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.

Here's what I've created for you today...


I saw awhile ago on YouTube an idea for a magic card.  I thought it would go perfect with the sentiment I used from the Calling All Superheroes stamp set. But I wanted to come up with a different way using the CDD Banner dies to pull it off. After several prototypes I finally did it!  I heat embossed the image on the acetate paper which you can find HERE.  I lined it up by making a template first on vellum so the stamped image underneath would line up.  I used the oval die to cut out the center.  The picture above is how it will look when the person opens it. It looks plain, but then..........


 they pull up the tab and WALAAH! A cute little colored Superhero image!  I used the flag stamp from the Tag It stamp set.  The tag pull on top is the square die from the new Tag Essentials die set. The larger of the banner dies is the gray paper, the smaller one is the yellow paper.  The itty bitty bats are a small punch I bought around Halloween time.


Check out the pretty sequins that has been added to the shop....









You can find them HERE

I hope you have enjoyed this release. Have a great weekend!!!
