BIG birthday wishes, Wendy!

It's someone's birthday today, and her name is Wendy Bond! I'm so excited to be part of her birthday blog hop...here's to ya, Wendy! I've gotten to know Wendy while working on the MFT WSC Challenge Team together, and I can tell she's just one of the girls that I HAVE to meet someday in real life, because I have a sneaking suspicion that we have a lot in common, and we could probably get ourselves into a bit of trouble!

My card uses a fun mix of Cosmo Cricket's Circa 1934 papers and a sweet, yet mischievous birthday bunny from The Cat's Pajamas. It's hard to see on the photo, but the frosting on the cake is that shiny meringue frosting...you know, the kind you have to beat and beat and beat til it forms soft peaks? Wouldn't you know, I stuck my darn finger in it before it was dry, trying to tie the gingham bow--geesh, I have no patience!

Let's keep the par-tay going and hop on over to Christina's blog for more sure-to-be-spectacular birthday wishes!

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club: LUV U2


For this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch #4 using lots of fun MFT fixin's: Die-namics Dainty Lace Doily die, Die-namics Hearts a Plenty and Die-namics Banner Strip Die & Mini Alphabet stamp set. I wanted to combine a clean vintage look with a modern sentiment for a fun eclectic feel. The sentiment comes from the final-final text of the night between my daughter, Kendra and me. Even though texting can be a bit impersonal, those "Luv U2" messages from my kiddos get me every time!

Be sure to check on Kim's blog post for everyone playing along with this week's sketch, and then remember to post YOUR sketch card to SCS using keyword: MFTWSC4. Good luck and happy stamping!

TCP Tuesday 143: L-O-V-E!

Today's TCP Tuesday challenge is being hosted by our gal, Susan Liles, and she's challenging us to a TCP sentiment that contains the word "heart" or "love". Check out Susan's blog for today's challenge deets and don't forget to link up your card to Alma's blog as well.

I've got a few samples using new sets just released from The Cat's Pajamas a week ago. Just in case you haven't experienced quite enough arm-twisting, I'm here to twist and turn your arm a bit more. Let's start off with Love Letters and the new CutUps Heart Trio & Stamp Trio dies...



...and then there's Got Love, accompanied by our CutUps Heart Trio & Big Scallop dies...





...and finally, there's Bee My Honey, featuring stamps from Love Letters and Honey Bear. I know, I know--no "love" or "heart" in the sentiment, but the teeny heart from Love Letters counts, right?!



In order to isolate and stamp random hearts, I snipped one of the teeny tiny hearts from the row of hearts included in Love Letters. Mind you, I am VERY careful when I've finished stamping with that tiny stamp, so that I don't lose it (don't ask...).

Here are full shots of the TCP stamps and CutUps dies used today...





Thanks for stopping by today!

Is is cute or what?! The Jr. version of Dr. McDreamy...McSteamy...or whatever trips your clipboard! Pair him up with my new favorite paper from Cosmo Cricket, Circa 1934, and it's a match made in stamping heaven, girls. Almost forgot to tell you his real name...World's Best Doctor!

How are you liking the weekly sketch challenge for MFT's Wednesday Stamp Club? What's that you ask...do I like weekly sketches? LOVE.it. Check out Kim's blog for a full list of MFT girls playing along today, and then post your sketch card to SCS using keyword: MFTWSC3, so we can peek at all the sketchy goodness!

TCP Tuesday 142 + Release Day Blog Hop!



Welcome to TCP Tuesday and our January stamp release blog hop! I'm showing off Bear Hugs in our TCP Tuesday color challenge: kraft, red, black and yellow. Sony is our hostess with the mostess with all of the challenge details. She's also heading up the blog hop today, so if you want to start from the top, head to Sony's blog. You may have also hopped here from Jen's blog on the hop...and you'll be heading to Leigh's blog when you're done here.

You are sure in for a calorie free treat today with all sorts of goodies from the entire Cat Pack! The hop is jam packed full of creations using the new sets available from The Cat's Pajamas as of today!

Here's a closeup of the CutUps banner which uses stamps from Love Letters. I stamped the words: hugs, &, kisses, one on each banner section in Versamark for a fun, subtle effect. Each of the banner sections is pulled together using the CutUps button trio die and Beige Linen Thread, also from TCP. To pull in the red a bit more, I used one of the teeny tiny hearts from Love Letters, and stamped it randomly on the heart...love that tiny heart, and it stamps so crisply!


Now that you've had a look at Bear Hugs, you are ready to hop along to Leigh's blog for something out of this world fantastic, no doubt!

Here are the TCP products used today:



Have fun on the hop, and don't forget to SHOP!!

Sneaky Peek Day #5: Love Letters

Sneaky Peek Week


Here's my little Sneaky Peek of Love Letters, coming to your mailbox on Tuesday, January 18th! Probably not your mailbox on the 18th, but soon after if you find yourself smitten with this set as much as I am. Actually, there's so much to love about it that it's a bit overwhelming in the fact that there are 19 stamps included in this set with soooo many possibilities! That overwhelming feeling is called: I have so many ideas for this stamp set and I don't know which idea to start with! I've also used a few TCP CutUps which can be seen below.

You MUST check out Alma's blog for an over the top awesome sample from the Cat Lady herself, and even more inspiration from my good buddies, Leigh and Carole! I won't keep you a minute longer, so you can check out the girls!
