TCP Tuesday 100 Hop…

I swear just yesterday the Cat Pack was chatting about starting TCP Tuesday and now here we are at TCP Tuesday 100. In true TCP style, it has to be BIG and of course there has to be a chance to win BIG! So here we go…

Ok, it’s a hop so here are the hop deets:

Both the start and where you should have come from to get here are on LEIGH’s blog.
After you leave here, you will hop on over to JOANNE’s blog.

I said it was BIG, so let’s go over those deets, too:

1. Instead of 1 TCP Tuesday challenge there are four: Sketch, Color, Inspiration and Supply.
2. You will find these challenges along the way on Leigh, Joanne, Toni and Amy’s blogs.
3. The winner will be chosen by the number of entries they have. The more entries the more of a chance they have. In the case of a tie, the winner will be picked at random.
4. The contest will last a week. All entries must be uploaded to the guestbook on Alma’s/TCP blog. The winner of the contest should have all their designs uploaded no later than Noon. PST. Monday March 15. The winner will be announced on Tuesday at Noon PST on March 16.
5. The winner will win a prize pack of hottest Cat Pack Picks~ 7 of the Cat Packs picks. That is 7 of the Cat Pack’s swanky sets and some of Alma’s personal favorite licks. (Buttons, glitter, you know goodies).

One of my favorite sets is the Coolvetica Alphabet. Sweet and simple without being blah is the best way that I can describe it. Let me know what you think…

My original plan was to make a card {of course!} to go along with Leigh’s sketch, but then I took this picture of Ellie and got inspired to make a 6 x 6 scrap page. Why 6 x 6? Well, I don’t scrap and I find all the bigger sizes of scrapping a little tedious and a wee bit intimidating. I immediately thought of adding a little title using this alpha and now I have a wee page that I can display in my room. LOVE it!

The picture was taken at Twisted Root Burger Company in Roanoke. I’ve been wanting to go since we saw it featured on the Food Network. It was YUM-O. Ellie and Tony shared a chocolate shake for dessert {ahem, appetizer} and I had a Thin Mint shake…de-lish! As for my burger, I had a burger with swiss and beer marinated carmelized onions with sweet potato chips on the side. Needless to say, we will be back!

Here’s the sketch for the challenge that I used…

Learned Something New ~ A Tutorial…

{February 24, 2010 at 2:19 pm}

That’s what I love about this industry…you are able to learn something new {almost} everyday. Sometimes it’s can be something simple, sometimes it’s something really cool and other times you smack yourself on the forehead and say, “Why didn’t I think of that before!?” Well, the other day I was at Scrapper’s Boutique, [...]
