Happy Thanksgiving, friends! {at least to those of you in the U.S.} I hope you have a day filled with family, friends, food & fun. Football, too, if that's your thing. Me? I don't plan on watching football if I can at all avoid it. Instead, I'll be on the road for about 5 hours total, stopping by Sean's aunt's house for about an hour and a half for lunch. Carter will be leaving from the lunch with his grandparents to spend the weekend with them. My goal for the weekend is to get as much decorating as possible done while he is gone. It'll be fun to see the look on his face when he gets home to a festive wonderland...
Enough about me. Sneaky Peek Week continues, feauturing the upcoming new releases from the swankiest company in all of stamping, The Cat's Pajamas. Are you ready to see today's Sneaky Peek set? If - as Lyle Lovett sings - you go for Penguins, you're going to love BEST FISHES. Here's a little something I put together featuring BEST FISHES, using the fabulous new ANYWHERE RIBBON SLIDE CutUps die, for a satin-y detail along the top:
I do love that sentiment, don't you? (And - fun fact to know and tell - 'crappie' rhymes with 'hoppy,' not 'happy.') I LOVE crappie - it's really a delicious little fishie.
In addition to the new Anywhere Ribbon Slide, my card showcases the Big Scallop and Circus Panels CutUps dies. I also used Spellbinders' 2011 Heirloom Ornament Nestabilities for the image panel. The patterned paper is from Echo Park 6"x6" pads (Holly Jolly Christmas & Season's Greetings).
Go to Alma's blog for direct links to all of the Cat Pack-er's showing Sneaky Peeks of Best Fishes. And thanks for stopping by to visit me today. On a day in which we count our blessings, you are one of mine.
yes it does rhyme with hoppy but for SOME people... the CRAPPY is more fitting!!!! ;)
