Married

2010-07-26T21:12:00.005-04:00

I was married finally on July 17,2010! So after a brief honeymoon I am back to crafting. I have been taking a class in altered art..it's been amazing, I've also started a new meetup group and we will be meeting once a month or so, it's a really exciting time for me! My daughters birthday is coming up and she has asked me if we could go somewhere so I've decided to take her to the Winchester House in CA. It should be an exciting trip. If you don't know the history check it out on google because it's very interesting!!

Mixed Media...I love it!

2010-06-26T23:01:00.003-04:00

After a minor family disruption I am back on my feet stronger than ever! I have been teaching some classes and I'm working on a few other projects! I will get some pictures together soon! I've also taken a few classes that have really gotten me excited about mixed media!!! I will be submitting some of my work to a mixed media magazine in the near future!!! Things are good and I can't wait to share everything with you!!!

I am finally back from surgery recovery and I'm ready to scrap!! While in recovery my oldest daughter and I (mostly she) have been working on a new project!!

Been Awhile

I know it's been awhile since I last blogged but I'm in the process of moving and things have been a little crazy! I just wanted to show you a few of the ATC's I've been working on.

Paper Doll

2009-02-05T21:39:00.001-05:00

I had to share this with you! I made her for Valentines Day for my mom! The only thing I did was cut off that thumb and place it up on the hand so it looks like she is actually holding the flowers!! This was done with the Cricut Expression, Paper Doll Dress Up!

Iris Folding

2009-02-05T21:30:00.000-05:00

This was my first attempt at Iris Folding, I wasn't going to post it but decided to anyway to share with you some tips and tricks I used and what not to do as well. If you look at the glitter around the heart you can see it's kinda messy looking, well, I fixed that by using my bone folder around it and cleaning it up when it was dry, so now it looks like a neat outline!! Also, if you look at the top of this heart, I went down to far with the 7th fold, the top one, all the folds at the top should be meeting at a point, so it should be moved up. I really like Iris Folding, you can find tons of free patterns on the web!!

A little over a year ago I found my birth family and it has been an amazing journey!! My birth parents were not married. I found my birth mother first and found out after being an only child I had 3 sisters. She told me the name of my birth father and I found his family but was told he had died a year previous. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister on that side. I found his sister and we have stayed in contact. I love my Auntie Theresa, she has given me family recipes and heritage. I never would have dreamed that I would have ever found my birth parents and birth family. My mother is 81 and sharp as a pin, I am very lucky!! Here is a simple card I made for my Aunt with
my Cricut Expression!
