TCP Tuesday time! And today it's coinciding with our TCP blog hop, so hopefully you've arrived at my post from Susan's blog... If not, doh! Why not start at the beginning of the hop which is Toni's blog (and most conveniently she's the hostess with the mostess for this week's TCP Tuesday!) As per our usual rules, if you leave a comment at each blog in the hop, you'll be entered to win some fabulous prizes (yes, I'll let you know what they are in a bit!) So, on to TCP Tues!
So here is what we have for this week's TCP Tuesday 'Inspiration challenge'! Ohh... it's so 'Fall'! I can't believe Fall is just around the corner (or actually, it's already here!) Using this card as inspo, what did I come up with? hmm...
So the gray and orange colors went along a little better than I thought... and I had to throw in a pumpkin (made from 5 ovals, what a fun technique!) and fall leaf in there too. That pretty grey background oval with the swirls on it is a really funny 're-use' effort on my part. Can you guess where I got it from? Hee-hee...
If you play along with the blog hop, the two new fabulous sets being released today that I used in this card could be yours! Gobble It Up and the fun Babydoll alphabet set will be given to one lucky blog hop participant on Friday and the winner will be announced on Alma's blog! So make sure to leave those comments along the hop! We'd also love for you to play along in this week's TCP Tues, so get your creative juices flowing and upload a photo of *your* inspired creation on Alma's blog here (scroll to the bottom.)
Thanks for visiting and now on to Jen's blog, your next fabulous 'hop stop!'
totally cuuuute!!

Tracy, I really like how you stamp your own background in matching colors to the inspiration and used the grey as the base-- you are right it looks great with the orange; NICE REUSE!:) Sprinkles looks like she is ready to carve that pumpkin! :)
