April Cat's Pajamas Blog Hop!!

Hey there, and welcome to this month's new release blog hop with The Cat's Pajamas!!

I am your first stop on the hop, so thanks for joining me!! 

For my card today, I used the super fun new Live Love Laugh Cut Up paired with the new Watercolor Basics stamp set. I used it to create this fun card set. I had so much fun with the colors and creation of this set!!!

Here are the products I have used:

TCP Sneak Peeks-Our Final Day!

Hey there friends, and welcome to this month's The Cat's Pajamas release peeks!! We are trying some new things around here, including going to MONTHLY releases again, AND dedicated days for each Cat Packer!! Today, is my day, and also the last day of peeks so I hope you have been following along and commenting on all the wonderfulness my fellow teammates have created, I'm truly not worthy!!

My first card used the new Hola Tequila, which is actually an old set that we are bringing back for another Hurrah!! I love how fun and festive you can be with this set, and I had fun playing with the colors, and even drew in a little patio for them to sing to us on!  Along with the Tequila set, I used one of my favorite dies for creating fun backgrounds, the Framed Up 2 Cut Ups.

For my second card, I HAD to use this DARLING image from the new Bunnies in Flight set!!! 

ISN'T IT THE MOST FUN!!!

Bunny is riding his dragon, and looking rather cute while doing so, I think!! I even added a charm that says "brave", because you've got to be brave to ride a dragon!! 

You can see the full sets below that I have used today!

For a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the store, comment on each of the designer's blogs on a daily basis including mine today. Winners will be announced on The Cat's Pajamas Blog and Facebook page each day. Today is the last day of peeks, so be sure to check out our blog hop happening tomorrow night!!

The release will be available on April 25 although Hola Tequila is available now.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Life is Good-Paper Nest Dolls

Hey there party people!! Happy to see you again here on my blog!

Today I have a super fun creation I made using the adorable 

Ellie with Flower Pot from the Paper Nest Dolls!!

I had so much fun coloring Ellie up, and pairing her with some bright, cheery papers from Gina K Designs. I was so ready for Spring, and less cold weather....mind you, I don't want it hot, but not so cold would be lovely!! I always love when the flowers start to bloom, and you see people out working in gardens, and planting beautiful flowers. It's the most beautiful time of the year!

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out Ellie in the Paper Nest Dolls shop, and have a great day!!

April Showers Bring Kraftin' Kimmie New Goodies!

Well, we've finally made it to the end of release week, and all the new stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie are now available to be purchased!! Thanks so much for taking the time to follow along and comment this week as we revealed all out wonderful new sets like: Snow White and Cinderella from Annie, Puddle Pals from Emilie, and the set I used today, Rainy Day Lulu from Cheryl Grant!!

As you can see I have used a much more muted color pallette for today's card. I am using this week's color challenge from the Can You Case It challenge to use Sky Blue, Grey, Brown and White. I thought it would make a great combo for a dreary, rainy day scene...and I was right(I think!!)!!

You can check out the CYCI Challenge at our Facebook page!


Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my work! Have fun on the hop, and be sure to tell my teammates how much you like their work....they do a great job and deserve all the praise!!

April Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks-Day Two!

Welcome to Day TWO of our April Krafty Peeks
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

How about another fairytale princess???
We've got another stunning design by artist Annie Rodrigue!
It's CINDERELLA!

To say I had a ton of fun making this card would be an understatement....I mean, WOAH, I had so much fun!! I used Melanie's favorite color PURPLE(Melanie hates purple, but it's my favorite so I like to give her all the crap), and some blue that is so close to purple you could call it purple and I don't think anyone would argue with you! I also used a GORGEOUS paper I found while cutting all my SU DSP packs into 6x6 that's silver and white striped...I used it for all the stars....it's shiny and so yummy. On her dress, I imagined it was in the process of being made, so the color wasn't complete, and the stars and swirls have stickles on them, which I'm not sure are a think anymore, but I still have them, so I used them(hello, my name is Jessie, and I am a craft hoarder). Hanging from my silver seam binding, I hand thread crystal beads and sequins to make some pretty dangly thingies(that's a technical term right there).  There are other things going on on this card like May Arts ribbon, brads...stuff...but I have a migraine and I need sleep.

This is such a magical image featuring the sweet princess and her gorgeous ball gown!  Plus the set comes with three fabulous sentiments!

All the Krafty Team and Guests listed below have lots of beautiful creations to share with you today featuring the  CINDERELLA stamp set!  You'll see her in so many different colours and scenes!!  Be sure to hop around and leave lots of love at each and every stop because one lucky commenter will WIN a gift voucher to the krafty shop!  The winner will be announced at the LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 2pm EST, so be sure to join us for all the krafty fun!

Well that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by my blog on your way through the hop(Kimmie put me first because, well, she was shocked I was ready on time), and I hope you are enjoying the peeks so far! Have a great day, and see you tomorrow for more fun!!

April Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks-Day One!

Welcome to the April Release of amazing new spring stamp sets at
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!

The first stamp set we are sharing with you might look a little familiar because you may have seen a little peek of this gorgeous new set by artist Annie Rodrigue!  It just happens to be the Secret Krafty Klub set that we sent out to the members in February!
It's SNOW WHITE!

I decided when I started to color Snow, that, well, there is no way she only owns that one dress! I mean, wouldn't that be terrible to have to wear the same ol dress day in and day out....so needless to say, she is not in her traditional primary colored outfit. Instead I went with a Pink and White dress, and had a ton of fund making a card that I thought was worthy of her gorgeousness!!

Here is a look at the full set:

What a precious scene of this sweet princess with her woodland friends!  It's a beautiful big image to colour up along with three sweet new sentiments!  And think of the fabulous scenes you could make with clouds and grass and some background dies and stamps!!

All the Krafty Team and Guests listed below have lots of joyful designs to share with you today featuring the

 SNOW WHITE stamp set!  Be sure to hop around and leave lots of love at each and every stop because one lucky commenter will WIN a gift voucher to the krafty shop!  The winner will be announced at the LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday, so don't miss it!

TCPTUES335-Just a Little Sassy

Hey there friends, and welcome to this week's The Cat's Pajamas challenge. This week's challenge is just a little bit sassy, so we are pulling out those sassy sentiments, which let's face it, TCP has a ton of!

For my card, I used the super cute Strange and Wonderful set...because I love the sentiment I used, and I think it's the perfect mix of sassy and fun!!

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.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Hope to see you playing along!
