TCP Tuesday 230: Miss Ewe, Kendra!

My dearest daughter decided to spread her wings a bit further and flew north to Alaska...the University of Alaska at Fairbanks to be exact, where's she's currently a student. Of course we're all missing her around here, but we're doing a little Skype-ing weekly which is a great way to keep in touch. There's just something about 'seeing' your loved ones, versus the usual texts and phone calls that gives a little extra security...seeing is believing, I guess! Anywhoo, I took this week's TCP Tuesday sketch by Amy Sheffer as an opportunity to send Kendra a little reminder that we're thinking of her...and missing her, too!

Love this sheep in her muffler, all sassy and warm! The image is from Sheepish, and I've also added a few CutUps for some fun embellishments: Snowflake Lace Paper, Apron Border and Easy Rosettes. Here's a little closeup of the embellishment detail...love those mini snowflakes and the crispness of the fishtail banner!

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

TCP Tuesday 185

This week's TCP Tuesday challenge is a sketch by hipster hostess, Leigh, so check out her blog for all the swanky details as well as her original sketch! I took a bit of Leigh-way (ha ha, get it?!) with the sketch, adding faux knitting needles where Leigh shows a filmstrip-type layer. I tried to knit a few stitches for real but ended up adding a few "pretend stitches" to each needle due to my lack of knitting skillz (where is my mom, sister or brother when I need an expert knitter?!).

The image is TCP's Sheepish combined with a wood mounted TCP sentiment that I've had for years, and I think it's just perfectly matched to the image! The sentiment is still available HERE along with a slew of awesome TCP wood mounted stamps, so be sure to take a look! Remember that every Friday in November is Black Friday at The Cat's Pajamas!

I'll be back on Friday with a fun little surprise, so come back and see me!

TCP Tuesday 181: Just the Two of Us...

...we can make it if we try, just the two of us...you and I! Ok, enough singing for now, but hey, I'm so inspired by this week's Inspiration Challenge hosted by Jen that I can't stop singin'! Here's Jen's inspiration piece...

My record shaped card label is stamped with the two sheep from Ewe Complete Me and layered atop a red circle with just enough room for the sentiment. The heart is from Simply Said, just the perfect size! My original intention for the record grooves was to use my round Nestabilities dies as a guide to emboss circles, but after one not-so-great attempt at that, plan B came into play: wonky sewn circles...I like!

Be sure to check out Jen's blog for all the details of TCP Tuesday and have a great week!
