TCPTUES318-Christmas In July

Hey there party people, and welcome to my blog!! 

It's Tuesday, so it's time for another challenge from THE CAT'S PAJAMAS!! Our new challenge is Christmas in July, and even though I can hear fireworks going off in the background, and it's hot as.......well, it's hot, I can do some Christmas at any time because TCP has the BEST holiday sets!!

For my card today, I used the super cute All Is Bright set. I colored my bunny with some spots, because the best kinda bunnies have spots. I used a fun paper pad from Carta Bella called Merry&Bright. My card stock is from both MFT(Berrylicious) and Bazzill(Juicy Pear and Candy Hearts), as well as the white I use from Michael's(Recollections 110). All my holes were pierced by hand using a paper piercer, SU template. My buttons are from different vendors(MFT, Oriental Trading, and Recollections), and I used Michael's brads, a spiral clip, and some MFT Berrylicious grosgrain. I finished it off with a CutUp from the Celebration Toppers.

Here are the TCP products I have used:

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.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Hope you enjoyed my card, and I hope to see you playing along!! Until next time, stay awesome!

So, by now you are wondering....am I lost? Did I stumble upon the wrong blog? Is the link not working? Nope, I made this....all by my big self. I hand colored, then cut out, and then applied Diamond Glaze to all of those gems...and then I waited for them to dry like a patient person.

I KNOW, RIGHT??

I even took some seed beeds, and silvery white cord, and created the beaded tassels that are hanging from my fancy bow. I used some pom pom trim....all sorts of stuff that was out of character!!

Oh, and ya'll, my paper all came from the Paper Garden, which is a company out of Canada!! If you live in Canada, and you are looking for some amazing quality paper, and a great company to work with...look no more, they are TRULY fabulous!! I used their Stardream Aquamarine and Kunzite from their Metallics selections, and some Aura Pink from their Matte selections.

There are several large script words plus so many smaller sentiments that you can mix and match to create amazing combinations!  Plus five lovely gem images for a total of TWENTY TWO amazing stamps!

It's also Challenge Day and as always, our challenge is ANYTHING GOES!!!

This set...well, it's just pretty Flockin' Fun....amirite?
I was TICKLED when I saw it, and it made me think of so many things!! It made me think of Disney World...I mean, who has left there without a dozen pictures of the flamingos??? It made me think of vacation, and fun....of course! But most importantly, it made me think of a fundraiser they do to raise money for Relay for Life. They put Flamingos(the lawn ornaments) in your yard, and you have to pay to have them removed...all the money, of course, goes to charity.
