Swanky Stamper of the Month

Chris V — Swanky Stamper for November

What I love about this card is that there is so much to look at. Using Leigh's Sketch as a basis for her design, Chris went to town. Scallops here, glitter there. Snowflakes, distressing and a bit of frivolous fluff for Sprinkle's outfit just make this card a jaw-dropper.

Thanksgiving Hop

Welcome to the TCP Tuesday Blog Hop! If you came from Jen's Blog then you have reached the end of the Blog Hop.

If you haven't visited all the other "Hoppers", you really must. The Cat Pack and the Swanky Stampers have really outdone themselves, I must say. I feel like a proud mama when I see all the wonderful things the gals make.


So start at the wonderfully inspirational Toni, the Hostess with the Mostess. She has picked this super cute photo for this week's inspiration challenge. It feels like Fall, no? With a contemporary feel, with all that metal. Makes me think of pie tins. And that always makes me think of pies, pies and more pies. Pumpkin, cherry, apple, pecan. I LOVVVEEE me some PIE!

Okay. So I've got pie on the brain. And I went a little crazy with the masking. I'm using our brand new Alphabet, Babydoll that is coming out this Tuesday and our new Thanksgiving set, "Gobble It Up". YUMMMO!

You can WIN your very own Babydoll set AND Gobble It Up set just by leaving a message in the comment section of each of the "Hoppers" blogs.

I'll pick a winner and post it this Friday.

Check out the lovely and talented, Ana. She is feeding into the pie addiction, as well.

Don't forget to play along with our inspiration challenge to be eligible for Swanky Stamper of the month by adding your own design to the guestbook at the bottom of the post.

Swanky Stamper of the Month

Meredith — Swanky Stamper for September

Love, love, loves this super cute card by Meredith. There is nothing not to love. From the dancing skellies, to the fun, fun fence, to the dotted ribbon, to the big fat puffy heart pin, to the stitching, right down to the perfect little kitty. Add a masterful use of the colors in the TCP Tuesday Color Challenge and this card couldn't be anything but a winner.

Meredith — Swanky Stamper for October

P.S. Sorry it has taken so long to get this posted, but I was out of town and I never can seem to get connected to the internet.

And we have a winner!

And the winner is Lisa Petrella! Kim from My Favorite Things picked the random number that was Lisa and so a winner was born.

Lisa wins the Kitty Kat Pat featuring the Fright Night Clearly Swanky Set and our Hocus Pocus Buttons and Glitzy.

Congrats Lisa. Email me with your address.
