Gift from a friend & contraband!

Good morning!!

Today I’m sharing with you a couple items from Sally…..isn’t this box sooo darling?  Sally is a club member and she always brings me a little goodie (isn’t that so nice?).  Thanks Sally!    The card is super cute with our Bali Breeze Designer Paper.

Sallys_box Sallys_card The last picture is some of the goodies I bought myself on my birthday. (do you do that, by yourself a gift? I do every year!!)   My_birthday_goodies

See my Scotch ATG Tape gun??  I’ve wanted that thing for over a year and finally decided that I could justify the cost.  The average stamper would not need such a thing, but if you stamp daily, you might consider it.  But remember it will  not replace your sticky strip or glue dots, or crystal effects or your tombow, see how I’m reminding you of all our Stampin’ Up! adhesive?   On my birthday Sandra and I had lunch at Olive Garden (yes, I swiped the coaster :)) and we pigged out on soup, salad & bread sticks..yum!  Then we went to Michaels, The Scrapbook Page and even Stampers Ink.  Going through the items in the picture,  I bought the amazing Hippity Hop Page Pack that was designed by my friend Julie (hey girl).  And I had to get the Punny Farm stamp set by My Favorites Things (had to have it because I grew up on a farm and I love those animals…for all you SU fans, I still  have the On the Farm stamp set that retired a few years back). I also had to get the Simple Celebrations from A Muse, I love those little images because they will fit in my scallop punches and we all know how much I love those.  And last but not least.  See that white ribbon, you can never have too much white ribbon because you know you can dye it with any of our Stampin’ Up! re-inkers or sponges or even markers!!!  I’ll be showing  you more of that soon! 

What’s next??  Over the next few days I’ll share with you cards send to me over the past couple weeks.

Have a great day!!

  2. Hi, my name is Corinne and I’m a ATGaholic. I’ve been seriously addicted for about a year now. Somedays I’m using a roll a day. I wish I could quit but the temptation to get my work done faster is too great….I just can’t say no. I know I should use snail…but I get a bigger buzz from ATG. You know it all starts innocent enough…..double sided tape you have to peel then you move on to harder stuff like snail and before you know it…you’re hooked on ATG. That’s my story….learn from me…don’t make the same mistakes I made. If you’d like to talk to your club group please let me know I have some dates available. My fee is….ATG tape. hehehehe….love ya 🙂

  4. The ATG is sooo super, even for an average stamper. I don’t stamp every day, but the ATG has been the best thing I ever bought! The tape is so much cheaper than buying the tape runner refills and sticks much better…its THE BEST!

  5. You enabler you 😉 haha! I need one of those tape guns now too! I know I can justify the cost but I like to spend my money on stamps…lol…maybe I’ll add it to a wish list!

  6. OK… just an FYI, the ATG tape CAN replace sticky strip for almost everything… it’s wonderful for boxes, bags, etc. I haven’t tried it for things like a line of beads, or glitter for that matter, but I’ve done paint cans with it, and lunch tins, and nothing has come off!! I’m an addict. Yes, I know. Corinne and I need to join the 12 step program together. I think we’re at step 2, and not willing to move on. We’ve admitted we have a problem, but that’s it. I’ve even started thinking about a SECOND gun for acid free tape for it. (sad, sad, sad) BUT, you will LOVE it. It’s my single most favourite stamping accessory that’s not SU. (and pretty high among the SU stuff, too.)
    Enjoy the gun, and happy birthday!!!!

  8. That ATG gun will be on my wish list.. Must tell anyone that reads this comment that I had so much fun eating and shopping with Angie. It’s been a long time since I’ve shopped with a wonderful friend! All of us women need to make time for ourselves and have fun! I’ll stop preaching!
