{Welcome Emma Grace} TCP Tuesday 120

I don't know if you've heard already but my dear SFYTT Sister Megan Lock gave birth to her baby girl last week. Her name is Emma Grace and I hear that Mom and Baby are doing great...sooo lucky for me Toni picked this great inspirational photo for her TCP Tuesday challenge this week which was truly just perfect for my Welcome Baby card I wanted to make for Megan. :)

A few deets on my card here:

These darling hippos and the sentiment are from the newly released And Baby Makes... set by the Cat's Pajamas. I stamped my hippos twice, cut out just the heads of one stamped image and propped it up with pop-up dots on the second fully stamped image to give it some dimension. I also added some Crystal Effects to my hippos for some overall shine.
The darling flowers and buttons are made using the brand new Cat's Pajamas' Dies. Oh and the cute bow is made using Divine Twine, another awesome TCP product.

The papers I used are all from the Duck in a Row collection by October Afternoon and the cute measuring tape ribbon is made by My Little Yellow Bicycle.

Wanna play with us?
Here are all the details if you'd like to play along:

1. Each a week one of The Cat Pack will host a challenge.
2. The challenges will vary {stamp, technique, color, theme, sketch, etc.}
3. You will have until the end of the month to complete the challenge.
4. Play along with us and add your own design to your Splitcoast Gallery using keywords TCPTues120 or to your blog and then use the Inlinkz button at the bottom of the post to add your design to this page. Post your design using the Inlink Button at the bottom of this post. Your design must be linked and visible to Alma's blog post to be considered.
5. TCP stamps are not required, but of course, highly encouraged. {Unless it is a challenge calling for a specific stamp}
6. There will be one winner each month. They will be deemed that month’s Swankiest Stamper and get $25 in Cat’s Cash {money to spend on the TCP site!}.
7. Only designs posted to Alma's blog post will be considered for the Swanky Stamper.
8. The newly crowned Swanky Stamper will be announced on the First of the Month and have his/her winning entry posted on The Cat’s Pajamas website where he/she will reign for the entire month.


thanks so much for stopping by.
