SFYTT....SO excited!!


Guess who's sponsoring this month's Sketch For You To Try???  


We at There She Goes are SUPER excited to be playing along with Jen and her FABULOUS SFYTT team this month, and even MORE excited that Jen asked us to play along!!




This month's sketch is FABULOUS, so be sure to play along!! Jen has all the details about how the SFYTT works, which you can find on her blog, I{heart}2stamp!!




For my card today, I needed yet another sympathy card, so I decided to use the GORGEOUS Forever set from Torico. I paired it with a sentiment from the Here For You set. This card is going to someone very special to me, so I wanted it to be perfect. I stamped my flowers on X-Press It blending card, and then colored them with my Copics. I cut it, and it's Black Licorice layer out with my Circle Stax Die-namics. My paper is from the Lilybee Designs Victoria Park pad. I also used Pink Pirouette and Going Gray card stock, along with Black Vintage Seam Binding from the Ribbon Carousel, brads from Michael's, and the Open Bracket Border Die-namics. For my sentiment, I used the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics.

Well, that is it for me for now!

Here is a list of the There She Goes girls playing along this weekend!!  Be sure to head to Jen's Blog for a list of all her designers!! Enjoy!!


Crazy 4 Blue, White, and....

Hey Everyone! I am running a little late tonight, but when you see my card, I bet you will guess why if you know me at ALL. 
It's time for another challenge with the Crazy 4 Challenges crew, and Cindy is our hostess this month.
The first challenge this month is a Color Challenge. Blue, White and add another color of your choice!!~

If you decide to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C131. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.




For my card tonight, I needed to make a sympathy card...I actually need several of them. They make me sad to make, so I only make them when I need them. I started by stamping my Inspired By Flowers 2 image on Sweet Tooth, and lightly colored parts of it with my Copics. I then stamped my sentiment from the Clearly Sentimental about Sympathy set on Sweet Tooth, then cut it, and it's Pacific Point layer with my Circle Stax Die-namics. My Dizzy Doily Die-namics layer was cut out with Black Licorice. My paper is from the Authentique Journey pad. I used Michael's brads, Seam Binding from the Ribbon Carousel, and the Faux Crochet Border Die-namics.


For the inside, I used another sentiment from this set, and the same supplies.

Here are the Die-namics I used:





Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to blurf around and see what my teammates have created for you to see!!

For my card tonight, I used the new a la mode Martini's on Me set. I had SUCH a hard time deciding which a la mode to use for teaser night, that it just HAD to be my Pep Rally set, lol! I stamped her on X-Press It Blending card and then colored her with my Copics. Her dress was paper pieced with Lilybee Designs Handmade paper. I cut her out with the new Circle Stax Die-namics, and then layered her with the Dizzy Doily Die-namics in Wild Cherry. I used the Mini Doily Die-namics in So Saffron, and the Circle Stax Die-namics our of the Handmade paper, for my sentiment circle. On top of it, I put a martini glass cut out of with the Let's Toast Die-namics, and used the Fishtail Banner Die-namics for my sentiment. My background was created using the Fishtail Banner Die-namics as well. My brads are from Michael's, and my ribbon is V Striped Twill in Red from the Ribbon Carousel, and Lemon Drop Twine, also from the Ribbon Carousel. My other card stock colors are Sno Cone and Sweet Tooth.
My card is for this week's Ribbon Carousel challenge, as well!! This week's challenge is "Spring in the Air". Spring makes me think being outside, bright, cheerful colors, spring break, and parties...I combined the three, and came up with this!!



For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and another sentiment from this set.
