Hostess with the Mostess…
Happy Tuesday peeps! Did everyone enjoy their long weekend? While I had great intentions of stamping my lil’ heart out, I ended up working in the yard. I *finally* {ok, it really hasn’t been that long} got my dream of having landscaping in the back yard. After a long {and very informative} trip to Lowe’s, we walked away with 13 plants/shrubs/flowers to accompany the crepe myrtles and magnolia that are already planted back there. We still need to lay down the no-grass “paper” and put some mulch on it, but so far, so good! I am *very* happy and look forward to spending more time out there!
As for all that stamping, well…it didn’t get done. However, I did to make my TCP Tuesday card. In fact, I am this week’s Hipster Hostess with the Mostess and am offering up a great inspiration challenge for you to give a shot…
What do you think? There’s a lot to take in, but this is what came to mind for me…
FUN! Fresh, funky, patterns and summer.
How do all those thoughts translate into stamping? Just like this…
It’s a little more scrappy than stampy, with the use of both the Easy Rosettes and Flower Buttons CutUps dies. I used the fun and funky Nightie Alpha set to create the “Hello” sentiment and used the Flourish from the Simply Said set.
So are you gonna play along? Here’s some details for you to know…
1. Each Tuesday we will give you a challenge.
2. You will have until the end of the month to complete the challenge.
3. Add your entry to the guestbook {on Alma’s blog} or upload to the SCS Gallery, using the keyword TCPTUES161 for this week’s challenge.
4. TCP stamps are not required for this challenge, but highly recommended.
5. There will be one randomly chosen weekly winner, announced on Tuesdays who will win a Gift Voucher for use on The Cat’s Pajamas website.
6. There will be one winner, The Swanky Stamper, announced the 1st of each month. They will win several sets from an upcoming release and get to play along with us at our Pajama Party and Blog Hop.
What a sweet inspiration challenge. I love how happy this card is.
Very summery and bright, great card.
How nice to see a scrappy card. I love that flower. Having done one by scoring on a paper cutter, I now want to get a template like you used. Your springy colours are eye catching.
