There She Goes Release Week | Day One

I so look forward to this time of the month - There She Goes Release Week!

Another FUN addition to her SUPER CUTE robot line, Torico is back with this month’s Maidbot. I know we all WISH we had one, and well, now you SORT OF do!!!! Imagine the fun cards and scrapbook pages you can make with this cutie, and her cleaning tools!

Maidbot is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 6 stamps and will sell for $7.00.

For my card, the first thing I thought about was how wonderful it would be to be rich to have a maid. I tell you, "I'd milk it for all it's worth!" I am entering my card into the Sketch Saturday #217 challenge.   I thought their sketch was perfect for this cutie!! This is what I love about TSG stamps - I used Poultry in Motion for the milk carton and the sentiment. 

Would you like to win the new Maidbot stamp set? 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.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #156

Hello Crafters -

First let me start off by welcoming my new followers and thanking each and everyone of you for all the fabulous comments. I hope to visit your blogs in the next day or two to see all your wonderful creations.

Well it's time for a new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. Our sponsor this week is the Doodle Pantry. For my card I selected an image called "Forget Me Nots" these are just delightful delicate pretty flowers. I did not use the entire image I used the .png file and cut what I wanted. I didn't think I had the capabilities. I love how this card came out - simple and cheery. I chose to use a sentiment from There She Goes because I have a special person in mind for this card.

Here is today's sketch. Once again, please stop by the rest of the DT and leave them some love. They really have done an excellent job with their cards. 

Again, you are all the best! I appreciate you're time and comments. Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!

This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. I am coming up to my 5 year milestone at the end of October. I am very happy that I have survived this terrible disease and I hope that everyone will get checked. Early detection is the key!

There She Goes (Again)! Christmas in July

This week is TSG (Again)! week, where we are featuring some of the older TSG stamp sets. This month's sets are...

Penguin Pals,

Snowy Days,

Season's Greetings 

For my card I selected another image from Penguin Pals. I adore this little Christmas tree. I paired this little tree with Mistletoe paper from Close To My Heart. This is also my second card using this weeks sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. I thought the sketch was perfect for this image.

I hope you'll head over to the TSG store because Jessica is offering at 15% off your entire order. Now's the time to get ahead of the holiday hustle and bustle! As I said yesterday, I don't generally like this tradition but I'm actually excited that I have 3 and possibly 4 cards completed for Christmas! I think we need to have a Halloween in April tradition! 

Thanks for stopping by. I can't tell you all how much I appreciate all your wonderful comments. Have an awesome day!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #155

It's a wonderful day here in Denver...and I'm in a class all day learning to add and subtract! Actually learning to get kids to think about how they add and subtract. Fun fun!!

It's time for a new sketch and sponsor at Tuesday Morning Sketches. Our sponsor this week is none other than the Cupcake Craftroom - one of the DT's that I have the privilege to be on. The Cupcake Craftroom offers some fabulous digital papers. Be sure to check out Mandy's store. The sketch is totally awesome and can be interpreted in many ways.

For my card I used Cupcake Craftroom digital paper Spring Bouquet and Primrose Path. The image is from Flourishes and called Make a Wish. Isn't that rose just dreamy? Believe it or not the bow is not peach, but a really beautiful light pink. Somehow with the photography - it looks peach!! 

Here is the sketch. I do hope that you'll take the time to visit the DTs blogs and see their fabulous creations. I can't wait to see what you do with this sketch. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!! 

TSG ~ Christmas in July

Hello All -

Okay I had to redo my post! I put the wrong date on the schedule. I was reading Facebook and read that my friend Craft Math Chick (Meredith) made a project late last night and realized she put one of her states backwards and had to redo the whole project. Well...as I was editing my card I was looking at it it looked funny...the nestie cut out is backwards! There is no fixing this...I have a brad going through it, and dimensionals on the back - it would make a serious mess!! It was hot, I was watching a Lifetime movie and crying - you know how they are - and I just missed it! But I love my card anyway.

With all that said...This week, our challenge is brought to us by our Trendsetters! That's right stampers, and TSG Fans, it's Christmas in July!! Use any Christmas themed stamps or papers on your card or project! Let's all get a jump start on our holiday projects!! 

For my card today I used Penguin Pals. I hadn't inked up this set yet and although I am not a big person on this tradition I have to say I really enjoyed coloring up this darling little penguin. I have a couple of other projects to share with this same set later this week. I used Sketchbook Saturday for my layout. I did put a sentiment on the card...it's on the side along with a stamped and colored candy cane. I ran out of battery on the camera!! 

To be eligible for the giveaway, create a card or project with the Christmas in July theme, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (July 23). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the lookout to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)

You do not need to have a blog to be able to participate in the TSG Challenges! You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword TSG165 so we can check out your beautiful work!

Oh Crop!

Hello Folks, quick post today...

I colored up this cute little guy a few weeks ago and I'm just now getting him onto a card. This cutie comes from a set released a couple of months ago from There She Goes. It's called Oh Crop and it's totally too fun. It also has a companion set that was released last month called Poultry In Motion - you have to check them out.

Now as you look at my card, you need to know that the sentiment that I used is not part of the set. I just couldn't resist it! I typed it up and printed it out. I did get Jessica's blessings. I think my home is a bit too hot because the Liquid Glass wouldn't play nice on his glasses.

I appreciate your stopping by. Have an awesome day!
