TSGBDAY5: Let's party

This week has been a pretty busy week for our TSG lady! We have done lots of fun things like shopping, exploring the great outdoors, midnight snacking and then Friday morning I was surprised with a party that she and a few of our other TSG friends put on to celebrate our birthday!! Imagine my shock when I walked into my office and found this-

Aren't TSG Friends the best?? :D

TSGBDAY4- In The Spotlight

All week long we are celebrating TSG's 3rd birthday with a new challenge every day. Each new challenge has a prize of  a $10 gift card so make sure you stop in to the TSG Blog each day for your chance to win!!

It is time for another fun TSG birthday challenge! So far this week we have made paper dolls, snapped a shot of our dolls while out on the town, taken a picture of them in the great outdoors and today the challenge is all about 'In The Spotlight'.

So here's what happened.....

My new TSG friend and I had a great time exploring the great outdoors with my girls the other day but boy were we beat by the end of the day! That evening we did nothing but lounge around and relax our poor tired muscles and even went to bed a bit earlier than usual. In the middle of the night I was woken up by this strange rustling sound. After hearing it continue a few moments, I woke Matt up and told him to go investigate (you know, cause I'm too wimpy to do it myself lol). We have never had mice in our house and I was praying hard that we weren't about to start now! So Matt grabbed his favorite mini flashlight that keeps on his nightstand (I wish I was kidding about this part....) and headed to find where the noise was coming from. After a couple of minutes I heard Matt in the kitchen say 'What in the heck are you doing in here??'

This is what he found-

Apparently our little friend had a case of the munchies after a long afternoon spent climbing trees and decided she needed a snack! I should have warned her to stay away from Matt's chocolate, he gets a little protective over it ;)

TSGBDAY3- The Great Outdoors

Are you guys ready for our 3rd day of fabulously fun TSG birthday challenges?? On Monday we were to create a paper doll and yesterday we were to take our new friend out on the town and snap a picture. Today we are going to do some exploring in the great outdoors!

Every well rounded woman should be able to get a little dirty just as well as she can shop and our TSG lady can do just that! Yesterday the girls and I took our new friend shopping and today we went exploring in our backyard where she showed us just how well she can tree climb! Of course she had a safety rope, we didn't want any accidents happening ;)

Now it's your turn! Create a TSG paper doll and join in on our fun photo challenges this week :) Thanks for stopping by!

I needed to take the girls out shoe shopping to pick out some new kicks before they headed back to school and I knew right away that we had to bring our TSG gal along with :) Although she and I were quite fond of these sparkly bad boys, none of my girls seemed to agree and ventured off to find different shoes.

First TSG Birthday Challenge: Make a paper doll!

Are you guys ready for the party to start??? Today marks the first official birthday challenge and we've got a fun one for you to do! The challenge for today is to create a paper doll using any TSG stamp set that you own. Christine did a fabulous tutorial on this awhile back right here on the TSG Blog just in case you need some ideas. Make sure you don't lose your 'doll' because you will need it throughout the week for the rest of the challenges ;) If you upload your paper doll to an online craft gallery, make sure you enter the keyword TSGBDAY1.

Visit the TSG Blog for all of the details about this challenge as well as to find out what you need to do to win a prize!

I had sooo many ideas floating around in my head to use for paper dolls but in the end I decided to go with our classy lady from She's A Lady which just happens to be TSG's trademark.

 

The image was stamped onto sturdy white cardstock in Momento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored with Prismacolor pencils, blended with OMS and cut out before adding a stand to the bottom. Is it just me or does she look like she's ready to take over the world??? lol!

Join us again tomorrow for the next part of our TSG Birthday challenge!

Happy Birthday TSG!

Did you guys visit the TSG blog today??? If so then you know what the icon above means and what you have to do to get a ______!!  If not, you may just wanna go over there to get the scoop ;)

Today I wanted to share a card I made for this week's Ribbon Carousel Challenge(which is sponsored by me this week :) and the challenge is to use at least two spool items on your card/project. I used two of my favorite spool items- Vintage Seam Binding and Divine Twine.

It has been quite awhile since I've paper pieced an image and I decided that it would work perfectly for this image from the newly released stamp set Pumpkins On The Vine.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday TSG!

TSG122-One layer with pop / Newest Trendsetters!

Have you guys seen the new Trendsetter announcement on the TSG Blog??? That's right, today begins another term of Trendsetting and we have got some great talent joining us for your inspirational pleasure :D

I have been up to my eyeballs in work but I managed to get some stamping in this weekend thank goodness because I really wanted to participate in this week's TSG challenge as well as the Ribbon Carousel challenge.

The card I have to share today was made for the TSG122-One Layer With Pop challenge. The challenge is to create a one layer card that has all or part of an image popped up on dimensionals. I used the newly released stamp set Fabulous. The popped up flowers were stamped onto DP, cut out and adhered to the card base using dimensionals. I then added some sparkle to the flowers with a Stardust Gelly Roll pend before gluing rhinestones to the flower centers.
