The storm...
life can be full of trials and tribulations. Everytime I'm boohooing my circumstances, I meet or hear of someone who really has it tough. It helps put things in perspective for me, but my problems still bother me of course...that's why I draw so much comfort from our Christian radio station. Those songs lift me up!

More Fabric
I started another card this weekend and just finished it up this morning...using more fabric! Did you see all of the great ideas for stamping on fabric in the Blog Hop? Check out my last post if you missed it...
Last week I saw a wonderful fabric flower on Artistic Avenger's blog and I thought about stamping my own piece of muslin instead of using a patterned fabric. I didn't even know the colors of my card yet but I grabbed Boudoir Blush because I thought it would look nice with one of the Victorian Elements stamps. The rest came together quite quickly and easily - especially since I CASED the layout from that same card.
Card Materials: all stamps and papers from The Angel Company
Stamps: Victorian Elements, Chair-ished, Hope Perches, Fanciful Vintage and Love you
Accessories: Caboodle paper pack, text paper, manilla tag, muslin, brown button, MS border punch, Boudior Blush and Burnt Umber palette ink
I didn't hear back from my winner for my last blog candy so the next person in line was Holly! I'll be sending you your prize this week. :)

Card Club Quickies
In the newest catalog The Angel Company has changed up their Stamp of the Month program where you can now purchase a hostess level A set during a particular month...a couple of rules apply, but no matter what you decide, EVERYONE benefits!
How? Well the design team has been hard at work and you can see their cards over on the Savvy Projects blog here - featuring August's Card Club stamp, Happy Leaf. Mischelle Smith, the owner of TAC, has been equally busy and came up with some stunning samples here.
I don't have this stamp set yet but I was eager to play along. Especially since The Angel Company will now have monthly sketches to inspire you - called, Card Club Quickies. I started a tab on my blog so that you can get to them and get inspired, FAST!
I dug around my stash and found this old hostess set that had the same feeling as Happy Leaf. I used one of the three sketches and some paper/ribbon from the Mia's Cottage Soar with it Collection. I used two products on this card that you might not even know that we carry! Scor Tape and Kaleidacolor Pads. These multi color pads are so fun to use for a solid image like this - quick and easy!
Lovely place for a photo...on my driveway! But I was chasing the sun yesterday and my options were limited.
PS. I have BLOG CANDY on my last post - so far there are only two players!! I will extend the sign up deadline to Thursday, midnight...that actually makes more sense since I will post the winner on Friday. It's a Christmas in July theme! :)

Retiform Blog Hop
I remember teaching the Retiform technique over 8 years ago at an AC Moore in North Carolina - yikes, that's a long time ago! I haven't really favored the technique and was unsure about today's blog hop...until I saw a video tutorial by Heather Scott about a "Modified Retiform" technique. And that's what I did here - which I love!
Every once in a while there is a card you come across that will knock your socks off and you just have to go back and visit the blog to relook at it. That is the case with Mischelle's card at the start of The Angel Company's blog hop: Savvy Projects Blog. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT MISS this card!! :) Here's a sneak peek...
You have 5 days to play along and there will be some prizes awarded at the end! I tell you, I am having so much fun this week! I know it's going to be a great month and I hope you will find time to play along...If you are unsure of how to do this Retiform technique, there are some great tutorials online at the Savvy Projects Blog to help you get started!

Victorian Elements T-3029, Give Praise to Him T-3338, Love you TB-3362, Angelee Collection V-843, Kraft cardstock -244, Flourishes Impressionabilities K-304
