The theme challenge was to make an Asian ATC card. I used my Cricut to cut the Dragon from the Pagoda Passion Cartridge and used a two inch circle punch to make this card.
I hope you like the card, it was fun to make, I ended up making a total of 11! lol.. Will be trading the extras..
Make today a great day!

Showing of a tray of butterflies I made. An ATC Swap I got from suralear1 (Sharon) and finally I share how I make Earrings out of Prima flowers and some bling.
The butterflies are made using polymer clay. Then I use various inks to color then seal. I found stamens for flowers that worked perfectly as antenni for the butterflies. I just fold these in half and cut off the fold and poked that into the hole I made in the butterfly.
If you have questions please feel free to ask.. Have a blessed day.. Agape’ Linda

Made with polymer clay, rubber stamp and alcohol inks. Fast and easy to make using only a few items.
Tools: Polymer Clay, Pasta Machine (Rolling pin or an old glass) Butterfly Cookie cutter, Stamp, baking tray, oven, Alcohol ink, Alcohol.
I mixed two clays because I thought I might use the butterflies on different projects and I wanted them to be stronger and the plain polymer clay can be fragile so adding the stronger one will help keep them from breaking so easily. But it isn’t necessary if you plan to glue them to a project that won’t get handled a lot.
The Alcohol ink and Alcohol is just one way to “paint” them, I have used acrylic paints and spray paint and just about anything else you can think of on the market, that is just what I used in this video…
When I glue them to a project I sometimes mix glues, white glue and hot glue or an epoxy, depending on what it is I’m using the butterfly for and how much handling it will get. Take a look at some of my other videos and you will see me using a mix of products to adhere the butterflies.
If you have questions please feel free to leave them in the comments and I’ll will answer them.. Thank you for viewing the video…

How I set up my Video Camera, which is actually a digital camera that is video capable. I used materials I had around the home and purchased: 2 lights, (wiring supplies) and a gorillapod tripod. So far I think this works for me, maybe it will help you in finding a better solution for you? If you have questions please feel free to ask.. A special Thank you to my Husband Henry for helping me..
Update: I have purchased a Sony Handy Cam and my videos are much better because of this purchase.
The other thing I have done different than the video above is added more lights. It is hard to tell in the photo but I have added 4 more clamp on lights with the daylight bulbs. I think it makes my videos much brighter than the earlier ones.
I’m looking into purchasing another camera soon so that I can take shots from multiple angles. Like taking a head shot of me talking while I’m making an item. Then when I edit the video I would insert the talking head part between my hands working. I would move my “stand” to accommodate this option.. I’m also looking for other types of cameras for live streaming.. So much more I want to do, and so little time…
I hope this helps you with your video setup! Have a blessed day…
Lion wall art that I made to give to a friend. Rubber Stamped and embossed in gold ink on brown paper. Used scrap paper and put inside a brown frame. Took less than 10 minutes to make this piece. Quick and easy… Feel free to ask any questions regarding this piece.. I’ll be glad to answer them. 
Thanks for stopping by.

My version of using Tim Holtz™ Adirondack® Color Wash™ on water color paper, then Stamping over with Stazon ink and Brilliance Ink. I also created my own glimmer spray using acrylic floor wax and Pearl Ex powder.
Thank you for visiting.

An ATC (Artist Trading Card) made for the OFB ATC group where I work. The challenge was to use Yellow and Brown some how on the card. I chose to use some scrap paper and a couple of rubber stamps to create this ATC.

The following is of an ATC (Artist Trading Card) that I made for a swap group I’m involved with at work. I used standard white cardstock, D.O.T.S. Rubber stamps, Stazon Ink, Distress Ink by Tim Hotlz, and Oil Pastels. I was able to make the card in about 15 mins. just decided to speed up the video so it wouldn’t take so long! lol… In this project I used masks, where a piece of paper is used to cover an image while other work is done then it is removed to revel the image underneath. This helps to make the image look like it is in the background.. I liked using the Oil Pastels, these blended so nicely. I plan to use these more in other art. If you have questions please feel free to leave a comment.
Thanks for visiting.. Have a blessed day!
