There She Goes Release Week | Day Three


Snow Buddies, the new set from Melyssa, has SO many possible ways to be used; we can’t even begin to tell you how excited we are about it! With a whopping 57 stamps, you can build your own snowman, use one provided, or a little of both. It’s the easiest way to build a snowman, and you don’t even have to get cold to do it. ;)

Snow Buddies is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 57 stamps and will sell for $24.00.

What’s a snowman, without a SUPER cute and TOTALLY clever sentiment to go with it…well, we don’t want to know! The Snowman Sentiments set has 9 fabulous sentiments to coordinate with your Snowbuddies set, or any holiday set you want!

Snowman Sentiments is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 9 stamps and will sell for $9.00.

I adore snowmen! This set is amazing for those of you that can't get enough of snowmen. I really love how my card came out. Thanks to my friend Silke Ledlow, I asked her how she got such deep grooves when she embosses lines in her card. She let me know instead of using a bone folder she uses a stylus. What an amazing difference. I think this will become my Christmas card this year. I just love how adorable this snow - person came out! However, I think I'll replace the green polka dots with pink polka dots. I'm not a traditional Christmas color person.

There She Goes Release Week | Day Two


I told you yesterday that you had to wait until today to see WHY the new Holiday Cheer set was so versatile…well, wait no more! Not only is it a set that stands alone, the SUPER cute images were designed to fit into today’s set, Snow Globe! Along with a matching die, Torico has really out done herself!!

Snow Globe and Die is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 4 stamps and will sell for $29.00.

Although I completely love yesterday's set...I wanted to show just how versatile this snow globe set is. I used the dog from Snowy Days. I also have another almost complete using the penguins from Penguin Pals. How perfect is this snow globe? The globe has a die cut so that one doesn't have to cut it out, but I cleaned my craft room and I cleaned it too good because I cannot find my dies! I'm so glad I am off for the next 5 days...I need a rest!

Here is what you need to do-visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go.

There She Goes Release Week | Day One


Torico is at it again, bringing us another SUPER cute holiday set to love and adore, and this one has a twist…but you will have to wait until tomorrow to see WHAT the twist is!! Just take it from me, this set is so versatile, you will be turning to it again and again for all your holiday needs! With four ADORABLE scenes, and four fabulous sentiments, you are sure to fall in love.

Holiday Cheer is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 8 stamps and will sell for $15.00.

I am totally in love with this set. It is just too adorable. You will love all the images. I selected this darling little girl. I had a great time coloring her up and putting together my card. I wish you could see the sparkle that I put into the card. I have to admit that when I put the puff paint on the hat I had never used it before. I waited and waited and nothing happened. Duh!! You need to heat it. Oh I had fun.

There She Goes (Again)!

Hello Friends,

I have been so overwhelmed with "life" - been busy with work and planning so that my students will be successful. I let go of crafting, because lesson planning takes quite a bit of time. I'm not complaining, but I really need to find a balance. I say this all the time, but I never get there.

I was so happy to sit at my craft table last night. I decided to make a CAS card - it still took me two hours. I think I hem and haw too much over the paper. Or maybe it's I get obsessed looking at the paper!!

TSG is having a sale until the 23rd...15% off. Time to stock up! This week is There She Goes (Again)!  week. We've been highlighting the following sets all week...


I chose to use Stick Together. I love snowflakes and this mini set is just so perfect. I hope you like what I have put together.


I hope you'll stop by the TSG blog and check out the Trendsetter's cards using the three sets. Be sure to head to the store and get some of stamp sets you've been wanting. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!
Theresa
