Ssssso glad to see you!!!

Today is our last day of sneak peaks for There She Goes. Today we are previewing a new set called Zoopendous. It was collaborative creation between Melyssa and Judy. Here are some more deets on this set:

Peacocks, and hippos and snakes, oh my! Judy Rozema was our lucky winner from this year’s Mother Of All Blog Hops and one of her prizes was the chance to work with TSG to design a stamp set in a theme of her choice. She said that she would like a fun zoo stamp set that incorporated some animals that are different than you might find in other stamp sets and we knew just who the perfect illustrator would be for this! Melyssa’s adorably whimsical zoo animals will have you going wild!

Zoo-pendous is a 6x8 set that will sell for $24.

Would you like a chance to win the Zoo-pendous stamp set? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Zoo-pendous 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 Zoo-pendous stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday July 30th during the Release Party

Here is my creation for today. Like I did with the rest of the week, I used scraps off my pile to make this card so I do not know whose paper I used. I colored my little guy with copics and cut it out using Labels 1 nesties. I added alittle coat of crystal effects on the eyes which I am not sure you can see. Then I could not figure out a good place for the sentiment on the front so I created alittle panel inside for it.

Dont forget to leave comments all the way through the blog hop for a chance to win todays set. I am hoping you came to me from Angelas blog. Up next after me is Christine. Have fun along the hop and I cant wait to see you at the Release Party on Saturday!!!

I miss you a Boatload

Day two of release previews for There She Goes. This is a new set created by Torico and is another A-dorable creation from her. Here is alittle clip about the set:

Awhile back Torico had posted some of her sketches on her Facebook page and this adorable boy and his puppy got lots of attention! So many of you said that it needed to be made into a stamp and we agreed. Not only is this mini set great by itself but it can also be combined with many of Torico’s other TSG stamp sets for even more versatility!

Float My Boat is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 9 stamps and will sell for $7

Would you like a chance to win the Float My Boat stamp set? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Float My Boat Blog Hop Challenge post.

A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own Float My Boat stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday July 30th during the Release Party Chat.

For my card today I went with a bit of a masculine color scheme. I have been trying to use some of the larger scraps on my pile so I am sorry that I dont know what paper I used. My gorgeous seam binding is from The Ribbon Carousel. Now I hope you are following along on the hop. If you are you should have come to me from the TSG Blog. Next up after me is Christine. Have fun hopping along and good luck. Hope you are one of the winners this month. Dont forget the release party will be Saturday. Please join us!!

Happy Birthday with Humphrey

Hi Everyone!! I made a card today using a Humphrey stamp called Birthday Girl from Crafters Companion. Dont you just love that sweet little face?

We have a fun Sketch Challenge for you over at Crafters Companion. I made alittle Inspiration piece for all of you. Here is alittle sneak peak. Come take a look and play along.

Wishing you all kinds of Happiness!

Hi All!! We just got back from our family vacation to Lake George. We had such a fabulous time. The weather was perfect and so were the kids. I could not have asked for a better time. I made this card from There She Goes before I left but never had a chance to post it, and it was a good thing I got it done before hand because we were not able to take ALL of my crafting supplies that I wanted to. My husband thought he brought the necessary box but left behind the ink and stamps. Soooooo a week without crafting for me. I am going to make up for lost time tomorrow for sure. But todays card is made with the There She Goes set called Blossom by Blossom (which I just noticed is out of stock). I decided to do some paper piecing with this little sweetie and then colored the rest with copics. My paper is MME and my flowers and border were made with MFT Dienamics.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I am glad to be home to get to my craft room but I am also afraid to go down there and face the MOUND of laundry we brought home!!! LOL. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

Breakthroughs

Hi All. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. It has cooled off tremendously here on Long Island so I did some house organizing and got some crafting done. For todays card I used a very pretty set from There She Goes called Thinking of You. I stamped my flower image behind my sentiment is pumpkin ink and stampe the sentiment using chocolate brown. I cut out the panel using Labels 11. My designer paper is a mix of MME Stella Rose and my brads and ribbon are SU. A friend of mine had a super tough week so I am going to send this on to her for a little pick me up.

Enjoy your weekend and thanks so much for stopping by today!!!

Fairyopolis from Crafters Companion

Hi All!!!   Today and I have a sweet card to share with you that was made with a lot of yummy Fairyopolis goodness from Crafters Companion.

I started to create my card by picking the beautiful paper from the Fairyopolis 12 x 12 paper pack. I cut some of my layers on my card with the Ultimate Crafters Companion and popped up the layers with dimension from the Fairyopolis Card Making Kit. From the same kit I used the rub-ons for this sweet little fairy girl and my sentiment. Then to finish things off I created the pretty pink bow with the bow making tool in the Ultimate Crafters Companion and added some crystals found in the card making kit. I am embarrassed to tell you how quickly this card came together. With the Fairyopolis Card Making Kit you can create beautiful projects in no time because it comes with everything you could need all in one kit.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you enjoy your day!!
