TSG146: Tag! You're It!

Monday, March 5, 2012

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. This was the first weekend in months that I've had no visitors or guests or any agenda of any kind...and it was sooo nice! On Saturday, I took the Little Ray of Sunshine to her dance class, then slept the afternoon away. I had a nagging neck/headache that refused to go away (anyone else ever get that?). On Sunday we all went grocery shopping, then went to see the new Lorax movie (which we all loved!), then it was chores for the rest of the evening. Not a bad way to spend the weekend, right?! :)

This week's There She Goes challenge TSG146 was dreamed up by one of our newest Trendsetters, Kim O'Connell! She's challenging us to create tags instead of a card! I hope you'll help us welcome her by playing along this week!

I couldn't decide whether to go with a simple one or a fancy one...so I did both!

Here's one I made using the Bon Appetit set and some scrap October Afternoon paper (Modern Homemaker), the Spellbinders Labels 8 Nestie for the base and some ric rac ribbon. Easy peesy!

This one took a little more time, but I loooove the look of it! I used an oval and scalloped oval nestie for the base, then the Labels 8 Nestie for the main panel. The sweet star and swirls are from the Bit of Stardust set. I stamped them in Milled Lavender Distress Ink and sponged the edges with Antique Linen. I couldn't resist added a little twinkle to the middle of the star! ;)

This tag was especially inspired by the latest addition to the MacLean family! My husband's cousin and his wife welcomed their first child via adoption last week and I couldn't be more happy for them!! Welcome Baby A!!

To be eligible for the giveaway, create a card or project using the sketch as inspiration 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 (March 12th). 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.
