Another Bump in the Road!!

I hope you all have been having a GREAT time!!!!

For those who read my earlier posts/ updates you know at the beginning of this month we started a journey to the states to visit family and it took us 7 days to get a flight out. We spent 7 days sitting at an airport terminal, ugh right?? LOL. Well on the 25th we started our journey home. On Friday the 26th my husband and our oldest son got out on a plane. Due to hurricane Irene all airports on the east coast were closing down, so my mom and brother drove down from NY and got my youngest and I out of the path of Irene. On Tuesday evening my mom drove us back to Dover, DE to try for flights out. Since then we have tried for flights in Dover, Andrews AFB in MD and McGuire AFB in NJ, and no luck. We are now back in Dover and we are just going to stay here until we can get a flight out. This really has been the worst trip ever, travel wise, the visits were GREAT!!! I just can't wait to get home, see my family and get back to crafting!!!!

Please keep you fingers crossed for us that we get home soon!!!!

Happy Crafting!!!!

Danger ATC

This is an Artist Trading Card (ATC) that I created for the Diemond Dies' Design Team Call. The background is a couple different mixed media techniques, mod podging tissue paper with lots of wrinkles in it and then stamping on top of it. Then I used some Shimmerz Texturez to add even more texture and then some gray gesso is added in there too. I used some corrugated cardboard to add some texture and then I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Banners Die and Bat & Skull dies for my embellishments. On the bat I covered it with haematite Inka Gold, buffed it and then adhered it with 3-D Dots. The skull I gessoed, colored it with my Faber Castell Big Brush Pens and then used some Shimmerz Texturez to put the "cracks" on it. This is one of my favorite ATCs that I have ever made. I hope you enjoyed it too!! Happy Crafting!!!!

Time to Create a Unique View

This is an altered canvas that I created for Diemond Dies' Design Team call. It was my first big mixed media project and I absolutely love how it turned out!!!! I got lots of different close up pics. I just love that clock piece in the corner! This view finder die is a must have, it was so much fun to use! I cut it in black chipboard and then again in chipboard covered in white paper. I then took the squares from the black one that I cut out and put them in the white one and it actually looks like a view finder disc!! Don't forget the sides of your canvases! So pretty! The arrow is pointing to the way to read the words for the title of the canvas, completely unintentional. Love those butterflies. I got these in a swap but I know you can find them on Etsy! Well I hope you enjoyed my pics, if you have any questions please just ask. As you will see in future posts I did end up making the team.

Ice Cream Card

I am so proud of this card!!! I had an overwhelming sense of accomplishment when I finished this project. I made this card for Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge Me Monday Contest. The challenge was to make a project incorporating ice cream, cold drinks or just any cool treat. It took me a couple days to get it right but I finally got it finished up last night and so I wanted to share it with you all today!!! I started with a 5.5"x8.5" piece of card stock folded in half for the base of my card. It was a piece of brown from The Paper Company's Natural Fashion Colors value pack. Then I cut a piece of dark orange from the same pack at 5 1/4" x 4" and used it for my first layer on the card. I attached it using my ATG gun. Then I used a piece of paper from DCWV Animal Crackers matstack and cut the bowl. The bowl is from the Cricut cartridge "Create a Critter" and I cut it at 3" using the real dial size button. Also from this cartridg
