Disney LTC

This is my card for Disney Addict's "I Love All Things Disney" LTC swap.  Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 for $4.05 billion. 

I struggled to carve this stamp.  I had a large Etsy stamp order and was burned out.  I couldn't motivate myself to carve anything.  But eventually, I got my act together and did it.  I'm very happy with the stamp.

I have made saving cream backgrounds multiple times.  They are fun and easy to do.  But this time I am disappointed with the results.  I used alcohol inks instead of food coloring. 

I wanted blue for R2-D2 and orange for BB-8.  I did not have orange food coloring, so I used alcohol ink.  The color is very muted and I'm not happy with the background.  But I was running out of time and just made the cards.

Christmas Monsters LTC

School Mascot: Christmas Monsters

This is my card for SLeaves "School Mascot" LTC tracker. Early in the summmer we decided that if the kids had to wear masks at school, we would not send them back. We think it is not healthy and safe to wear face masks for long times. So, we are homeschooling 3 of our 4 kids. The oldest is in college and moved home because all his classes went online. 

 For the card, I rubbed Distress Inks (Wilted Violet, Blueprint Scetch, and Pine Needles) seperatly on my craft mat and sprayed them with water. Then I rubbed and tapped my paper in the ink. I stamped and embossed my stamp. When that was done, I cut out the monsters. Since it had to do with school, I added some old, torn, text papers to the background. I glued everything together with a glue stick. I ran out of the one I normally use and had to borrow one from the kids. I hope everything holds together. 

When finished, I mailed the stamp to Jiffy for a recap of 2020 event. I also sent her a dumpster fire that I craved just for fun. I may carve another and hide it here in town. I'm having a hard time thinking of a hiding place.

2020 Christmas Ornaments

Christmas Ornaments 2020:
Clothes Pin Nativity 

This is my 5th year to participate in the Christmas ornament swap hosted by Moose on the Loose.  I make something a little different each time but I have decided to start a series.  From now until whenever, I am going to make clothes pin ornaments.  They are cheap and easy.  

This year I made this nativity.  I got the idea from Pinterest and there are a TON of clothes pin ornaments there.  I'm thinking about making a snowman next year.  

The ornaments must have a stamp on the ornament or on a tag attached to it.  Mine was on the tag with my sig stamp and AQ number.  

After just 5 years my little Letterbox tree is really filling up :)
