I was really excited about this card because everything but the sentiment comes from one stamp set. I even used Baby Blue Opaque Stazon (which I don't think I have used since I bought it a year ago). Anyway, this card was a CASE from the new Take Ten magazine. I just used my own stamps. I know this was cheating but I just fell in love with this card. I wish I could remember the gals name....she had a whole article close to the back if that helps anyone. It showed how to use white pigment ink and color over with colored pencils once it was dry. Great article! As soon as I get over to my mom's I will update with the name of the person and article.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">Supplies:</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">TAC Butterbees and More</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">TAC Ordinary Greetings</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Baby Blue Opaque Stazon</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Blue and Brown Cardstocks</span><br /></span>Dawnmariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02747410937867040644noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957276457377731871.post-14687157128831539932008-07-01T18:10:00.002-05:002008-11-18T19:12:33.144-06:00Check out my new laptop skin<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbwQ80FS61bhzmLtzZ7GA35VHEPJ3xVe3xI3sauDSBxXNICaCvk4LOzO_dG1Y6mZAVMIsIbRtIgdT0GoDiYgnWjfowCIMYdi4_QTbZZOVkvBWe561zLmbyA3jOMg4tcZ4haGqm2RnDaRLF/s1600-h/346302140dawnmariedavis.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218187090959762562" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbwQ80FS61bhzmLtzZ7GA35VHEPJ3xVe3xI3sauDSBxXNICaCvk4LOzO_dG1Y6mZAVMIsIbRtIgdT0GoDiYgnWjfowCIMYdi4_QTbZZOVkvBWe561zLmbyA3jOMg4tcZ4haGqm2RnDaRLF/s320/346302140dawnmariedavis.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">OMG!!!

The individual squares are 1 inch matted with a 1 1/8 inch square. The middle square is 2 1/8 matted with a 2 1/4 square. I used Marvy Flower Punches and stickles for the centers. The Be Mine sentiment is popped up with a pop dot. The decorated square is embossed with clear EP.<br /><br />I am not sure how I feel about this card yet. It just looks like it needs something. I don't know. Maybe it will grow on me.

Life has totally gotten in the way of everything! But I think I am re-energized! :)<br /><br />I just got back from the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">TAC</span></span> Seminar 2008 and all I can say is WOW! I am so excited! Our Inspiration Books keep getting better and better. I love all of the new sets! I don't think I can find one that I could look over. We had so much fun! I love seeing all of the angels that you do not get to see on a regular basis. The trading was phenomenal! ALL of the trades I got were top notch! Keep up the good work angels!!<br /><br />S.A.S.S.Y.s had a real presence at seminar this year. I think our final number of attendees was 17. I had a blast. Before, I say anymore, I have a little story to tell you...<br /><br />My mom and I were supposed to go to Leadership in San Antonio in January, but at the last minute, unforeseen circumstances kept us in Chicago. We were sad but we knew that my stamp Mom and Sisters would bring back lots of samples and info. At the team meeting following the event, I was presented with Neon, a neon green monkey and a scrapbook. Turns out, my stamp Mom and Sisters saw this monkey and decided to have me there in presence. Holy Cow!!! Talk about awesome!!! They took pictures of Neon doing everything I would have done on the trip (well there was a picture of her sitting on Pat's head. :) If I would have attempted this, Pat would no longer be with us!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">LOL</span></span>!!!) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Anyhoo</span></span>, talk about love!! So I decided to take Neon with us to Seminar and let everyone see her and the scrapbook the S.A.S.S.Y.s had made me.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgppz66iRJZz5pOUVZvkb5wp-VKOuwCRg9EGPQys_AFEELuFCcbgAbx6MQ9TXcRR0Rni4zccBWsT9R_scPDcGPKxRWmPnFK-kaM_snF8j4fIbWcvdjmkGjy45BpSYnOYmaZQvcud5PMtLj9/s1600-h/1Neon.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217487343006731330" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgppz66iRJZz5pOUVZvkb5wp-VKOuwCRg9EGPQys_AFEELuFCcbgAbx6MQ9TXcRR0Rni4zccBWsT9R_scPDcGPKxRWmPnFK-kaM_snF8j4fIbWcvdjmkGjy45BpSYnOYmaZQvcud5PMtLj9/s320/1Neon.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">OK, so now that you know the foundation, you might understand the rest of the story. So Neon had a team shirt, a team bracelet, and her adopted mother, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Lezli</span></span>, even gave her wings. I d<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">on't</span></span> think I could have asked for a better team!! Everyone is so different, it is great! I stayed up late, talked, (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ok</span></span>, so when do I shut up?), laughed, and really enjoyed getting away from reality.<br /><br />Now that I am home, I really intend to do things differently. I have made the decision that I either need to make this happen, or I need to give up. I have gotta get off my butt!!<br /><br /><br />OK.....was this post long enough for one night?

I love swaps because of the excitement. I wait by my mailbox and stalk my postman until they get back to me. LOL!<br /><br />So instead I did some digital scrapbooking so I can share. I really love digi-scrapping cause there is a quick clean-up!!<br /><br />This is my baby monkey, Analisa. A couple of weeks ago we took her to get her hair braided again. I just love her to pieces. She cries while she's there but as soon as they are done, she jumps up and turns into a DIVA. She struts around, flipping her hair and just soaking up the compliments. Unfortunately she knows she is cute. No matter how aggravated I get, her smile just melts my heart!!! Gotta love her!<br /></span><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">I used a kit from Bannerwoman available at </span></em><a href="http://www.digitalfreebies.com/"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.digitalfreebies.com</span></em></a><em><span style="font-size:85%;">.</span></em>Dawnmariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02747410937867040644noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957276457377731871.post-57237709639563330942007-08-07T16:49:00.001-05:002007-08-11T23:37:49.959-05:00I AM GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWAL!!<span style="font-size:130%;">Let me share my frustration. Yesterday, I get home from work only to find out I had no <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">internet</span>. I have <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">DSL</span> with AT&T. I have never had an issue before. Now I would expect that if the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">DSL</span> was not working, the phone should be out too since they run through the same line. I didn't know what to do with myself all night. I could have been creating, but I just wasn't up to it.
