Friday DT Round-up!

Hello again everyone!!!

We have A LOT going on around Torendi lately!

We have almost everything priced at 50% off in the store and have been getting in some amazing new goodies!

What are your plans for the weekend!?

I'll be in Tampa to celebrate my birthday!

Here is some inspiration to get your weekend going:

Here's a fun CAS card from Kelly!

Kelly is actually in Chicago checking out CHA! Be sure to follow her on twitter, Lawnfawn! This card uses the Cosmo Cricket Joyride Chipboard, which is 50% off at $2.50!

Here are some creations from Jenn:

Jenn made her card using some fun Bam Pop Stamps!

Jenn used the Torendi Rub-ons for the first altered tile! Aren't these super cute! You should definitely check out her blog for the deets! The rub-ons are also 50% off at $3 each.

Next up is the uber talented BR-T:

BR-T uses the cool "Wham!!" Chipboard from Buzz and Bloom here! It is included in the Travel Time Kit. BR-T's photog skills are AWESOME!

Last up to bat is a card that I made the other day!

I adore the Red Riding Hood postcard that came in the Modern Red Kit (my fave kit)! All I did was cut out the house image, attach the two clothespins (from the Fresh Mix Kit), and pop it up on the card with foam tape! The paper is also from the Fresh Mix Kit. The fun little banner is from the Paris in Bloom Kit. I just love using up my leftover kit contents to make fun cards! Check out the kits here!

Now, I'm off to enjoy a Rays v Yankees Baseball game, a date night movie night with the hubs, Memaw's Alaskan Fish Tacos in YBor city, Busch Gardens, and our favorite sandwich place, Brocato's!

I LOVE TAMPA!

NEW IMPORTS!!

WOO HOO! 

I am loving these new products and hope you will too!

We now have 9 color options for our solid Japanese Washi Tape! 

Our blue polka dots Washi Tape sold out so fast, we have restocked it in 3 new polka dot colors!

We have two wire note card holders, that would make a great addition to any room, or help you hold up your next card in a photo shoot!

BR-T's creation just makes me smile-instantly!

I love the combination of all the elements! It reminds me of a cool retro shirt I'd find at Hot Topic! She used Bam Pop's Instant Love Camera stamp, Bots Like Us stamp set, and High Voltage paper!

Before I go, I leave you with my matching page and card set that I made using the Travel Time Kit! Isn't that postcard the best!!!!? I also used some of our washi tapes and cosmo cricket's blue line chipboard alphas!
