WooHoo!! Two Posts in One Day

I must be on a roll...LOL I felt so good about getting my blog up to par with all the information about the TAC specials that I decided I wanted to also share a card I just made. It is actually one of the cards for my upcoming class this coming week. The class is called Coffee and Cream with a little bit of Sugar. What a catchy name! The cards will be done in shades of brown and cream and then some will have a little bit of color (sugar). This card I just finished has no sugar on it but I really like the simpleness of it.

Here is what I used:

All supplies are from TAC

Stamps: Distress Designs T-2573

All things of Nature T-907

With Sympathy T-2771

Inks: Versamagic Saraha Sand S-972

Palette Burnt Umber TT-218

Cardstock from Die Cuts with a View Neutrals V-74

Mini Brads Pewter F-775

I will be doing about 4-5 more cards for the class. I will be sure to share them when I get done.

Have a great weekend!!!!

Check Out OCTOBER with TAC

Boy do we have a lot going on in October. The first thing I would love to tell you about is our DOUBLE REWARDS PROGRAM. That's right.....everything is doubled. As a hostess you can double your hostess gifts and also your half price items. An example would be for a $100 FUNshop, order or book party you can get not one but TWO Level A Hostess Sets and not two but THREE Half Price Items. The half price items are actually one for a $100 FUNshop, order or book party so that doubles to TWO and then you get one for hosting a $100 FUNshop, order or book party from me. CUSTOMERS AlSO RECEIVE DOUBLE REWARDS. For every $30 ordered out of the catalog you receive not one but TWO GWP (gift with purchase) stamps from page 5 of the catalog. I would love to come to your home and do a FUNshop, talk to you about a book party or even one large order for yourself. This offer is only good until the end of October.

For a limited time only and while supplies last these bags can be ordered for $15.95 each. The are full of unmounted images from TAC. You will also receive Creative Cling for mounting. A very good deal and a surprise since you don't know what stamps will be in there.

Tooting my own Horn

Yes I am going to toot my own horn. In the five years I have been in TAC I have only been in the Top Ten once. For the month of August I was NUMBER ONE! I knew I had to be in the TOP TEN but I didn't expect NUMBER ONE! Okay I'm done...just wanted to tell the world.

Char (my dear good angel buddy) told me I need to list the stamps I used on my cards in the last post. I will start doing that with my next cards. If you want to know the ones I used in the last post please email me ritaholmes@fuse.net. I will be happy to answer any questions.

Until next time...have a great day or night...whichever time you are reading this.

Playing Catch Up

I thought I better sit down and play some catch up on my blog. Time sure does get away from me.
I have been working on swaps, FUNshops, classes and my semi-annual retreat. Here are some of the cards I have done lately.


This was for a FUNshop I did a few weeks ago.




This was from a Hostess set swap I did.




This was from a FUNshop I did Saturday.



I did a class called No Layers. Here are a few of the cards I did for that. It was actually fun to do something so simple.


This card was stamplifted from a RAK I received from Mary Moilanen.
As for the stuff for my retreat; I haven't completed anything. I am still in the planning stages and it is 3 1/2 weeks away. I better get busy.
It is almost time for my granddaughter to come in from school so I better scoot. I hope to update again in a couple of days.

Vacation is Over!

I had a wonderful time in Myrtle Beach. The weather was great which was a switch from past years. I managed to get some stamping done and even took two beading classes at the local bead store there. My goal is to get some cards scanned and uploaded here this week. I will be announcing TAC's October special this week also. Make sure you stop back by real soon!

On my way to the Beach

I will be leaving in about 8 hours for a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This is a yearly event that I do with 9 other women. It is our 13th year. I am hoping for nice weather and not as hot as Ohio has been. I have my stamp stuff packed and ready to go. If I get some computer time I will be sure to check in. See ya soon!!!

The Holiday Weekend

We've had some gorgeous weather in southern Ohio this weekend. I have done some major housework and also some stamping. I don't have anything scanned that I have stamped this weekend but I went and found a card that I haven't posted. It is my daughter's birthday card. She was 33 in July and she is a very special daughter. She has grown to be a wonderful woman. I am very proud of her. Anyway here is her card:
I just love the CHA CHA paper collection from TAC. It just makes you happy looking at it.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day tomorrow. We are having a cookout with the family.
Have a great weekend...what is left of it!
