Meowy excited...

I've been as excited as a cat with a new scratching post filled with catnip the past couple of weeks, just BURSTING at the whiskers to tell you the news... and today is the day.  You'll see a new baby face over at the swankiest place on the web --- The Cat's Pajama's!! Yep, that's a mini-Tori over there in the left column! :)  I think I was maybe 3??  And wow, do I have to tell you how much fun I had finding a baby picture of me... I quickly realized that my daughter looks a lot more like me than I thought!! 

I am seriously over the moon to be joining The Cat Pack... so when Alma emailed me asking if I'd be interested, I couldn't type up my response fast enough.  I ADORE products from TCP... you've seen me rave about the divine twine, I love all of the retro-cool dies, the stamps just get cuter and cuter and it's an amazing line-up of talent that I feel blessed to be joining--- many friends from past and current teams and some incredible new friends for me as well... so it's a Grand Slam win for me! 

As my first official Cat-Pack TCP TUESDAY card... I thought I'd start with a set that covers any and every occasion you can think of.... A BEARY GOOD YEAR.  This weeks challenge from Jen, our Hipster Hostess with the Mostest, was an inspiration challenge... and it happens to feature cake (LOVE cake), brown and blue (LOVE those colors together --- it happens to be the color of my favorite room in my basement) and also a can of Sprinkles Cupcake mix in the same colors... Um... me and Sprinkles Cupcakes have a love+love relationship--- thankfully for my waist, the nearest one is over 4 hours away!

So here is my layered, button, turquoise and brown inspired card... I absolutely  love this set.  It's not one of the newest one's at TCP, but if you don't have a set from The Cat's Pajama's (and if you don't -- what's wrong with you!?!) :)  --- but if you don't, then this is the one to start with...  not just because PJ is the cutest bear this side of the Mississippi, but it's so versatile and covers every occasion.  One of my favorite things with clear stamps, is that you can align the accessories so easily, no guessing and no cutting... perfect for my lazy days when I just want to have fun and get right to the fun part--- COLORING!!

I used some of the aqua divine twine in the TCP Button Cut-Ups which mimics the dots all over the cake and then I used the apron border die along the top and bottom to add to my layered cake-like background.

Alright groovy peeps--- Thanks for sharing in my swingin' good news today and be sure to pop by the blog announcement and TCP Tuesday Challenge over at Alma's blog - DANCING IN PAJAMAS.

Oh and here are a few favorites from past TCP cards (I can't wait to get my paws on all of the new releases!!)
