There She Goes Release Week | Day One

Wahoo! It's my favorite time of month again...it's There She Goes Release Week and this week promises to WOW!!

It’s no secret, we are DEFINITELY in love with everything Torico does here are There She Goes, and we know you are, too. This month she has honored us by creating a set that we have been begging for…meet The Doxie with Moxie!! SUPER cute dachshunds, along with several sentiments, outfits, and even a city scene for our more “elegant” pups, this set is just TOO much fun.

The Doxie with Moxie is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 32 stamps and will sell for $18.00.

When brainstorming The Doxie with Moxie set, there was a lot of chatter about sentiments…and some of them took a turn for the funny, but…risqué, lol! We couldn't live without them, so we decided to create the Size Matters set. It’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely funny!!

Size Matters is a 3x4 set that includes 7 stamps for $9.00.

For my card followed the awesome sketch for this week's TSG challenge. Only I goofed and put the larger side on the left versus the right (oh well)! Isn't this doxie just the cutest? When I saw this set all I could think of is my Aunt Annie and her three little doxie's and the outfits they wear. She just lost her sister, so I'll need to send this off to her to help lift her spirits. She'll love it! 

Would you like to win the new The Doxie with Moxie and Size Matters stamp sets? 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. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post.

TSG (Again!) ~ Special Delivery

It's There She Goes (Again!) week. Today, I am showcasing a set called Special Delivery. This is a set that I just recently acquired. I had not really payed attention to this set until former Trendsetter, Corinna McGregor made a card using one of my sketches. I fell in love with the set. I was lucky enough to get Corinna to give me her original card.

One afternoon, a friend was going through my cards and saw Corinna's card on the wall and wanted it.  There was no way I was giving her my card. I purchased the stamp set and CASEd Corinna's card and here is my card. Now I can give my friend my card.

This is such a great stamp set. Be sure to stop by the TSG blog to see some of the Trendsetters awesome creations.

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!!

TSG-190 & TMS #181

I decided to combine two challenges - There She Goes and Tuesday Morning Sketches. 

This week our challenge is brought to us by Our Trendsetters! We are challenging you to make a card or project using our “Love is in the Air” theme! I combined it with a great sketch from TMS. I hope you'll take a peek over at TMS for the sketch and this week's sponsor. 

For my card I used the mini stamp set called Love - what a perfect set for our love is in the air theme. I am really enjoy the CAS style. It's a bit more difficult for me, but I do really enjoy the clean lines and simplicity. I just loved pairing this pink and brown together. 

Be sure stop by both TMS and There She Goes to see all the wonderful inspiration from both Design Teams. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!

TSG (Again!) Week - Love Birds

It's There She Goes (Again!) week, first up is Love Birds. This is such a fun and versatile set. Be sure to check out the TSG Blog to see how former Trendsetters showcased this beautiful set. Then be sure to come back on Friday to see the current Trendsetter cards.

For my card I again decided to stick to clean and simple. I just love how this card came out. I hope you like it too. With Valentine's Day coming up this is a great set to get started on your own cards.

I'm sorry I'm making my posts so short. The room I have my computer and all my photos on is in my craftroom - which has NO heat and it's currently 3 degrees outside, therefore it's freezing in this room. I don't want to spend too much time in here. I don't want to get sick again. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!

You Make Me Smile

Evening Folks -

Just a quick post tonight. It's so cold here and my craft room does not get heat. I so wanted to play in here today. I have on three shirts, two pair of pants, and a scarf all so I can craft!! How crazy is that?

I was looking though the new Close To My Heart catalog and saw this fun card and just had to make it! I CASEd the ruffle cuts and the bow, I changed the stamp and bling. Isn't this just too adorable? It was so fast to put together. It's nice to put together a card in 10 minutes versus the 3-5 hours it normally takes me.

Hope you like it. 

Have an awesome day ~ keep warm!!

Stampbook Saturday

It's my last day as Trendsetter of the week. I've had a wonderful time making my projects. I appreciate all the wonderful comments you left. I hope you enjoy today's project as well.

When I opened the email with the monthly calendar and the specs sheet of the upcoming release I could hardly contain myself with the Smarty Pants stamp set. Due to illness I wasn't able to complete a card for release week, and was just too excited that I could hardly wait for today's post. The photo is of my baby cousin, Kaylee. Kaylee is lucky to have a wonderful mother whom happens to take her photo at least a hundred times a day! These photos couldn't be more perfect for this stamp set.

My project was inspired by Sandra MacLean's card. 

I'll hope you'll join me next week. It's There She Goes (Again!) Week. 

Have an awesome day. 

ABC Friday ~ with Theresa

Continuing my Trendsetter week I have a great project to share with you today.

Although the holidays are behind us...gift giving is never behind us. With Torico's new set Sparkly & Bright I just had to put this darling girl on another project.

Isn't this just too cute? I cut the purse using my exclusive Close To My Heart Cricut Artiste cartridge. It was so easy to put together. I also cut the bow from the same cartridge. They were both fun to put together and pair with this darling little cutie. This makes for a great keepsake. Just think of all the possibilities you can do with this cute little purse. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!
