Deep Breath . . . & NEWS!!

Hello!!  As some of you may have seen on Facebook already, I am so completely thrilled to be the newest member of The Cat's Pajamas design team, fondly known as The Cat Pack! You can read about it HERE.  I have loved TCP for such a long time and have had the great pleasure of seeing Alma on several occasions. She is just the nicest, warmest, most generous person!!  Thank you  so much Alma!!  And I am so so so happy to be joining this amazing team of stampers - some who I've worked with before (and love) and all who I've admired forever! YEA!!

So, yesterday was TCP Tuesday, and Toni's challenge is an inspiration challenge - a pretty pink & white teacup!  You can find all the details on Toni's blog, on Alma's blog and on Splitcoaststampers in the TCP Forum.  I just got this cute Deep Breath set and couldn't wait to ink it up!  I combined this week's challenge with the sketch from last week (since I never got a chance to make that one).

As you can tell, I picked the pink from the inspirational piece - love this week bunny  in his pink hat & scarf!  Since I cut him out to fit the sketch I used a bit of clear cardstock to die cut a "skating rink" edged with glitter for him.

Be sure to add your card to Alma's blog for a chance to win $25 in Cat Cash AND check out the details for the Think Pink Customer Blog Hop going on now!! Thanks for stopping in and sharing in my joy today! :)
