Wild Thing ATC

Hello all and Happy Monday!  Just a quick post today of the ATC I made when I should have been working on my midterm paper.  Oh well.

My ATC uses a "sweet" little guy from the Monster Blocks Mini Set at Bugaboo Stamps.  I used some VERY bright papers, sewing, flower die, and pop dots.  I made this for the Fangs challenge at Wicked Wednesday and added the flowers for the ATC's With Attitude.

Trying to show dimension.  OK, back to finish up my "real" work.

Beanies Easter 2013

Hello all!

I finally got a chance to pull out my Cricut and make an Easter card for Beanie.  Not to get preachy, but sometimes it can be difficult keeping the true meaning of Easter in the forefront of the bunnies and chocolate, but I'm still going with "cute" this year.

Isn't she sweet?  I got her from Miss Kate Cuttables, using MTC on my Cricut and the cuts were so super clean.  I actually cut everything in white and colored the layers as needed.

Beanie came in and said "oh how cute!" and I got this disappointed look on my face and said "awww, don't look."  She said "I didn't see anything!  Nope.  I have no idea what you're working on" and walked out of my room backwards with her eyes closed.  I was thinking of putting her in a frame, to be replaced by the next card.  This way, they don't get handled (aka destroyed), and she can have them when she's older but still appreciate them now.

This meets the following challenges:

• Bearly Mine - Easter
• Nutcrafters - Something Starting With "B" (Blue, Brown, Bunny)
• Whimsy Stamps - Stitching
