My card today features loads of the new "Life is a Carnival" set to create this wonderful scene for little Summer. That is what I love about these new TCM stamps, not only do they make lovely cards all on there own but they are also perfectly sized and fantastic for including with different character stamps. They make it so easy to tell a story on my card, which you know I love to do!
At first I was going to give Summer the stacked ice cream cone from the set but once I spotted that blue ribbon I knew she would have definitely had the prize pig at the fair and now she is running all around the fair grounds showing off that first place ribbon. Who knows, maybe it will even get her a free ride on the ferris wheel or roller coaster back there! ;)

Alrighty, time for me to send you on your way and off to the fabulous Debbie Pamment's blog! If you ever get lost along the way just head on back to the TCM blog for the complete list of hoppers with links. :)
