TSG114 ~ Glitter, Glitz & Bling / And an Announcement!

Happy 4th of July to all of our friends in the US! Our challenge this week is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the week- Ann. To celebrate the holiday, she is challenging us to add glitter, glitz and bling to your card/projects. There are so many different ways that you can achieve this- glitter, Stickles, rhinestones, shimmer gel pens, etc.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

We interrupt your Monday challenge to bring you this breaking news!
The There She Goes Design Team would like to introduce our newest Trendie...

AMERICA KUHN!
aka Cards_by_America



Hi, my name is America Kuhn and I am super excited to be a TSG Trendie! Thank you, Jessica for the great opportunity to play along side your fabulous team! What an honor!

I am a military wife to my awesome Soldier husband of 11 years (who is also my biggest FAN!).
I am also a proud SAHM to four terrific children.

My papercrafting journey began in 2002 when I was introduced to scrapbooking by a military mom while stationed in Germany. A year later I discovered rubber stamps while searching for scrapbook items in Hawaii and seeing what stamps could do was almost like love at first sight!

I've been passionate about paper crafts but especially card making. It's an addiction like no other that's taken me on a great journey in which I've made some wonderful crafty friends along the way.

I've been luck and fortunate enough to design for several stamp companies along the way. It is my great hope to inspire others as my way of giving back to the great stamping community that has taught me so much!

Welcome aboard, America!
