2 Valentine ATC's

Here are a couple more ATC's I made with a Valentine's theme. 

The first one I used a piece of lace, a stamped and cut out heart with feathers behind it and the word love stamped on top. The arrows were a stamp that was cut out too. The background is red cardstock and a piece of old torn book paper and 3 red gems.

 This next one I used a Hello Kitty cut out I received in a swap back in my Cricut days. I then stamped hugs & kisses onto the balloon. A piece of lace down one edge with some red gems. Background is red cardstock with old music paper that I white washed.

ATC and weather update!

I made this atc into a file folder and on the inside has all the details about Christina's life. 

I thought it would be a fun way to do an atc for "what's in a name" theme.

 

This is the kind of temps we've been dealing with for the last 2 days.  Last night we had wind chills of -40F. We luckily didn't lose power. We did get lots of snow too, and the roads are not very good.

 School is closed again tomorrow...

But hey there is a warm up on the way!

Altered Playing Cards

Here I've altered the 3's in the deck of playing cards.

I used paint, washi tape, collage from magazine/books and some pink stickles.

Baby its cold outside!

They are calling for extremely cold air here in Indiana.

 (As well as some other states)

We've already been seeing temps below zero but tomorrow is when it starts to get really bad.  Heavy snow 8-12 inches, with blizzard like conditions, actual life threatening temps of -20 to -25 and the wind chills -50. Coldest air we've had in 20-30 years. 

We're in the black.

We will all just stay inside where it's safe and warm.  

Lets hope there are no power outages.

Mixed Media Postcard

Happy New Year!!!!!

2014 

is here!

For my first post of the new year is this fun mixed media postcard I made. There are several layers of papers, paints, stamps, etc. It started off to be collage but then I got carried away and it became mixed media. I do like how it turned out. Pin It

License Plate Sign

I made this hanging sign back in May, using a license plate stamp on cardboard and connecting them together with chain. The background was colored using distress inks. The wording was a font I cut using my Silhouette Cameo machine. Heat embossed around the edges of each license plate.

Baby Onesies

I have some things I've created this past year that for whatever reason didn't make it onto my blog. I'm gonna try to catch it up...

I made these onesies back in March as gifts for my cousins baby shower. I used my Silhouette Cameo machine and cut the heat transfer vinyl and then heat pressed them on.

Altered text ATC

These ATC's were done using book pages. You pick certain words or phrases to highlight and only use 1 color. Heat embossing is my favorite thing these days so I added it to these cards.
