From little acorns........


     I think I've gone nutty! ☺  More acorns today.  My squirrels have actually left me a few to use for props.  
     This clean and simple card was made using two different sized acorn stamps from the There She Goes Clear Stamps "Pumpkins on the Vine" set.
     There's a new challenge up at the TSG blog and my team mate Kelly has provided this photo inspiration of her favorite drink, Pumpkin Spice Coffee.
     To be eligible for the giveaway, create a card or project using the inspiration color challenge, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (November 5th). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

     By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the lookout to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)

     You do not need to have a blog to be able to participate in the TSG Challenges! You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword TSG179 so we can check out your beautiful work!
