Look who's Dotty for Batman! Yes indeed, the Batman logo was also created using

Close To My Heart paper!!! This time using the retired Dotty paper.

Keep your eyes out, I might do some more soon!

Our lovely Guest Artist is BACK!!! With a special Thank You!

It s a special day here at Travels Through Life!!!

Our favorite Guest Artist is back!

 

Marcia Macsisak the owner of the blog: Cards With Marcia

 

was kind enough to let us show of her latest card even before her own blog has it!

 

She even included the original sketch she came up with for the vacuum cleaner.

 

 

While you cannot really see it the 'Thank You' above is in gold foil!

 

 

What is amazing is that the vacuum is not a Cricut Shape!

Well, it is a variety of shapes cut using the Cricut but not a pre-made

design, that is why this card is amazing!!!

 

This was the original sketch of what Marcia wanted to vacuum to look like.

I think she was spot on with the final product!

 

Keep your fingers crossed!  I'm begging Marcia to make another one so

I can video it and share how she did it with everyone!

 

Come on!  Post some encouraging comments and also check out Marcia's Blog too!!!

 

(and Marcia...you are welcome!  Thanks for the fabulous card!!!)

Congrats!!!

Life is better...

Yesterday I had the privilege to attend a wonderful Close To My Heart event; Making Connections.

One of things we did was to crush one of the Close To My Heart My Crush Books. We used the My Crush For Her book  (Z3081 $10.95) and made 2 layouts and 6 cards!

I plan on doing a Workshop on this soon!

Join my Close To My Heart team: Travels Through Life and I will show you how to have your own My Crush Book Workshop!!!

Matter of fact, if you join now depending on where you live you might still be available to attend one of the CTMH Making Connections events near you!!!

My S(?)he Art

She Art

 

If you do not already know what She Art is Google it now and look at 'images'.  That will give you an excellent idea to what She Art is!

 

Since I am not a 'She' this is an example of my 'He Art'...

 

When I did my Google search I was immediately drawn to a wonderful photo of a face (go to the link below and it is the last photo of Sara's She Art project) staring back at me!

 

Now honestly, when looking at my She Art I have NO IDEA how I went from that face to what I made but I am in Sara's debt for her inspiration on my first She Art project!!!

All of my project was done with Close To My Heart products!

 

Go hear to see what wonderful items you can find for you own She Art!!!

 

CLOSE TO MY HEART

Just Clowning Around...

While, naturally my first love is Close To My Heart I am going to start using up all my old papers that I have lying around.  This card is actually made with the CTMH Autumn Terracotta 1270 as the base of the card and the Clown Paper was from an offer I just could not resist!  A place up the way had a sale going on and there was a table of paper '5lbs for $1.00'. (Who could resist that, right?) Well, most of it was faded solid colors and then I saw a small piece of the clown paper sticking out and pulled out the whole stack and for less than $2.00 I was out the door!  Lol!

 

My Mojo Monday!

 

 

I'm ready for my Close-up!

 

 

Details, details...

 

All done! (Well, almost...)

The Clown Paper is called Le Cirque Collection from graphic 45 papercrafting but alas the copyright is from 2011 so not sure if anyone still has it.

The only Close To My Heart item was the plain card stock that I mentioned AND the AMAZING CTMH Scissors!!! 

I've always liked them just fine but only used them here and there for a quick cut BUT that changed when I made this card!!!  This cute flying clown above was trimmed around using these FAB scissors!!!

 

Here is more information:

 

BUY THESE NOW!  Seriously, they are THAT great!!!
