Spring is Coming....TAC Style

HAD to share this with you!

Validation

My First Bella Card

I'm very happy with the outcome - especially since my husband's comment was (and I quote) "Looks like a designer card." I had a little too much ink when I stamped her and got a big ugly smudge in the middle of her sign. I remembered my stamping mentor saying "Don't throw it away, cover it in card stock."

Stamps from Stamping Bella, colored in with my beloved Sharpie fine point markers and paper from The Angel Company.

I'm So Proud!!!

The boy has one of his pieces featured at the National Bottle Museum's exhibit. (how cool is THAT?!!)

Josh and four other classmate's work are being shown for the next month. So if you missed the opening - not to worry you can still view the show Monday through Friday 10am to 4pm

Oh, and yes, we know the painting is crooked...Fred (the gentleman in charge of the exhibit) wanted to try an experiment to see how many people would feel compelled to straighten the piece.

Another SpecTACular Fun Shop

I'm lovin' my "side job" more and more every day. I get to get together with a bunch of ladies, have a bite (this group is packed with great cooks & bakers), and spend a couple of hours playing "arts & crafts". Today we made mini bon bon boxes and stuffed them with three Hershey kisses (we tried to fit more in, but the cute little boxes just couldn't hold any more than that). Got the instructions off of the Scor-Pal website.
My basic theme for the day was "use the entire buffalo". I'm finding that my attitude of "save everything, because you might need it someday" is not an uncommon idea among paper crafters. I told them to keep the four corners from their bon bon boxes to use to create an inspirational card. I am absolutely kicking myself for not taking my camera - these ladies are TALENTED! My sample card was meant to be precisely that - a sample of what they could create. I really had to encourage them at first, but once they got into it, I was REALLY impressed!

Oh, and a special shout out to my navigator/"Vanna" = ShanShan! Love ya girlie!!

Who Knew?

I was searching on Facebook for a birthday flair to send to my brother-in-law and came across this - I was pleasantly surprised to see that math has a holiday.
