TCP April Release Day Blog Hop



It's Release Day at The Cat's Pajamas -- all of the stamps and dies we've been peeking for the past week are now available in The Cat's Pajamas store. We're celebrating the release with a Blog Hop. Did you come here from the talented Carole Burrage? If not, then scoot over to Julie to start the hop and get all caught up.



I'm featuring the new Window CutUps, along with a sentiment from Bloom. The Window CutUps set includes the window frame, as well as four small dies that fit within the window panes, one of them being the flower pot. I cut two flower pots from cork and topped them with layered flowers that I die-cut using the Flower Buttons CutUps. To make the window valance, I used one of the Circus Panels CutUps. I just trimmed down an ivory die-cut to make the rod, then trimmed down three pink plaid die-cuts for the valance portion.



This is also my sample for a brand-new TCPTuesday Challenge, #207. This week, Julie brings us a technique challenge, which is to use handmade flowers in your creation. Play along for your chance to win some TCP! Details in the TCP Forum on SCS.

Be sure to continue along the hop. Your next stop is my uber-talented friend, Jen del Muro!

Enjoy the hop!
