TCP Tuesday # 4 -- Inspiration Challenge!

That's right!  And guess who's your Hipster Hostess With the Mostess this week?!  Me!!!  Yep, it's my job to give you a little inspiration to make a fabulous card. 

Today's Inspiration Challenge: make a card based on a Jimmy Buffett song!  Why a Jimmy Buffett song?  Well, for one thing, I wanted to take it easy on you.  I have lots of ... interesting ideas for future Inspiration Challenges, but I thought I'd start with something fairly tame and accessible.  And that's Jimmy -- he's easy on the ear and all of us know at least a couple of his songs by heart.
My song choice?  Why, "Cheeseburger In Paradise," of course! What song are you going to choose?  I can't wait to see!

To play along, all you need to do is make your card and link either your blog entry or SCS gallery upload by leaving a comment to this post (you have until the end of the day on Saturday, April 26th).  It's not a requirement that you use TCP stamps to play, but obviously, if you've got 'em, we'd love to see you use 'em.  All submissions will be featured on Alma's Holey Moley Monday slideshow (be sure to check out the one from yesterday that shows last week's Sketch Challenge submissions) and -- here's the best part! -- be entered to win the title of SWANKY STAMPER of the month, which comes with a fabulous prize of $25.00 in CAT CASH, good for spending at The Cat's Pajamas! Woo-hoo!

Be sure to check out what the other TCP gals have made for the challenge (look on my Design Teammate blogroll to the right, and click on those with 'TCP' after their names).  And when you upload your card to SCS, be sure to use 'TCPTUES04' as one of your keywords so we can lavish you with praise.

See you in Margaritaville!

Oh you don't even know what great timing this was. Wish I had some TCP stamps to use but I found another image and the perfect song and I didn't keep it tame. It's posted in SCS and on my blog at www.cherylhorton.typepad.com. Can't thank you enough for lightening the day - Love ya Carole, we share the same sense of kooky humor.
