Happy Birthday TSG + Bonus Prize!!

Hello!!  I have a super fun post for you today and its all because There She Goes Clear Stamps is turning 3 this month!  Each of the TSG Trendsetters are giving away a FREE MINI SET and today is MY day to treat you to some blog candy!  Woot!

All you need to do to be eligible to win is leave me a comment here on this post between now and October 1st and I'll pick someone through a random number generator to see which of the comments is the lucky winner!  Easy as pie!

TSG is hosting a NEW challenge this week that you'll want to take part in too!  Everyday this week (Monday-Friday) Jessica will post a piece of a project she has created using multiple TSG stamp sets and it will be up to YOU to name which stamp sets were used in the piece shown that day. Comment moderation will be turned on so that it will be fair to all participants. At the end of the week a winner will be chosen using a random number generator from the correct answers.

So in the spirit of celebrating birthdays this month, I made a fun little birthday card!
I used Make a Wish for this card and stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copic markers.  The layout is the September Sketch For You to Try from Jen Del Muro, which was SO perfect for this image and sentiment.  The patterned papers are 6x6 Blink of an Eye by My Mind's Eye - so cute!!

Don't forget to stop on by the TSG blog to get all the details for this week's challenge - fun prizes await!

Thanks so much for stopping by -
Karen

paper: kraft, choice buttercream (taylored expressions), blink of an eye (my mind's eye)
