I'm presently in bed with a fractured tooth having major pain radiate from my right jaw, so to make me feel better, I thought I'd share some of my art work with you.  I know, makes no sense, but it keeps my mind off the pain.  I also just took some great pain killers and expect to be sleeping any moment now too, soooooo........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the two stamp sets in the new Inspiration Catalog on page 17, T-3038 (set of 8) called &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.bethg.ismyangel.net/products/Default.aspx?cid=106&amp;amp;pid=103"&gt;artsy owls&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bethg.ismyangel.net/products/Default.aspx?cid=106&amp;amp;pid=103"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;for $21.95 and the &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.betg.ismyangel.net/Products/Default.aspx?cid=151&amp;amp;pid=103"&gt;what a hoot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.betg.ismyangel.net/Products/Default.aspx?cid=151&amp;amp;pid=103"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;set T-3043 (set of 12) for $17.95.  I just thought these were the cutest owls around!  My cards used both of these stamp sets.  The new catty also features another new set on pg. 16 called &lt;a href="http://www.bethg.ismyangel.net/products/Default.aspx?cid=106&amp;amp;pid=103"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;be square&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; set T-3165 (set of8) for $12.95.  I was so excited when I received this as a freebie at seminar this year.  I can't wait to use it.  As soon as I do, I will post a card for you to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out the black and white paper I used.  Isn't that cool???  You can get it for free just by a click of the finger.  It is a free downloadable paper from &lt;a href="http://www.theangelcompany.net/"&gt;The Angel Company&lt;/a&gt;.  Just go to the section on the main page of the website that says downloads and download on whatever colored paper you'd like.  I like to use white, but at seminar, I saw it run off on many other colors too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other items used on my cards include TAC Black Palette Ink, markers, stickles, amd ribbon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2794347655915162992-893862009221950679?l=creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com/2009/07/few-cards-i-did-for-seminar.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Beth Gruenke Angel #2906)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/Slh8rav8SpI/AAAAAAAAAYA/2TYt8lwIVbg/s72-c/PICT0500.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794347655915162992.post-6406811339620841512</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2009 05:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-11T03:52:27.871-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>TAC Discontinued Product List</category><title>TAC Discontinued Products = 25% off Savings for a Limited Time</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SlgfXGhTBuI/AAAAAAAAAXg/QABKvhIl6YM/s1600-h/DiscontinuedProductList.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SlgfXGhTBuI/AAAAAAAAAXg/QABKvhIl6YM/s400/DiscontinuedProductList.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357066238504928994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SlhszlBruBI/AAAAAAAAAXw/NL6axvNLBBk/s1600-h/DiscontinuedProductList.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SlhszlBruBI/AAAAAAAAAXw/NL6axvNLBBk/s400/DiscontinuedProductList.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357151390125504530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, if you go to &lt;a href="http://www.bethg.ismyangel.net/"&gt;www.bethg.ismyangel.net&lt;/a&gt; store you can check out all of these fabulous items and order online or you can contact me by e-mail and I can place your order for you.

My only hope is that I didn't snore or drool too much on anyone who had to sit around me!  The 50's Sock Hop last night was fun to attend.  The big surprise at the end was that every TAC Angel got a special exclusive stamp set at the end of the dance for attending!  It has stamps in it related to the 50's theme including a cute girl in a poodle skirt, a poodle, saddle shoes, etc.  How cute is that?  I can't wait to create with it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday us angels attended some fantastic workshops that gave us some great ideas on hostess gifts, recruiting, and some cool ideas for projects.  We also had the chance to go to the open stamp room where TAC had new stamp sets set out for us to stamp as many as we wanted on cardstock to bring back to use to make cards and scrapbook pages.  I can't wait to use them and plan to send some to my downline!  If you are interested in joining TAC let me know.  I would love to send you some in your welcome packet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was really surprised to find out that I won one of the display boards again this year.  On my display board were mainly Christmas cards and several had been submitted for last years catty and had made it in the catty.  Others were submitted into monthly competitions.  I will post them when I get pictures taken.  In the meantime, check out the pics I have posted to share.  It was so much fun and, if your an angel that couldn't make it, we sure missed you!  Start planning for next year.  Next year will mark the start of something fresh and new with the 1st year under the new and improved career plan that TAC rolling out starting in Jan. '10.  The opportunity to earn money with this company is in your hands and you get to choose how to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep checking back for my artwork as I get more projects from seminar completed and design my own with new products I've ordered.  If you want to purchase a catty from me be sure to contact me and let me know.  I only have a limited amount at this time.&lt;br /&gt;Talk to you soon........have a great day!

Those of you who love The Angel Company are going to love the new 129 pg. catalog!  It is chock-full of beautiful new samples of fabulous stamping ideas.  Let me share 5 things that I think you'll love in this new catty:&lt;br /&gt;5.  it contains over 50 stamp sets, some are best sellers and some are brand new (and spanking cute!)&lt;br /&gt;4.  the catty is organized in alphabetical category order making it easier to find what you are looking for.&lt;br /&gt;3.  on the page with the TAC exclusive cardstock you can find the coordinating inks, other coordinating cardstocks to match, and ribbons to match.&lt;br /&gt;2.  the catty has gone back to showing the stamps at the 100% size so you know exactly what you are buying.&lt;br /&gt;and, drum roll please, for..........#&lt;br /&gt;1.  my favorite product is the "more mimi" paper pack which is our new 12x12 double-sided cardstock (yes, you heard me right) that includes one of each design and one sheet of coordinating die-cut double-sided cardstock tags.  How awesome is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The catalogue only costs $4.95 plus shipping, but with your first $40 or more order you will receive a credit back for the cost of the catalog.  The first 10 people who order a catalog will get a handmade card using one of the stamp sets from our new catalog.  The catalogs should arrive this next week.  Be sure to call me or send me an e-mail to reserve your new copy of the catty.  I only ordered 2 boxes (20 catty's) to start with, so be sure to call soon.  You aren't going to want to miss out on this one!!!!!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thinking about a new and fun career in a fun and exciting industry????  Ask me how you can become an "angel".  A new compensation plan is being revealed this weekend to help new and existing angels work part-time or full-time at a business that is fun and creative and can definitely help you earn some extra money!!!!  You are the boss of your future with TAC!!!  Ask me to learn more about how to get your wings!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will blog more about an open house in early July and starting up stamp classes.  Having fun in Wichita, Kansas.  Later from the sunflower state..........Beth :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2794347655915162992-6622566899742666276?l=creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com/2009/06/tac-seminar-sneak-peak.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Beth Gruenke Angel #2906)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SkWzDCT26eI/AAAAAAAAAXI/LRiK5fdJz1A/s72-c/PICT0434.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794347655915162992.post-4248405285485341244</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-08T09:50:47.501-07:00</atom:updated><title>Seminar 2009</title><description>It's been a long time since I've posted, so thought I'd get a post out to all of you to update you on what I've been doing.  I'm getting excited about seminar.  It's in less than 18 days and I still haven't started my swaps.  I have a little over a week left of school left to teach.  It's countdown time!!!!  I'm finishing with teaching 9th grade Human Sexuality, boy what was I thinking!!!!!  Well, it has been interesting to say the least.  There are so many myths out there today that these kids believe.  My favorite - that sneezing are mini orgasms.  If that is the case, them I'm starting a new abstinence program by selling pepper shakers to all.  Where do they get their information?!?  Anyway, not much longer and I'm done.  Friday starts finals and then next Wednesday is the last day.  We still don't know what we teach next year, but hopefully we find out in the next day or two.  Talk about coming down to the wire!  I took an over night trip to Enumclaw, WA in my camper with my son Brent to a wedding reception for my step- neice and her new husband.  It was fun, but a long trip for such a short time.  It was beautiful.  Lots of people, dancing, food, and spirits.  The royal porta-potties were pretty impressive too!  Today, a speaker is at Mead High School speaking about his time during the Holacaust.  Wow, what an experience that we are all so lucky not to have experienced.  Let us all remember the millions who lost their lives in such a terrible event.  What a wonderful man with such an important story to tell.  Well, I will post some cards that I recently made.  Be sure to contact me if you are interested in ordering any of the retired stamp sets.  How awesome that you can get them at a discounted price.  Isn't TAC great for doing that????

If you love angels, then you will want this set.  The saying stamped on my notebook is hard to read.  It says "A dream is a wish your heart makes." Tinkerbelle.  The paper collection is called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mimi V-837 - $6.95 &lt;/span&gt;(12x12).  I love the colors in this collection.  You get 5 sheets of different designs and 1 sheet w/an asst. of coordinating die-cut cardstock tags embellishments. TAC also sells the matching hardware and ribbon to coordinate with all of its paper collections as well.

My husband got on top of the garage to shovel it and actually ended up breaking the shovel the snow was so heavy and thick.  We have gotten a record breaking amount of snow this year with over 61" so far and more coming down as I write this.  School has been canceled today for the whole city due to road conditions and I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring.  I just can't get over how much snow we've gotten this year.  I've managed to be able to drive in it for the most part with only one nose dive into a snow bank thus far.  I had to be pushed out, but luckily no damage!  Our snow blower has been a valuable piece of equipment this year.  When Mike went to buy a new shovel, he couldn't find one anywhere.  Go figure!!!!!!!  Hope you are all staying warm and safe!

I've been swallowed up by my classroom and teaching all my wonderful students this fall.  I'm currently teaching Child Development/Parenting and Family Health.  The Family Health classes have 30 wonderful freshman (yes, that is 9th graders) and I have 4 periods in a row to teach.  I am keeping very busy.  By the end of the day, I am checking myself to see if I'm still standing and speaking in complete, recognizable sentences.  Don't get me wrong, I am really enjoying the year, but it really takes alot of ENERGY to teach this age group and I'm no spring chicken anymore.  It really puts the meaning into the word HEALTH if you know what I mean!!!  Any way, I am getting a chance to get away this coming weekend.  I'm actually going to play hookie tomorrow because I got a sub (bless them) to come in to teach tomorrow.  I fly out tonight (Thursday) at 6:40 p.m. to be exact and will get away from it all to attend the Creative Keepsakes Convention Friday and Saturday all day long.  I have signed up to take tons and I mean tons of really cool classes.  I'm going to learn flower techniques, flocking techniques, creative ways to use chipboard, and will get to make a fun chic holiday purse with gift cards.  How exciting is that??????  I am ready to go and have some fun and relax with friends.  I will post pictures of my projects when I return.

I have to admit that I am still working on cleaning up my craft room.  I'm getting there, but its not quite there yet.  I bought a new little shelf and got it put together today, so am getting magazines and books loaded onto it.  I'm reorganizing stamps and cleaning ones that I have left dirty from previous stamping nights.  I don't have any new pics to share yet, but I do have another blurry one of more swaps I received at seminar.  I just loved these.  I know they are a bit hard to see, blame the photographer again!  This past week I went to the doctor because my right wrist has been hurting for a good month or so.  I thought maybe I had just strained it somehow and thought maybe the pain would just go away, but it has persisted.  I woke up on Monday and my wrist started popping, so off to the doc I went.  Well, of course I got told what I figured I'd get told - I have &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;tendinitis&lt;/span&gt; - basically I'm getting older!  Its amazing how quickly my parts are falling apart the closer to the big 5-0 I get!!!!  Well, I got a good med for it and hopefully it will heal up and I'll be good as new.  It won't stop me from stamping tonight.  I plan on getting some done this evening so this weekend I will have something new to share with you.  Well until then .......have a great weekend!!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2794347655915162992-7516105026626864934?l=creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com/2008/07/more-swaps.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Beth Gruenke Angel #2906)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SIqFnuBWqGI/AAAAAAAAASY/w7kbRbir3Gs/s72-c/PICT0027.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>10</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794347655915162992.post-6980592214143997531</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-10T08:02:15.215-08:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Fun Swaps and Oriental card I made</category><title>Swap Cards</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SIDA7Q8O-DI/AAAAAAAAAR0/MVtPhVogs7Q/s1600-h/PICT0007.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SIDA7Q8O-DI/AAAAAAAAAR0/MVtPhVogs7Q/s400/PICT0007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224387692142196786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Just a few of my swaps received and a card I made (the oriental card).  I really loved each and everyone of these.  I know they are hard to see, blame that on the photographer (that would be me of course!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, I've been home from my long trip across country and haven't started to stamp yet.  I took the trip to rest from teaching all year, but after returning home from the trip I think I needed a rest from traveling so much.  Go figure!  Anyway, I don't know how I've let a week get past me, but I have.  I am getting motivated again (finally) and have th urge to clean my stamp room (now I just need to actually move) and get it organized again.  I got so many new things at seminar and new ideas to work on, I think I'm a bit overwhelmed and not sure where to start.  I think since I've just gotten home from a trip I should maybe do some scrapping.  I haven't done that much, so I am going to have to break out the scrapbooks and work on putting together a few books of the trip.  My picture taking ability isn't exactly the greatest, but I did get some that are worthy of being put on scrap pages and I bought quite a few post cards too.  I thought maybe I could do something cool with them as well.  Anyone have any good ideas for them????  I am trying to muster up the willpower to hold an open house for the new catty for TAC.  I say that every year and then chicken out.  I love our products and stamps and this year with the new kits, wow, I should have no excuse for cool ideas to share with my customers.  I just think I sometimes need a boost of self-confidence.  Its funny how, as a teacher, I try to inspire and motivate students on a daily basis, but when it comes to myself, I tend to not follow my own medicine.  I come across as being very self assured, but at times, its hard for me to take that leap, so to speak.  Anyway, some of you out there might know what I'm talking about, I tend to just be too hard on myself at times.  So, now that I have that out of my system, I think I will just get motivated and clean my downstairs craft room, get everything organized and get started.  Once I start I know I'll get inspired and lose all track of time......isn't that the way it always seems to go.....well, I'm sharing a picture of some trades I got in the mail and a card I made with one of my favorite all time stamp sets from The Angel Company called &lt;a href="http://www.bethg.ismyangel.net/"&gt;the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;arts &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;T-2408 $15.95 (set of 10 stamps) located on page 40 of the new catty.  I have made several different cards with this set.  We now have a new Asian set called asian&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;art&lt;/span&gt; T-2983 $19.95 (set of 10) on page 41 of the catty.  I am getting this set free for staying at the Hyatt Hotel in Wichita, KS for seminar.  I can't wait to get it and start playing around with it.  I love any type of Asian stamp sets.  I think they are just beautiful.  Anyway, thanks for looking.....Beth :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2794347655915162992-6980592214143997531?l=creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com/2008/07/swap-cards.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Beth Gruenke Angel #2906)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SIDA7Q8O-DI/AAAAAAAAAR0/MVtPhVogs7Q/s72-c/PICT0007.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>7</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794347655915162992.post-444489346792060007</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-10T08:02:15.489-08:00</atom:updated><title></title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SH2QMWb06nI/AAAAAAAAARk/xgYdDdyVm2A/s1600-h/4681.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SH2QMWb06nI/AAAAAAAAARk/xgYdDdyVm2A/s400/4681.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223489684674767474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Making Memories Embellishment Jars&lt;/span&gt; are a new item being carried by The Angel Company.

These are pictures of a few of the card fronts that I made as trades for seminar.  I love these two stamp sets by TAC.  I had a lot of fun making them too.  The fish card I made for Father's Day for my Dad and Father-In-Law using the following TAC products:&lt;br /&gt;T-1091  fish&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;story &lt;/span&gt;(set of 5) $10.95&lt;br /&gt;V-925  Just Like Dad 8x8 Wing It Collection Paper Pad (36 sheets) $6.95&lt;br /&gt;I used DCWV Cardstock, shimmer chalks, and antique copper hardware put on with my Crop-A-Dile.  All products sold by The Angel Company.    I used finger sponges (I bought from Michaels) to blend the colors together to color the fish and the water.  It's hard to tell from the picture, but I thought the colors came out great.   They weren't hard to color, but looked like I had spent a lot more time on them than what I did.  I stamped the fish on our &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;premium white cardstock V-290&lt;/span&gt; and then after coloring it,  I used my distressing tool on it and then inked the distressed edges with my palette ink.   I love the look of the torn paper, it gives it that rustic look!   TAC sells a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cutting Tool Set F-303 &lt;/span&gt;for $9.95.  I love this tool set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other two cards are done with the following products:&lt;br /&gt;T -2688 spring&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;dream&lt;/span&gt; (set of 10) for $19.95 (my favorite flower set)&lt;br /&gt;TA-2978 Just&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt;you (set of 4) Hostess Only Stamp Set (Just For You Sentiment)&lt;br /&gt;V-832 ChaCha 12x12 Soar With It Cardstock Collection for $6.95&lt;br /&gt;B-310 Cha Cha 12x12 Cardstock for $6.50&lt;br /&gt;V-841 Miss Moxie 12x12 Soar With It Cardstock Collection for $6.95&lt;br /&gt;VB-319 Miss Moxie 12x12 Cardstock for $6.50&lt;br /&gt;I first stamped my flower on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;white glossy cardstock V-216.  &lt;/span&gt;I used my glitter gel pens to color the flowers and then used Stickles to add extra sparkle.  I love glitter and sparkle.  On some of the cards I used hardware and my Crop-A-Dile tool.  I love the larger eyelets.  I had fun making these cards.  No two were alike.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2794347655915162992-86363798423913771?l=creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com/2008/07/trades-at-seminar.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Beth Gruenke Angel #2906)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SHrIUCQCQBI/AAAAAAAAARU/pwTGTa3XB4Q/s72-c/PICT0005.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794347655915162992.post-2763102065229612755</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2008 04:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-17T08:43:43.318-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>SBS</category><title>Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers</title><description>I recently discovered the Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers site and decided to join in on the fun.

Not wanting to do this by raising prices, The Angel Company had to take a look at our hostess plan and came up with, what I feel, is a pretty good compromise.  What they did do is take away the one 1/2 priced item just for booking a show in order to keep the 1/2 priced item where you can choose anything from the catalog for the consumer.  If we had kept the 2  - 1/2 priced items, then customers would have been limited in choosing only TAC stamps or paper collections/kits.  This would have meant that customers could not have used the 1/2 priced item for the higher end items such as the Score-Pal or Bind-It-All.  I usually get customers that want some of these pricier items as their 50% off item(s).  As a consultant I will still come up with some type of creative way to offer special incentives for my customers when they book a FunShop with me.  In order to receive your 1/2 priced item, your sales will need to be as stated below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For FUNshop Net Sales between:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;             • $100-249.99 hostesses may select 1 half price item &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;from any item in our current catalogue.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;             &lt;br /&gt;             • $250-499.99 hostesses may select 2 half price items &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;from any items in our current catalogue.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;             &lt;br /&gt;             • $500-749.99 hostesses may select 3 half price items &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;from any items in our current catalogue.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;             &lt;br /&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;•$750 and above hostesses may select 4 half price items &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;from any items in our current catalogue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is still a great deal for hostesses.  They still can choose to receive their 20% off of their order up to $150 in sales as well as all the other little goodies I give them.  So If you want to get in on getting the 2 -1/2 priced items, you need to call me asap to set up a FunShop before July 15th or place on order before the 15th of at least $100 in net sales to qualify for the 2 1/2 priced items as well as your 3 free Gift With Purchase stamps found at the beginning of the catalog.  Give me a call at 509-879-9396 if you want to reserve a date and time to host a FunShop  today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2794347655915162992-3586182607710154551?l=creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://creativeladybugstamper.blogspot.com/2008/07/notice-new-hostess-plan-beginning-july.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Beth Gruenke Angel #2906)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794347655915162992.post-399806510504292995</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Jul 2008 01:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-10T08:02:15.754-08:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>TAC Toodle Loo</category><title>Register for a Free Prize from TAC</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SHLQJSUXflI/AAAAAAAAARI/FLXmBGct4aw/s1600-h/Promos_WinJuly_sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"&gt;&lt;span class="on" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif" alt="Link" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mLI7UtX7KTI/SHLQJSUXflI/AAAAAAAAARI/FLXmBGct4aw/s400/Promos_WinJuly_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220463776030490194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;How would you like to win this wonderful Toodle Loo SWIC paper pack and all the coordinating embellishments along with two great stamp sets?????

You can purchase this specially-sized stamp set with a $30.00* purchase.  Demonstrators received a large-sized stamp set of this cute smaller set that is now being offered for a limited time for only.  You may order one (1) for every $30 purchase you make in addition to the stamp of the month.  I love this new set.  I posted a picture of the journal TAC sent us demonstrators to decorate for seminar to use to take notes and keep our goals and dreams for our business ideas.  I used my glitter pens on the angel and used the Mimi            SWIC paper collection w/tags and ribbon to embellish it. I love this paper and the embellishments that match it.  TAC has taken the guesswork out of putting colors together to make your life much more SIMPLE when it comes to coordinating papers with ribbons, brads, buttons, and eyelets.  This saves you TIME which means more stamping to me!  My notebook was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;fun&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;simple&lt;/span&gt; to do.  When I was making my make and takes at seminar, Ginger, my roomie told me some lady walked up and thought it was a sample project and was taking pictures of it.  That made me feel good.  It looks a lot better in person because you can really see how much it sparkles in real life.  Anyway, I hope you get inspired by it and if you like, call or e-mail your order to me and don't forget to get this cute set for only the price of $7.95 with you $30 order (before tax or shipping).  Watch for more to come soon.  Signing off from Murdo, South Dakota!
