Howdy there! It’s TCP Tuesday and this week we are doing it just a little different since it’s also Dare to Get Dirty week over on SCS. Leigh, a Dirty Girl alum, is this week’s Hipster Hostess with the Mostess and she is also hosting a Dare To Get Dirty challenge…and they are one in the same. The sketch is available to view on the challenge thread in the Fan Club Forum HERE. Be sure you also link up your creation on Alma’s/The TCP blog to be eligible for a chance to win some serious CAT CASH!

Did I mention this is a blog hop, too? If you started on Leigh’s blog and came here via Julie’s blog, you are on the right track. If not, hop on back and take a peek at all the goodness that you missed!

Here’s my card using the **JUST RELEASED** Toni’s Tea Set…

This set is a definitely must have! It’s fun to color, paper piece and is a wonderful everyday set! You can see more of what the TCP Design Team did with it HERE in the TCP Gallery. Speaking of **JUST RELEASED**, TCP also release glitter, felt, dies and 7 other sets…OH MY! You can check it all out HERE!

Ok, there’s so much more to see using this sketch, so I will get you on your way! Have fun hopping along to Tracy’s blog!

Hooray for Saturday! Today I’m teaching Copic class at Scrapper’s Boutique. I have a bunch more projects to work on when I get home. I’m all set and excited for a super crafty weekend!

This weekend we have a great sponsor…WILD FLOWER PATCH! They have great stamps, digi stamps and oh-so-cute templates! A HUGE THANK YOU to Wild Flower Patch for this week’s sponsorship!! This week’s winning participant will win 5 digi images of their choice! Yippeeeee!! I just have to publicly say THANKS to Jen at WFP for dealing with my mommy {ahem, super ditzy} brain, which was in FULL force during our communications!! How embarrassing!!

Here’s the sketch for this week…

Here’s my sample using the Pretty In Pink set. I love the look on this lil’ girls face…it is so ELLIE!! I even got Ellie to do the face when I showed her the card…hilarious. I’m thinking that I probably should have snapped a picture of it now!
