TCPTUES Retro Style!!

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

Hi there guys and gals---  I am recovering wonderfully from a triple blend of sicknesses -- bronchitis, sinus infection, and ear infection... but after my antibiotics finally hit, I'm back to stamping, laundry, and picking up my disaster of a house after being knocked out for WAY too many days. There should be a law against mom's getting any sort of sickness... it really shuts down the freeway (or household in this case), but you know what I mean. Do you have any clue how much laundry a family of 5 accumulates if you ignore it for over a week--- a whole heck of a lot, let me tell you!!

So anyway-- we are here, it's Tuesday, and I have a Retro TCP Tuesday card to share--- we had a little break in our challenge schedule, so we decided to pull from any old challenge we wanted and I used TCPTUES118 - which was a divine twine challenge. Since I LURVE ME some divine twine... I got out an old favorite TCP set (to keep in the true "retro" spirit... and used Beans, Bunnies & Peeps-- Oh my!!)



The look on this bunnies face still cracks me up every time I look at it... and I knew I had some carrot paper hidden away, which shockingly only took my about 3 minutes to locate (if you knew how I store my paper, you would be WAY impressed with that!

I handcut the carrot shape in orange, ran it through with a polka dot embossing folder and then tied some divine twine for the carrot "greens". 

As a reminder-- there are prizes and fun for playing along in our challenges, so stop by the Dancing In Pajamas blog to load up your challenge card and also remember that you can now get divine twine in {littles}--- so now there is no excuse for not having EVERY single color!! :)

This is sooo stinkin' cute!!! I love it! So glad you are on the mend and yes.. I also have a family of five so I know exactly what you mean about the housework after being ill. Almost makes you want to climb back in bed and pull the covers over your head!!

LOVE this! Even my sister, who isn't crafty, said "so fancy!" when I showed this to her. :)

This is just brilliant, Tori! Love your coloring, your inking, that big carrot with twine fringe, the orange stitching... EVERYTHING! I'm so happy your part of the pack because you ROCK!!! And I'm so glad you're feeling better. Mama takes care of everyone when they're sick, but who takes care of Mama?!?! :)
