More Cards with NEW STAMSPS!

I'm having a ball with the images I stamped while at Seminar. I've ordered some of them so I can have even more fun! The new Scor-Bug is awesome too. I'm finding all kinds of uses for it.

On this card, I used the Scor-Bug on the white panel around the image and on the left side of the card, on the brown cardstock. I colored in the heart with the Stardust Clear Gelly Pen. Adds a nice sparkle! The paper is Rustic Chic. I use it a LOT!


This little guy is for my brother- and sister-in law. They are expecting a baby, so I sent a "non-gender" congratulations card. Isn't he cute?!?!?! I used Stickles on the bubbles to make them glisten.

TAC Sale and Cracked Glass

The Angel Company has discounted their discontinued accessories by 25%! That means you can purchase these non-stamp items while supplies last. The bad news is that my beloved Designer Dries Clear glue is discontinued. The good news is that you can stock up on the glue and tips for 25% off! Just be sure to get them before they're gone.

Click HERE for a complete list.

This next photo isn't the greatest picture of a card that isn't the greatest either. I decided to go ahead and post it even though I'm not totally satisfied--it just didn't turn out like my mind's eye had it looking! LOL! It does look somewhat better IRL, though. ;-)

I used the "Cracked Glass" technique and got one HUGE crack in it. I decided against remelting the embossing powder because you can't go back and re-break *real* glass!

The image was colored with Prismacolors and oderless mineral spirits. The paper is from TAC's new More Mimi double-sided collection (and ivory ultrasmooth).

I *have* to post this card tonight!

Ok, I just *have* to add this one since I just now went over to Laurie's blog and saw her card here. I PROMISE--I made mine a week ago and never even had Laurie in mind when I made it (unlike the previous post's cards)! LOL


New Cards

I've been playing with the fun images I stamped at Seminar and thought I'd share a few.

The following cards are sort of in honor of my friend Laurie. She is such an artist when it comes to stamping, and I love her stuff! She loves...polkadots. I decided to try some myself and added them to this girl's dress--on her puffy sleeve and the ruffle at the bottom of her dress.

Here's a close-up to see the sprinkles on the cupcake (made with Souffle pens), the polkadots on the dress, and the Stickles on her wand and wings. The saying is "Happy Birthday...with sprinkles on top."

This card looks very "Laurie" to me in style, and it was tough for me not to add extra ink to the edges and keep in "clean and simple." I didn't attempt the gorgeous large bows that Laurie usually does, though! It's very hard to see, but the scarlet paper has little hearts (from TAC's new PWP set) stamped in Versamark Champagne Frost. I LOVE this stuff!!! Just a hint of sparkle on top of the watermark.

A few Seminar Pix to share

Thought I'd post just a few pix from Seminar before I go to bed.

This first one is for recognition as a member of ClubMED (Managers, Executives, Directors). Because The Angel Company will be implementing a new Career/Compensation Plan, ClubMED as we have known it will no longer exist. Mischelle Smith (owner and CEO) called us her "senior class." ;-)

This is the gang I hung out with quite a bit. Front row: Amy K., Laurie W., Brenda H., Sarah G. Back row: me, Jennifer C.

Good news! I got recognized as a "Catalogue Designer" too! Can you look thru the catty and guess which one?!?!?!

Me with Mischelle Smith after the banquet where I received the honor of "Rising Star." I always thought it would be cool to earn a crown, and I was shocked that I actually did!!!! ;-)

One of my roomies, Amy, and I had the same top for the banquet--just a different print pattern! LOL

Home from Seminar!

I'm home from Seminar (The Angel Company's annual convention) and wanted to make a quick post. This is the front of the new catty...

...and this is the back!
You can see more samples and info on Mischelle's Blog--she's the owner and CEO of TAC.
The new catty is AWESOME!!! New stamp sets in every style. AND...Mimi paper is now double-sided! Yippee!!! We now have the Scor-bug for use with the Scor-Pal. I just HAVE to have this little wonder tool. ;-)
I'll post more later, but off to take a nap...zzzzz...zzzzz. I'm soooo tired!
