There She Goes Release Week | Day One

Yeah! It's release week at There She Goes Clear Stamps. I know I say this every month, but this month's release will blow you away. The sets this month are just fabulous.

Today, we are sneak peeking not one set, but two sets by the talented Torico, so let's get started.

We have all had a loss for words…but have you ever had a loss for numbers? Torico’s new illustrated set brings the numbers to the forefront. With two sets of numbers to color, paper piece, or be creative with ink Numbered days is the set for you to send those birthday and anniversary wishes.

Numbered Days is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 37 stamps and will sell for $15.00.

Okay, I have to say I love how this card came out. I love the idea of having just numbers for your cards. Being a school teacher this is fabulous so I can make cards with their numbers on them. This card is for my cousin's daughter who will be turning 1 in May.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friendbots, Lovebots, Nursebots, and now Birthdaybots. Torcio has been hard at work to bring us another fabulous bot! Is this bot ever cute. What a fabulous way to send out birthday wishes to your little bot.

Birthdaybot is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 4 stamps and will sell for $7.00.

For my card today, I used the Sweet Stop Sketch. I had to alter it a bit so that my sentiment would fit. I totally love how this came out. My cousin's little boys birthday is in July and I'll be presenting this to him - he'll totally love it.

Would you like to win the new Numbered Days and Birthdaybot stamp sets?

A Little Tulip Mojo

Well I never got my second post posted last night. After school I had to go to a "photo" shoot - me!! I was selected to be on a postcard for some incentives with my school district. I had such a fun time. I can't wait to see the photos that were taken. When I got home I was just so exhausted that I fell asleep.

Here is my second card. I totally love it! This card is also for my friend. It's so hard to give this one up too! I guess I'll just have to make another one to keep for my stash. I made this card using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch (#228). I also used the Tulip set from There She Goes. I masked and stamped the single tulip three times and I wasn't sure how it would come out, but it came out perfectly. What's awesome is that TSG is having a sale through tonight - getting 15% off. Be sure to head over and get the sets you've always wanted. I know I say that all the sets are my favorite. I totally love this stamp company. I'm lucky to be on the design team - even if I weren't I'd be shopping till I dropped with this sale.

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!

A Beautiful CASE

I have two posts for today!

This first one I have been wanting to make this card for awhile now. I selected the photo for the TSG inspriation challenge because it was totally me...and I never got to make the card I had in my head. Sure enough when I was stalking the Trendsetter's blogs Karen Giron made the card I had in my head. Oh is it ever pretty.

I hadn't planned on making the card until a friend of mine needed a card for her sister-in-law. I thought oh well I'm going to make it anyway. I used the carnations from the Forever set from There She Goes Clear Stamps instead of the tulips - and I didn't do the sewing on my card because I broke my sewing maching and I don't remember how to thread the bobbin. There is no sentiment, because my friend wanted a sentiment that was more personal.

If you click on Karen's name above you can see her card. Here is mine. I think it's fabulous and now I'm having a hard time having to give it to my friend. Why do we make these cards other than to give them away!!

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day! 

Tuesday Morning Sketches #133

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Good Morning Tuesday Morning Sketchers - we have a great sketch today designed my DT member Jessica George. Jessica has designed a unique sketch in that the card is a square 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 with a scrappling. I learned that a scrappling is the piece left over from a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. I want to thank all of you that played last week. I think my sketch frightened some players away. I'll remember in the future to keep them clean and simple!!

This week DRS Designs is our sponsor. I do like their stamps. They also have some fun new products in their store as well. Be sure to check it out. I selected the Filigree Heart for my project today. It's such a fun image. I colored it with my Copics and added some glitter.

This week is also Judged Challenge Week! That means we have the sketch along with a 1-2-4 Challenge:

1 Emblishment, 2 Ribbons, and 4 Layers

I do hope that you'll play along with us this week.

Here is this week's sketch. I hope that you have as much fun with it as I have...I can't wait to see what you do! Be sure to head over to the DTs blogs and leave them some love on their fabulous creations.

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #132

It's an icy and snowy cold Tuesday morning in Denver today. I've had enough of the snow and shoveling snow and scraping window shields and having below 32 degree weather. I want spring!! At least we have Tuesday Morning Sketches today!!

This week we have another sketch from me and a favorite sponsor - Paper Pretties! Thanks to Paper Pretties for the digis. I selected the You're So Sweet digi. I really liked the whimsical feel of these yummy cupcakes. They also have some fabulous stamps, so be sure to head over and check out their store.

For my card I used these fabulous DPs (sorry I can't remember who they came from - I really need to write it down somehow when I cut off the tag) and I colored the image with my Copics. I used my Cricut Art Philosophy to cut out the tickets and used a Close To My Heart set for the sentiment. For the final touch I added some WOC flowers. I plan on giving this card to a co-worker for her birthday.

Here is today's sketch - it can be as simple or fancy as you wish. I hope that you'll play along with us this week. We totally loved having 34 players this past week. I hope that you'll "like" us (Tuesday Morning Sketches) on Facebook. Be sure to invite all your friends to join along as well.

Also, please stop by the DTs blogs, as we all need a little love!

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!

February Cupcake Craftroom Challenge

This month over at the Cupcake Craftroom, Mandy has challenged us to New Beginnings!

Feel free to interpret this as you'd like - new baby, new home, new job, wedding engagement, you decide...What will your New Beginnings be?

When I thought about what my new beginnings would be I had to really think about it. I have had so many new beginnings (thank goodness for that)! One of the new beginnings that I have to always remind myself of is loving - me and living! So I designed my card based on that reminder. I totally love this card. I think I'll frame it so that I wake up daily with that thought.

Today the Design Team is showing off some new yummy papers called Life Life In Love. It includes 21 papers in pinks and reds along with six sentiments. The prize this month will be your choice of one Cupcake Cards & Crafts paper collection of your choice from the store. I do hope you'll join along. Be sure to check out the store - Mandy has some amazing papers.

Lastly, with sadness we say fond farewells to two of our designers on the cupcakes team, Sal and Mary. They will be missed for sure! So Mandy has decided to find one more teamie ... be sure to check out our Design Team Call which will be open through February 29th 2012.

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #131

Good Morning,

It's a fabulous day for Tuesday Morning Sketches. We have a great sponsor - Doodle Pantry and let me shout out a thank you for the great digis they sent our way. We have a great sketch, designed by yours truly. I can't wait to see what you create with today's sketch.

For my card I used an image called Quirky Mouse. This image comes with a black & white so you can color, and 3 different images that are colored for you. I colored my image using my Copics. The gray didn't come out the way I envisioned, but I think it's pretty cute. I used this gorgeous two-sided paper from Authentique - isn't it gorgeous??

Here is today's sketch. Be sure to stop by each of the DTs blog - they have created some amazing cards. Also, Tuesday Morning Sketches is now on Facebook. I hope you'll come follow us there and tell your friends to come join us.

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!
