It's MY DAY to be GUEST DESIGNER over at TAC's Savvy Projects blog!!!

The Angel Company did a bloghop EVERY DAY in the month of May and I was a guest designer for them on May 23rd. To check out more entries, the link is: http://theangelcompany.typepad.com.



The week of May 22nd we used sketch 61 that was designed by my good friend and multi-talented ANGEL, Heather Scott.

The faux scallop border was made by punching four circles, cutting them in half and butting them up against the 5 1/2" strip. Adhere to back with scotch tape. It's a great way to use your left over scraps so I hope this trick comes in handy for you. If you punch holes in the scalloped border, do it before adhering panel to card front.

ALL listed supplies available through TAC via your local Angel: Caboodles Set B (cardstock & Copic markers), Flowers Impressabilities Die, 3/4" circle punch, 2 1/2" circle punch, Lil' Cuties (special edition) stamp set, scissors, adhesive

Aren't you totally amazed at how very different our cards look when we all use the same sketch to begin with? My second card uses cardstock from TAC's paper collection called EMMA. I have changed the orientation of my card from landscape to portrait. The only other liberty that I took with the sketch was to add a thin scrap of patterned cardstock on top of the green strip.

Cardstock: V-376 Limeade, V-373 Marmelade, V-381 Whimsy
Copic Markers: V15, YR68, YG09
Inkpad: Tuxedo Black Memento
Stamp Set: When Spiders Are Seen

My card is brighter than it appears here. The cardstock circle actually has a way cool texture that you can't see . . . since I made a boo boo and ended up stamping on the back side of the cardstock. The cardstock and Copic markers are from our TAC Caboodle Sets D and E.

TAC's Savvy Projects Blog Hop for May is well underway!

During the month of May on TAC's Savvy Projects blog, there is a different sketch each week and a different Guest Designer featured every single day. All you have to do is check out the sketch, make a card using it and click on the linky to add your card. My robot card for the week of May 1st is below. I'm just now getting it posted. May's been a hectic month for me!

CABOODLES (Coordinating Cardstock & Copic Marker sets)

I love that The Angel Company (TAC) has paired packs of cardstock that coordinate perfectly with the oh-so-popular Copic markers and have created 7 different sets (set A to set G) called CABOODLES! It certainly makes the whole process of matching papers to markers a breeze since it's already been done for us by TAC. If you are interested in learning more about these awesome sets, email me at kcangel@embarqmail.com.

TAC "Cupcake Cuties" Blog Hop

The card I'm sharing today was made using an MRO stamp set called Cupcake Cuties. I love, love, love this set and have used it tons. The strip of decorative paper is from our Catelynne collection and the words from "Joyful Notes". For me, those words put the icing on the (cup) cake. The icing is white liquid applique. Thanks for stopping by. Click here to return to the Savvy Projects Blog Hop.

TAC Retiform Blog Hop

This is my first time participating in a TAC Blog Hop...but not the last! I really enjoyed making this card so I could play along. I used the "Mice Day" stamp set and cardstock from the Hip Hop collection. I used the Wizard to complete the center image. Go check out the Savvy Projects Blog to get inspired and see all the cool retiform cards.
