Little Moments Blog Hop Challenge

Welcome to our last day of sneak peeks! I am so excited about today's featured stamp set because it is similar to one of my all time favorite winter stamp sets illustrated by Torico- Wonderful Winter Wishes!! This set is an indoor winter themed set that you are going to LOVE!

Warm fuzzy moments and life’s little memories are genuinely captured by Torico in this new Little Moments set. Gazing through the window watching the snow fall, special moments with brothers and sisters or wonderful thoughts of that one special grandmother that make your heart warm are all here. There’s no better way to send a loving card or create a scrapbook page to capture these glorious moments than to use this fabulous new stamp set.



Little Moments is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 12 stamps $24.

Would you like to win the new Little Moments stamp set? Here is what you need to do- visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post.

You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday December 31st with the winner being announced during the release party chat.

When getting ready to make my sample, I simply could not decide on which image from the stamp set I wanted to use so I used them all :) My scene measures 6"x8" so as you can see, the images are good size and perfect for coloring!! And of course these images work perfectly with a bunch of other TSG stamp sets like Wonderful Winter Wishes, Blossom By Blossom, Cattitude and Pumpkins On The Vine just to name a few ;)

TSG135- Last minute gift tags (Loads Of Fun)

Can you believe that it is almost Christmas already?! I have been so busy these last couple of weeks that I'm am having a really hard time getting in the holiday spirit. Tomorrow is Kylie's appointment at Children's Hospital and Wednesday is Kayla's birthday but I'm hoping that I will get to do some baking with the girls on Thursday. And heck, maybe we can even fit in a Christmas movie or two :)

This week's TSG challenge is perfect for those of you that are still working on wrapping those gifts! The challenge is to create a last minute gift tag! For my gift tag I opted to use one of our TSG(Again) stamp sets that are being featured this week by the DT called Loads Of Fun. This set is so much fun to use and I love that I have an excuse to break it out and ink it up!

Check out the TSG Blog for the rest of the details and also to find out how you can win a TSG gift certificate simply by playing along!

And here is my tag. All images are colored using Prismacolor Pencils and that beautiful Vintage Seam Binding and Jute Twine are from Ribbon Carousel.

TSG134: Color Combo (Holly Jolly)

Holly Jolly, Warmest Wishes, Hohoho will be back in stock sometime today and the other stamp sets you have been waiting for should be here sometime tomorrow!!
 
I can't believe that Monday is here already! I wish that there were more hours in the day because I am just NOT ready for Christmas. Would you believe that I still have not done ANY shopping for the girls yet?? Yikes! Since this is their last week in school before break, I'd better get going on that ;)

This week for the TSG challenge we have a fabulous color combo with a twist of making your card winter themed. When I first saw the colors, I went into a bit of a panic but after leafing through some of my DP packs I felt a little relief when I came across some cute Cosmo Cricket paper.
