Oswegofest Update

I had a blast at Oswegofest! I shared a booth with my good friend, Heather Duke (she has a photography business) The weather was perfect, we had a big 10x10 tent, and the perfect spot!! I made a lot of connections with potential new customers and and even sold some cards and mini albums! Woo-hoo!! Here are a few pictures from the event....

Oswegofest

I've been busy preparing for a booth event that's coming up this Saturday at Oswegofest. I wanted to share some items that I made to sell. It's so hard to decide what to spend your time on when you're preparing for something like this. You never know what people are going to like. We'll see what happens!

Challenge Winner

I send out a monthly newsletter that offers information about upcoming promotions from The Angel Company, tips, techniques, project ideas and I also offer challenges from time to time. My challenge in August was to design a card using a sketch that I found from pagemaps.com. Participants send me a picture of their creation and then I put their name into a hat. I send the winner some fun stamping goodies and also post their creation on my blog. The winner for the August challenge was Diana Snead. Check out her great card!




Diana used TAC's Miss Moxie Soar With it Collection paper. I just love the rich colors!! If you'd like to receive my monthly newsletter, you can sign up in the right column of my blog.

Take A Look Tuesday Challenge

My friend, Nicole, offers a challenge called Take a Look Tuesday. The challenge this time was to make a card that was mostly orange. You can read more about the inspiration for the 'orange' challenge here.

My husband and I got IPhones last week and I thought I'd see what the picture taking quality was like. I put my card in my light tent, just like usual, but I only set up two lights instead of my usual three...so this isn't the best quality, but I had fun snapping the picture and then emailing it to myself with the IPhone. I think I'll stick with my regular camera from now on, though. :)

Supplies:

Butterfly Bits

Orangerie Palette Ink
Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder

Misc. orange and white cardstock

Post-It Note Holder

I found a great Post-It note holder tutorial over at Emily Giovanni's blog. Emily stamped some flower images inside her circle, but I just couldn't decide on what stamp set to use. As I was scanning my craft area, my eyes fell on my Bazzill Bitty Blossoms and that's when my design fell together. For you ladies that are members of my Technique Club, this is one of the projects that we'll be making at the end of the month. :)

Supplies-

Willoughby SWIC

Sweet Goodies stamp set

Mega Scallop punch
Bazzill Bitty Blossom

Burnt Umber Palette Ink

3x3 Post It note

misc. brown, cream and green cardstock

brown ribbon
brown brad
