Welcome to Day FOUR of the January Krafty Peeks
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we've got ANOTHER gorgeous new stamp set by our incredible artist, Annie Rodrigue!  This girlie is ready for a party with all of her friends!  It's PARTY PEARL!

I'm not going to lie, I am super envious of Pearl's dress. I mean, I don't normally wear dresses, but this one...I think I would make an exception for....it's just too fun! I had fun grounding Francie in my last card(I made her a hard wood floor), so I decided to do the same for Pearl.....except I went with a stone floor. I thought it fit the mood better.

It's another large main image ready to colour up!  Look at all those pleats!  And the set comes with THREE coordinating fun sentiments!

Don't forget to join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes tomorrow on Saturday afternoon beginning at 1pm EST!!  Hope you can come hang out with the me and Krafty Girls at our

This month's hop started at SKIPPING STONES BLOG as normal, but if you are here now, you should have come from CORNELIA's BLOG!!

For my card today, I used one of my favorite sets from Skipping Stones Design-HOLIDAY CATS!! I paired my cute Santa Paws with some new Echo Park Christmas paper, and created this fun Christmas card around him.

My card is also for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge, to use stitches, faux stitching, buttons...etc. Which, uh, I use every card, lol!

Alright, that's enough of me for now! Next stop on the hop is the super talented

TCPTUES327-Seasonal Stars

Hey there party people....welcome back to the blog of the worst blogger ever!! Yeah, I took a mini blogging vacation. Lots of things going on, happy things, sad things, health things, all the things....but I am hoping to get the stamping thing back in order before all my design teams lose faith in me!

My card today is for the new THE CAT'S PAJAMAS Tuesday Challenge!! The new challenge is to use STARS, so I pulled out a ton of CutUps, both old and new, and got to work!

To start, I chose one of my fun new Christmas paper pads....did I need new Christmas paper? No. Did I buy it anyway? Yes. I have a paper problem...among all my other issues. Anywho, I paired it with matching colors of cardstock from both MFT and Bazzill, and used the Icicle CutUp for a border, the Scalloped Duo Die for my white panel that I put the Season's Greeting's CutUp on for my sentiment, and the Stars CutUps for my stars.  To finish, I added a couple of adorable penguins from the Penguin Joy set. Aren't they just the cutest??

Here are the products I have used:

Here are the details to the challenge!:

1. Every other Tuesday a new challenge will be posted on The Cat’s Pajamas blog and our Facebook page.
2. If you want to play along you just upload your design to The Cat’s Pajamas blog page using the InLinkz button by the Monday, 11:55 EDT before the next challenge.
3. You are not required to use a Cat’s Pajamas stamp or die but if you have them we would love to see them.
4. On the following TCP Tuesday, the winner will be chosen from the previous challenge and will receive a Cat Cash Voucher for $10 or $15 if a TCP product is used.

So, that is it for me for now!! I sure hope you had a chance to play along with this awesome challenge! Have a great week!
