I am in love, not a little bit in love, a lot in love. Like, completely  in love, and today's set, MY HERO is just part of my excitement....wait until you see everything we have in store for you!!

I just ADORE this set, why is that you ask? Well, if you know me at all, you would know that I have a SLIGHT obsession with superheroes....and by slight, I mean....I'm obsessed, no turning back. I'm a comic book reading, action figure collecting, can't miss the movie in Imax3D, t-shirt wearing member of the superhero fan club, and not ashamed to admit it. 

I'm a 37 year old woman, and I own Wonder Woman legging, I use a Wonder Woman backpack, and I carry a Wonder Woman purse to fancy occasions. There is 0 shame in my game, lol.

And here are the products I have used:

Here are the need to know details about this month's release!!

TCP312 Wings

This week's The Cat's Pajamas challenge is to make a card with wings....so, I made a card with wings from a plane. :)

This is one of my FAVORITE sets from The Cat's Pajamas called Take Off. I colored it with Copics, and paired it with the super cute Doodlebug Spring Garden paper pad. To accent my card, along with my normal stuff: ruffled ribbon, buttons, brads, spiral clips..., I used several CutUps. I used the Stitched Fly, Wavy Stitched Border, and Cloud Border. 

Here are the CutUps and the super cute set that I used:

Here are all the need to know details about 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 EST before the next challenge.
3. You are not required to use a Cat’s Pajamas stamp or die on your project 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.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my stuff, see you next week for our release!!

Saturday Challenges: Kraftin' Kimmie Style!

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This week's challenge has a "New Home" theme. This gave me the PERFECT opportunity to use the new " Happy New Home" from Cheryl! 

I paired the new stamp set with some Kaisercraft Botanica paper, which is 20% off right now, too!! My image was colored with Copics, and paired with cardstock from MFT in Grapesicle and Hot Fudge, and Certainly Celery from SU. My buttons are from MFT(Sweet Tooth, Hot Fudge, Grapesicle, and Spearmint), and I used some Hot Fudge grosgrain, purple ruffled ribbon, Michael's brads, spiral clips, and a Large Open Scalloped Border Die-namics from MFT. 

My card is also for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge, to make a card using the color purple!
