Happy 1st Birthday to The Craft's Meow !!!

The Day has finally arrived  !!!

The new release previews that we have been sharing for the past four days

can now be yours !!!  That's right it's.....

New Release Blog Hop Day

We are super excited because toDAY is the actual birthday

of when TCM began, so it's truly a happy day!

To celebrate that, you will find our banner ad over on SCS

running throughout the day...hope you'll let us know you

spotted it...just leave us a note on our FB page!

If you have arrived at my blog from our talented

Guest Designer  

Deborah Nolan's Blog

then you are in the right place!

If not, start back at the beginning at the

TCM Blog

 and get started there because

when you do, you could win big!  All 5 stamp sets !!!

More on that in a sec.

I struggle so much to photograph white on white, but I hope you get the idea.

I combined three stamp sets to create this Clean & Simple Card.

I used 'Beautiful Spring', 'Thanks Bee to Thee' & 'Cherished'.

I paper-pieced my sweet little bee and used a variety of inks from

A Muse Studio for the rest. 

I know you will see all the sets on the TCM Blog/Website, so I am going

to show you a very special one here...

This set is 'Thanks Bee to Thee' designed by the lovely

Nina B Designs for TCM and for a limited time is only available

as a gift with a purchase of $50 or more.

I used this set in my post from yesterday as well...

you can check it out here

So here is how you can win....

Visit each designer's blog on the hop, leave a little love

{there's only 16 total}

and you have until 9:00pm PDT, Friday March 23rd to do so.

Don't forget...we have challenges still going on all week

and you can find those and the details over on the TCM blog.

One of the challenges will give someone a

Guest Design Spot with TCM.

They are all on sale today!!!

Don't wait!

Look forward to your comment and I will keep my fingers

crossed that YOU are a winner!

The next stop on the hop is my friend and our
newest stamp illustrator
