The Cat's Pajamas June Release!

Summer time involves more outdoorsy things to do, and less time in the craft room … until I received these darlings from The Cat's Pajamas!   It's June Hop time! and you should have arrived here from Brenda's blog, but you can also find the Cat Pack Hop list here, where Alma starts all the fun!

My husband and I are preparing for another road trip, and our trip-planning influenced my cards for this release!

Okay... this dude has had enough swimming and just wants a little lay down in the sand … he's a man of few needs, and is Done Adulting!


 
 
Now, I don't know about you, but we do love a road trip … even the detours can be fun... you know what else is fun?  These new Big Little Alphas - I love having the ability to use my words!
 


 
 
Speaking of detours... this guy's got plenty of pep in his Pogo!
 

 
Our new Going Round, & Round dies are great for creating spinner cards … or planets!
 
 
It's now my pleasure to send you on your way... you'll love what Deborah has in store for you … and also all the other new goodies offered in the TCP store!  Here's a peek at a few that I'll be using again later this week …
 


 This next fun set is the 'free with qualified purchase' set
for June, and is full of fun!
 
 
Thanks for hanging out with me today!

Well don't these adorable cards make me smile?!! I wish it was as easy as laying on the beach to be done with adulting? lol Parenting is a hard job as we both know! But I love that little guy, relaxing on the beach and not thinking about adulting. So cute! What a cute travel card! I am loving those die letters and the background. So fun! And talking about fun, love the penguin pogoing around the planets! Talk about a fun detour! Great pattern paper of the stars and love the planet. Have a wonderful road trip Michele, I know all your detours will be fun ones! Hugs, Brenda

Adorable cards with perfect sentiments! I think I am done adulting for the week ..... definitely time for a detour off the beaten path! A 90degree heat wave approaching.....too hot for this northerner.....so I see lakeside lounging and lemonade in my future!

"Done Adulting"...I'm so in to that. What could be better than lying on a beach or finding new places by "Embracing the Detour". Possibly popping into your blog and discovering that you've already discovered the pleasures of real life. Oh yeah, by the way, and transferring it to your awesome cards. Have a blast on you trip.

Alma de la Rosa said...

Wow! So much goodness in your post! I keep thinking, "I love this one the most" until I see your next card. Then, I love that one the most

Barb Ghig said...

Oh my gosh, you've done an amazing job with your new goodies, Michele! I'm loving the new alphas and the fun scenes you created with the adorable penguins in this release...especially the one who is 'Done Adulting'...too funny :) Thanks so much for inspiring us to check it out!

Cat Craig said...

How fun are these images and sentiments? Done adulting...love.

lostinpaper said...

ooh, another trip how exciting! We are having a rest week this week and heading off again at the weekend. Looks like I could use these as my inspiration too!

Lisa Elton said...

Oh yes, I'm with him...I'm done adulting for awhile LOL!! These are super duper cute Michele. And might I say that any detour leading me to your house would be so worth the embrace ;)

Cindy Holmes said...

FANTASTIC cards! So many cute and clever ideas for such fun cards! I really enjoy the uniqueness of each of them!

Papercraft Boutique said...

You're a great story teller, Michele! I was enjoy reading your blog and looking at the sweet and fun cards, and before I knew it I came to your last line "Thanks for hanging out with me today!" It was like a fun water slide. :-)
Have a fantastic road trip, my friend!

Your relaxing penguin is so adorable! Will you be hitting the beach anywhere? Love every one of your adorable designs. Hope you have many fun adventures ahead!

Anita in France said...

What a great trip this little penguin is having, Michele ... chilling on the beach, detours to who knows where (I just know he's hidden somewhere in that fabulous forest of words!)and a little energetic pogo-ing ... if yours and Tom's next adventure turns out to be anything like it, you'll have such a fun, splendid time! A delicious trio of cards! Hugs, Anita :)

Aileen said...

Looks like that penguin had a really good time, I wondered if theres a photo of him nursing a headache after a few too many???? Great cards, could make a series to send to a close friend a few days a part (like the group you went of crafting with if any of you drannnnnnk to much like party animalsss) so cute.
