the Star Shape to make a window....

 I wanted this to be easy to mail 

So I used the NEW We R Memory (FUSE TOOL)

and a Sheet Protector sleeve --- I added the amount 

of Sequins I wanted then sealed it up using the

fuse tool --- Attached it to the backside of the

Striped Card mat and popped the card mat up

just a little bit....

Every Hero....

Hello & Happy Tuesday Morning to ya!!! I hope you all had a Fabulous weekend! I spent mine watching videos on how to Color with my Spectrum Noir Markers... Talk about Time Consuming!!! :) I'm still learning how to color... Which I never thought I had a problem since learning how to color since I was what? 3-4-5yrs. old! LOL I did work on some projects as well....  Still have a few more to work on, but that's a crafters life! Am I right? :)
Today I want to share a card I made using Craftin Desert Divas - Stamp sets

Now.... I know I used 2 different types of Super Hero

Colors.... I was thinking... Most little kids tend

to wear different clothes from different

Characters because it's what they like.. So that's how

I came up with my fun little hero... Mixing a little

bit of Batman with Superman.... :)

I'm using - Calling all Superheros

I colored the image using my Spectrum Noir Markers

and some Strathmore Water Color Paper

The (BOOM) is from the Little Super Star

Stamp set... I've since corrected the

Blue coloring around the edges.... After learning

that the Blender pen is really an Eraser.... And that

you may have to go over it a few times --

Each time letting the paper dry First! :) See----

told ya I'm learning how to COLOR!!! Hahaha

Oh... I do want to mention that 

Craftin Desert Divas

Has a Great Linky Challenge Going on

A Sweet S'more's Treat bag!!!

My 12 year old son is Super Shy 

and we moved 8 months

ago to our new place and he had yet to

make any friends! Well... Now that it's Summer

Vacation I encouraged him to go and try and make

friends with some of the kids in the neighborhood....

He was reluctant of course.... But he did it!!!

And now he has made several friends and our

door bell rings 3-4 times a day with

kids asking if he could come out to play!

So... I thought I would make some treat bags for

the neighbor kids that he's made

friends with!!!!! :)

had the shape of the hot dogs.. this way I could

just attach the marshmallows on the different image!
