Ways to Use it Blog Hop Fun!

The Ways to Use It Challenge Team is having a bit of fun today! We decided that we should kick off September with a Blog Hop… and not just any hop… but a bit of a peek at our challenges for the rest of the month! Speaking of…. Michelle’s challenge starts today, so go play along!

Our theme for the month is SCHOOL! So keeping that in mind… if you can correctly guess what my school related challenge will be by checking out this card… you’ll be entered in a random draw. I’ll feature an example made by the random winner in my challenge on the 15th over at Splitcoast! How cool is that.



Thanks so much for taking a look.. now take a guess at what you think my challenge is, then hop on over to Hannah’s Blog and see if you can figure out her challenge too! Here’s the whole blog roll in case you haven’t made it through them all!

Final Farewell Blog Hop

Where to begin…. This is our monthly hop sponsored by Paper Wings, a place where Angels gather. It is with sadness in my heart that I say it is the Final Farewell Hop as TAC has closed its doors and hung up its wings.

What has The Angel Company meant to me… I have learned that there are people in the world that truly are a blessing to others. They give their time, talent and hearts to encourage and lift up those around them in need. Friends, family and strangers find themselves the recipients of love and long distant hugs all wrapped up in a handmade card or gift or just a word of prayer. I have met some amazing ladies and learned so much from them. Be a Blessing… such a simple thought but so easy to forget.



This first project was my Prop Swap at TAC’s Seminar this year. I had such a good time making it and hope that it is bringing joy to the lovely Angel that received it. Happily Grateful is one of my favorite TAC sets, it can be used in so many different ways. I used Background Soup to distress my freshly painted box… much to my father’s dismay. He couldn’t understand why I would want to make it look dirty… we crafters are devious aren’t we!



The PP and TAG are from the Amberley Grace SWIC. The flowers were made by cutting circles into spirals.
In life there are always obstacles to overcome and detours to take. It seems that the image they chose for our Inspiration book cover was preparing us.

A truly happy person is the one

who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

I even pulled out my all time favorite TAC paper Mulberry Meadow…. yes, I’ve been hoarding it. I colored with copics and then took a white signo pen to the sentiment. Did some sewing on the panels and there you have it.

This is just a detour, and I do intend to enjoy the scenery. Thank you so much for taking this journey with me. I treasure all of my Angel friends and can’t wait to see where this detour will take them. Please take the time to see what they have to share with you.
