TSG Get Well Wishes Blog Hop!

Friday, June 29, 2012

Welcome to the fourth and final day of the There She Goes July releases!

When For all your well-wishing needs, Melyssa has created this SUPER cute and VERY versatile set, Get Well Wishes!! Nothing says feel better soon like a handmade card, and this set contains the perfect sentiments and images to say exactly what you need to say to brighten someone’s day! With sentiments for nurses, too, you will get TONS of use out of this SUPER adorable set!!

Get Well Wishes is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 19 stamps and will sell for $18.00.

I can't get enough of Melyssa's stamps! They're so well drawn and adorable to boot! I used one of the accessory images in the set and just one of the MANY sentiments this set has. The layout is from last week's Deconstructing Sketch #57 - I'm a little late to the party, but what's new?! :)

Hi again!
 (If you're looking for my TSG release sneak peek, please scroll down...or stay awhile!)

I'm back with another look at one of Amy Y.'s Sweet November stamps released earlier this month!

Polly reminds me of my little girl right now. She's just started her summer vacation and has been in the pool all day, every day ever since! I can't get the girl out of the water! I get the feeling Polly is exactly the same way! ;)

Polly was colored up with my SU reinkers and aquapainter brush. I used Creamy Caramel for her skin, Pretty in Pink for her cheeks, Regal Rose and Ruby Red for her swimsuit and Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip for her hair and shoes. I CASed a layout I saw on Pinterest, but I forgot to actually pin the card to give it credit later! So sorry! The sentiment is from Amy R.'s Oh So Beachy set.

I'm in the middle of coloring up a bunch of new stamps for the July release and wait until you see what Christine has in store for you next month!! You're going to SQUEAL!! :) The sneak peeks start this coming Tuesday, so mark your calendars girls!

TSG Poultry In Motion Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to Day 3 of the There She Goes July release sneak peeks!!
 We're back with another HILARIOUS sneak peek for you!

When drawing up last month’s Oh Crop set, there were just TOO many cute images and sayings for one set, so we HAD to split it into two! Poultry In Motion is the companion set to Oh Crop, and includes SEVERAL new sayings, and more ADORABLE images you are sure to love! From the farmer’s wife, to several more barn yard friends, you will LOVE what you can create when these two sets combine.

 
Poultry in Motion is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 30 stamps and will sell for $18.00.

 
Just to show you how well the two sets work together, I made this card using the main image from the Oh Crop set with a few new stamps from the Poultry In Motion set! If you bought the Oh Crop set last month, you NEED this set! It has a bunch more sentiments as well as Mrs. Farmer and some more farm animals for the farm!

Would you like to win the new Poultry In Motion stamp set?

TSG Stitched With Love Blog Hop!

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

Hi everyone!

Are you loving all the sneak peeks so far?! I sure am! Get ready for today's There She Goes sneak peek - it's going to warm your heart!

Last month, we released the CUTEST set by Torico, Cute as a Button. This month, we have it’s PERFECT companion-Stitched With Love! Full of additional images and sentiments, whether used separately, or together, no matter what you create, Stitched With Love will be PERFECT for the crafter in your life (or you!!)!!

Stitched With Love is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 24 stamps and will sell for $15.00.

I was SO hoping Torico would come up with a cross stitch sampler to go with the Cute As A Button set! So you know I squealed out loud when this set arrived in the mail! It even comes with it's own embroidery hoop! Not that I used it on my card though...I wanted to show you how you don't have to use the hoop to create the look of a cross stitch. If the layout looks familiar, it's because I used this week's TSG's #162 challenge sketch for my layout. And that paper....is to die for! It's from MME's Nostalgia collection....LOVING IT!!

What's The Buzz?

Friday, June 22, 2012

Happy Friday everyone!

It's officially summer here in New England...the mosquito's are out in force!! I took the little one down to the local river for a dip in the water and I was attacked by the nasty little buggers! I'm trying not to itch the bites but it's so haaaard to resist! We're headed back there again today, but this time I'm bringing the repellant! I don't know what I was thinking (by not bringing it) yesterday! lol

We live opposite conservation land, so we've seen just about every winged thing there is to see - everything from hawks and hummingbirds to dragonflies and bumble bees! Which is why this week's There She Goes challenge was an easy one for me! :) We're challenging you to use a 'winged thing' on your next project.

There She Goes has a few buggy sets to choose from. For my card I chose to use the Bee Happy mini set. It's one of my favorite mini sets and one of the easiest sets to color! ;) I used SU's (retired) Morning Marigold for the bee's bodies and Cool Caribbean (also retired) for the clouds. The clouds were sponged using Rosie's Roadshow Cloud Template.

The layout is from last week's I Spy Sketches ISSC20 challenge and I think I may have got this one in just in the nick of time! Sweet! I'm usually late to most of the challenge parties these days!

If this set is on your wish list, now would be a good time to grab it and anything else you've had your eye on because there's a sale going on in the There She Goes store!

Next week is the start of the TSG's July release sneak peek's so you may want to hold onto that wishlist for a little bit longer...you may be adding to it soon! lol

Enjoy your weekend!

Oh Crab...I Forgot!

Thursday, June 21, 2012

Happy Thursday everyone!

By lunchtime today my little girl is officially finished with school (we're a little behind the rest of the country here in the north-east)! And I am taking the rest of the week off from work to spend it with her! Yay! We're headed to the local river for a swim since it's going to be a scorcher today! Which is fitting because I have another card to share with you using the sweet Snorkeling Beatrice!

She's a doll isn't she? I love those tiny eyes poking out from behind the goggles! :) I borrowed this month's Sketch For You To Try for my layout, which is why I'm lacking in the layers department! Sometimes simple is good though. Sometimes I need to keep it a little simple! Haha Beatrice is colored in my SU reinkers and Distress Inks for her hair. The ocean background was sponged with SU's retired Cool Caribbean. I used a fun sentiment from the Oh So Beachy set and the shell die to ground the sentiment. The paper is from an old K&Company pad I've had forever now. I love the pop of blue on the orange and pink paper!

Pop on over to the ATS blog for some more inspiration using the Swiss Pixies and Beatrice stamps!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great weekend!
