Beautiful Spring with The Craft's Meow


The day is finally here  !!!


The designers at The Craft's Meow have been so looking forward
to this week of new release previews.
It's extra special because TCM is celebrating our
first birthday!

Over the next four days, we will share previews of 1-2 sets
each day and to make it extra fun, we will have a challenge available
for you to participate in so you can join the celebration
and have a chance to win prizes & a possible
GUEST DESIGN spot with TCM!
 For all the details, check out the TCM Blog.

Here is our first challenge....


A beautiful sketch challenge by our creative
Amy Tsuruta.


The first two sets we are previewing were designed by the very talented
Nina Brackett of Nina B Designs for TCM.
'Beautiful Spring' & 'Mother & Father' are perfect for this time of the year.

For this card, I stamped a base with a gorgeous floral image from the
'Beautiful Spring' set in Latte & French Roast ink by A Muse Studio.
All A Muse Studio inks are available directly to your door from
my web store HERE
They are the perfect shade to match these papers from Echo Park.
I used the Fancy Tags Two & Standard Circle dies from Spellbinders
to create the focal points.  How beautiful is that butterfly...also from
the same stamp set.  I adore Nestabling by Want2Scrap and thought
it was the perfect embellishment for the sentiment.

I love the 'vintage-style' florals of this paper and hope it's ok
to share it with the folks over at CARDS/Create for their
'Vintage Florals' Challenge.


 How would you like a chance to win one of these stamp sets before they
go on sale next week?  All you need to do is visit our designer's blogs and
make sure to leave a comment over on The Craft's Meow blog.
You'll have until 9pm PDT each day to leave your comment and the winners
will be announced the following day along with the next preview & challenge.

We would love for you to play along with each challenge during our
1st Birthday Bash...all the details are on the TCM Blog.

I'd love to hear from you....please leave a note & make sure you leave
a contact address so I can say hello back.

Enjoy the bash!!!
