TSG #193 photo inspiration


It's time for a new challenge at There She Goes and this week we have a photo inspiration for you to use from our uber-talented Sandra.


     As you can see I picked out the colors, hearts, and even the word LOVE on the little pillow to incorporate into my card.  It's been quite a while since I did any paper piecing but I decided to give it a whirl on the tree.  Yikes!  I didn't realize how many "top" hearts there are on there.  And yes I did cut each and every one out plus the tree trunk.  You can see it a bit better in this pic.



     To be eligible for the giveaway, create a card or project with the inspiration photo, 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 (February 11th). 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 TSG193 so we can check out your beautiful work!
