'Sew' Fun with The Craft's Meow

It's day #2 of the January New Release Previews from

Make sure you stop by the TCM blog, because we are revealing

new sets each day.  Our design team is simply...fabulous

and I know you'll be inspired.

This month, TCM welcomes

Jennifer Ingle

as our Guest Designer.

Her design work is, well ... AWESOME!

Today's set is called 

'Crafty Shelf'

designed by NinaB Designs for TCM.

Whenever I find stamps with sewing elements, it makes me

think of my grandma.  She taught herself to sew and I was

the beneficiary as I had the most 'one of a kind' Barbie wardrobe on the planet!

I created this card using fun, bright paper from My Mind's Eye

and kept it simple.

How would you like a chance to win this set ?

All you have to do is stop by the TCM blog and leave a note

to say you stopped by for a visit.

Each day of the previews will bring another set up for grabs.

You have until 9pm PST, January 18th to comment to be eligible.

I'll be back tomorrow with another fabby preview.

Don't forget, a brand new color challenge is up and running over at

See you soon ! ! !

This is a chilly scene indeed!

'Tree Traditions' is the final new release this

week and oh what fun!

I decided to make a cut-out card using these

'chilly trees'.  I created the circular cut out

with my Standard circle die from Spellbinders.

It was a perfect fit for the scene.

I spent some time with a handful of Copics

and this was the result...

 I then created some texture with Flower Soft

and Crystal Stickles.
