Eek! I've been tagged!

My friend and customer, Ginny, writer of A Crafter's Chronology, tagged me for the eight things you didn't know about me meme. When tagged you must list the person who tagged you and post the rules. At the end of the post you must tag and link to 8 other people.

1. I'm a Christmas fanatic.

2. My favorite colors are red and purple.

3. I was born in Pennsylvania.

4. My alma mater is the University of Texas, El Paso.

5. I was Leadership Development Co-Coordinator on-campus for three years - some of the best times of my life.

6. I have proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

7. The number one reason I continue being a demonstrator with Stampin' Up!® is because I LOVE showing people how easy it really is to create beautiful cards and gifts for others.

8. If I could live anywhere in my known world, it would be the central Oregon coast.

OK. Not sure how many people I'll be able to tag, but here goes!

-- Ann with Stamperdog.com

--Cheryl with Engineered Expressions

I don't have time to tag anyone else right now, but if you want to tag yourself, GO FOR IT!! :D

Hope you had a GREAT weekend!!! :)

Did you accomplish a lot this weekend??? I was busy busy yesterday! And it RAINED!!!! Everything that actually SURVIVED the drought is looking a bit perkier, that's for sure!!!! :D

This is another card from the Let's Get Punchy! class. We used Designer Series Paper - this one's made from Rose Red - and the large tag punch. We just folded them up and back, stuck them in place, and put a rhinestone brad through the middle to finish it up! :) The card base is So Saffron, with a layer of Certainly Celery. The lighter top layer is Glossy White that we sponged with Certainly Celery. :) Easy!

Well, dear friends, it's time for me to get busy. :D Have a WONDERFUL day, and remember: TAKE TIME TO STAMP SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I've been TAGGED!!!

Rachel tagged me! Here are the rules, from her site:

1) Send a card to someone you know within 7 days! (family, friends, associates, cyber people, etc.) ANYONE!!! Doesn't matter who... just do it. Can you imagine the smile on their face when they open their mailbox and see a card from you?

2) Tag 5 people you know to do the same thing (Tag means tag them to send their own cards to their own people).


3) Proudly display this on your blog to spread a little sunshine and pass it on.If you get tagged again (we can all hope, can't we), send another card! (WORKING ON THE LINK/PIC!!!!)

SO! :) Now, I have to tag five people! Here's my choices:

1. Elizabeth
2. Leigh
3. Michelle
4. Sarah
5. Jan

These ladies all have INCREDIBLE websites! Go check them out!!!!

Titles are back! YEA!!! :D

OK, girls, if you're on the Tennessee Stampers list, PLEASE don't say anything for a couple of days about this card! :) This card was made using some handmade background paper; it's for a swap called "Same But Different". Several of us received strips of different yet similar background papers, and we have a partner we send one to, and also one to the swap coordinator. THIS is what I came up with. :)

Using the large tag punch for the petals is really popular now, and when I saw this background paper, I knew I had to try it. :) It was a little difficult to match the colors of the other things I used, but I like the way this turned out. :) Sorry it's a crooked scan again; dimensions and my scanner bed just do NOT cooperate!!!

ANYWAY. The background card stock is the new IN COLOR, Soft Sky. The background stamping and the "happy" are from Polka Dots & Paisley, and are done with Not Quite Navy. The center punched circle is Regal Rose, and the button is So Saffron. I'd love to hear what you think of the card!!!!

We've been having a lot going on around here; my parents have been off on an adventure, and we've had flooding and a bad freezer to deal with. :) I'll be glad when they get home!!!! It's kind of curtailed my ABILITY to be creative for the week; everything's covered in plastic. :D But I'm looking forward to receiving my FIRST new Idea Book & Catalog order on Monday!!!!!! I SO cannot wait to have new toys to play with! That ALSO means that my 10/10/10 classes next week will get to play with some new toys, too. :) Hope you can come!!!!

Have a wonderful day! Take some time to STAMP!!!

Gosh!! Can you believe it?!?!? Tagged TWICE! Here's what I have to do:
* I must post 7 random things about me
* Tag 7 other bloggers to do the same.
* Post rules and the bloggers I tagged here.
* Leave tagged bloggers comments on their site so they know they've been tagged.
So. Hmmmmm. :)
1. I HATE lima beans!
2. I have diabetes.
3. I'm a sanctified, born-again, blood-bought child of God!
4. I used to teach leadership development seminars.
5. I have two younger sisters.
6. My husband and I were caught in San Francisco on 9/11; we were there for our 5th anniversary.
7. My favorite spot in the whole wide world - that I've found so far - is room 201 of the Surfrider Hotel on the beach in Oregon.
