TCP Tuesday 150: Sketch Challenge

Leigh is this week's TCP Tuesday hostess and she's challenging us with one of her hip and happenin' sketches. This one uses two triangle-like pennant shapes, so if you already own The Cat's Pajamas CutUps Pennant die, this sketch is going to be a cinch for you!

In addition to the CutUps Pennant panels, I've paper pieced and Copic colored Snowflake Girl, adding extra fringe to her scarf using The Cat's Pajamas Ivory Linen Thread colored with Copics. I've never tried coloring this thread before, and boy is that slick! I love that I was able to stretch this stamp into Spring because she's just THAT darn cute, especially holding the flower in her hand...a sign of Spring, right?! The rest of my embellishments include more CutUps dies: Flower Buttons and Buttons, and the fabulous paper is from My Mind's Eye.

Please check out both Leigh and Alma's blogs for more TCP Tuesday fun! Can't wait to see what you've drummed up with Leigh's sketch.

TCP Tuesday {Retro}...again!

I decided since I used an "old" project for this week's TCP Tuesday: Retro (see previous post),  I'd conjure up something new since I had a little extra time on my hands. I used a classic from The Cat's Pajamas, It's a Mod, Mod World, along with our new Love Letters. My retro challenge goes waaay back to a sketch from TCP Tuesday #3! I haven't made a long-skinny (card) for quite some time and quite enjoyed the change! One last deet before I go is all about that yummy Divine Twine...head on over to TCP to fulfill your twine-fix!

Remember to check out Alma's blog for the complete challenge details, and have a great weekend!

TCP Tuesday {Retro}!

This week's TCP Tuesday challenge is offered up by Alma, and she's given us the pleasure of going "retro"; choosing a previous TCP Tuesday challenge as a springboard for our creations this week. I'm really going retro with this fun 'bunny banner' I made last fall but forgot to share with you here on my blog!

My bunny banner uses the four winter bunny sets that were released in November 2010 along with our CutUps Pennant die used to create each as an embellishment (TCPTUES135). Although each of these snow bunnies is more fun than one should have stamping all on their own, they're pulled together here with the colors in the October Afternoon papers I've used.

Don't forget to stop by Alma's blog for all the information you need to play along with this week's 'retro' challenge...

Have a hoppin' day!

It'll Be Okay {WSC}

 

Another week of MFT's WSC means another great sketch. This week I've turned that great sketch on it's head with my sweet little Pure Innocence girl, combined with some of my favorite October Afternoon papers and the new flat bottomed cloud Die-namics die.

 

Here's a detail of her shiny rain slicker...

Check out Kim's blog for this week's original sketch as well as the gals playing along with it. Don't forget that by playing along, you're eligible for a little extra MFT cash! Upload to SCS using keyword: MFTWSC10.

Have a great Wednesday!

Welcome to the delayed version of this month's SFYTT! I sincerely apologize for posting a day late, but I totally FORGOT to photograph and blog my card before I left for the weekend, and I even had my card all finished and everything! Anyway, here's my card using a hilariously cute digi image from this month's sponsor, Amber Ink:

Every time I look at  Kittykat Kid, I smile. She's got the greatest expression on her face! I paper pieced her outfit and colored in the rest with Copics, adding bits of sparkle with my Sakura Gelly Roll pen here and there. The paper is from MME's Black Bird collection, and the sentiment is from an older set from The Cat's Pajamas, called Loving Mew.

Jen's March Guest Designer is Shelley Dupont, and I just can't wait to see what she and the other SFYTT sisters have in store for this month's fun sketch!

Top o' the morning, Mate!

It's a bit hard to see my (computer generated) sentiment beneath the orange bow, but it's there, wishing you a good day, Mate! I printed the sentiment on Simply Chartreuse card stock (PTI) before die cutting it with my CutUps Big Scallop die from The Cat's Pajamas. I just can't make anything 'TCP' these days without my Big Scallop die! You might spy another CutUps die in the mix, the Wave die, holding up our adorable TCP whale from the A Whale of a Time set with a fun St. Paddy's Day hat (A Beary Good Year) perched atop his sweet little (big) head! I always find it a fun challenge to look outside the box for ways to stretch my existing stamp sets to fit 'other' holidays.

Oh, BTW...my card today is for this week's TCP Tuesday Challenge #148: Let's Get Lucky, hosted by our dear Susan Liles. Please check out Sus's blog for all the swanky details, hop over to Alma's blog to link your card, and don't forget SCS where you can hang with the TCP gang in our member company forum and/or upload your card using keyword: TCPTUES148.

Hope y'all 'Get Lucky' this week...just sayin'!

You Give Me Warm Fuzzies {WSC}

I'm so excited to show you a peek at one of the newest Pure Innocence sets, Warm Fuzzies! She's just adorable as can be, and although I've kept her a white bunny for today's card, I can't wait to paper piece her with some yummy patterned papers! This is also sketch #9 for the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club, and another great sketch it is! You can see lots more of this sketch by checking out the MFTWSC9 gallery over at SCS.

Be sure to check out Kim's blog for a list of all the girls playing along this week, and stop by the MFT Member Co. Forum over at SCS while you're uploading your sketch #9 card (keyword: MFTWSC9) for even more inspiration!

Have a great Wednesday...
