Stampbook Saturday With Sandra

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great Saturday so far. 

Did you see all the fabulous cards showcasing the Oh Snap set yesterday?! I love that set! It's a perfect set for stampbooking too - did you check out Heather's page...gorgeous!

I was so inspired by her layout, Torico's card and Wendy's stampbook page that I created a little 8x8 page using the Oh Snap! set.

Don't you LOVE that background?! I used the smaller images from the set and some white ink to create it! And because it turned out so great, I kept the photo and other elements to a minimum. Other stamps used from the set are the 'frozen in time' sentiment and the 'date taken' image.

I hope this inspires you to create your own stampbook page today!

Thank you for stopping by and we hope you've enjoyed TSG (Again!) week!! 

TSG (Again!) ConGRADulations!

Hi there TSG fans! It's Tobi here and it is day three of "There She Goes (Again!)." We are featuring 3 "classic" sets from our fabulous selection of stamps. At the end of the week on Friday the Trendsetters have been hard at work coming up with fresh inspiration with our TSG (Again!) sets. 

If you are ever in need of inspiration for a particular set, we have some busy little bees hard at work  to keep our Pinterest Board stocked full of ideas. The boards are organized by stamp set so it's extremely user friendly! 

Just in time for the end of the school year we are featuring 

ConGRADulations: 

($15)

Here are some fantastic ideas to get you in the graduation frame-of-mind: 

I love this "scrappy" card from the illustrator, Melyssa. The colours are gorgeous!

Debby shows us how to work this set CAS-style!

And Sandra brilliantly pairs the image with some fun school papers... LOVE this one!

Join us tomorrow for our display of NEW Trendsetter cards! You're in for a treat this month ;)
