Art Tech Field Trip



Wow! What a great day I had yesterday! I spent the day with some wonderful ladies making cards, having lunch and scrapbook shopping.


*******
We started the day at Art Tech in Greensburg where we made the two cards in the first picture. The Dad card was made using Perfect Pearls to make a faux hammered metal look embellishment. Let me tell you, making faux metal is fun! We glued, inked, powdered, brushed, watered, and pounded the crap out of those letters! The card on the end is my friend Sharon's (AKA BS#2), she and some of the other ladies made seashells on their card fronts instead of letters and wow did they come out super nice! Although they have been around for a while, perfect pearls are a great new product/technique for me! I have wanted to learn how to use them for a long time and now I know!

The second card in that photo is a neat paper weaving technique that is great for using up scraps! Gotta love that, who doesn't have a ton of those? It also uses the "leftovers" from a die cut as well! Bonus!! I like the cute quilty look of it as well. After I got it home here I added some glittery pen stitching to it and I think I may add a ribbon as well. It is definitely a card that I will make again.

Deanna, Sharon, Mary Agnes, Joan and Jean and Mickey and I had a delicious lunch at a little diner two doors away from Art Tech. I can't remember the name of the place unfortunately. I had the Hawaiian Ham sammie, thin sliced grilled ham, with melted provolone and a pineapple slice on grilled sourdough with honey mustard. The food was yummy and inexpensive and the company was very good as well! After refueling or bodies and resting up a bit, we were off to do some more scrapbook shopping.

Next on the list was the Crop Shop, a new scrapbook store in Greensburg, located near the new Sam's Club. I encourage you to check out their website. The store is brand new, beautiful and has lots of new product. I like how it is organized by theme. They have a quite impressive class/crop area with many die cutting tools and a Cricut! I will be going back to shop some more I am sure, since they have 4-H theme product and some other goodies that I am interested in!

Oh how I wish I could've gone! I could have used some relaxation time scrapping/cardmaking. I've had a nightmare of a couple of days. Identity theft is not fun! And when you use a debit card all the time you really miss it when you don't have one! I feel so helpless! The card look great- I love that technique on the DAD letters. Glad you had a good time!
