TSG Sneak Peeks!

Welcome to day 1 of the There She Goes sneak peek blog hop. If you have arrived here form Miss Karen's blog then you are exactly where you should be, if not then please start back at the TSG blog :)

Today I have the pleasure of  introducing you to 2 new stamp sets from There She Goes Clear Stamps! The first one up to view is called Garden of Life and it is a 3X4 stamp set that includes a total of 7 stamps and will sell for only $7 :)

 

For this card, I used this week's TSG104 sketch challenge. The kitty was water coloured with my tombow markers and then I sponged in the background to fill the space.

The second set of the day is called Confidential and it's a 4X6 stamp set that includes a total of 12 stamps and will sell for $15. I decided to use one of the sentiments to create this altered day timer :) I went with the more scrappy look with some distressing and even used some masking tape as decorative feature :)

Would you like a chance to win the Confidential and Garden of Life stamp sets? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Confidential / Garden of Life 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.

Puddle Jumpers

Hi everyone! I thought that I would grace you with my presence once again this week and even though I'm still mojo-less, I did have a chance to put together this card for the image that I already had coloured up from last month :)

These cute little birds are from the Under The Weather set from There She Goes. I stamped them on the paper and then water coloured them with my tombows before I masked them off to sponge in the background. This image is a little bit wider than my nestabilities so I masked off the edges to leave a crisp white outline before I sponged in the scenery.

I went with a simple layout this time round because I literally could not figure out what to do with this card. I'm kind of down that my creativity is taking such a beating but I'm hoping that the mood to be in crafting mode comes back soon! I sure do miss it :D

I hope to be back with another card sooner rather than later so ta-ta for now my pretties :D

Dancing in the Rain with Stamper's Dream

Hi everyone and welcome to my much neglected blog ;) It really goes hand in hand with my much neglected craft room and stamps! I just realized that it's been over two weeks since I posted and card and 2 weeks exactly since I even looked in my craft room. My mojo left the building sometime ago and has yet to resurface so I thought that I would make a small attempt to create something pretty even if my mojo is playing hooky :)

This card although relatively simple actually took me two days to create. I started it and then drew a blank half way through and couldn't figure out how to finish it...so I put it down and walked away over night. I finally finished it off and took a really nice picture of it but Blogger has been doing some interesting things with my photos today so I apologize for the funky/fuzzy picture :(

This card is done by just sewing the layers of card stock, patterned paper and vellum together and then taking my JustRite My Rainbow and Elegant Frames sets and heat embossing them in white on the vellum. This provides a simple but elegant look and in the end it's really one of those cards that looks pretty but didn't take too long to make...unless your me without said mojo ;)

Thanks for coming by today and I will have another card for you in the next day or two :)
