My poor neglected blog and plea for help

Hi everyone, I hope you're still out there in cyber land. I haven't forgotten you, life has just gotten in the way. First it was preparing swaps for convention, I did 622 in total, then convention, and now I'm in Virginia waiting for TC to leave for his third deployment, second one to Afghanaistan. I have done some stamping and I still owe you convention swaps. Those will come next month when I'm back home.

In the meantime, I have a request from you - I WANT TO GO TO LEADERSHIP!! TC has agreed to let me go and pay for the trip under two conditions, one is the I need to meet the minumum requirements and this is where you come in. I need two more recruits and then sales. The other is a personal goal, that I may share with you later. So anyways, in the next coming months you will see more business things on my blog, including buys, classes, kits, and tutorials. The other requirement is recruits. Right now through the end of July, Stampin' Up! has a recruiting special and it's only $99 to sign up! PLUS, if you sign up under me, I will include a few extra goodies for the first person that goes to my website(tinataves.stampinup.net) and joins my team. These include the new IBC in it's own exclusive three ring binder and other items from this years Memento Mall. So what are you waiting for? Whether you are looking to add some income or just increase your stamping supplies, now's the time!

It's another Friday, so that means another Sketch Frenzy Friday. First, here is the sketch.

I decided to use a new set, Creative Elements. It didn't turn out like I expected, but here it is. The colors are Lucky Limeade, Rose Red, Whisper White, and Daffodil Delight.

Again, thanks for your patience. I leave for Salt Lake City on Sunday, so that is when I'll start sharing my swaps with you. Hopefully you'll agree they are worth the wait. In the meantime, continue on your journey to our homepage, where you can add your own creation.

Can you believe it's July?! And the year is almost half over already?! I can't. It just seems like yesterday that TC came home and we got married and now he's getting ready to leave again as I get ready to leave for convention. That being said, I've been a bad blogger and my blog has been very neglected the past couple weeks. But in return for your patience, you will hopefully have great blog viewing pleasure while I'm at convention, perusing all my swap shares.

Anyways, it's Friday so that means Sketch Frenzy Friday and I have a share! I was playing around all day with one of my swaps that I couldn't get together, so I decided to take a break and see what this week's sketch was, here it is.

I then played around with some of the elements from the swap that was getting the better of me and came up with this creation. And I now think it's going to be my swap (well not exactly, but I'm saving that for the week I'm at convention). I used one of the new hostess sets, available today, Posy Punch, and a new in-color, Island Indigo. The other colors are Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, and Whisper White. I also used Dot, Dot, Dot.

Thanks for stopping by and your patience. Your next stop is the homepage, where you can add your own creation!
