Wahoooooooooooooooo……Mojo came home!!!!

Hey Everyone……Happy Tuesday to you all!!!!  I hope you are all having a very blessed week so far……..It’s going to be getting chilly here again and rain is on it’s way….but all is well in the world cause I PLAYED WITH PAPER!!!! Yeah ME!!! Winking smile  It really felt good to be creative again and I had a lot of FUN!!!!!  I needed to work on an ATC for a swap I’m participating in over at the Black Cat Forum…….. http://www.blackcatus.com ……a WONDERFUL group of ARTists over there….and EVERYONE is welcome…you don’t have to own a Black Cat Cutter at all to join in on the fun and friendship……..people own every cutter imaginable and they are all welcomed with open arms!!!  The theme for the ATC Swap this month is “Express Yourself”  You’re to create an ATC that shares a bit about yourself…….Soooooo……I thought about it for a while……Purple is my favorite color…..I am a VERY strong Christian….and I consider myself a Sister in Christ to all fellow believers!!!!  Here’s what I came up with…..

So….Do you like it?????  I am quite pleased with the way it turned out…I used one of my Cross files, my Grungy Rose file, one of my Vine Files  and I had make the banner  file based on one of the dies on the market……I love using these as a cut file because I can resize to whatever size I want…..I’m listing the files I created below as a refresher to where they are if anyone is interested in them and hadn’t previously gotten them……I had so much fun making these and I “think” it’s got my creative mojo working again….I sure hope so as I have other things I need to create for some swaps I’m in my ARTHaven group……..LOL

I have something else I want to share with you too…This is EXCITING…….You know how so many of us like to try to get as much use out of our cutting mats as possible……we try everything we can think of to “re-sticky” our mats……from the Jumbo Zig Glue Pens….to the Tack it Over and Over Glue/Water Solution…..to Spray Adhesive….then we have to wait and wait and wait for it all to dry….then knock down some of the sticky before we can begin using again….It works…but isn’t it a PAIN in the booty…..LOL  Well GUESS WHAT!!!!!  You’re going to LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS…I PROMISE you!!!!!  Sherri over at That’s Scrap Inc…….You know…the person I ordered my Black Cat from….Well…she has come out with this AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING stuff……..You are going to FLIP over!!!!!!  It’s called…..

Re-Nu sheets

image

It is SO SO SO easy to restick your mats using this stuff and it’s very reasonably priced….you get A LOT of use from these…….the sticky is the perfect amount to hold your paper but releases SUPER  SUPER easy!!!!  If you’re looking for something to make your life easier to get the papers off your mats…You’ll definitely want to give some of this a try….And just so you know…NOPE I’m not getting any kind of a kick back for this……It’s just an amazing product and I know you all are going to LOVE this stuff!!!!!  Just another product that Sherri and Dawn are striving to find/create for us ARTists to make our creating time more fun and easy!!!!! 

Okie Dokie Artichokie!!!! Guess that catches me up for tonight!!!!! THANK YOU so much for sticking with me…….I hope you like my little creation and I hope you’ll come by and visit me again….I also pray you all have a very blessed week!!!! Until next time….

  1. Beautiful ATC's Penny! They absolutely say "Penny Duncan" all over them :)Love the crosses and the roses and vines are as lovely as they always are. Thanks for the heads up on the re=nu sheets. I just re-glued my mats the other day and then struggled to get the paper off for the 100th time! I will definitely have to contact Sherri and give these a try. Do you use your old Cricut mats or the BC mats? I have both but use the Cricut mats most.

    Have a Blessed Day Penny! (As you bless so many of us with your ART.)

    P.S. I love the color purple too. It was my mom's favorite color. She had a big deep purple winged velvet chair in her living room when I was growing up. I think folks thought she was crazy with that chair!

  36. Love this ATC! And, if you were trying to create one that said,"Penny Duncan!", you succeeded. I would have known this was a PDCreation no matter where on the net I had seen it. It is beautiful!

  37. Oh my, your ATC cards are gorgeous. I never knew what they were until I found your blog a year or so ago. I wish I had one made by Penny! LOL. I comment to your quite often, you always amaze me with the talent God has blessed you with. Now I'll have to wait until I get back home from vacation in a few months to make one out of your files. I had to decide bringing along my Cricut Expression or Imagine and I went with the Imagine and white paper. I had to think of weight in our RV. Come to find out, hubby informed me last night that we are 3,000 lbs under the max limit. Grrr. LOL.

  38. Penny- this is absolutely gorgeous- but then I did not need to tell you thin=s, did I??? LOL I like to trade ATC's- I have a group exchange locally monthly- keeps me on my toes! Thanks for the files- gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh, Penny ... what a gorgeous, gorgeous ATC!!!! The beauty of Christ shines through so very clearly. I will enjoy the files that you so kindly share with us, but I know that I can't possibly do them justice like you do. :) Love your work.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Your ATC's are beautiful!! I found your blog via Pinterest... someone had posted your butterfly tutorial link. :o) Those are awesome too! My last name is also Duncan... :o))

  41. Gorgeous ATC's, you are so talented.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Penny what absolutely beautiful, stunning ATCs you've made! What a blessing to any Christian sister to receive such a card. I have a friend who I am sure would love to receive something like that - you have inspired me!! I also love your grungy rose, which I haven't downloaded the svg for, I don't think - a lovely new flower to make. So pretty, like an old fashioned English country cottage garden!

    I heard about the Re-Nu sheets from Dawn on our Black Cat forum (which is a totally awesome place to be, I have to say!!) - aren't they a brilliant idea? Not that I'm at the stage of needing them yet... I haven't really got started yet, but it looks as if I have blunted my blade by cutting too deeply, so another is on its way. Getting the settings right is so hard at the beginning. I so want to be as expert as you, Penny!!

    Hugs,
    Shoshi
