Home Sweet Home



It's my first official blog hop as a Trendsetter! Today we are featuring the new set Home Sweet Home that will be available Saturday night! I hope you have arrived here from Faith's blog but if you haven't you can head over to the There She Goes Blog to start at the beginning! After you have left a comment on each of the Trendsetter's blogs, be sure to go back to the TSG blog to enter your name in the Mr. Linky for a chance to win a Home Sweet Home set of your own.
I used my new Indian Summer paper by Basic Grey (I'm a Basic Grey fanatic you will soon see!) to compliment this sweet sentiment. I colored my vase of tulips with my prismacolor pencils and the vase has added sparkle from a spica glitter pen. The ribbon is double sided faux suede and is de-lushous! See that fancy smancy watermark?! Thanks Jessica- I love it and it makes me official! Now, get to hopping to your next stop Jackie (another newbie to the team!!)
Stop back tomorrow to see yet another new set from There She Goes!
"Home Sweet Home"
stamps: Home Sweet Home (There She Goes)
ink: black
paper: melon mambo, basic black, whisper white (SU!); Indian summer DP (Basic Grey)
accessories: ribbon (May Arts); swiss dots embossing folder (Provo Craft); circle, scallop circle and curved rectangle nestabilities (Spellbinders); lace doily border punch (Martha Stewart); prismacolor pencils (Sanford); rhinestone jewels (Hero Arts); black spica glitter pen (Copic)
