TAC Savvy Projects for People on the Go

Holiday Sleigh by Guest Designer ... Trudy Osborn

How FABULOUS is this! And did you notice the SNEAK PEEK?! That darling little chipmunk won't officially make his debut until the Fall Magalogue!

This project is SO cool! Our staff went nuts when we saw it! What a simple and FUN way to decorate for the holidays!

Our Guest Designer Challenge for the month of July was to use Mimi. And I LOVE what Trudy did with it!

After covering the sleigh with Mimi, Trudy sealed the entire sleigh with a brush on sealer.

The photo corners all move so that you can easily insert the card for the upcoming holiday season.

On the back of the sleigh Trudy made a pocket to hold the cards not being used.

I can see myself making one of these for sure! LOVE it! Thank you so much Trudy!

Happy Paper Crafting!

At our house it just isn't the 4th of July without RED, WHITE & BLUE; watermelon and a little FUN!

Wendy Johnson never ceases to amaze me with her inspiring creations! Just look at this FABULOUS pinwheel she created! She used a push pin to attach the pinwheel to a pencil eraser. So clever!

Seminar 2009 More Anything But A Card Swaps!

simple. smart. sophisticated.

and polished! I adore this darling little gift designed by Mabelle Ramirez-Ortiz. And I so believe in the semi-handcrafted philosophy! I love to transform projects into my own and here Mabelle shows us how EASILY we can incorporate our semi-handcrafted philosophy!

Look at this DARLING piece of artwork designed by Heather Scott. Isn't this GORGEOUS!

This is so polished and clean! Stephany Hedgepeth designed this sweet little gift and inside was a jumbo sized brownie!

Candi Dierenfield created this charming little flower can. What's even more FANTASTIC is that Candi crocheted the flowers and added them to her creation. I LOVE this touch! All of a sudden I'm so excited ... because I can crochet!
