My personal challenge...or, Watch This Space!

So my favorite guest artist Marcia was working on a card idea for the upcoming

Close To My Heart Convention at Disneyland

this is what she started with...

Well, she ended up going a COMPLETELY different direction

(will post a link to her 'real' card after it is on her blog)

so I decided I would let this be MY inspiration for a card to take to Convention!

 

I instantly knew what changes I wanted to make!

I will tell you one and the rest you will have to wait

for the updated post when I finish my card! 

Okay, as simple as it sounds

I think it will make a major change...

I will be making 'shadows' of the hexagon pieces that I use.

The rest you'll just have to wait and see!

Ice Cream for the June Stamp of the Month

Too cute!!! Just look at that happy little. Puppy!

 

 

He reminds me of my dog Hamlet! When he is extra good I give him a Frosty Paws treat which is basically an ice cream up for dogs. He scoots it all over the house until there is nothing left!

Check back! I'll be posting some projects that I have made using this stamp set.

Where ARE my manners?!?

I bet you are wondering just how you can get this limited stamp set, am I right?

Well, you can go here and buy it for $17.95:  Ice Cream Dream S1506

or...

You can go here: http://macsisak.ctmh.com/retail/category.aspx and order $50.00 worth of products and get the stamp set for only $5.00!

OR...

You can go here: http://macsisak.ctmh.com/retail/category.aspx and order $100.00 worth of products and get the stamp set for FREE!!! (Just place your order, pay the $5.00, shoot an email to me @ jrm@travelsthroughlife.com and once I verify your order I will send you $5.00 via PayPal.)

REMEMBER the link above for the Stamp of the Month does not go 'live' until June 1st!

Something wicked this way comes...

(Okay, just so we are all on the same page, when I said 'wicked' I of course meant that in the way they say "wicked" in the world of Harry Potter! You know, like "ultra cool!", "fanTASTIC!!!" and the like. Great! Now that we have that settled...)

Brace yourself for: Something new! Something fun!! Something educational!!!

Crafting with Sock Monkey!!!!

Soon...

Watch this space.

Told you so! Batman vs Superman Close To My Heart style!!!

Yes, as promised I used my Batman Hotel post to inspire more crafts! 

This Superman logo is actually made with retired Close To My Heart Christmas paper!

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!!!)
