Now accepting Pre-orders for August's Kit

With the new catalog I'm going to be offering monthly kits. My first kit will debut in August :)

August 2008 Kit

You can order this kit any time but the idea sheets will not be available until August 15th.

Why this kit program is AWESOME?

  • There is no monthly commitment. Just purchase the kits you love!
  • Each kit will be different and will be priced between $30-$40. Some kits will be geared more towards scrapbook, card making, altered arts, or a combination of more than one.
  • Each kit will contain products that will allow you to create multiple projects! You'll just need to provide your basic tool kit: adhesive, paper trimmer, scissors, journaling pen, & ink pad(s)
  • Each month I'll also include some optional add-on products that will coordinate with your kit.
  • You'll receive color printable idea sheets available in a PDF file or Word Doc. file that will be e-mailed to you. If you prefer to have one sent to you via snail mail no problem!
  • Your kit purchase also qualifies you to select a free GWP stamp!
  • If you purchase the add-on kit or any other items from the current catalog you could qualify for additional benefits such as additional GWP stamps and hostess benefits if your order totals more than $100!

These are the current GWP stamps. I will have computer access while on vacation so feel free to e-mail any questions you may have.

Last game of the season...

Timothy had his last game Wed. night. He was excited to receive his trophy & medal :) He did really well! He's a strong batter but hates to run...LOL He's decided that he wants to be a pitcher so we'll see. I finally got around to scrapping a layout about his first season of baseball

Timothy

Sorry about the blurred faces, but I wasn't able to ask for permission to share photos of the other children in the photo. Ya have to respect other's privacy :)

Color Challenge #8

This weeks challenge was to create a card using the following colors

Blue, Green, Orange, Brown, & White

Cc08

Doesn't this set just scream "Summer?" All stamps used are from TAC. The main images are from T-2944 Spring Time. For the grass I used the grass image from the retired stamp set Happy Bug Day (sorry I can't recall the item #). The butterflies are from T-2727 Wild for You. "Enjoy" is from T- 2751 Everyday Events and the other sentiment words are from T-1163 Soft Spoken

Cc08c

I sponged the "sky" using a light blue dye ink, and added stickles to the butterflies. Some of the grass and the tree leaves have been cut out and mounted using foam tape. TFL!

It's almost that time again...

When The Angel Company will release the new Fall/Winter 08 catalog. I always find myself reflecting on past purchases... some that have sat un-inked for one reason or another   Thinking so I'm making it a point to use some of my purchases over the last 6 months so that I can justify buying more!  Bounce 


I made this card last night...

Feelbetter

The main image is from TAC's Everyday Events. I colored it using markers & watercolored pencils & a blender pen. I stamped the card base using TAC's that so girly swirly using versamagic ink. The sentiment is from TAC's Ordinary Greetings, stamped using Palette L' Amore Red ink. TFL!

Color Challenge #7

 SmileyCentral.com

Morning All!... ok well it was morning when I started typing this post. Typepad is being finicky today.

This weeks challenge is to create something using the following color combo...

CC07 choices

Here's my card

Colorc1

The butterfly image is from a retired L.E. set by TAC. I stamped it using black ink and then heat embossed it. I used red, yellow, and orange markers along with a blender pen to color it. I then stamped the sentiment from Inspirational Sayings using orange ink. And to give it a little extra something I sponged the edges using yellow ink first and then repeated the process using red ink.

Thanks for looking!

Color Challenge # 6

* I'm not sure what happened to the resolution of the photos, but if you click on them they won't appear blurry. Thanks for looking! :)

Here's my card for this week. Our challenge was to create something using only the colors purple, green, & white. The only exception is that we could stamp our image using black ink.

Cc06a

I also used a large circle from the Circle Sampler stamp set stamp set and stamped it using Palette Giverny Green. I love this green! I then matted the butterfly image to a scallop circle I cut from a light purple cardstock.

I used a 4x4 light purple cardstock for the card base and adhered to it a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch piece of green cardstock. I cut a smaller piece of patterned paper from The Angel Company's' Gentle Beginnings paper pack.

Then I added foam tape to the back of the scallop and adhered it to the front of the card.

Hope you had a great weekend!
