There She Goes Preview | Day THREE

Welcome back to day three of TSG sneaks!  It's an exciting week here for There She Goes and the Trendsetters have a fun little blog hop to kick off the new release - PLUS you have a chance to win some goodies, so keep reading and find out the details. The hop started off at There She Goes, but if you came to my blog from Jessie's, then you're at the right stop.



Peacocks, and hippos and snakes, oh my! Judy Rozema was our lucky winner from this year’s Mother Of All Blog Hops and one of her prizes was the chance to work with TSG to design a stamp set in a theme of her choice. She said that she would like a fun zoo stamp set that incorporated some animals that are different than you might find in other stamp sets and we knew just who the perfect illustrator would be for this! Melyssa’s adorably whimsical zoo animals will have you going wild!

Zoo-pendous is a 6x8 set that will sell for $24.

Hee hee!!!  You are seriously going to LOVE this set - it's so cute!  There is a little something in there for everyone!  I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with copics - I've never seen a snake look so cute!  I used a Wonky Rectangles Nestabilities to cut out the background.  The kraft paper is embossed with the polka dot embossing folder by Quickutz.  I used my corner rounder on the sentiment to make it look like a little tab tucked in between the cardstock layers.  I used more Lime Twist Fly a Kite paper from My Mind's Eye and the sketch is Sweet Stops's SSS116.

Would you like a chance to win the Zoo-pendous stamp set? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Zoo-pendous Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog and add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own Zoo-pendous stamp set. The winner will be announced Saturday July 30th during the Release Party Chat.

Next on the blog hop is the super fabulous Melyssa!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Karen
