HHN Challenge #2 and 50% off ends TODAY!

The word for this weeks His Holy Name Challenge is Sovereign. I am doing a bible study/stamping challenge hosted by Patter Cross. You can see all the other participants challenges galleried here on Split Coast Stampers. This challenge has been good for me spiritually and creatively. I actually used Rose Garden (T2745)! I have pulled out that stamp set so many times, but I have never been able to put together a finished project with it. I have to say, I really like the way this page turned out and I am so happy that I finally used Rose Garden. Other Supplies used to create this page inclued: VersaMagic Inks in Aloe Vera, Tea Leaves, Pixie Dust and Pink Petunia, TAC's Fly With It Catelynne Collection and buttons from our Ava and Audrey embellishment jars.
This page is 6x6 so I think it would be very easy to adapt into a 5 1/2 square card.

I wanted to just remind everyone ONE LAST TIME that TAC is having a 1/2 price sale on all T-coded stamp sets. I have an order going in tonight! I am willing to guarantee the 1/2 price sale to anyone that can email or call me with their order by 10pm tonight. If you need to look at the stamps on line you can visit TAC's website here. My email is risa_v@hotmail.com or call me at (847)922-6795. Now is the time to get all those stamps you have had your eye on while saving BIG.

Seems kind of small news after the announcement of the new Magalog, but here is a card I made. It was the last of three from my December Masterpiece Card Class. I used TAC's Mimi Soar With It Collection of pattern papers and cardstock with Spring Time. I just love the tree in this stamp set. It even has a tire swing that you can add among the branches. Spring Time is a $19.95 stamp set, but until 1-26-09 you can get it for just $9.98. Now is the time to pick up this perfectly seasonal set at a great savings. Email or call me if you want to get in on TAC's 50% off sale. I can only honor the price if you get your order to me BEFORE 10pm CST on Monday 1-26-09. Happy Half Price Shopping.

A Card, Stamp of the Month, and a Splitcoast Challenge

Here is a little card that I did for my December Masterpiece Card Class. It is very similar to a card that I made for The Angel Company's Spring/Summer 2008 just a little more jazzed up. I used TAC's Catelynne Fly With It Collection (V851), Lilly Anna Cardstock Collection (B314), Wild West (T2633), and Everyday Events (T2751). The cowboy is colored with PrismaColor Pencils and OMS. The star and Cactus are paper pieced from scraps of Lilly Anna cardstock. Cutting little shapes is so much easier with my newest fab find Kai's 4 inch scissors (C1220).

Stamp of the Month for January is awesome. I can not wait to get mine. This great set is cool for backgrounds and it's a great way to add the little finish your card might need. What makes this set even better is it works with your standard return address labels to make the perfect wrappers for Hershey's Nugget candy. Check out The Angel Company Stamp of the Month page to see a cute Nugget Box made by Vicki Hook.
This set is only $9.75 with a $30 purchase. This month making your $30 purchase is easier than ever! Remember all T-coded stamps are 50% off. SALE ENDS 1-26 so get those sets that have been on your wish list 50% off while you can!


As a way to get a Bible study into my schedule, I decided to join a challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. The challenge is on the names and attributes of God. There will be a new name or attribute every other week, for a total of 26 challenges. I thought that it might be a good way for me to study the Bible. It is kind of a study in paper, ink and stamps. So far the study has been a blessing. I thought I would share my first challenge with you here on my blog. I used TAC's Catelynne Fly With It Collection paper (v851), Ava and Audrey Embellishment Jars (G704 and G703 respectively) and my pages will go into our Blue 6x6 Album ( K404).
