Tickled Pink Card

2 Days until All Day Crop!

I just cannot believe all the fun I've had in the last 2 weeks! Girl's Night last Friday night was a blast and now I'm back to the drawing board creating lots of new things for us to do on my All Day Crop this Saturday for National Scrapbooking Month! We're working on layouts and cards (workshop card pictured above) and tag books using the Perfect Day paper pack, AND we have the Tickled Pink special promo pack for this month to play with as well! I managed to make 6 layouts and 6 cards just from all the items in the Tickled Pink pack and still have extra papers and embellishments left over! It is such a great kit!

We still have 3 openings for All Day Crop ~~ so if you haven't signed up yet, you may want to send in your rsvp as soon as possible ! Virtual guests can purchase the layout pack, 6 card kit, or the tag book (or all 3) to be entered for each purchase in all the wonderful drawings for prizes throughout the day on Saturday. PLUS your NEW SUMMER IDEA BOOK comes with your order for FREE!! All virtual guests have until midnight Friday to email me their entry: a_sawyer208@yahoo.com PLEASE put PERFECT DAY ORDER in the subject box so if your request gets sent to the spam folder I will be able to discern it from the junk in there :)

I'll be posting pics of the tag book project and the Layout later today, so stop back by or follow this blog to see them .

And as always, {Kiss the ones you love TODAY; I mean it!} ANgel ^j^

Geesh ... How time Flies!

What a wonderful weekend for Easter! The weather was a little cool at sunrise service, but as the day progressed it was really quite fair and we played outside the better part of the day Saturday and Sunday. The pic is Bry playing with some "practice" eggs that his brother and sister were hiding for him in the front yard on Saturday with friends. We colored eggs, ate most of them after the hunt, and played at the pond. Sonya and I actuallygot a few things planned for April and May workshops and the "biggie" being National Scrapbook Day! We're planning an all day crop with lots of activities and prizes to celebrate my 5th month with Close to my Heart ! It's alot of work, but I love planning all the surprises and workshops -- and then teaching them to others... it's alot more rewarding than I ever thought it'd be. So check your calender for May 2nd - and if you live too far away to come in person, contact me about our "virtual Guests List" where you can participate from anywhere, and be entered in all the drawings and prizes!

Well, sorry this post is short, but I just got my new paper packs from the Summer 09 Idea Book (one of the perks of being a consultant) and it's time to play! Maybe I'll post some sneak peeks this weekend..... until then: Kiss the ones you LOVE... I mean it! Angel ^j^

A Beautiful Saturday !!

a Happy day to you all !! This is my next set of recycle pledge cards: It's a beautiful day here and it's been very busy, but I thought I'd catch up and post since I'm on my first blogging road-trip! I;m headed to McDonough Ga to be with my best partyin buddy Dickie! This morning we also celebrated with my aunt Madge -- It's her 64th -- YOU GO AUNT MADGE!!

Don't worry bloggers -- I'm being chauffeured the 2 hours to McDonough -- so I thought I'd use the time to post some new cards for my recycle pledge -- one of them being Dickie's Bday card. This is a technique some call piecing, others have called it "Serendipity" although I don't know why.

You begin with all those tiny scrap that would normally go in the trash -- using a piece of copy paper you paste down all the little pieces after you're done with a project and when the sheet is full you let it dry VERY well and then run it with a Cuttlebug or other embossing folder to unify the pieces and WA-LA -- You have custom paper made from useless paper scraps! The dimension and randomness of the patterns appeals to me. It's like making your own designer paper pack!

I also want to thank everyone who made the Scrapbook Garage Sale such a success, and to Lisa Mosely of CTMH and HOGS for loaning us her house to throw it in Warner Robbins --- what a great way to trade and upgrade for a fab price! I even got some new toys to add to my stash!

A special thanks also to the girls at www.PinkPaislee.com -- I just recently heard about their blog hop this weekend and it really is a trip you should take ! Their design team is phenomenal! Their giving away prizes, too --- so go check it out! Well,that's it for Angel the traveling blogger and ctmh rep. Enjoy your weekend :) A. ^j^
