Fond Farewell Blog Hop

Today we "angels" want to honor TAC for everything TAC has done for us! The last 6 years of my life have been so wonderful to me! Lots of friends, lots of love, lots of great memories that will be on my mind forever! I will certainly treasure in my heart!

I remembered the first time I was introduced to TAC, I want ALL the stamps in that catalog, I was sooo excited that I want to switch companies (I was with Leaving Prints) but the "angel" didn't want to recruit me, she didn't want competition, yikes!!! So glad that happened because then I found Jackie Baugrud online and she welcome me to her Creative Cherubs team! So blessed to get to know her and call her my friend! I sooo love my mamma!

Through her wisdom I started with the right foot! and through the wonderful tips and advice from my dear Ginger I did the Perfect Start Program, those first 3 months were sooo specTACular that I still remember when I submitted the last order I need that last day, remembered all the support from the Customer Service girls (Betty, Shannon, Shari, Jodi and another sweet girl that started with TAC by that time, I couldn't meet her in person)

During my first year I made it to Manager!!! I was sooo excited that DH pushed me to go to Seminar! oh mine, I was scare! but as soon as I got to the shuttle bus everyone there welcome me with so much enthusiasm that I felt like at home (Della Sue, Sandy Gordon, Denisse and others! thanks!) I was late for Club Med and I didn't want to go, but the girls insisted I have to go, so on my way I found Jessica Shaw (from HO) that was screaming run Diana, run! I was in shock, she knew me!! Right there I found Jackie and Ginger and the "Creative Cherubs" the rest is history. I never missed a Seminar (and I almost didn't go to the last one, so thankful for the special angel that did that dream come true, love ya!)

Talking about angels, I want to take this time to talk about our most wonderful angel: Mischelle Smith. I want to say thanks to her, because with her dream she helped so many of us! She inspired us, she was there for us and she get out the best of us! Thanks to the Smith (Kevin, Boy and Sophie) also to Mary and Cathy, thanks for making me feel part of the family! I remember the first Seminar! I was so scare, so confused (if you think you don't understand my English now, ohhhh you have to be thankful you weren't there the first year, lol) but even with all that, they were so supportive and so nice to me! and I mean I really bother them that first year, oh well, I did it every year, lol! Thanks with all my heart!

Oh well, I am not going to keep this because I am going to start crying again, so wonderful memories, so many blessings, hope you enjoy the ride with us visiting others blog as a tribute to the most wonderful Stamping Direct Selling company out there (even when this economy didn't let us continue!) TAC will always be in our hearts! TAC helped so many of us to deal with a lot of things and best of all TAC made our dreams come true and through this I have made so many angels that I call my FRIENDS!

A card to share!

Here is a card I did for the Online Seminar Celebration at the Paper Wings Forum last week, the Challenge was: Remaining Neutral ("almost") so what you can do was to use: Black, White and Kraft cardstock and an extra color! It was a real challenge for me, lol! I want to add more color, but I finally glue it together, lol! Hope you like it, by now I think it looks pretty and elegant, what do you think? BTW I used a new set called: Delicate Florals.

Off to cut the rest of my stamps, lol!! I can wait to start playing with them.

*************************************************************************************

Les comparto una tarjeta que hice la semana pasada para la Celebración del Seminario En línea del foro Paper Wings (un foro exclusivo para Angels!). El reto era Neutral (Casi) asi que lo que podías usar era: Negro, Blanco, Kraft y un color adicional! Fue realmente un reto para mi, jeje! Quería ponerle más colores, pero finalmente la pegué para evitar la tntación, jeje! Espero que te guste, ya me estoy acostumbrando, se ve bonita y elegante, qué crees? Oh, el sello es uno nuevo, llamado: "Delicate Florals".

Me voy ya a cortar más sellos, jeje! Estoy loca por jugar con ellos.

Love,

Did you miss me?

Oh well, I missed you! I missed to post here soooo much!! Hope you still read my lil blog, lol. Last week was FULL of birthdays celebrations so I was busy, busy!! then Saturday I had a Christmas Gift Class and I was also working with the preps for that! (we had so much fun!!).

Today I want to start sharing a card I did using a sketch from a Motivational at the Paper Wings Forum! We had a Holiday Celebration Event and there was lots of challenges and inspiration to help us out, I couldn't make it either to the celebration BUT yesterday night I did some of the challenges so this WHOLE week I will be updating with those projects PLUS the projects from my class!! Have a wonderful week!

*************************************************************************************

Que mucho extrañé venir por aquí! Echaba de menos publicar "updates" de mi!! Espero que todavía lean mi pequeño blog, jeje! La semana pasada estubo llena de celebraciones de cumpleaños, así que estaba ocupada, ocupadísima!! entonces el sábado tuve una clase de Regalos de Navidad y tambié estuve trabajando con los preparativos para eso! (Nos divertimos muchísimo!).

Hoy quiero comenzar compartiendo una tarjeta que hice con un "sketch" de un reto del Foro de "Paper Wings"! Esta semana hubo una celebración de navidad y habían varios retos e inspiración para que ayudarnos a prepararnos con nuestros proyectos, yo no pude participar durante la celebración, pero anoche logré hacer algunos de los desafíos por lo que esta semana iré actualizando con esos proyectos y los proyectos de mi clase del sábado!! Que tengas una maravillosa semana.

I am here!

Have you miss me? I feel sorry! I am very busy with life lately that I haven't been around for a while! This Saturday I have the World Card Making Day celebration and I am working with that too! Oh well! I love to be busy, lol!!

Well here is a card I did this weekend! I am in a Christmas Challenge at Paper Wings and my challenge was to do 25 cards this month! (I still have time, right? lol) I have about 20 done (need to double check the number, but I know I am close, wohoo!) This is one of the cards I did (actually I did 3 like this one! just to save time).

Hope you like it!! I used the Vintage Holiday paper that I love sooo very much (but is discontinued)!! and I also used the Holiday Cheer by Mabelle.

Talk to you later I still need to finish the 4th week of Christmas e-mail to send tomorrow to my newsletter suscribers and finish something I need to send by mail tomorrow!!

*************************************************************************************

¿Me extrañaron? Lo siento! He estado muy ocupada con la vida últimamente y no he estado por aquí hace unos días! Este sábado 3 de octubre voy a estar celebrando el World Card Making Day y estoy trabajando con eso también! (Ven y prepara tus tarjetas!! dame una llamadita para separar tu espacio, quedan pocos!)

Aquí una tarjeta que hice este fin de semana! Estoy en un Reto de Navidad en Paper Wings y mi desafío era hacer 25 tarjetas este mes! (Todavía tengo tiempo, ¿verdad? jeje) he hecho unas 20 (debo cotejar el número, pero sé que estoy cerca, wohoo!) Esta es una de las tarjetas que hice (en realidad hice 3 como esta! simplemente para ahorrar tiempo).

Espero que les guste! Usé el papel Vintage Holiday, que me encanta tanto (pero está descontinuado)!! y también usé el Holiday Cheer (ambos diseñados por Mabelle).

Bueno las dejo por ahora pues aún tengo que terminar el e-mail de la 4ta semana de Navidad para enviarla a los suscriptores de mi boletín y terminar algo que tengo que enviar por correo mañana, wow ya me cansé, jeje!!

Love,

National Scrapbooking Week!

This week at Paper Wings (an Angels Only Forum) we are celebrating NSD week!! and yesterday challenge was to do a Progressive Page!! here is my take! You can visit the gallery here and is open to everyone!

I started using a 6 X 6 white cardstock where I add the picture and stamp a sentiment from Lineart Sentiment, then I add this to a 8 X 8 green cardstock from Mimi. I also stamp and cut some flowers from Graphic Blooms and two strips of Catelynne! I add the scalloped cardstock and mount it on a 12 X 12 Kraft cardstock where I stamp some Flourishes from Playful Parenthesis and a line of dots from Linear Sentiment!

Hope you enjoy it! It was a real challenge for me because I like better the 8 X 8, so at that point I thought my layout was complete!! then to mount it on a 12 X 12, was a real challenge! and I need to point out that I started this journey as a 12 X 12 scrapbooker! can you tell?

Don't forget to go shopping with me here. Remember that during this month and only during this month you can get the Mabelle Favorites set at a special price and with your $30 order you can buy the Floral Vine SOTM and one of each of the Spring into April sets. PLUS, the 25% in all of the soon to be discontinued stamps and the TAC bags while supplies last! WOW, we have a lot going on, RIGHT? so don't wait a little more, get your order in!

To get this even sweeter, I am going to be giving away one of each of the 3 Spring into April sets! Want to get in? Just place an order with me during this month! and you can be the lucky winner, I will be doing a raffle to pick ONE winner! it can be YOU!! don't wait and get your order in (on my site or e-mail me)for every $30 you get a ticket! and if you host a FUNshop or a Catalog Party you get 5 tickets!! Ask me!!

Love,
Diana

Go Green Project!

WOW! I have been lost, right? Well so much work to do! but I can tell you I have done a lot! including packing a bunch of paper and I also set aside another bunch to sale on a garage sale soon! why do we buy lots of papers? are we going to use all that? shhhhhhh don't tell DH! lol!

About the project! This was the theme for the Wingers project on Paper Wings: GO GREEN! so I used carboard (from a clean box), to create this little cute house! I love it!! is so cool! I used some Bazzill cardstock strips that you can get from TAC and the tree is from one of our Online Only stamp sets: Early Bird. I need to keep working so this is all for now! I am trying to take a picture of the Blog Candy (enter here) so stay tune!!

Love,
Diana

Can I share with you?

I hope so, becasue I need to share that yesterday I was blog hoping and I found that I was featured on Mischelle's blog!! (TAC's Founder and CEO). I was sooooooo excited! I called everyone on my family to come to my scrap room to see her blog!! My girls was soooooo happy and they hug me!!! lol! They love that card too and I got that set because that was the set THEY loves the most! (I love it, but they was all over it! they even told me that they can give me the money!!) so for them that was something BIG!! and for me, can you tell? oh well! I am just over the moon yet! lol!

Well about the card! I did this card for a challenge at Paper Wings. Is the Inspirational Challenge that I co-hosted with Mary, but now I am hosting the Scrapbook challenge and she is hosting this one and of course I need to do something right? I used the new Victorian Elements from TAC! don't you love this set, is sooooooo yummy!! Okay, about the challenge (I get distracted so easily, lol) was to be inspired with a picture of two lil chocolate cakes with mint filling, STOP please!! I am sooooo hungry now! lol!

Be sure to check Mischelle's blog because she feature some other fellow angels (my very good friends: Vicki Hood, Julie Griffith and Mabelle Ramirez!!) Off for now! I need to get something else done here! yes, I watched 24!! are you a fan? I love it!!

If you like what you see, be sure to go shop here: Victorian Elements and Little Things stamps sets, Cardstock is: Mimi and Brown.
