TSG201 Tweet This...

This week our challenge at There She Goes is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the week,Tracy Valure! She is challenging YOU to make a card or project for the man/boy/son/etc. in your life. Masculine cards can be so challenging in a world full of embellishments and colors, so use this challenge to add to your stockpile of cards for the boys!  

I bought these fun wood veneers at Michaels a couple of weeks ago and have been dying to use them.  I realized they'd be perfect for a guy card!!!! We all know that the guys in our life don't like the cards with all the muss and fuss so this is awesome!!! The sentiment from the TSG set "Birdie Wishes" was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.  The layout for my card is a variation of this week's Retro Sketch challenge. 

Thanks for popping by!!! 

TSG Sneak Peek - Lucky Duck and Hooked on Quack!!

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck…well, it’s probably a Lucky Duck!! Ok, that was corny, but this SUPER cute set by Torico will make you squee with delight…could it get any cuter? Lots of ducks, and stamps to build the perfect scene, it’s so versatile.

Eeks!!!! Isn't this duck way too cute?? Love it!!! For my card, I decided to use this week's TSG sketch challenge as my inspiration.  I am in love with the new Fancy Pants Design line called "Park Bench" which is perfect for this set.  The image has been colored with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Gamsol.  

Lucky Duck is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 24 stamps and will sell for $18.00.

While brainstorming the sentiments for Lucky Duck, as always, we took a turn for the dark side…..what else can I say besides this set is ducking awesome.

TSG197 Wish Big

This week’s challenge at There She Goes is brought to you by our trendsetter of the week, Vera Yates. She has challenged us to make a card using only black cardstock for your layering.

For my card, I decided to use this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge as my inspiration.  I'll admit, I fudged the sketch a little because I didn't want to make it look like the image from the TSG set "Tooth Fairy Approved"  was flying off the card.  The sentiment comes from the set called "Wrapped in Joy".

TSG194 Have a happy day

This week our challenge at There She Goes is brought to us by our Trendsetters. We are challenging you to use flowers-whether they be paper or stamps!  For my card today, I was inspired by this week's Retro Sketch. I am loving the look and clean and simple cards lately :-)  The flower I created was using one of the Memory Box Dies. If I remember correctly, it is called "Lisette Buckle" and a Sizzix die.  I then stamped a sentiment from the TSG set "Have a Happy Day". 

To be eligible for the giveaway, create a project that uses flowers in some way, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz.

Be my Valentine

Apparently, I had a brain fart last week!!!  I didn't realize that this never posted. I made this tag for last week's TSG Inspiration challenge. I was in the mood to make a tag, so that's what I did. So there... LOL.  For my tag, I created a rosette in the blue-ish colored DP. I then added a heart that I made using the Hearts dienamic from MFT.  The sentiment comes from the new TSG set called "Be My Valentine" which was stamped in Archival Black Ink. 

It's TSGA again week where we highlight some of our older sets so you'll see me pretty busy on my blog this week!! 

Thanks for popping by. 

TSG190 From the heart

Hi there!!! As soon as I saw this week's TSG challenge, I knew I wanted to go clean and simple.  This week, it is all about "Love is in the Air".  I didn't want to go traditional in terms of a Valentine's Day card but instead wanted to create a set of cards that could be used for any purpose. I always find I'm in need of a 'Thinking of you' card or just a quick and simple thank you card.  This is perfect!!! For my card, I've used the current Retro Sketch challenge. For my card, I have used last year's Echo Park "Yours Truly" and the sentiment is from the TSG set called "Everyday Greetings".  I then added some clear rhinestones to finish off the card.  

Thanks for popping by!!! 

TSG185 Gift of Giving

 

This week our challenge at There She Goes is brought to us by our Trendsetters! We are challenging YOU to make a card or project using our Season of Giving theme! You can use the theme in any way you chose, whether it be cards, tags, or actual gifts!

 I decided to have a little bit of fun and create a scene inside a picture frame.  For this project, I used a variety of DP (mainly Echo Park, My Mind's Eye and SImple Stories) for the trees as well as the background. In the background, I stamped some snowflakes from the set "HoHoHo" in Chocolate Chip ink and added some cream colored pearls.  The trees were created using "Christmas Tree Stacker" die from Dee's Distinctively Dies.  Each part of the trees has been sponged with Old Olive ink.  The reindeer are also from the HoHoHo set and have been watercolored with Tombow Markers and then popped up for a bit of dimension.  It's hard to see in the photo but I added a bunch of "Snow" at the bottom of the inside of the frame to make it look like a snowy ground. 

To be eligible for the giveaway, create a card or project using this week’s challenge 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.

Here is a shot of the tags I created all together.

 

 

The shot of the tags using the mittens die and sentiment from the TSG set called "Warmest Wishes".

 

 

A shot of the tags using Warmest Wishes again with the stocking die. 

 

For the set of tags, I've used some tags that I purchased at Michaels which I have altered by adding DP from Simple Stories and Echo Park.  I wanted to keep them with a bit more vintage look so I have sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip ink.

TSG176 Inspiration Challenge

This week, the challenge at There She Goes is brought to us by me!!! I am challenging YOU to make a card or project using the provided inspiration photo!!

 

For my card, I originally was going to go with a Winter theme but my creativity took me in a completely different direction.  It's amazing how that works sometimes right?

 

For my card, I decided to use the TSG set called "When I Grow Up".  I still went with the colors from the inspiration picture and made sure I used some Chevron DP to mimic the lines.  The image was watercolored with a combination of Tombow Markers (skin)  and Distress markers (everything else).  I'm looking forward to getting to play with the Distress markers more.
