Today's official Sneaky Peek set of the day: A WHALE OF A TIME
Go visit Amy, Jen, and Sony to take a look, make a comment, and be eligible to win all eight of the new releases!
Today's Hipster Hostess with the Mostest is my aforementioned good friend Amy, and as everyone knows, that gal has her finger on the pulse of all that's hip & trendy in the paper crafting universe. It was just a matter of time before she gave us the supply challenge to get all tied up in TWINE!
So, here's my card using the niftiest twine ever: TCP's Divine Twine. Also nifty? The fact that I'm giving you an early lookie-loo at one of the sets being released next week -- Forget About the Cake!
I used Lemon Divine Twine to hand stitch around the background layer border, and to wrap up a few felt birthday candles. Mr. Bunny was paper-pieced using TCP's new wood paper in White Birch (this is the greatest wood paper, too -- much thinner than the stuff I've used before, so it's easier to cut and paper-piece with).
And since you're so nice to come and visit me today, I'm going to let a couple more cats out of the bag:
1. TCP is releasing its own line of dies: Cut-Ups! Naturally, they are to die for! The candle flames on my felt candles were created using the petal section of the Flower Buttons die.
2. Did I mention felt? TCP is releasing its own felt collections! All sorts of yummy colors that cut like a dream. The candles and flames were cut from shades of the Orange You Glad, Seeing Red, Singing the Blues and Green with Envy collections. (Gotta love those names.)
Now, I know your mind is totally blown by the thought of all these goodies coming down the pike, but do try to collect your wits enough to visit the other members of The Cat Pack, all of whom are participating in today's challenge (and using the new sets). Go visit Amy for all of the details about getting knotty with us and how you can win FAME AND FORTUNE in the process.
Gotta skeedaddle for now, but I'll be back tomorrow with my own official Sneaky Peek to show you! Later, gators!

Even without the opportunity to win those adorable offerings from TCP via comments; (which is a tremendous boon) I'd look at, and read, your blog, just for the sheer entertainment value! You totally brighten my day!
