To get you all started, here's a little inspiration from the Design Team:





Sara's card features the adorable Chip


Lola's card shows the lovely Sooki Ooblis



Deanette's card has the adorable Lazy Day



Here's a super cute creation by Audrey using Suzie

So play along this week and show us some VELLUM!! You have until Thursday, July 1 at Midnight to submit your entry.


Don't forget to take a look at the rest of the DT for more TCC goodness!



If you're uploading your creation to an online gallery or other such site, please be sure to tag it with TCC so we can find it! (TCCFF23)


Your prize this week is Hillary Hippo and Tag , a $5 Gift Certificate from The Cafe Store as well as a blog badge for you to display! Also, if you join us at CDAC, you can enter there for extra chances to win extra prizes!!!

Feature Friday Challenge #21 Winner!

Hey bloggers!  It’s time to announce the winner for our Father’s Day/Embossing Challenge!

First off, I have to say that random.org picked #1, which was Barb Chick and boy was her card fantastic, however, I had a problem because it didn’t fit our challenge… it may, but it said “Happy Birthday” and it was just so beautiful, I’m not sure if it was for a guy?  So, Barb, if you’re reading, we so sorry, but we read your post and it never mentioned a male or Father’s Day.

Random.org picked #3 next, which is

Irit, who entered with this amazing layout… (sorry Irit, for some reason, we’re missing part of our blog and so I’ll link to you later when we find it! LOL)

TCCFF21Winner

You have won The Dock and Father’s Day Hatchling images from The Cafe Store, as well as a $5 Gift Certificate!  Contact us for your prize and we’ll get it out as soon as possible.  Also, don’t forget, your name will go into our draw at the end of the month, to win a custom TCC digi stamp image!!!  All, participants in our challenges are entered for that matter.

Congrats and Fink will be along soon with this weeks’ challenge, sorry we’re a bit late… had a tad mix up here at TCC (keeps life interesting I guess?!).

Take care, happy crafting!

New Digital Stamp Release Blog Hop!

Hey bloggers, we’re back with another blog hop to celebrate our June New Releases… (Do you get tired of blog hops or do you like being able to see all the new digi stamps and inspiration?)

Well, I’m going to have to make this fairly short and sweet since my little guy has decided to pick now to fuss in bed… ack!

This is your last stop on the blog hop and you should have arrived here from Fink’s site. If you didn’t you must’ve either just started with us or lost track of where you were (like I often do in blogville!)… at which point, you should just head over to the START and find your way.

Hopefully, you found LOTS of great stuff that inspired you to make wonderful creations (and tell us when you do!).

Be sure that you commented on all our DT Blogs along the way in order to have a chance to win 4 randomly chosen New Release images as well as a $5 Gift Certificate to The Cafe Store.

Also, be sure to join us by making a creation using a TCC digital stamp image and linking to our Linky Tool in order to have a chance at being Guest Designer for July! If you don’t have any TCC digis that’s a shame, but you’re in luck since we’ve got a bunch in the Freebie section of our Store, as well as a new one available until next Friday only (there are sentiments perfect for Father’s Day in the package at the store too!). Click image to go to Freebie.

Well, I sincerely hope that you don’t mind, but I think I’ll have to be back in the morning with our winner for our Custom Image… couldn’t make the draw until after 10pm so that all players could be included and well, my little guy is not very cooperative at the moment. Please forgive me!!! Actually, it will be better that way I think so that we can explain a bit about what we’ll do for the winner… hmmm, things have a way of working out like they’re supposed to, don’t they (sometimes anyway!).

Oh, and don’t forget about the discount code, good for 25% off your entire order (good until next Friday, June 11th at midnight – well, Saturday June 12 technically!). The code is "Summer" (case sensitive) - yeah, I know, it's not summer yet, but it sure was feeling like it lately!

Happy hopping!

Kendra :)
