Hello, hello! I had just purchased a brand new batch of stamps from THERE SHE GOES when I learned about TSG's third annual MOTHER OF ALL BLOG HOPS, and I thought, "It's fate! I must participate!" TSG's fabulous Trendsetters (aka design team) and customers like me are all coming together to show you a lots TSG goodness as you blurf this Mother's Day weekend.
First off, I'd like to share with you a wee somethin'-somethin' I made with the brand new A LITTLE TREAT set...
Those of you who read my blog on a regular basis know I love a good foodie image, and this is one of the cutest yet! Take a closer look at that scrumptious cake Ms. Chef is showing off...
As you can see, the icing is covered in Baby's Breath Art Glitter, popped up on foam tape, and topped with adhesive gem 'strawberries.' Delicious!
Speaking of delicious, since we've been home from Carter's surgery (my 7 year old had major orthopedic surgery a few weeks ago and is homebound, recuperating for the next several weeks), my family has been so blessed to have lots of friends and neighbors bringing us meals. In fact, I've discovered the most HEAVENLY-but-easy spaghetti sauce recipe I'm going to have to share with you soon. In the meantime, though, I've got lots of thank you notes to write, and fortunately, TSG's BON APPETIT was perfect for creating a colorful, clean-and-simple thank you that was just right for mass production. See what I mean...
I made a dozen of these to have on hand over the next few weeks...
Lots of TSG's fun and fabulous stamps will be featured by MOABH participants today and tomorrow, so be sure to stay tuned. As if seeing such yummy inspiration wasn't treat enough, you've also got the opportunity to win fantastic TSG prizes! For all of the details/instructions, be sure to visit the There She Goes Blog.
