WW: Boo Tower - October ATC

Wonderful NEWS!


After over 3 months of being unemployed, I have found a job as a Bilingual Customer Service Rep at T-Mobile. Training begins on the 20th, which ironically is 4 months since I was last employed. There should not be any gaps in my postings due to an accomodating schedule....Thanks for visiting my blog!

Altered project: Mr Funny Bunny





I was commissioned to create a gift with a bunny image and the rest was up to my artistic ability. Initially I planned to get an unfinished wood frame, but when i was unable to find the right one I chose to use a canvas panel.

Favorites: My NEW Dymo Caption Maker




I just began using the new Dymo Caption Maker, and I am in love!
It came with 3 different font wheels and I added a 5 pack of separate color 3D tape since it only comes with black tape.
Back to enjoying my new TOY!

September ATC cards




For this month's ATC cards I had to think how I was going to incorporate the theme (Dimension & Texture). I found some free 3D brushes of gates/grasses online (dimension, to me) and then with my Cuttlebug's textile embossing folder added the texture. A big thanks to Marion for going above and beyond last month, specially since she has not been feeling well.
