Easy Inspiration…
Aug 12th, 2008 by Jen
The last three post titles would probably have you believe that I am something that I am not, but at least it keeps things lively around here! LOL! Well, today is Tuesday and that means another installment of TCP Tuesday. If you haven’t yet heard, Carole has taken on a Design Team Position with Cornish Heritage Farms. CHF asks their designers to be exclusive to them, so Carole is no longer with the TCP team. Why am I even talking about this? Well, because she was the one that headed up the TCP Tuesday Inspiration Challenges. I have now stepped into her spot. So, here we are, me hosting the TCP Tuesday Inspiration Challenge. I figured I would start things off easy peasy. Your inspiration is BIRTHDAYS! Tomorrow is my 30th…EEEEEEEEEEEK!, so I figured it would be appropriate to use this “theme.” Make your project as simple or as wild as you would like, just don’t forget to link it to this post, k?!?
Here’s my sample…
Does this sketch look familiar? That’s because it’s part of the Anni-VERVE-sary sketches. Yesterday I went to Julee’s blog seeking a Mojo Monday sketch. I wasn’t out of luck tho, I used the Monday sketch from all the Anni-VERVE-sary sketches. Cute sketch, huh? I think so! 
The card measures 3.5×7″. I picked up that super fun patterned paper a few weeks ago went Susan and I trekked out to Mineral Wells’ scrapbook store. It’s from We R Memory Keepers. Very cute and I am thinking that I may have to hoard it!
Wanna play and have a chance at winning 25 buck-a-roos in Cat Cash? Listen up, here’s how…
1. Each a week one of the The Cat’s Pajamas DT Members will host a challenge.
2. The challenges will vary {stamp, color, theme/inspiration, sketch, etc.}
3. You will have until {this} Saturday night to complete the challenge.
4. Link your project on this week’s hostess’ challenge announcement. This week you will link your project HERE on this post.
5. TCP stamps are not required, but of course, highly encouraged. {Unless it is a challenge calling for a specific stamp}
6. There will be one winner each month. They will be deemed that month’s Swankiest Stamper and get $25 in Cat’s Cash {money to spend on the TCP site!}.
7. When uploading to SCS, please use the keyword TCPTUES20 for this challenge.
8. Alma will post the entries from the week the following Monday on her blog.
9. The newly crowned Swanky Stamper will be announced on the First of the Month and have his/her winning entry posted on The Cat’s Pajamas website where he/she will reign for the entire month.
Psst…one more thing:
Don’t forget to play along with this week’s SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY! I’ll be drawing a random winner on Friday for “a little something” from me!
oh, wait…ONE more thing…

Happy Birthday, Jen!
I used the same stamp, because it was the most birthday-like TCP stamp I have! I went ’simple’. Here is my card:
