TCP July Blog Hop and TCP Tuesday Challenge

Welcome to The Cat's Pajamas July new release blog hop!  The new stamp sets and cutups are available in the TCP store  right now.  You should have arrived here from Christine's blog, the first stop of the hop.

In addition to the new release, we are also kicking off a new challenge...How does your garden grow?

My garden grows with lots of flowers from the new Big Blooms stamp set.   The set is doing double duty, creating a background and floral stems.

The dark blue flowers were stamped first along with the sentiment and then the background was stamped.  The hydrangea stamps are large enough to create a subtle background.  

So how does your garden grow?  What will you stamp?

Here are the challenge details:

1. Every Release Tuesday a new challenge will be posted on The Cat’s Pajamas blog and our Facebook page.
2. If you want to play along you just upload your design to The Cat’s Pajamas blog page using the InLinkz button by, 11:55 EDT the day before the next challenge.
3. You are not required to use a Cat’s Pajamas stamp or die but if you have them we would love to see them.
4. On the day after the challenge ends, the winner will be chosen from the previous challenge and will receive a Cat Cash Voucher for $50

Hop along to see how the rest of the team's garden grows! Brenda's blog is up next!
