Trendsetting Tuesday- Tangii Crain!!

Hello TSG fans, and welcome to this week's Trendsetter Tuesday post!! This week, we are introducing another one of our NEW Trendsetters, Tangii Crain!!

Here is a bit of info about Tangii, if you don't already know her :)

I have chosen three of Tangii's cards today, but they are all fabulous, so be sure to check out her blog!

The first uses the new Dream In Color set from artist Megan Suarez.  I LOVE the gorgeous, fun colors she has chosen, and the little gems in the center just make them POP!

Here second card uses the Nutmeg set, also from Megan Suarez. Tangii has done a PERFECT job of showing off how FABULOUS and SPICY this Spice Girl is!! Her fun, funky patterns, and the additions of the hearts and that fun sentiment panel...awesome!

For Tangii's final card, I chose one from our recent release! She has used Ship Happens and Shiver Me Timbers...and I just LOVE it!! That map, the torn edges, and all the embellishments are just perfect!!

Well, that is it for me for now! Thank for stopping by, and have a great day!! 

Another Iron Craft Challenge...and a prize!!

One of our FAVORITE Trendsetters, Danielle Lounds, is playing along in a fun challenge today! She is the second of our Trendsetters, both past and present, to be featured in the the Iron Craft Challenge, and we are thrilled!!! So thrilled, that we decided to sponsor a little giveaway, so be sure to head on over to the Iron Craft Challenge blog to get registered to win!!!

If you aren't familiar with the new Iron Craft challenge...think Iron Chef if you will, and she and the leader of the challenge, Chaitali, are going head to head with the Ba Donkey Donk set from There She Goes!!

Be sure to run past and say hi, and to see a full version of their cards. :)
