TSG Blog Hop Challenge - This is My Life

Here we are on our first day of There She Goes blog hop challenges for June!! We have four days of peeks for you

Torico has designed a set that will be useful to card makers, scrapbookers, and multi-media artists alike. This is my life helps you tell your story, your way. Super cute images, fonts, and the number of sentiments and their possibilities are endless.

This is My Life is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 21 stamps and will sell for $15.00.

I decided to make a tag to show off one of the fun sentiment possibilities from this set.

I used the PTI Tag Sale #1 die as my base fo the tag. I stamped the sentiment in Momento tuxedo black ink and colored the word "special" with copics (RV09, RV06).   I added some MFT razzle berry CS and some PP from the Echo Park Hello Summer 6x6 paper pad.  I used the MFT prima donna petals Die-Namics to create the flower.   I added some PTI harvest gold saddle stitch ribbon and some MFT hemp cord.  

Would you like to win the new This Is My Life stamp set? Here is what you need to do-visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post. 

You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday, June 29th with the winner being announced during the release party chat.

It's a sketch challenge this week on the There She Goes blog and I played along with one of the new stamp sets that will be released this weekend!  Technically we are not sneak peeking this set until Friday, but today I am giving you a sneak peek of the sneak peeks of the new Pandamonium stamp set.  

I stamped my image in Momento tuxedo black ink on X-Press It blending card and colored it with copics.  I used the MFT circle STAX Die-Namics to cut and layer the image.  I used some PP from the Fancy Pants Designs Love Note 6x6 paper pad,  I added some white vintage seam binding and a black button.   I stamped the sentiment in MFT black licorice ink.

Here' the sketch:

Meet Sandy and her Sombrero!

I stamped the image in Momento tuxedo black ink onto X-Press It blending card and colored her with copics.  I stamped the sentiment in MFT black licorice ink.  I used the new MFT Washi Patterns stamp set and the washi tape Die-Namics as an accent.

MFTWSC129 - Sunrise Fishin'

Happy weekend!  It's a beautiful day here in the Boston area!  

Before I head outdoors for the day, I wanted to play along with the MFTWSC129 challenge which gave me a chance to ink up something from my latest haul from MFT.  

I am playing along with the new Pure Innocence Gone Fishin'

I paired some PP from the Echo Park Hello Summer 6x6 paper pad with some MFT sweet tooth, black licorice and orange fizz CS.  I used the MFT fishtail flag STAX and circle STAX Die-Namics.
