CPS 5th Anniversary Day 8 with Lori Craig and The Cat's Pajama's

Welcome to Day 8 of the CPS 5th Anniversary Celebration.


I'm Lori Craig, and I'm so excited to be sharing The Cat's Pajamas with you today.
I have been stamping and making cards for over 10 years, and I'm one of the newest contributors at CPS. I came on board last summer. It's a great fit for me because designing with a sketch leaves a lot of room for artistic interpretation and it makes me happy.

I'm a full-time mom with a full-time job so cardmaking and coloring is therapy for me. I live in Missouri with my husband and two darling daughters. When I'm not shuffling my cherubs to piano lessons, girl scouts or basketball games, I am the advertising manager for Splitcoaststampers. I also teach Copic Certification classes for coloring enthusiasts and store owners/employees across the country several times per year.

Enough about me...here's my sketch for you to tackle today. I hope you enjoy the clean lines!

I chose CPS #102 - Originally aired February 8, 2009.
Here's my take:


Adore ~ The Cat's Pajamas

Stamps: Feelin' Cupidy and Build-a-Bingo - The Cat's Pajamas
Cardstock: Choice Cream - Taylored Expressions
and Sunshine - My Mind's Eye Lost & Found
Ink: Rich Cocoa Memento - Tsukineko
Accs: Copic Markers (YR30, YR31, W0, W1, Roo, Ro1)
Heart Trio Dies - The Cat's Pajamas


This sketch is one of the two being sponsored by The Cat’s Pajamas.
You can also find out more on Facebook and their blog.



To be entered for a chance to win the anniversary prize from The Cat’s Pajamas simply post a direct link to your newly created card using this sketch in the Mr Linky section at the end of this post. (Cards not created specifically for the anniversary celebration will be disqualified). Each sponsor will be sponsoring two days of sketches so that’s at least two chances to win!

Now, of course you won’t want to stop with just this one sketch! Sketches will be posted on the CPS blog from Sunday January 29 thru Sunday February 12 for a total of 15 sketches. All readers who complete all 15 sketches featured throughout our Anniversary celebration will also be entered into the grand prize drawing! This prize pack includes a prize from all of our CPS Anniversary sponsors (listed below)


Deadline for entry in both the individual and grand prize drawings is midnight Saturday February 18. Winners will be verified and be announced on Friday February 24, 2012 on both the blog and CPS Fan page on Facebook.

Love the bingo card - too cute!

Another fun sketch. I deviated and did a shamrock instead of the heart to go with my theme. I used one of my own digis that I posted on my blog this week.
