As soon as I saw the image of the little boy that is included in this stamp set, I knew that I HAD to create a card that has a pair of twins! I don’t have any boys of my own but am the proud Godmother to the most adorable 14 month old twin boys Blake and Troy. Since it is nearly impossible to tell the boys apart, their mom (my BFF) makes it easy on all of us by always having Troy dressed in blue. So of course I had to have one of the boys on my card wearing a red tie Now, their daddy isn’t the suit and tie wearing kinda guy but hey, it works lol!

The gorgeous ribbon and rhinestones used on this card are from RibbonCarousel.com!

 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoy all of the other fabulous creations that the Trendsetters have made using this set!!

For my sneak peek I wanted to show how versatile this stamp set is by combining it with a number of previously released TSG Stamp sets. I apologize for the poor quality of this picture, for some reason my camera was throwing a tantrum

The images that I used from the new mini set Ruh-roh: Puppy, girl with hands on hips and paint bucket.

And here is a list of the other stamp sets used-

Beautiful Day: Window, shutters, flower box

A Woman’s Place: kitchen sink, dish towel

Follow Your Bliss: Purple flowers and bunny

Every Child: Girl painting house

The Fairy Best: Grass along bottom of house

All of the images were stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

And here is a close up of the layers-

TSG149 / It’s release week!

Release week is here and like always, the Trendsetters will be sharing some sneak peeks of the fabulous new stamp sets that will be released this Saturday! The official Blog Hop Challenges don’t start until tomorrow but head on over to the TSG Blog and you just may see that some of the Trendsetters used the new sets for this week’s TSG challenge
Our challenge this week is this great sketch from our DT Coordinator Jessie Rone. I enjoyed this sketch because it gave me the opportunity play with a combination of designer papers which isn’t something that I usually do. I’m more of a clean and simple with layered images kinda girl lol.

Don’t forget to head on over to the TSG Blog for all the details about this challenge and to find out how you can win a TSG Gift certificate just by playing along!

I made this card for Kylie’s music teacher who put together an AMAZING music performance! Every year he and his wife put so much hard work into the performances and this year was no different. The adorable musical was circus themed and as soon as the show was over, I just knew I had to make him a card using this image and sentiment from the new stamp set Jungle Out There. This set will be released this Saturday evening but you can see more samples using this set during the Blog Hop Challenge that will take place this Thursday on the TSG Blog!!
For the last few weeks, I’ve been playing around with my TwinTouch alcohol markers but I’ve gone back to using my Prismacolor pencils and I think that even though this coloring method might take a bit longer than markers, I prefer the look of them in my art work.
Supplies-
Stamps: Jungle Out There (will be released this Saturday 3-31-12) 
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Paper: Lime Twist by MME, scraps from my stash, Vanilla, Early Espresso
Accessories: Corner Rounder, Sewing machine, Colored Pencils, Edge Distressor, Corduroy brads, dimensionals, Nestabilities, Natural colored twine from RibbonCarousel.com (colored with SU marker)
