TCP Technique Challenge Blog Hop...

 
So hopefully you've arrived here from Toni's blog as you make your way through this Cat's Pajamas new release blog hop!  (If you missed the beginning, head on over to Jen's blog so you don't miss a thing!)  The challenge was to use a TCP Cut-Ups die to create an embellishment. My favorite new die has to be the snowflake! I love all the loops and how beautfully it cuts.  I added some confetti snowflakes in the center and a few on some silver thread, to make this bunny feel a little more wintery as he enjoys his presents for apparently being good all year!  Hiding on the left side there is also another new Cut-Up die (Big Scallop) that I can't wait to use on some of my other cards.  Alright, time for me to send you on to Sony's blog who no doubt has some fabulous creations waiting for you to enjoy!

 

TCP Sneaky Peek #2....

As you probably know from my previous posts, I do dig those pesky penguins from The Cat's Pajamas... I mean really, how can you not?  This adorable image called 'Round the Chimney' is exactly where I expected them to be... setting up for Santa and making sure all is good for his grand entrance!  Oh... and that fancy snowflake die (that I did sadly have to cover a bit w/ the phrase) is one of four dies being released this coming Tuesday. woohoo!  You know you want it... (I really did!) So as we near the end of our TCP sneaky peek week, hope you've enjoyed all the creations from the ladies of the 'Kat Pack' and hope to see you over at the Cat's Pajamas Splitcoast forum on Monday evening for the release party shindig!

TCP Sneaky Peeks...

 
I just love this cute little scarf girl from the new 'Jingle Bells' set coming out next week as part of The Cat's Pajamas Winter release!  I like that the image is a bit larger in size and there's more to color. (I definitely need to get working on those copic coloring skills!)  And that fun curly border die... yup... that's a sneaky peek, available on Nov. 23rd too.  I have one more card to share tomorrow, so come on back... and don't forget to head over to the TCP Splitcoaststampers forum and check out what we have going on there!  Winter release party on Monday, Nov. 22nd from 7-9p EST, 4-6p PST...
