A New Challenge Blog......check it out !

I am a Guest Designer on My Artistic Adventures Challenge Blog....so go over and check it out. Just click on the badge on the top left of my blog. It begins today and the theme is HALLOWEEN.
Here is the link to her Etsy Shop where you can find the collage sheet we used and other great items to craft with.
Here are the projects I did for her :
Treat Bags
Since I am a Close To My Heart consultant, I used one of the products from their Halloween Treat Bag Kit and just used images from the collage sheet to decorate them.
I also made a card using a Gecko Galz image / www.geckogalz.com
also using one of the tickets from the collage sheet. I love all these little tickets !!!

Altered Playing Cards Challenge.....

Well, we are on a roll....... got the cards prepped and the first two are done. Most of the ladies are doing artsy cards and I am going a different route. I am doing a calendar thing.....since this is September, I started by doing two school cards and one has my grandsons name on the lunch box. I was gonna use them as cards and play with them -  but was pointed out by my dear friend Penny that you could memorize what cards were what since they are different.....so I am gonna buy a large frame and frame them.

About Me

My photo
Born in Illinois, moved to California when I was nine. Finished high school and some college. Got married and moved to Nebraska with hubby because he joined the Air Force. Then spent some time in Alaska before moving back to California. I lived in Californa until 2004 when my husband decided to move us to Texas. I still have a husband (yes-I still have him even though he moved me to Texas), two daughters, three cats (and two outside cats that adopted us along with two racoons that we feed). Things have changed, now that hubby retired......we moved to Colorado and have said goodbye to cats ( they are gone now ) No more racoons but we did adopt two rescue kitten from Hurricane Harvey.
