Hubby and I are leaving Friday morning, the 27th for North Carolina....I will get to spend some much needed time with my family, we will stay with my sister....and there is a family reunion on Sat....We are trailering out bike too...Weather permitting we are packing the bike up on Monday morning and ride to West Virginia, spend the night and next day going to ride to Tn and spend the night there, then on Wed., we will go back to my sisters house and stay there until Sunday July 6th, then we ill come back home to Florida...

I am hoping it isn't quite as hot there as it is here....

Look what I won from Beth

I entered a drawing on the blog, Gathering Dust..... http://bethleintz.typepad.com/.......and Beth drew my name for the Box of Fun!.....as you can see it was loaded with lots of stuff and as promised I also got "Narrow Butts"....lol.....and this is not all of it, there are lots more but these were the best pics and they aren't in order, not sure what happened with that.....but the pic with the wrapping is tissue paper from sewing patterns, wasn't that so cool, I like using the pattern tissure paper in my art cards and such.....not sure what I will do with my new stash but after vacation(leaving Friday for NC)......maybe I will have time to play some...

Thanks so much Beth......

PID Challenge card

In the Paper Imagery Designs group,http://groups.yahoo.com/group/paperimagerydesigns/?yguid=223565682
we had a challenge to do art using a PID image and anything else we wanted too but there had to be Dots somewhere on the card.....
Background is scrapbook paper, rolled through a embossing thingy to get texture, rubbed with some ink, the boy image is from PID images, the mushroom and the word banner is from Lisa's Altered Arts,http://www.lisasalteredart.com/
the tree stamp is from Rubber Stampede.... and the bird is a Hallmark sticker!

ATC Jackpot

This is my ATC for the Paper Imagery Designs

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/paperimagerydesigns/?yguid=223565682

Its a new yahoo art group and they have a web site where they sell their images....it is a FUN group......They are having a ATC Jackpot where members post their atc using a PID image and someone will win all of the art that is entered....its like a Lottery on some groups...

I used cardstock, painted with Luminere paint, I love the shimmer of this paint, then I rolled it through one of those hand held embossing things(I found it at the Dollar Tree)..I like the testure it gives, then I chose 2 cat eye ink pads and rubbed over the raised parts with effects, I added the door and Tommy from PID, and typed the worddes and printed them up, colored with an ink pad a bit, then I use a photo holder from Debbie at :http://debbiesdiecuts.blogspot.com/

colored it up and added fibers and attached it with a brad....

I then used a chalk ink pad to outline the card and make it look like a door..
