Pick of the Litter Week #2

Miss Meowy · 02-21-2011, 11:06 AM

You like it. You really, really like it. The Pick of the Litter, that is.
We've had so many great comments about our NEW Weekday feature, that we just have to keep going.

Our second week of The Pick of the Litter kicks off with this great card by Julee Tilman. You know Julee, the most awesome designer and owner of Verve Stamps? We're so excited and honored that she picked It had to be Mew to stamp out a card for her hubbie, Mark.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Julee is AWESOME!

Love the elegance of the papers/ribbon/colours combined with a cute-sy image! Nice mix

TruCarMa · 02-21-2011, 01:17 PM

Oh, Julee -- this is truly fabulous! Love Sprinkle's emerald collar! So very swanky, and she's worth it!

Vervegirl · 02-22-2011, 09:18 AM

Oh my word. I think even my toes are blushing.

You're toooooooo kind, Alma! Thanks for the shout out!

Miss Meowy · 02-22-2011, 11:07 AM

Ready for our Tuesday Pick of the Litter?

What can I say? I just LOVE Valentine's Day. It's a day when we are allowed to tell people we love them. I think Valentine's Day should be every day!

And I just LOVE this card by Tracy Clemente. So happy and fun with the Penguin from our Got Love set. He just screams "Pick Me! Pick Me!" So I did.

scrapgirrl · 02-22-2011, 02:11 PM

**BLUSH** Hey, that's me!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Alma. It's easy to make a good card with these AWESOME images. Can't wait to see what you do next!!!

{{Hugs}}

jmasse · 02-22-2011, 03:01 PM

Oh wow both of the cards are totally wonderful!!

I love the monochromatic feel of Julee's with a splash of color!!

And Tracy's cut out heart balloons are fun fun!! Great picks!!

cveneruso · 02-22-2011, 03:46 PM

TruCarMa · 02-23-2011, 12:31 AM

Super cute, Tracy! Love that lil border of hearts along the bottom!

cindy_canada · 02-23-2011, 06:10 AM

Wow, again, what a treat for the eye this week! Love the stitched heart border! The TCP fans are talented stampers!!! Could it be because it has an awesome DT to draw inspiration and learn from?

Congrats to the featured stampers - your work is gorgeous!

Miss Meowy · 02-23-2011, 10:46 AM

Looking at all the cards and projects you've posted we are constantly surprised and astonished. Many make my heart beat just a little faster.

Like this one from Jenny Peterson. Lots of fun paper and embellies. She even tucked a wave in there using our CutUps die. But don't let all that yummy goodness distract you.

Take a good long look at how Jenny colored this little gal from our Spring Rain set. And then take a look at that puddle. Yuppers, that's a reflection you see in that puddle.

And if that didn't get your heart beating faster, take a look at the inside. Love that she used the Button CutUps to cut her cork and paper. Gives all the texture without all the weight of real buttons.

leigh obrien · 02-23-2011, 11:00 AM

OMG...these are purrr-fect picks, Alma. Those are some really awesome cards. I almost squealed out loud at all of those button CutUps on Jenny's card...wooohooooooo!

leigh obrien · 02-23-2011, 11:01 AM

Just noticed Jenny's puddle too. WHAT THE HECK!? THAT is AMAZING!

scrapgirrl · 02-23-2011, 11:14 AM

Holy Batmoblie!!! Jenny is a rockstar I tell you. I am always in awe of what she creates. CONGRATULATIONS Jenny girl!!! You are pretty Swanky!

jennypete · 02-23-2011, 03:35 PM

Awwww...thanks everyone!! I love you cybergirls! You are better than my real-life friends

hehe!!!! I have loved every pick of the litter!!! What a fun idea!!!!!!

jmasse · 02-23-2011, 04:16 PM

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny that puddle just floors me!! Such a fun card and definitely worthy of the Pick of the Litter! Congrats!!

jennypete · 02-23-2011, 04:46 PM

Thanks Julie- it was a last minute addition

jennypete · 02-23-2011, 04:47 PM

Alma- my hubby thinks you should rename this 'Pick of the Litterbox', being that it's a Cat thing

LOL!!!!

Miss Meowy · 02-23-2011, 05:20 PM

Your hubby is a funny, funny man.

But, a lucky one, too!

Miss Meowy · 02-24-2011, 11:06 AM

Our Thursday Pick of the Litter uses an oldie but a goody!

Just love this card by Lisa Thompson. The image is from our "Give A Little" Clearly Swanky Set. It's a Christmas set, but not all the images shout CHRISTMAS! So Lisa stamped it out and created this sweet little card. LOVES it.

cindy_canada · 02-24-2011, 11:07 AM

Wow, that card has so many amazing things going for it! LOVE the reflection in the puddle, the cork for the sun, the cute buttons...

I am loving those Pick of the Litter projects! Such wonderful discoveries!

scrapgirrl · 02-24-2011, 11:44 AM

This card is swank-tastic!!!! Excellent choice for pick of the litter.

cveneruso · 02-24-2011, 05:27 PM

And if that didn't get your heart beating faster, take a look at the inside. Love that she used the Button CutUps to cut her cork and paper. Gives all the texture without all the weight of real buttons.[/QUOTE]

EEEK!!!! that's like my highest compliment. I love, love, love that inside.

I actually did squeal out loud.

jmasse · 02-24-2011, 07:34 PM

I had to come over and check out the Pick of the Litter for tonight and I'm glad I did! Lisa your card is so great! The treatment with the ribbon is so cool! Such a great card - Congrats!!

Miss Meowy · 02-24-2011, 09:38 PM

Oh Julie, I hope your foot is doing better!

jmasse · 02-25-2011, 04:53 AM

It's getting there - thanks Alma!! I have an airboot now but was told not to walk on it quite yet. But it's nice that I can take it off and bathe better now!

nancyt · 02-25-2011, 05:55 AM

I'm a bit late this week. Such beautiful picks. Congrats Julee, Tracy, Jenny and Lisa!

Miss Meowy · 02-25-2011, 11:19 AM

It's time for our last Pick of the Litter this week. So I thought I'd lead into the weekend with this cute card.

Megan Lock likes this bear. I daresay, she has a regular love affair with him. And I love that she loves him 'cause she stamps out beauties like this one using our Bear Hugs set.

She used the sketch from TCP Tuesday 144 and then just went to town. I love that this can be an any day card and not just for Valentine's Day.

scrapgirrl · 02-25-2011, 12:52 PM

I'm glad she likes him too, with a card like this. SOOOOOOO adorable. Love all of the different textures.

jmasse · 02-25-2011, 03:32 PM

Oh boy I love this card!! Love that stitching and the texture and the glitter and and and . . . CONGRATS Megan!!

jennik · 02-25-2011, 04:34 PM

woohhooo Megan!!!! Cuteness!!

jennik

nancyt · 02-25-2011, 09:51 PM

So cute Megan!

redlynny · 02-26-2011, 01:05 PM

Just found this thread!! WOW... there are some fabulous cards here!!! All of the picks are perfect!! Congrats to all!!

lisajtmo · 02-26-2011, 01:49 PM

Tracey's card is oh so cute!

lisajtmo · 02-26-2011, 01:50 PM

Love Megan's card, too! (And I am very jealous of her sewing skills, BTW!)

Thanks so much Julie! I was so thrilled my card on FB as Thursday's pick of the litter. I had to share the good news with all my FB friends.

There are so many uber talented DT members (past and present) from TCP - Susan Iles, Jen del Muro, Toni Armstrong, etc. All I can do is quote Wayne & Garth - "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!".

Thanks again ladies for making the day of this long time TCP fan.
