Masculine

This week TAC is sponsoring the mid-week throwdown challenge at Stars & Stamps.  This particular blog is part of Operation Write Home.  If you don't know about it, you should check out their blog.  It's all for a great cause!!!

Well, lucky me, I just completed a swap with 4 friends and guess what?!  My card was masculine.  It fits perfectly with the theme of the challenge.  Of course, I used one of TAC's newest stamp sets.  BTW, if you haven't seen the new fall supplement, you are missing out.

Good Things T-3381

I used my Copics to color this great image.  Not sure about my color combos because I don't write them down.  I just start coloring.  I have to say that I'm super proud of the results.

Let me know what you think!

If you're looking for any other challenges, stop by other lovelies.  We are traveling through the alphabet and today is the letter H!

Have a thoughtful Thursday!

Thanks Patti

Many thanks to Patti for her great explanation on the origin of Labor Day!

That was a bunch of information!!

Patti, if you email me your snail mail address, I'll get your candy in the mail to you.

Thanks again!

Scary Christmas

My friend Barb started a new blog. It's all about Halloween. Every Monday she issues a challenge. I'm trying to participate this week. Her challenge was to create a creepy Christmas card. I'm not sure mine is creepy but hey I tried!

You can't see the stickles but the purple ornaments are done with them. The Merry is crossed out and with the stardust glitter pen scary is hand-written.

It needs something. I'm not quite sure what. I'll keep playing with it and show you what I tried.


Have a supreme Saturday!

Today is my blogiversary!!! I can't believe I've been posting here for 1 year!!! Wow, time sure flies.







Normally, I wouldn't post on a Saturday but being the day that it is, I thought it was fitting.







This particular card is from a summer swap I just participated in.








I'm also going to randomly select a blog candy winner. The candy is the August vintage stamp set. You can see this by clicking on the links at the bottom of the page. (Unfortunately, the website has not been updated, so I'm unable to show you these stamps.) All you have to do is comment as to why you like THE ANGEL COMPANY for a chance to win.






Hope your weekend is wonderful!

Art Share

A while back I posted about a share your art project that I was doing. I was just going back over it and noticed that I have 2 spots left open. You can see it here and decide whether or not you'd like to be one of those 2 people. Decide soon though because my goal is to have those projects completed by the end of next week. (Barb - yours will arrive soon.) When I have them all finished and they've been received, I will post them for everyone to see.





Have an awesome day!!

Share your art

I was hopping a few minutes ago and found this on Barb's blog. It sounds like tons of fun so I'm going to do it too.

The first 5 people to respond to this post will get something made by me! Could be a card with which I am really pleased, a doodle, or something else all together LOL! My choice!
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make although I hope you do!
2. What I create will be made with you in mind so you won't get something I already made unless I think it suits you to a T.
3. It'll be done sometime within the next 2 months.
4. You have no clue what it's going to be.
5. The catch is that you must offer this blog candy on your blog! Re-post this on your blog, offer something you make - your choice - to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog (then come here and post). Oh wait make that the first 4 people cause I am #1 {giggle}

Yep be sure to add my name to the #1 line on your blog post - I am the first participant and I am already offering to share. When you create your give-away you will be the #1 spot for players 2-5 on your list. The first 4 people to post this on their blogs and leave a comment here telling me they did (I will go to your blog to check that you have this posted) will get an art share handmade item from me. Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! SO ...................who will be next????

1. Barb
2. Maria
3. Suzann
4.
5.

Can't wait to get started!!

2 things!

First, we are quickly approaching my 2000th hit!! I cannot believe it. I have promised blog candy at that time. When I've reached it, I'll make a post with further instructions.

Second, I noticed that I have 12 followers. I like even numbers for swaps. Would anyone be interested in participating in a monthly swap? I'll be the hostess. If you're interested, let me know. It will be cards/card fronts only. I'll try to make it themed. Can't wait to hear from you!!

Wow!

I was just visiting some other blogs. You have to check out all this blog candy that this lady is giving out. I hope that I'm the winner. She had a couple of catches to the blog candy but this is where you can find it:

Have a great night everyone.

hello

Well, I was scrolling thru my pictures to see what I haven't shared with you. Guess what?! Everything that I have a picture of, I have all ready shared it with you. So, I should get busy. I'm having a stamping afternoon with Janie on Monday. I'm hoping to have some inspiration in the meantime. I'm kind of in the dumps as far as stamping goes. I need some mojo. Anyone have some to spare. Anyone know of any sketch sites that I can scope out to get my juices flowing? Please, please help me!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!

I promise to have something new for you Monday evening.

Please check back!

Inspiration

Well, I've been super busy here. Trying to finish up Evan's gift, I've run into a slight snag. Quite truthfully, I don't know how I'm going to fix it. I've also been trying to find inspiration for the catalogue design call for TAC. I have found plenty of inspiration. I've now got to find the time to implement. Ha! Much easier said than done I assure you.

I've decided on the 5 projects that we will be doing at the 2nd Completely Christmas class. Here they are: 2 cards, 1 gift card holder, 1 gift tag and 1 gift bag. If you're interested in doing these items or have friends that might be, please let me know. Right now I have 5 interested but 2 aren't able to come on the date I originally had said. It was only tentative so we can probably work around that. I'll keep trying. I'm willing to go ahead with 4 or more. So, it looks like we are on girls. Now, let's just find a date that makes us all happy. I'm working on that one. I email each of you personally.

Well, I just wanted to give everyone an update since I hadn't posted in a while.

Bad day!

Soooooo, I'm having a bad day. No biggie, we all have them. I just thought posting here would get me OVER IT all ready!!!

What better way to get out of the doldrums than to make fun of yourself right?! Well, check these pictures out!!!






Don't I look B-E-A-utiful? This is at TAC seminar this summer. We were coming back from boa's and bling night. It was late and of course, I was a little punchy. That thing in my hair is actually a fluorescent necklace. Anyway, I thought that it would hold my hair back and I could wash my face before bed. Then, that one curl fell down. And hey, what about that big zit between my eyes? Now, I'm getting ready to date myself so don't laugh. I said don't I look like Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley? Then, of course, the picture taking began. It was so much fun.

Guess what?! I'm a little better now!!!

I've been working on my craft room today. I've been labeling inks and stamps, cleaning off my work table and working my way to straightening up the floor too. I'm having people over next Friday and I want them to be able to work in my room if they need too!! If I ever get it the way I want it, I'll take pictures. That's my project for the rest of the week. I think that I have too much stuff. Maybe I should downsize a little. hmmmm!!! I'll have to consider that.

Remember to make fun of yourself. Have a great Friday.
