you're joining me for the New Release Blog Hop by The Cat's Pajamas! If you are hopping through, you'll have arrived here from Carole's blog; if you want to start at the beginning, head over to Julie's blog - she's our Hostess for this TCP Tuesday Challenge.

Julie challenged us to think differently about the shape of our card...yikes! This was a tough one for me! I played around with some shaped dies and came up with this flower-type shape. But what I like best is the AWESOME grass die that is brand new for this release! I love how realistic it looks! The stamp set is called "Wet Puddle" and I was thrilled with how the paper piecing turned out for the little girl's coat and boots!

Thank you, as always, for stopping by! Next stop is Tracy's blog- have fun!

Catch My Drift?

Here's another Sneak Peek of a set ("Catch My Drift?") coming next week from The Cat's Pajamas...check out the sweet bear!! How can you look at this set and not smile :) Find links to more Sneak Peeks over on Alma's blog - they'll be coming all week long!

What A Blast!

Here we go with a week of Sneak Peeks from The Cat's Pajamas :) Jen is hostessing a terrific Inspiration Challenge for us...hop over to her blog for all the details and the inspiration piece!

My card today uses the brand new "What A Blast" set coming next Tuesday...check out PJ with the cool pinwheel - and there's a die to match, too!! I pulled out my long-unused colored pencils and had fun with them...I really like how PJ turned out! Stop by The Cat Pack's blogs throughout the week (and Alma's blog every day) for more TCP goodness!

Sketch Challenge - TCPTUES150

Leigh is hostessing this week with another super sketch. I decided to pull out some baby-themed TCP stamps ("And Baby Makes..." and paper :) You'll find all the details for playing along with us right here on Alma's blog - and this coming week we'll be rolling out some sneak peeks for the upcoming release - so stay tuned!

Back in time with TCP Tuesday!

This week Alma is having us go back through all our TCP Tuesday challenges (almost 150 of them!) and pick one of our faves - I chose TCP Tuesday 98 - paper piecing! I pulled out TCP's "Spring Fling" set and paper-pieced Poochie's carrot car :) It's definitely time for Springtime cards! Hop on over to Alma's blog for all the details on playing along this week - and stop by there again on Tuesday for our next challenge!

Feeling Lucky?

Susan is our fabulous Hostess this week for TCP Tuesday - and she's challenging us to think all about "luck" - make someone a good luck card or a St. Paddy's Day card using your TCP stamps! This kind of occasion is perfect for using the ever-popular "A Beary Good Year" set. Who can resist P.J. and all those accessories??

There are now even more opportunities to win with The Cat's Pajamas! Click here to hop over to Alma's blog and get the scoop! Happy stamping!

Color Challenge Card...

Here's my take on this week's Color Challenge - I had fun playing with the Springtime images in The Cat's Pajamas' "Hearts and Flowers" set from last year :)

Color Challenge for TCP Tuesday

The colors that Sony has chosen for this week's TCP Tuesday challenge just scream ice cream, don't they? All the details for playing along can be found on Alma's blog, and I'll be posting my card in the next day or two. Can't wait to see what you come up with! Also don't forget to stop by the TCP Facebook page and say hello at the Forum on Splitcoast Stampers :)

TCP Tuesday - Sweet!

I'm back with a functioning laptop again :) Just in time for Julie's TCP Tuesday challenge...and she has a "sweet" challenge for us to use candy on our cards...I just happened to have some Dove hearts around the house so decided to add one as an embellishment to my card. I think it makes a nice addition! I used the brand new "Got Love" set and included some paper piecing for the balloons.

In other TCP news, Alma is introducing a new feature called "Pick of the Litter" to showcase all the fabulous TCP creations out there! You'll be able to check out the latest Picks at The Cat's Pajamas' Facebook page or at our Forum on Splitcoast Stampers. Hope you can stop by!
