Disney Donations

These are my stamp donations for the It's a Small World, after all! the Ultimate Disney event.  I carved the BB8 for an LTC last year.  I am very happy with how Anna & Elsa turned out.  I hope the folks in NC have a great event!!

Let's Go Camping LTC

New Distress Crayons! 

I can't pass up a camping LTC swap.  I wanted to, because it had a short deadline, but I can't.  This is my card for brailleboxer's "Let's go camping" swap.

I carved up a camping image from Life is Good.  I love their simple images and this will probably be my annual Mother's Day plant.  I stamped the stamp on watercolor paper and embossed it with glow in the dark embossing powder :D

Let's go camping: Five Star Restaurant 

I really enjoyed coloring the background.  I found these Tim Holtz distress crayons.  There are many different ways to use them.  I colored the crayons on the paper and then painted them with a water brush.  I also played around with rubbing the crayon on Plexiglas and then painting on the paper.  I liked it but it was too light.  I bought a few different packs of the crayons and you will see more of them in the future :)

I ruffed up the edge of the watercolor paper and glued it to a black background.

Bowling Green, Ky

Hartford, Ky

My boxing buddies and I went down to Bowling Green, Ky on Saturday.  G-MA and Puppy Love picked me up around 8:30 and we headed out of town.

Bowling Green is about 2 hours southeast of us.  A new box had also been planted in Hartford and we stopped to get it on the way.   This box is what prompted our trip.  G-MA saw the new box come up and asked if there were any other boxes there.  I told her that if we were going to Hartford we would have to go to Bowling Green too.

The weather started off a little cool but it was nice.  We looked for 17 boxes and found 16.  A few years ago G-MA and Puppy Love went to Bowling Green without me (what?!) and they got one of the same boxes.  So it was 16 for me and 15 for them.  We left 3 hitchhikers and found 4, wow!

You might recall, that G-MA, Daddy's Favorite Princess, Lil Ewok, and I boxed in Bowling Green last spring.  We got 16 boxes that day too :)  On that day we got a box at an ice cream place and we talked about finding it again to get some more ice cream but couldn't remember where it was.

Once we were on our way back to Evansville, I looked up Atlas Quest on my phone, and the Bowling Green boxers planted 2 new new boxes while we were there!  One was for the Bowling Green Massacre and one at an ice cream place.  I guess we need to make going to Bowling Green an annual trip :)
