TSG187 Last Minute Christmas

This week our challenge is brought to us by our Trendsetters! With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we all have to rush around to get things done…and sometimes, we forget a thing or two!! This is a challenge for all those last minute Christmas ideas, cards, and projects you may or may not need!!
Today I dressed up an ordinary kraft bag to make it more of a gift. My parents are moving soon so we all got them different gift cards from local businesses in their "new" town. I wanted to package them in a nice way, so here it is:

I used the Santa from HoHoHo and the sentiment from No Peeking. I made these for teacher gifts as well.

To be eligible for the giveaway, create a card or project for any of your last minute needs, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (December 31st). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the lookout to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)

You do not need to have a blog to be able to participate in the TSG Challenges! You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword TSG187 so we can check out your beautiful work!

Sparkly and Bright, Again!

Can you tell I just love this set!! Second time this week but I didn't get a chance to show you this cutie. Her expression is so perfect. I made this card for my niece's 14th birthday. She quite a yound lady now so cutsie cards are just not cool. I thought this would be perfect.

I colored her up with copics and paper pieced her sweater to match the varied papers I have behind her. The card matches the sketch for this week's challenge at There She Goes (TSG186). There is still time to join in the challenge. Stop by the blog for details.

Candy Cane for You!

 

 

Do you think Christmas is on my mind?!! I am not done shopping yet and have to get started on baking this week, but I love it. I love everything about this wonderful time of the year.

 

 I made this card for the Sweet Stop sketches challenge this week and for the inspiration challenge yesterday at Splitcoast. I really loved coloring this elfish girl from Whimsie Doodles and she looks adorable in her green overalls.

 

I love this sketch from Sweet Stop - tags are a great element to add to cards and a great way to bring different papers and angles into the card. The sketch is here:

Holiday Cheer!

Today the trendsetters bring you new projects using some old favorties from There She Goes - Holiday Tags, HoHoHo and No Peeking. For today's project, I made a tag that I plan to hang on a bottle of wine as a quick and easy, yet super adorable, gift! I chose the Santa from HoHoHo and mixed it with the sentiment from the newly released Holiday Cheer. I just thought this sentiment went so well for a bottle of cheer.

Be sure to stop by the blog today at There She Goes to see what the other Trendsetters have come up with today!

Toadally Cool!

 

 

Here is a card I made over the weekend but didn't get a chance to post here. I have been busy working on some C-U-T-Eness coming your way from There She Goes. There will be sneak peaks next week so be sure to stop back. This upcoming release is really adorable.

 

Back to my card. I used the toad from TSG Toadally Awesome and made a Clean and Simple thank you card. This was for the 200th CAS challenge at Splitcoast and I made this card to the word PARTY (plaid, argyle, ribbon, toad and yellow). There are a bunch of challenges up there to celebrate the 200th so join in!

 

Thanks for stopping by today. Stop back tomorrow for a look at a tag I made to go on a wine bottles for a quick and easy holiday gift.

Shake Things Up!

 

 

Here is a card I made for the Sweet Sunday sketch challenge using the new Snow Globe stamp set and die from There She Goes (love this!!). Inside the globe, I stamped the snowman from Holiday Cheer. There are so many other images that I have that will fit in this globe which I can't wait to try. I am loving this Christmas paper from Crate Paper This and That, especially the plaid. I paper pieced the snowman's scarf with the criss-cross dsp and added a button and twine to match the sketch shown here, turned on its side (SSSC173):
