TSG18- Custom Designer Paper

Welcome to another weekly TSG Challenge! This week the challenge is to create your own custom designer paper using stamps. The challenge was inspired by this gorgeous card made by Trendsetter Angela. I love how she created such a simple yet elegant wedding card!


To be eligible for the $5 gift certificate giveaway, create a card/project that incorporates custom stamped designer paper and then come back to the TSG blog to add your name and a link to your project in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this challenge post. I will be announcing the winner of the gift certificate next Monday (the 7th) and will be featuring a card submitted in this challenge for the Trendsetting Spotlight on Thurs. September 10th.

Happy stamping!

Side By Side Blog Hop Challenge

*The Mr. Linky for Fairy Good Day has been fixed so if you were not able to leave your name yesterday, you can now! I'm not sure what happened, I had it there then it disappeared. Welcome back for day #2 of our sneak peeks! Today the Trendsetters are going to be showcasing cards made with the new set Side By Side. This set has been in the works since before TSG was even created! We live in a very old house (100 years give or take a few) and from what I can tell, it was updated every few decades ;) In our master bedroom we have this old wall paper that is covered with many different country style images. I have loved them since I first laid eyes on them but I really don't care for them being wall paper lol!
Would you like a chance to win this beautiful set??? Then play along in our inspirational Blog Hop Challenge! Go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their SBS Blog Hop Challenge post.

There She Goes is turning 1!

I can't believe that it has been almost a year since I have started There She Goes! This has been such an amazing adventure that has not only let me live my dream of owning my own business doing something that I love but it has also led me to some amazing friendships along the way :) I'll admit that it can get a little crazy running a business while being a stay at home mom but I love it and wouldn't have it any other way.

I want to thank all of you for your support during this journey, I couldn't have done it without you! This first year has been a big learning curve for me and I am looking forward to growing with you for years to come.

I have decided to start this TSG blog so that you will have one place to come for all things TSG related. In the side bar I have a schedule for daily posts and you can click on the Blog Schedule button to see a more detailed description.

We have a lot of fun things in store this week leading up to There She Goes' birthday on September 1st and I hope that you will all join us in our week long Birthday Bash! Throughout the course of the week there will be challenges and games with over 20 stamp sets being given away!! Make sure you become a follower so that you will be first to know as soon as a new post goes up. You never know, there just may be some TSG stamp sets up for grabs ;) But why wait till Monday to start giving things away?? Do you want a chance to win stamps now?! I will choose a random number from the Followers list and that person will receive their choice of ANY TSG Stamp Set in the TSG store! The winner will be announced in my next blog post........
