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

Just a Little Thank You card

The other day while working on another project I was inspired to create this little thank you card.  The project I was working on wasn't turning out the way I wanted so I decided to trash it...I did though save some of the parts. 

I used these items to create this card:

• white and blue cardstock
• Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge
• a piece of basket wrap recycled from a gift - showing through the snowflake
• Martha Stewart punch set
• Many Thanks stamp and misc. snowflake stamps - on inside
• Snowflake die cuts and punches - on inside salvaged from project that wasn't woking out
• Stickles - on the Many Thanks stamp

Here's another view and the inside:

 You can see in the above photo how the basket wrap is peaking through the snowflake cut.

 I am entering this Thank You card in the following challenges:

• She's a Sassy Lady Challenge - Thank You Cards
• Paper Playtime Challenge #64 - Cricut Creation - Use Something Recycled
• Anythin Goes Challenge #57 - Colour Blue and One OtherColour

I just love these 2 colors together...I had so much fun creating this little thank you card.  I hope you enjoyed it too!
