New Computer

Hi all . . . Well, there was a total crash of the old system - it needs a new motherboard - so. . . We now have a new system. Still need to move photos and files, but at least we are back up and

running. Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.

Below are a few of the ATC's I did for the PAT 15 swap at Split Coast. The photos are not great but you can kindof get an idea of the subjects anyway.

These turtles are beaded in the center with fibers used for the grass.

The hummingbird

was cut from gold metalic paper using my Silouhette giving the beautiful details on his body and wing. His eye is a bead and the background is patterened paper.

The photo in the background for this card came from Masterpiece Dogs as did the cut out guy popped up in the front.

For a little different effect, I cut the seahorse from flocked paper and the seaweed is cut from fine paper, again using the Silouhette cutter. The shells are real.

Wow, I see it has been longer than I thought since I last posted to this blog. Life is happening fast around here. Tax season is over and I think I can see the sun again. Spring has been great, wonderful temps and pretty nice weather most of the time. School is almost over, home schooling my granddaughter this year has been fun, but takes most of my spare time. Just to make things interesting, I broke my foot in March, so everything is moving at half speed.

I have been working on some ATC's I will share with you in the next day or so. Below is a sneak peak, hope you enjoy!

WCMD Merry Christmas!

This card was created using the provided sketch for challenge WCMD09K over at SCS. This is the first opportunity I have had to work with the new Webster's Pages papers and I fell in love with them. They all work together so beautifully it was a joy to create this card.

The base of the card is SU - all the patterned papers are from Webster Pages. The poinsettias were cut using QuicKutz and the stamp is from Darcie's. I hope you had a chance to play this weekend - we did and it feels great! Coming soon . . . more ATC's!

WCMD - Thank You

For my third challenge this weekend I created this Thank You card based on the sketch for WCMD09D over at SCS.

I used SU papers for the base, matts and flower on the card. The Thank You and flower stamps are from Daisy Bucket as are the background dotted paper and the globe. The rhinestones on the flower come from Kaiser Craft.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

WCMD Two!

Can you believe it . . . I got two challenges done for World Card Making Day over at SCS!

This one was fun. Mostly I used stuff from my stash except for this cool stamp I got at my LSS and the Crafty Secrets Card Stock Cut Out from MDC.

I'm off to try to do at least one more before the time is up! Have a great day!
