Cancer Awareness...

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I have been working hard on some upcoming projects and still trying to get caught up here! Today's post is about an ATC Swap we had last month (October 2014) in Kristy's Bloomin' Journey Facebook Group. The biggest rule when creating them is to have FUN and second to use a product from ONE of the following companies... Fun Stampers Journey, Spellbinders, Celebra'tions, A Gilded Life, Media Mixage, Designer Collections, Die Templates, M-Bossabilitites, Impressabilities, and Heartfelt Creations.  Our challenge for October 2014 was to create ATC's that would show Awareness For Causes that mean something to us. I chose the color of Lavender... which stands for ALL CANCERS. In my family we have been through many different forms of Cancer struggles. 

The Item that I used to qualify for the swap is a Spellbinder Shapeabilities Die Called Vintage Lace Accents S5-108.

Metal Owl...

Hello Everyone! It has been a bit since my last post... I was busy creating and posting on my Dark Blog for the 31 Days of Halloween 6 with Smeared and Smudged! I had a blast... I made it through all 31 Days! Woo Hoo! That should help to explain my absence here. Anyways, it's time to play a little catch up as I was also creating some other goodies too. 

Since I am now designing for my friend Kristina Deyette, at Kristy's Bloomin' Journey Facebook Group. She is currently selling crafting products for a NEW company called Fun Stampers Journey. Well one of the fun events that she holds monthly in her Facebook Group is ATC (Artist Trading Cards) Swaps! For the Month of September we were to create Owl ATC's.

Fun Stampers Journey, Spellbinders, Celebra'tions, A Gilded Life, Media Mixage, Designer Collections, Die Templates, M-Bossabilitites, Impressabilities, and Heartfelt Creations. 

The Item that I used to qualify for the swap is a Spellbinder Die Called Sprightly Sprockets S5-048. I just love Steampunk so that is what I needed to go with! :)
