We've had some amazing sponsors so far this week, and today is no different. Please welcome Whimsie Doodles!
Whimsie Doodles is so excited to be sponsoring the TT Anniversary Blog Hop! In March of 2009 Melyssa Connolly, artist and owner, began turning her whimsical hand-drawn images into digital files for sale online. Whimsie Doodles' digital stamp line features images that range from cute little boys and girls, to punny stuff, and everything in-between. We enjoy sharing lots of samples on our company blog, where we also post weekly challenges and tutorials. Special Offer:
A special offer for Tuesday Throwdown Fans - use the discount code Throdown10 at the Whimsie Doodles online store and receive 10% off your next order! Code expires July 14, 2011.

Whimsie Doodles generously supplied the TT DT with two fun digital stamp sets, Shell-a-bration and Have a Seat. (Both sets may be viewed here.) I was completely taken with the comfy armchair in Have a Seat and used it to make a pair of CAS cards:
These images are perfect for paper piecing! I loved the thick lines, so forgiving for cutting. And my job of paper piecing was made even easier by using some fun dotted digital papers from the Springtime Hybrids collection by Echo Park Paper Co.
These cards are pretty versatile. I can complete the sentiment "just sittin' here" on the inside with "thinkin' of you," OR "thankin' you," OR "wishin' you a Happy Birthday," OR any number of other wishes perfect for the occasion at hand! This would also make a super quick and fun set of note cards to give as a gift. :)
In keeping with this week's anniversary Tuesday Throwdown challenge to combine any three or more past TT challenges into your project, I incorporated:
#9 Paper Piecing
#15 Ribbon with a Twist
#28 CAS (clean and simple)
#45 Polka Dots

hi Emily,

You don't have to post this, its just my way of thanking you for your regular support which I really appreciate.
I love your pieced chairs, Em! Perfectly CAS and adorable! :)
Lovely CAS cards! ;D
I love furniture stamps, in that you can decide upon their "upholstering" however you choose! You've done well picking out your 'fabrics' on these two chairs. :)
