Teaser's Day TWO!!
Today is day two of this month's My Favorite Things teasers, and today we are showing three ADORABLE new sets!! Our new Fred Bear Fishing, Emma Playing Mommy, and Wyatt the Conductor. I loved all three sets so much, that I decided to use all three today, LOL!! Lots of eye candy, if you will!! First, some business!!
Today, there is a prize hidden on one of the designer's blog posts.

As always, you can find the master list of participating designers HERE Kim's blog.
Okay, so there is a lot of card in this post, so let's get to it!!
For my first card, I used the new Fred Bear Fishing....gosh, I love Fred!! I paired him with some Good Morning Sunshine DP from SU....it was just perfect for him!! For my sentiment, I actually cut it apart, so that I could use only the You're. The dots were added with my Copic pen.
For the inside, I used the rest of the sentiment, some more yummy DP, and my Cuttlebug and Circle Nesties. I have seen some of the other talented ladies on the team finishing their cards with circles on the inside, and I wanted to give it a whirl!! My sketch for this card was a recent sketch on Mercy's Blog.
My sun was made with my Die-namics, some more DP, and a piece of Summer Sun cardstock. I love that you can layer them...SO FUN!!
For my next card, I used my Emma Playing Mommy. Isn't she a PEACH??!! I just love the new Emma and Wyatt sets, and this one is no exception!! She was paired with some Retro DP from DCWV. I paper pieced the stroller, colored parts of it, cut it out, and added it on top of her. I put some brads on the wheels, too. I love the shoes....SO CUTE!!
For the inside of my card, I used more of the same supplies. Isn't it just fun??!! I also forgot to mention that my sketch is a previous SFYTT.
I don't know if you noticed, but I used one of the NEW Die-namics being released on Wednesday!! It is our new Rounded Banner Trio Die. It works the same way as the pennant die, and was made to make a banner with three parts that layer together. I used it in a different way, to add my sentiment on!! I, also, only used two parts of the trio...but you get the picture, I'm sure!!
For my last card, I used the new Wyatt the Conductor set....SO FUN!! My DP is from the K&Co. Hopskotch pack...super fun for kids cards!! My sketch is this past week's Mercy's Tuesday Sketch. Isn't he a CUTIE??
For the inside, you all are going to think I am crazy, but I used the new Notebook Edge Die-namics being released this week. I used it to cut out a piece of DP, and had it flipped the wrong way. When I saw how it looked, it made me think of trees...I know, right?
So I decided to do the other edge the wrong way, and kind of going up hill. Then I stamped my train, colored it with Copics, and cut it out. I cut off part of the trees, so it wouldn't be in the way, but I thought paired with this sentiment, that it really worked. I know, I'm nuts.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by!! Before you go, here is all the need to know info!!

Crazy 4 Challenges- Lattice
This week's challenge over at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog is a challenge to use lattice work on your card or project. You can use punches, dies, stamps, paper, or scoring, like I did, the sky is the limit!! Wanna play along? Here are the details!!
If you would like 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 C4C52. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

This month's challenge is to make a card using your sentiment as the main focus on your card. This is something I NEVER do, so it was a challenge for me. This card doesn't go along with what my norm is, but it is always good to step out of your comfort zone a little, right? For more details on this month's challenge, check out the SCS Member forum!!
Now that I am done talking your leg off, here are some details about my card. I stamped my sentiment on a piece of Gina K. White with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I then layered it with Hot Fudge cardstock. The other colors on this card are Pink Pirouette and Wild Cherry(MFT). I used my Scor-pal to make my lattice work on the DP layer, a piece of Bella Rose DP to be exact. My brads are from American Crafts, and my ribbon is from Michael's.

A Groovy SFYTT
While the rest of the My Favorite Things team were busy showing you sneak peeks of the SUPER CUTE new Groovy a la mode set, I was up all night, sick as a dog, with a migraine...yes, again/still. I just can't seem to shake this one!! It is ok-ish today, but not great. Anyway, I had started this card, then, but just couldn't get it done in time, so I decided to finish it and show it today. What's ALSO cool is that fact that it goes along with this week's Wednesday Stamp Club challenge, to use flowers!! For more details, check out the SCS member forum!!
Looking back now, I am SO GLAD I waited, because it turned out EXACTLY like I wanted...and I LOVE it. My image was colored with Copics, and although I got the peace sign a LITTLE bright, I still love it. I then layered it with Bashful Blue, Old Olive, and Hot Fudge. My DP is from my DCWV Retro Prints pack....gosh, I love that paper. This card is ACTUALLY what got me using it again, and now that I have done two other projects with it, it is finally getting to see the light of day.
For the flowers that I put on the outside, and the inside, I used my new Flower Trio and Leaf Trio Die-namic. I used almost every flower that was cut out, yaaaay me!!lol!! I also used some American Crafts brads, and SU ribbon.
My sentiments, both inside and out, were punched out using my SU modern label punch. I also used the super cute Open Scalloped Die-namic.
I almost forgot to tell you that I used one of Jen del Muro's SFYTT for my layout!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

There She Goes- Believe in You
Well, it's day #3 of our sneak peeks! I hesitate to say we've saved the best for last as they're all the BEST! However, today's set is another Torico illustrated set.
A year ago TSG friend Teresa W. came to Jessica asking for a school themed set that was versatile enough that teachers could use it to make projects for their students instead of just the other way around. As soon as she started working with Torico, she knew that she was just the artist to illustrate the perfect images for this set! Believe In You includes many adorable school themed images along with sentiments to create projects for your teacher as well as from :)
Believe In You is a 6x8 stamp set that includes a total of 37 of stamps and will sell for $24.
Would you like a chance to win the Believe In You stamp set? Here’s what you need to do: go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Believe In You Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog to 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 Believe In You stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday (the 28th) during the Release Party Chat.
The first stop on this hop is Danielle! If you are here now, you should have come from my girl, Jessica's blog.
For my card, I used this past week's Taylored Expressions sketch. I love this cutie little girl, and this has to be my favorite saying in the set.....it's perfect!! Jess and Torico have outdone themselves this release, yet again!!! I did stray from the sketch just a tad by letting my sentiment circle hang over the edge....but I like it!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great time on the rest of the hop!! Next stop, JODI'S BLOG!!!

There She Goes- Dream A New Dream
Hey Everyone, and welcome to day two of this month's There She Goes Blog Hop Challenges!! Today's set is called Dream a New Dream. This beautiful floral themed stamp set was illustrated by TSG artist Chris Dark. We have all come to know and love Chris’s amazing talent for realistic stamp images and this set is no exception! The variety of sentiments are great for many different card types and because the images are so detailed, coloring is fun and easy- no more worrying about how to shade!
Dream A New Dream is a 6x8 stamp set that includes a total of 18 of stamps and will sell for $24.
Would you like a chance to win the Dream A New Dream stamp set? Here’s what you need to do: go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Dream A New Dream Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog to 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 Dream A New Dream stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday (the 28th) during the Release Party Chat.
The first stop on this hop is Chris! From there, you should have come from my amazing and wonderful friend, Jessica's blog....she's all the brains and brawn behind this wonderful stamp company!!
For my card tonight, I decided to use this past week's Sweet Sunday sketch. My colors and DP are all from SU(Razzleberry Lemonade DP, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango cardstock), as well as my ribbons. I got a LITTLE carried away with the brads, but hey...I love them!! My image was colored with Copics, then cut out with my Cuttlebug and Circle Nesties.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by!! Next stop on tonight's hop is one of my other amazing, wonderful, and talented friends, JODI !!!!

SFYTT I Ruff You
Hey everyone!! Before There She Goes has our next release, on Saturday the 28th, I wanted to take this opportunity to play with some of this month's stamps again!! It always seems like when a new set of stamps are released, I get focused on those, and forget all the oldies but goodies. This set, that probably won't happen with because it is just TOO DANG CUTE, but still!!
I started with a past week's Sketch For You To Try, and my Puppy Love set. I wanted to stay pretty masculine with this one, because I kinda know who I want to have it....of course, he has seen it, and when he looked at it, and read "I ruff you"....I think his head exploded...LMBO!!! Oh well...right?
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
stamps: Puppy Love
ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
paper: Black Licorice, Old Olive, Gina K. White, Summer Picnic DSP, and MFT Perfect Panel
accessories: Black brads, spiral clips, SU ribbon, Michael's ribbon, Copics, Cuttlebug, Circle Nesties, circle punches
