TCP Tuesday 228 and The Weekly Winner


Last week's TCP Tuesday Challenge was a Color Challenge Hosted by Hostess with the Mostess, Lori.  If you know Lori, she is all about color and design. Last week, she challenged you to use Daffodil, Olive and Navy in your card or project.


For those of you who played in last week's TCP Tuesday Color Challenge, here is the place to put your cards.

Want to see what the rest of the Cat Pack did?

Check out Amy's fun card. She used the mustache die and the Build-A-Bingo set for her card. I love all the different looks that she gets with this one set of dies and that Bingo Card.

Amy does it again. I'm not sure how she does it, but she makes this scrappy vintage look so effortless. But, I know it is not.

Then, Jenny makes a card with no coloring at all! Huh? That's right! The gal didn't color her card in this color challenge. But, you know Jenny. Her card is a bold and sassy as she is.
Nancy's card is right on trend with her use of Chevrons! Just love her pretty, sweet card.

Julie's card is scrappy, but clean and simple. How she accomplishes all that in one card is amazing?


Now I want to see your card! Just add your entry to the inlinkz button below and join the rest of the peeps that played along with this challenge and you could win some Cat's Cash.

Then, head on back on over to Susan's blog. She is Hostessing the TCP Tuesday 229 Stamp challenge this week. And her challenge?

So the challenge is to use any "Penguin" stamp from The Cat's Pajamas.  Combine your stamp choice with the

TCP Tuesday 227 and the Weekly Winner

For those of you who played in last week's TCP Tuesday Technique Challenge, here is the place to put your cards.
Amy, created a sweet question box! I can see it as a game on rainy days. Stump the teacher!

Lori used the template from a past Project of the Month to create her teacher gift. A terrific K-Cup caddy.

Sometimes, you don't have to wait for a special occasion or the end of the year to present that wonderful teacher with a little something to let them know you appreciate them. Nancy creates a terrific card that does just that.

Now I want to see your card! Just add your entry to the inlinkz button below and join the rest of the peeps that played along with this challenge and you could win some Cat's Cash.

Swanky Stamper for September

Yes. I know it's the middle of the month. And the Swanky Stamper is usually announced towards the beginning of the month.

I've had some requests, though, to push the choosing of the Swanky Stamper forward, to allow for those playing the end of the month challenges more time. I'm still considering that option, so this month, I thought I would try it out. So without any further ado, The Swanky Stamper of the Month is Wendy McGaffey.


Wendy Mcgaffey — Swanky Stamper for September

As a designer, I so appreciate the cleverness of a good design. Perfectly chosen paper. A well placed flower. Strong concept. Great colors. All work together to make a terrific design. Like this card by Wendy Mcgaffey. It has all of the things I mentioned and more. This card has so much going for it, if I were Wendy, I would be keeping it.
 

We had a lot of really fantastic players in the technique challenges. Like this one by Cindy Major. LOVE her use of patterns and textures. There is a lot going on in this card, but Cindy makes it all work beautifully.

This pretty, scrappy card by Cheryl Lea is another beauty. Delicate coloring. Wonderful textures, just an all-around pretty card, using our Commemorating You set and Stamp Trio CutUps Die


And Emma H. created this elegantly stunning card. White on white with just a pop of color! So sophisticated.

We had so many outstanding cards this past month. It was really hard to choose only one winner. But, congrats, Wendy! Great Job!

Amy's scrappy card is just so darling. I've always wanted to do a scrappy card, and Amy's just might make me try one.
