Today is the day that all the stamp-y goodness I have been using is available in The Craft's Meow store!! I am so happy you found your way here from Lin's blog, if not, why not start at the beginning for tons of TCM goodness?!
So, I decided to give in to the trend and try it myself. Ha! Taking black cardstock, I white heat embossed the birthday image. I then took white Pigment ink and, using a sponge, swiped it over the image and the edges.
I then took a bit of a paper doily and some patterned papers and created a bit of a corner collage and added a chipboard button with twine.
Wanna chance to win all 5 sets? Leave comments on all the blogs to improve your chances! You have until Thursday May 23rd to do so. Next up is Sharri! Wander on over to see what she has done. She always inspires with her lovely creations!
Well, that concludes the stamp release fun! It is actually really bittersweet for me, because I have made the decision to step down from TCM. I have been so blessed to have been able to work with Lisa and my talented teamies for as long as I have. I will miss them all so very much. I wish I were one of those women who can do it all, but alas, I can not! I know that my kiddos won't be this little forever and must enjoy every moment with them. I know I will continue to support TCM and look forward to the amazing things The Craft's Meow has in store.

ReplyDeleteLindsay, I will really miss your inspiration - you've taught me that the smallest part of a stamp set can be used in a big way. I'll miss your input, but you are making a wise decision. Enjoy those sweet children; in a blink of an eye they'll be going away to school. Sending you big hugs!
