EMO Love:)

I had to make an ATC for One of my Cafe mom Groups today. So I choose to use one of my new Simply Betty stamps I got in November During her Black friday sale:) What a great sale it was too!!
This is one of her Burton Chibis. Since the stamp is actually bigger than an ATC I had to stamp her out then color her and copy her smaller on my printer. She is an actually stamp not a digi that I can resize:(  I called this card "EMO LOVE" Hope you enjoy and until next time
Create Great ART!!

Happy Hump Day:)

Well, it's the middle of the week already can you believe it. It seems that time flies a lot faster around the holiday time then any other time of the year why is that. Must be that the cosmic universe knows we have so much more to do this time of year LOL:) Well today I want to share a Thanksgiving ATC I made for a Swap in One of my Cafe Mom groups. For those that do not know ATC's are Artist Trading Cards.

The cards measure 3 1/2 x 2 1/2. There are not are fast rule for ATC's other then the dimesions. They are such a great way to explore different Art mediums.To look at more I have made you can watch my video under the ATC's Tab.

Today my Card was for CCM so it had to have at least one Cricut cut on it.
My Cricut cut is my silhouette Turkey which came from the Stretch your imagination Cartridge.

So with out further delay here is my card and until next time Create Great Art.

Happy Thanksgiving:)

On this day of Thanksgiving I would like to share and ATC I made for Thanksgiving. I would also like to share the things I am thankful for . I am thankful for my family .... MY hubby who supports me in all I do no matter how crazy he thinks my adventure is. My 2 beautiful daughters who make everyday an adventure in its own. The soldiers who are not able to spend Thanksgiving with their family because they are deployed to support our freedoms. To all those who volunteer their time to help those less fortunate.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoys a wonderful day full of family and friends.

Life as I know it:)

I hope everyone is having a Terrific Tuesday:) Life as I know has reached a pinnacle of endless days in which I am not quite sure what to do with myself:( My girls are only on there 4th day of school and the house is like a big empty cavern. I can yell and it echos back at me. Ok not quite but you get the idea. I thought I would be eager to jump right into my craft cave everyday and work away until they came home. But I am just not finding the MOJO. Maybe thats it I just don't have any MOJO for it right now. What ever the case maybe the days seem to drag on and i find the clocks in my house to be the enemy. We are at war I want them to go forward and they seem to stand frozen in time moving at a snails pace clicking away tick, tick, tick. My Dh will come home one day to find them all in pieces LOL Declaring my victory!!

Well now that I have ranted like an insane women LOL I do have an ATC I would like to share with you. I created this for a Secret sister partner swap in one of my Cafe mom Groups I could not show it until today cause I wanted to make sure she received it before I revealed it. Here is "Life's Flower"

I hand made the ribbon flower on the card. It was very simple and fun to make until next time. Create great ART!!

Well This is a late night post for me. I have been holed up in my craft cave working on projects for the DT I am on. SO where I may not be posting my usually everyday ATC's I have been working on projects you just have to wait to see the goodies sorry:(

But My DH saw I was so engrossed in my projects this evening that he made dinner. I came down to start dinner and it was almost done. I sure do love that man. After dinner I scurried back up my stairs into my craft cave and decided to make an ATC for my DH to show him how much I appreciate the little things he does:) Here is the Card I created I called it " MY Love" The saying in the center says "The Best Thing In Life Is Love"  My Dh is surly the best thing in my life so it certainly fits. Hope you have a great day tomorrow. Create Great ART!

The Balance Must be Maintained:)

Oh what a fun challenge this was!! Over at Forever Night Challenges this week They have the Challenge of  Midnight in the Garden of Good Vs Evil.  So you can make what ever you want representing Good VS Evil. Of course wheels went a spinning and what a better representation of the age old battle of good and evil then the Yin and Yang. There can be no light without the dark. They can not exist with out each other So began my ATC and here is my final result for the challenge:

ZENTANGLE You Say :)

Zentangle Huh you say? Fancy word for doodle you say. Not really! Zentagle  As described at Zentangle.com .......

Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity. Zentangle provides artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well being. Zentangle is enjoyed by a wide range of skills and ages and is used in many fields of interest.

Well one of my Groups had a challenge to create a Zentangle ATC:) As you know I always love a good challenge and as I have never dabbled in the art of Zentangles what a better way to learn:)

So with out further delay here is my Zentangle ATC.

Love Vow

Hello to all my friends in Blog land. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. I just spent the last 2 days taking my 8yr old to a Hip Hop clinic at her dance studio to see if she would be interested in adding Hip Hop to her Ballet and Tap this year. Well Of course she fell in love with it. So it looks like I will be spending my friday nights in a dance studio. With three classes we will be there from 4:30 -7:00 every friday. Makes for a long night of dancing.

Well on to my project for today. It is an ATC I had done for a swap in one of my groups and just have not posted yet. The swap was a black and white swap but we were allowed to use one color as long as it did not over power our black and white. My card is titled "Love Vow" and you can probably guess why :)
Hope you enjoy and until next time Create great ART!!
