Tonight's hop started at the There She Goes blog!! If you are here now, you should have come from the SUPER talented Jessica's Blog!!

For my card, I used this SUPER CUTE dog with snowman image from Torico's new set along with a past sketch of Jen's. I paired it with some SUPER cute Paper Studio paper I got at Hobby Lobby for 50% off...yaaay. My image was stamped on an MFT perfect panel, and then colored with Copics. I then layered it with Ruby Red, Garden Green and Fossil cardstock. My ribbon is from SU, my button from MFT, and my snowflake is from Heidi Swapp. My fossil layer in the background was ran through my Cuttlebug with the snowflakes embossing folder. I used my SU modern label punch for my sentiment.

Gobble, Gobble..nom..nom..nom....

Welcome to day 2 of this month's There She Goes Blog Hop Release Challenges. Tonight, we have two new sets to show you, so we better get to it!! If you just got to the hop, head on back to the There She Goes blog to get started!! If you are here now, you should have come from Jess' blog!!

Just in the time for Thanksgiving! Torico has illustrated this fun and adorable Turkey that has a lot to say ;) Not only can he hold a sign designed to say 7 different sayings but he also has his glass and fork ready just in time for the big dinner.

Gobble is a 3x4 stamp set that includes a total of 13 of stamps and will sell for $7.

One of the biggest trends in stamping right now is using a sewing machine to stitch directly onto your hand stamped cards. While this technique gives a very detailed look, it can be a little frustrating trying to master! No worries, TSG is here with a quick and easy way to get that stitched look you love! This mini set not only has some beautiful silhouette border images but it also includes two styles of stitching that will give you that stitched look you are after.

In Stitches is a 2x6 stamp set that includes a total of 7 of stamps and will sell for $7.

Would you like a chance to win the Gobble! / In Stitches stamp sets? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Gobble! / In Stitches 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. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own Gobble! / In Stitches stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday (Oct. 30th) during the Release Party Chat.

For my card tonight, I used the new Gobble set, along with one of Jen's Sketches. I paired it with Hot Fudge(MFT), Really Rust, and More Mustard card stock. My DP is from an old SU pack. The ribbon I used is from Michael's, and my brads are as well. Isn't that saying hilarious??!! I LOVE it!!
