Monday Sketch #85

Today's sketch is layer happy!  be sure if you give it a try you leave a linky and link back to here so we can all see your creation!

I am battling some sick yuckiness this morning - got a fever and everything!  I started getting sick at the crop on saturday and by the time I got home and unloaded I had a fever and just felt like crap!    I think the fever is setting back in so I might just stay in bed all day!

By the way Copaganza was FABULOUS!!!  I just love that crop and the energy of it.  Such a fun group of croppers!  I did miss Em, Carrie and Jennifer who were not able to come this time - but they all came by and said Hi!

Today is the LAST DAY for the surprise box!!!!  I have one extra here and would like to sell "shares" of the box for $25.  If you are interested e-mail me!  I can also order you your own - in fact add just $25 of  order to it and you qualify for a party!  Double benefit time - means 2 half price items and 2 level A hostess sets too!

Right now you can sign up for just $50! 

Which is an outstanding deal - especially since you get a special Lucky Girl stamp set free with the $50 paperwork only kit.  TAC also just announced that our LOW quarterly minimum will remain at $100 thru all of next year too!   We have a new commission plan set to go into effect at the first of the year - which is SO exciting especially if you are looking for a career or even just a little extra money.  If you have any questions or are thinking it might be a good time to get on board - email me!  I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

be sure you check out these other specials too!

Today is the last day for the August vintage set and Stamp of the month too...

My card for sketch 84

My card for this weeks sketch was my swap card at a recent team event. I was inspired by the color combo first, then chose the stamp set and the sketch developed from there. If you have a chance to give the sketch a try be sure to leave a linky and link back to here so we can all see the different applications of the sketch!

I used the Scallop punch to get the "Ticket" corners on the little tag.  And you can barely see the light grey swirls behind the dragonfly because I stamped first onto scratch paper and then onto my piece to get a sublte grey swirl.  

I hope you get a chance to give this sketch a try - it is a super fun one!

Monday Sketch-a-roni

Today's sketch is inspired by my swap card from this past weekend. I made one to trade with each of the angels who joined me for our Oz-some Weekend! If you have a chance to play with the sketch be sure to add your linky and link back to here so we can all see the different ideas shared.

I cannot say enough about this past weekend - it was the best to date I think!   We go out to Living Water Ranch in Olsburg Kansas.  let me tell you the road to this place is scary in spots - but once you get there it is SO worth it!  It is a Christian retreat center and the couple who own and run it are just wonderful!  We had our normal building for the weekend - which includes a dorm for 50 and 4 private rooms.  We also had a few stay in other cabins too. 

We had a card swap, we each brought a "shoebox project" for everyone to make, product challenges, image challenges, contest for cards, scrapbook page and a 3D item, LOADS of prizes and LOADS of creativity shared. 

 One of the funniest things from the weekend were our picket signs.  We have a tradition on our team at meetings and gatherings etc to call people out when they are talking bad about themselves or diminishing their talents.  We call that inner voice "Towanda".   You know when some one compliments you and you down play it instead of standing proud and accepting the compliment.   So we had picket signs for when we heard someone being Towanda - we would all grab a sign and wave it and chant 'Down with Towanda".  It was Hilarious!  We had other signs with other things on them too like "How cute is that!"  and "True THAT Sista!"

Little sleep was had - Lots of laughs.  All in all a FANTASTICAL weekend! 

The kids are off to school today  - ah the silence!!!    I have LOTS of prep to do this week for my upcoming crop in Park City(near Wichita) this weekend - Crop-a-Ganza!  I am planning a few classes - to include a Savvy keychain, Double Flip Album and hopefully a Scrap-Tastic layout and cards class!  Lots to do and pack and oh goodness - I gotta get to work!

TAC sent our all demonstrator copies this week - and they are beginning to arrive in our mailboxes!  I am SO excited I got mine yesterday and was too busy to share!  (I was wallowing in the silence at home since the kids started school!  Yeah right you know I was out running running running!)

It is pouring here this morning and the kiddos stayed up way too late - so they are still sleeping!  We have GOT to get started on the back to school bed time and wake up!  I have to admit though I am gonna let them sleep as long as they want this AM!!!

Be sure to check out my other post from this morning which was supposed to be last night - I participated in an Angel Art Blog Hop with images from the new TAC catalog.  It is so cool to see what some people are doing with the new stamps!  Be careful though it will onlymake you want to buy more stamps!

I stamped the dragonfly multiple times without re-inking to give the look of him fluttering and flying - It make him look 3D!  I also went over top of him with the Stardust clear glaze gel pen -it gives him an understated shimmer - not too much for more masculine cards.

So who is my lucky winner and what did she win???  Laurie Willison - who finally got Mr Linky to play nice with her for a change!  :-)  Congrats Laurie!  I am sending you off a goodie box tomorrow that includes a little mini album kit with directions, a stamp set, a stardust gel pen, and who knows what else i can squeeze in there.
