Ahoy There…
It’s SNEAKY PEEK WEEK at THE CAT’S PAJAMAS!
Be sure to check out the TCP/Alma’s blog for a complete list of where to find all the sneak peeks! In addition to it being the sneak peek day for WHALE OF A TIME, it’s also TCP TUESDAY and Hipster Hostess with the Mostess, AMY {click on her name to get all the deets on how to win Cat Cash for playing along!}, has issued a TWINE CHALLENGE!! In case you haven’t seen yet, TCP is now offering DIVINE TWINE is a slew of colors from which to choose. Here’s what I came up with…
This is a shadowbox from IKEA that I made into a sweet baby{ish} gifty. The navy is felt {hint hint of what’s to come at TCP} and the waves were created from something else special coming your way from TCP!! Each of the waves is embossed with an embossing folder do give it a little bit more dimension. I created the life preserver from Nestabilities and then attached my DIVINE TWINE to make it part of it. The twine is also on top of the ribbon that goes all the way around the box.
Although I love the idea of creating more of these shadowboxes, I got a taste of how hard they are to photograph! Here are a few more photos of the project {the 20+ I had to take!}…
Here’s another peek at this oh-so-fun-to-paper-piece whale on a simple, but fun, card I created…
All of the new sets and goodies {wink!} will be available for purchase on July 20th! Want to win all the new stamps? Just leave a comment of the sneak peekers each day {full list HERE} and one lucky ducky commenter will win all EIGHT sets!! Winner will be announced at the July 19th RELEASE PARTY ON SCS! Good luck! 
Oh how I looooove your shadow box! I need to get over to Ikea to pick up some of those frames!
…and I agree with you completely… projects like this are a pain to photograph!!!!
HUGS Jen!

LOVE your shadow box Jen! It is FAB! I want to make one now too! I love that little whale - he reminds me of Fudgey the Whale from Carvel (now I want ice cream - DOH!)
Love the layers in the shadow box! So cute how you embossed the waves differently - LOOOOVVVVEEEE!!!! And I love how you put the holes around the focal point on the card - gotta try that soon! TFS! :o)
Wow, I love everything nautical, but you have outdone yourself with the shadowbox, amazing job!!!

Lovely projects. You always have just the right amount of embellies and create the most beautiful things!
That twine is just the icing on the cake - goes so well with such a gorgeous project. I think IKEA should be paying you commission, LOL!
Love seeing papercrafting framed for a change. Sweet gift idea. Love the layered waves - so many possibilities. Whole layout is super.
These are adorable! Love the dimension of the framed piece; those waves look great!
Oh, wow, that frame is so neat, Jen! All the details are perfect!

Great dimension effects here.
This shadow box is so cute! My trip to IKEA is coming up shortly and I can’t wait to pick some up!
