Monster High Book Worm ATC/Bookmark

OMG!  It feels so good to be back creating.  I haven't been able to create in some time.  On June 29th I was diagnosed with breast cancer and on August 7th I had my 1st surgery to remove the cancer from my breast and they also diagnosed 2 of my lymph nodes with cancer, too.  So on August 21st I had my second surgery to remove more lymph nodes that thankfully came back negative!  Next week I have a couple of other tests before I start chemo and that I understand will be over the next 3 months then I have 6 weeks of radiation.  My underarm is a little sore but tolerable and I only feel at my best when I'm crafting (my therapy).

So today I bring to you a Monster High Book Worm ATC/Bookmark.  Even though my oldest daughter has been back to school since August 6th I figured since everyone seems to be having a Back 2 School challenge I just had to do something.  I decided to make an ATC but I also wanted to make it function as a bookmark too.  So I created a corner pocket for the ATC to slip over a corner of a page.  And of course it had to be Monster High for my daughter who loves all things Monster High!

I used these items to create my ATC/Bookmark:

• Design Studio (couldn't live without)
• Create a Critter Cricut cartridge (one of my favorite carts) - worm
• Wall Decor and More Cricut cartridge - book
• Monster High stickers - book and heart
• recycled Monster High doll box - cut out Monster High shield
• Purple (my favorite color) zebra stripe ribbon - left over from my daugher's Monster High Birthday party
• Index card - background
• white gel pen - outline book

I am entering this ATC/Bookmark in the following challenges:

• DL Art - Happy Birthday Linky Party + GIVEAWAY! - open til 8/31

Monster High T-Shirt made by 10 year old daughter!

So this post is not my typical post. In March my oldest daughter turned 10 years old and we had a Monster High birthday party.  She recieved many different kinds of Monster High related gifts and this T-Shirt Design Set was one of them.  Today she created this T-Shirt.

This T-Shirt is being entered in the Forever Night - Creepy Kids Challenge - Monster High theme - anyone under the age of 16 can enter.

Now here she is, my daughter Kaitlyn wearing the shirt!

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my daughter's Monster High T-shirt!
