I think this is becoming addictive!

Yet another ATC...this is becoming an addiction. I guess there are worse things to find addictive, huh?

Wednesday Stamper - BLUE

OK....I may be getting a little caught up in this whole "blog thing." Two post in one day! I really didn't think I would even post twice a week. These are the ATCs I made for the Wednesday Stamper Challenge of the Week - BLUE. I had made the butterflies many months ago and thought they would be perfect for some project. Well, they are! I stamped the butterfly images onto a magazine page with VersaMark. Then I embossed each image with gold embossing powder and trimmed the edges. This technique works great with National Geographic, Martha Stewart or any magazine that uses nice, glossy heavy paper.

p.s....not only are the ATCs blue, but so are my fingertips! Staz-On Azure and Teal Blue to be exact!!!!

Adding ATCs - Flight of the Domestic Goddess

I've been brushing up on my scanning skills....not sure I am quite there yet. BUT...I have added the rest of the Flight of the Domestic Goddess Collection (although I seem to be missing one....perhaps she flew away to find her true calling).

Wednesday Stamper - Stitches

This is one ATC in a series of 5 entitled Flight of the Domestic Goddess. I created this series during a time in my life a couple of years ago when I was struggling with what I wanted to do with my life. I had been a stay-at-home mom since my children were born and I was trying to decide if there was more to me than the role of wife/mom. I cherished being a mother, but felt that there was something missing in my life. Eventually, I made the decision to take a leap, professionally speaking, and become an EMT. I love my job and my kids love that I am happy. This domestic goddess took a chance and it has turned out great! Posted for http://www.wednesdaystamper.wordpress.com

My Self-Imposed September Challenge

Yes, I have been curious about blogging for quite some time. Not one to engage in the whole "diary thing" I thought blogging would not be for me. But after my dear friend Marti introduced me to "Artful Blogging" I thought I'd give it a try. What a great way to combine my art and gift for babbling. So, I have decided to give myself a monthly challenge to give myself that much-needed kick in the creative a$$.

September's challenge will be to be artful each and every day. It doesn't have to be big or elaborate....just artful. Let's see if I can meet my challenge!
