There She Goes Preview | Day Three

Today is the last day of our exciting sneak peak week here at There She Goes. The hop starts off at There She Goes, but if you came to my blog from Tammy's, then you're in the right place.

Needing a fairytale moment? Let this Prince and Princess escort you to a land far away! These wonderfully illustrated images from Di Carubia were designed to create a number of different scenes that you will enjoy using time and time again.

 
Once Upon A Time is a 4x8 stamp set that includes a total of 15 of stamps and will sell for $18.


For my card I decided to challenge myself and go CAS...for me this is hard because I love designer paper. But what I really wanted to showcase are these absolutely adorable mice. They are just too cute and they needed a stage all their own. One of them reminds me of Gus Gus from Cinderella. This stamp set is just too cute!! Isn't that sentiment a girl's dream? I think this would be an adorable wedding card.

Would you like a chance to win the Once Upon A Time stamp set? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Once Upon A Time Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog and add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own Once Upon A Time stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday (May 28) during the Release Party Chat.

Next on the blog hop is the amazing Tobi!

There She Goes Preview | Day Two

Let's continue our exciting week here at There She Goes. This new set from Torico showcases her flawless and realistic illustration of these hearty flowers and is paired with several sentiments that coordinate with the image. This set is a must-have for any flower lover! The hop starts off at There She Goes, but if you came to my blog from Tammy's, then you're in the right place.


Forever is a 3x4 stamp set that includes a total of 5 of stamps and will sell for $7.


When I was growing up my mother owned a flower shop. I learned how to arrange flowers. Carnations are one of the easiest flowers to work with. This beauty from Torico is so awesome to work with - it took me back to my flower shop days. I absolutely enjoyed coloring these beauties with my Prisma color pencils and blending with OMS. I can't tell you how much fun I am having being guest designer. I hope that you are enjoying all the beautiful eye candy.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #95

Good Morning Sketchers -

Today we have another wonderful sketch and sponsor, Digital Delights. My apologies to Wendy as I did not get my act together and select a digi from their store. I love that they have black and white digis as well as colored images - great when you're in a pinch. I was busy daydreaming that school was over and that I had all the time in the world to put together my work.

I like this sketch because it can be flipped, be elaborate or go simple. I sort of when in between. I struggled all night with what I wanted to do. I used a new stamp and paper set from Close to My Heart. Of course I bought two packs of this paper because it's totally me - pink and green!

Melissa decided to postpone the judged challenge to this week. We sadly only had 4 players last week - I guess crayon resist is not people's thing! So please come and play along with us this week. I totally enjoy seeing your creations.


Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have an awesome day!!

TSG Birthday Blog Hop


Jessica wishing you the
happiest of birthdays
!!

Today, Meredith (Crafty Math Chick) put together a wonderful Birthday Blog Hop for Jessica, owner of There She Goes Clear Stamps.  I thought I was TSG's number one fan, but I think Meredith has me beat, but not by much!! If you came here from the marvelous Tammy Hershburger's blog...then you're on the right track.

I adore Jessica's stamps and it's an honor to be a part of this blog hop to honor you on this special day. The next stop on this birthday bash is the wonderfully talented Torico.





For my card I used Dream a New Dream. This is a new set for me and I hadn't inked it up yet. I was so excited to use this beautiful vase full of lillies. I used Prisma Color Pencils and OMS to blend. I think my coloring skills have improved over the years - especially when I am under stress!!

I hope you have an awesome day!!

Tulip

Hello Crafters -

I am having so much fun being a guest designer for There She Goes. Normally I don't get (make) a lot of time to craft, but school is winding down and I am loving inking up my stamps and practicing different techniques.

For my card today I pulled out my Prisma color pencils, OMS and nubs. I colored and blended and colored and blended until I got the color and shading I wanted. Then I did what I was most afraid of...shading around the image. I think it came out pretty cool!!

The set used here is called Tulip and is one of their wonderful mini sets that sells for $7 - how can you beat that?


Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have an awesome day!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #94

It's another fabulous Tuesday at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This week is challenge week - no sketch, but you need to pull out that white Crayola Crayon and do some Crayon Resist. Our sponsor this week is One Stop Cards.

When I began to make cards this was the first technique that I learned. I was going to cheat and post the card that I made years ago, but alas I could not find it. I couldn't believe how much trouble I had putting this together. I went through about 6 or 7 images and finally settled on of course my final card. I also have to admit that I fashioned my card after a tutorial I saw at Gina K Stamp TV. I didn't mean to it just sort of happened.

It has been raining here and I just wanted a little bit of sunshine. The stamp set I used is called Flowers, but I don't know made the set. I threw away the packaging and placed them in a CD case. I do however know where the sentiment came from...There She Goes - called Sentimental Thank You. The images are all handwritten and are just georgeous. I think it finished off my card perfectly. I hope it brings you some sunshine too!
