I am clearly in the minority here - but I am absolutely *LOVING* the Retro sets! Both Retro Christmas and Retro Treaters remind me of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, and The Corpse Bride (Tim Burton flicks.) I can just see doing them all in really bright, whimsical, nonsensical colors. I think they're pretty unique and not at all "cutesey" like so many other Halloween stamps out there. And I totally see The Boyz enjoying these stamps. They just picked out a half-dozen A*Muse stamps the other day at the LSS - a bat, a poison bottle with skull & crossbones. Stuff like that. So I think these will be *awesome* for my needs since they're not all girly and cutesey.
I've got my order all set up for 10/01...!! ~ K
I never thought about using the stamps with those colors! The movies you mentioned are my fav. Maybe I will have to go take another look at them. Thanks for the different point of view.
Missed your posting when I was here earlier ~ How'd that happen???
First thing after The Boyz are in school on Monday, I'm putting the order thru on your site. I hope the Oct SOTM & Specials are worth waiting for - otherwise, I'd put my order in *today*!! ~ K

The October SOTM is super cute! Also....incase you didn't know......in October, November and December......TAC is will be having a "vintage" set each month! A set that is from a previous catalog that will be sold at a special price! Woo Hoo!

Very cool! When will we be able to see those?
Also when will they be announcing the sign up special for October?
I agree with ya on the Thanksgiving set - way scarrier than the Retro ones for me!
Probably shouldn't say this - but as soon as I saw that First Thanksgiving set..... the movie Nightmare Before Chriatmas popped into my head. Sigh... I guess I was just hoping for more elegant.
You know I went back and looked at the First Thanksgiving again. I could really be in love with that set if the "people" weren't in there. They kinda look like they put a piece of that corn in their mouth and smiled. I should stop looking. Now I want three of those sets. Can you say credit card. Just joking. I'm just gonna have to stir up more business and earn money to get them. Talk about motivation.
I know most angels will gladly let you do a catalog party. Even if it's only a party of one!! You have to place the order personally with them though and not on their website. I'm doing this for a couple of my gals.:-D
Let me know if you need any more info, Tara

I'm excited I already have an order for the Christmas Checklist. Works great for me I'm trying to get to that level B with the double hostess benefits.
The sign up special for October is a $50 stamp bonus in your starter kit!!!
Not only that, but also a free TACBAG of assorted stamps retailing at $15.95. :grin: I noticed that today in the fine print when I was talking to someone about signing up! Very cool.
I put my order in with Fall Supplement stamps last night (Thursday) and it shipped today already (Friday). TAC shipping ROCKS! Can't wait to get my new rubber and play, play, play....
I showed a friend the FS the other day online, and she immediately loved the retro sets, and she thought of the new Rock Star papers by DCWV to use, and all those other cool funky papers they have been putting out recently.
I have some of the DCWV papers she spoke of....I just may have her send me some images to play with if she orders those sets! LOL
Quick question for any demos-in-the-know - are all the sets shown at 75% of actual size like in the regular catalog? I know some of the sets are shown with the "size it" graphic, so I'm assuming this is the case.

Hi Cheryl,
Yes, you're right - they are shown at 75%. I think the "size it" graphic is kind of hard to see in the online version - good eyes!
I think the creepy elves and reindeer will look great with the Merry Wishes Soar with It collection ...however...I don't have it yet..and since it will be a special in Nov....I can see those two co-ordinating beautifully can't you?
Also, they get one of the TACBAG (grab-bags) too, along with the SOTM... I October is a great time for someone to sign up!!
If someone signs up in October do they get to choose the $50 worth of stamps or are they chosen for them? If they get to choose where do they put them on the demo application?
For the $50 free stamps, they just send along another sheet of paper with their application indicating which stamps they want. And it is the T-coded stamps that they can select.

The first thanksgiving set....it reminds me of those types of images when they are in say...felt or material and stitched onto a blanket or sweater...I am not sure of what the stitch is called (I sew oonly on paper, hehe and half the time without thread... giggle)...but when I look at them this way they aren't so scary...

I couldn't place it, but you are exactly right! LOL!
I did the retro Christmas and Reindeer for the supplement. I have to admit, when I got the box and took a peek at those stamps I couldn't stop laughing! I said what in the world are they thinking?!? I thought maybe it was a joke cuz it was my first time designing for TAC...it wasn't a joke and now after working with the sets I just love them! They are so fun to color, easy too. Anything goes. I love the eyes and the circle pattern on some of the pieces in the set cuz they do look like starlight mints. I color them just that way. The sets still make me giggle, but they don't creep me out. They are FUN, give 'em a try. I dare you! ;) wink, wink
Inky Hugs and Happy Stamping.

Risa- the samples are fantastic (all the samples always are! I'm amazed at the talent of the angels who do those)- but the sets.... mmmmm I'll still say I'm a bit frightened. However, I've heard from plenty of people now who like them, so TAC must have known what they were doing. Something for everybody!
I think I am going insane roflol. I could swear that I posted on this thread yesterday and now I can't find it. Oh man......I'm either insane or blind. Anyway, I have gone back over the flyer. I do like the first thanksgiving, a little weird but I like everything but the pilgrims. Ornamental snowflakes, very pretty, winter tags, very nice, ornamental joy and birdy holiday are nice, but I can live without them. I have to have the reindeer! The elves, not so much, but I love the reindeer. And I agree that they are very Tim Burton-esque.

Hey I sent you a TAC Newsletter letting you know about the Specials.
Need help from one of you lovely Angels. I have been checking out the site, but cannot seem to find an image of the October SOTM, I only see September. Does this mean that you do not have a new one for September? I'm sorry to say that I have emailed my Angel, but she has not gotten back to me.
Thanks for any info you can send my way!
