Now for My Card:) I choose the Nursery Rhyme
I see the Moon:)

I see the moon
and the moon sees me
The moon sees the somebody I'd like to see.
God bless the moon
and God bless me
God bless the somebody I'd like to see!


I started with a 21/2 x 31/2 base using  Paper from Tim Holtz Retro Stack to get my Background Base
I then cut a 2 1/4 x 31/4 black base for my sky. 
I used a circle punch to get my moon using a silver textured paper.Added stars to the background with a silver creative memories Pen.
I then cut strips to make my window panes.
I cut a circle base for my little girls head then quilled paper to make her curls and added a bow. Her body is just scraps cut into a body scape by hand:)
To make the curtains I used wire for the rod and wrapped lace around it. I then tired them back with bows. 

I hope you enjoyed my card as much as I enjoyed making it.

What A Day!!



Well It has been a very long day I have taken my littlest daughter up to her Girl Scout camp for the Week:( I will miss her bunches. It is her first year going by herself. Last year her older sister was in the same camp as her. I thought it would be a little tough for he but she was settle in with in an hour and ready for mom and dad to go. I was the one having the tough time. But I did well to hold back my tears until I was out of her sight then cried like a big baby in the car. I am very happy she made friends really quickly and was off and ready for adventure. As for me I will count down the days till she comes home.

 I was unable to make a card to share today since I was on the road all day. But don't forget to come back tomorrow for our ATC Sisterhood Nursery rhyme Blog Hop:) The Hop will start at  atcsisterhood.blogspot.com tomorrow and run thru June 3oth. They are a group of very talented ladies involved in the hop.Until then Goodnight and Create Great ART!!

As I spent Tuesday trying to get unpacked and my house back in order I did not get a chance to get into my craft cave at all :( Today was a little more of the same thing plus I had some evening obligations. But I was able to get into my Craft Cave tonight. The Atc I created I designed for the trading post on one of the Cafe mom's groups I belong to. I decided to go with one of my favorite books this time:) My Card is themed off of Twilght:) I Inked the Base in to colors. Cut a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 black base added a red triangle to it. Accented with silver to cover the split. Tore pages from one of my more used copies of the actual book to put on the card.  Add the Twilght word using pop dots. Hope you enjoy. Have a wonder day and create great ART!!
