And here is another fun song from our Crafty Math Chick:

(Tune of "Downtown" by Petula Clark)
http://www.lyricstime.com/clark-petula-down-town-lyrics.html

When you're inside
And tired of hiding you can always go
Out-doors
Tired of class and want to lie in the grass
you can re-lax you know
Out-doors
Just listen to the birdies and their chirping in the trees
Lie back on a blanket and enjoy a gentle breeze
Or take a snooze?
The air is mush fresher there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
OUT-DOORS
leave your laptop at home
OUT-DOORS
Turn off your new iphone
OUT-DOORS
but bring your camera & your doll....

To be eligible for the giveaway today, you are to take a picture of your paper doll in an outdoor setting of your choice. Then, add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post.

Stampbook Saturday ~ Holly

****We have a winner! Comment #4 (Sassy)****

Here are your random numbers:

Timestamp: 2011-09-07 02:25:08 UTC

Hello ya'll!

Today I'm bringing you a special edition of Stampbook Saturday! In case you're not familiar with what Stampbook Saturday is, it is where one trendsetter creates a scrapbook page that is inspired by a card or project made by a team member.

I chose to make a page based on this fun tri-fold tag I made a week or so ago:

Here's what I came up with:

I thought it was so timely to do something with the school theme, seeing that many are putting their kids back in school last week and this coming week.

You'll notice that I did not put in pictures. That's because this is not for me! My youngest is nearly 17 and a Junior in high school. EEK! He'd beat me if I put his picture in these! ha! Also, the little girl that is attached between the spots for pictures is velcro'd on. I have a little boy figure too that can easily be swapped out.

Instead, here's what I'm going to do.... If you'd like to win this set, simply make a comment here and tell us your fondest school memory. You have to do this before 8am EST on Tuesday September 6th. At that time, I will draw a random number (random.org) and that person will receive both the tri-fold and the 6 x 6 layout.

Want it?! Well get to commenting!

Hugs!

There She Goes Clear Stamps is turning 3!

It's so hard to believe that TSG is celebrating its THIRD birthday! I am so thankful for the people I've met and the friendships I have formed through this 'hobby' (we all know that it's soooo much more than that lol) and I am excited for all of the things that the future holds. TSG wouldn't be what it is today without all of YOU so to celebrate, TSG is going to be giving you presents all month long :)

FIRST: Do you love a sale? How about one that last an entire month?? How about one that applies to ALL products in the store?! That's right! Simply enter the code tsgbirthday3 in the box located in your TSG shopping cart and you will receive 15% off of your entire order all month long no matter how many times you order!!

SECOND: All month long (except for release week) we will be hosting fun challenges here on the TSG blog Monday-Friday with prizes being given for each of those challenge days! Participate all month long to increase your odds of winning :)

THIRD: The Trendsetters will also be taking turns on giving away mini stamp sets on their blogs. You will know who is giving away goodies by spotting this icon on their TSG blog post. All you need to do is leave a comment on that post and the blog owner will choose a winner using a random number generator from the post on October 1st which gives you guys more than enough time to track down all of the mini set blog posts!

Introducing- Our newest Trendsetters!

Today is an exciting day because not only is it the start of TSG's Birthday Celebration but it's time to announce the newest Trendsetters to join our team of amazingly talented artists! Before I unveil the newest members to our team, I want to send out a huge thank you to out friends- Ann, Christine, Tammy, Danielle, and Kim for all of their hard work in providing all of us with beautiful samples to enjoy every single week. It has been so great getting to know all of you and I am so thankful for the friendships that I have made! Jodi will also be stepping down from the Sr. Trendsetters for awhile but I'm confident that she can't stay away forever. We wish her all the best and hope for a speedy return ;)
