TSG Sneak Peek - Beach Bums!!!


Our final set this month at There She Goes is another FABULOUS creation from Torico. Made to coordinate perfectly with the previously released Make A Splash stamp set, this set if perfect for not only making cards, but scrapbooking your family vacations, and summer beach trips!

LOL!!! I love every image in this set but wanted to do something a little different than what I thought people would create.  This card would be perfect for a friend who is needing a bit of encouragement.  The layout for my card is this month's SFYTT. 

If you're a member of the Fan Club at SCS, I have another project here for this month's Dirty Dozen Summertime gallery. 

Beach Bum is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 19 stamps and will sell for $24.00.

ISSC26 Talk nerdy to me

WOW!!! This has been one busy week especially with the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges at SCS just around the corner. Have you been enjoying the TSG sneak peeks as well this week? 

We all know the reason you're here... this week's iSpy sketch which is from Therese Calvird and is based on this card.


Easy sketch eh?  I love it!! Although I must admit, this one had me stumped for a LONG time.  I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with it and then I had an aha moment.  Or should I say I slapped my own forehead moment?  LOL.


For my card, I was inspired by the new "Sunny Side" DP from Pebbles that I bought at my LSS recently. The image is an a la Mode image called "Talk Nerdy to Me" from MFT. The image was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black, embossed with clear embossing powder and then watercolored with my Tombow Markers.  I think this card would be perfect for a back to school gift.

Now head on over to the iSpy blog to check out what the DT has created!!!

Have a great day!!!

TSG Sneak Peek - Enjoy Life


Eeks!!! Day 3 of Sneak peeks for this month's TSG release.  WOWZA!!! So much fun!!!

No sweeter treat, or better way to Enjoy Life in the summer time than an ice cream cone, am I right? Well, Torico has made a FABULOUS set of mix and match patterns of ice cream, and their cones, for you to custom make your own YUMMY treats! And even better, we have custom made our own Die’s to go along with this FABULOUS set!!! They are a set of three dies including two ice cream tops, measuring at approximately 1 1/4" and 1", and one cone measuring at 1 1/8".

For my card, I have used both the dies and stamps from "Enjoy Life".  I stamped on the brown and pink DP in Versamark ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  Both were then cut out using the co-ordinating dies. LOVE them!!! 

Enjoy Life is a 4x4 set that includes a total of 11 stamps and will sell for $10.00.
The Enjoy Life dies will sell separately for $8.25.

TSG Sneak Peek - Maidbot


Eeks!!! Can you believe it's sneak peek time already for this month's TSG sneak peeks? We have some fantastic sets for you this month!!!

Another FUN addition to her SUPER CUTE robot line, Torico is back with this month’s Maidbot. I know we all WISH we had one, and well, now you SORT OF do!!!! Imagine the fun cards and scrapbook pages you can make with this cutie, and her cleaning tools!

I colored this image while I was hanging out with a few of the trendsetters while at our fearless leader Jessica Knutsen's house earlier this month.  I normally pick my DP's first but on our getaway I decided to spend my entire time coloring... lesson learned.  So much easier to pick DP first!!! LOL!!! I ended up having a hard time finding DP that would work with how I colored my image but overall, I like how it turned out. 
Maidbot is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 6 stamps and will sell for $7.00.

ISSC25 - Snowy Days...


I've had a fairly busy week (I know I was procrastinating yesterday) so I decided to combine my card for There She Goes Again week (where we highlight some older TSG sets) and my ISpy challenge card.

Here is this week's iSpy sketch that I based my card upon.  This week we are featuring Elzbieta B. (crazysexycool @ SCS) and is based on this card


For my card, I've used the TSG set called "Snowy Days" for the sentiment.  The snowflakes were created using the MFT Snowflake die. 

Pop on over to the iSpy blog to check out what the DT has in store for you!!!
