About Me

My photo
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
I am a stay at home mom..now that is! February 19th, 2007 I was involved in a car accident while on vacation in Florida. I awoke in ICU to find out that my only two children Annemarie age 3 and Michael age 5 did not make it. Scrapbooking became such a big part of my life. It helped fill a void that I desperately needed to fill. Our therapist suggested that I take up scrapbooking as a way to memorialize my children, little did she know! So I took that and ran with it.I became obsessed with scrapping and took over the second largest room in my house. Because of my injuries I couldn't go out and get a job, I just scrapped!I printed out 2,000 photos and my journey began. I have made albums for family members and layouts to decorate my craft room. We thought we were done having kids but who expected this tragedy??? I just gave birth in June 2009 to two beautiful baby girls Mia Anne and Gianna Marie named after their brother and sister.I swore that I would keep up with their albums so I won't become overwhelmed so we will see how that works out! My profile picture is the last family picture that was taken of all of us.

Under the Sea.......




I recently got these adorable Peachy Keen stamps and I have been dying to try them out. I stamped the images and then cut them out and then popped them up with mounting dots. I also cut the frames out with my Nestabilities and then shaded it with my Stampin Up Chalks. You can not see the detail here but I covered the frame in Versamarker ink and clear embossing powder to give it a glass/water look. This was also my second attempt and playing with my Copics.

Supplies used:

Copic Markers - BG01, B95, Y21 and a couple other ones for shading that I forgot to write down
Stampin Up chalks & Ink
Stickles
Life's A Beach Cricut Cartridge for the seaweed
PK-950 Under the Sea for the Blowfish& seahorse
PK-951 Sea Animals & Creatures for the Bubbles
PK-241 Happy Birthday Kids for the sentiment

I submitted this card to the following challenges:

Friday Sketchers
Get Sketchy
SPCC
Pollycraft Challenge
Creative Card
Doodle Palace
Copic Colour Challenge
