More ATC’s


I don’t know whats wrong with me but I keep making ATC’s. I’ve always hated working with this size.

The top one was a “happy accident”. I was playing around with embossing powders by layering them when I accidentally smudged the still molten EP. I reheated it hoping to smooth it out a bit and decided it looked kind of cool. So then I scraped the cooling but still somewhat molten EP with a credit card. I then reheated it so it would smooth out a bit. The palm tree image is mounted with 3M foam tape.

3 ATC’s


I got a chance to play a little more today…

I also have a couple of postcard size substrate with modeling paste drying on them…not sure what the plan is but it will come to me when I sit down.

Busy bags

I’ve been so inspired by the Quilts & ATC’s blog. This wonderful woman is sew generous…I had to do it..sorry.

I have a ton of fabric and would love to put it use. I had been searching the web looking for local organizations that accepted small quilts for families in crisis, hospital patients or other charity when my friend, Andrea mentioned that her church was looking to put together some “busy bags” for the small children so use during church services. Their main sticking point was having to buy bags of the appropriate size. It was just meant to be…funny how things work like that. It’s also more meaningful to me since our daughter was Baptized in that church.

One down…


I was working on my place mats this morning. The first one turned out…the second one was a failure. The contact paper on the front buckled and I ended up with a U shaped place mat.

I need to punch some more squares since several got ruined when I peeled back the buckled contact paper.

I’m not giving up…I will make at least 4 of these so we’ll each have one for the holiday season.

What I’ve been doing…

I’ve been holding my little girl. She has had the sniffles for about 2 weeks but took a turn for the worse on Christmas Day. Yesterday I took her to the doctor after she spent most of the night “barking”. She has croup and a sinus infection. Poor little thing. We’re hoping she’s well by Tuesday which is her 6th birthday!

Today I’ve started punching out squares from old Christmas cards. I saw this blog post on creating placemats from old cards and pictures of family and friends. I have a several shoe boxes of old cards that will fit the bill. I think I’ll use clear contact paper instead of bringing them to Kinkos though, especially since I happen to have some laying around.
