Fun with Make It Monday


Make It Monday #183: Dry Embossing Over Heat Embossing

This weeks fun MIM is by Dawn McVey



Hi, I made my card early Monday morning and thought I might be the first to post. Before I finished my post my daughter asked if I wanted to go to Disneyland with her and the kids. I went and now I can’t move ... I think all we did was walk , walk and walk some more. I feel so old, but my daughter said she is super sore as well ... and she is in great shape. I told her I was glad she was sore too :) That way it’s not just my age. Hope to make a few more.

Just to let you know it never quite got as hot as weather man reported, but it was hot about 100.

Take care!

  1. This is such a fun Thanksgiving card. I love the look of the double embossing. Sorry you are sore, but what a great reason--going to Disney with your family. It's even really hot here today.

  12. Oh that life that gets in the way of card making! (And photo shoots, and posting...:) Hope DL was worth the sore spots (know it was!) We escaped to the beach, but it was hot there too!
    Oh yes, I'm here to comment on gobble gobble. Cute and more cute! Love the subtle color change on the feathers! Hope it's finally cooler!

  13. This is a fun card, Marybeth. Love the you used the chicken wire impression plate; it just seems fitting with the turkey.
    I'm sure the reason you were sore was due to the 100-degree temps being thrown into the mix of walking and Disney. That would be enough to cause anyone to droop. Oh, you could toss about 10-15 degrees my way and I wouldn't turn them down. I'm not ready for our cooler temps yet because that means winter follows. Brrrr.

  16. Love this technique from Dawn... your card is darling! I've still never been to Disneyland/world! Sounds like one is never too old to enjoy it, Marybeth. I quote my mom: "growing old is not for pansies."

  17. You are so funny...you are the "youngest" grandma I know and I know exactly what you mean about being sore after walking all around Disneyland! Love your sweet turkey...was wishing I had that sentiment myself!

  18. Just say NO to the 'old age' excuse for feeling sore, Marybeth! Even the young uns feel it after a day at Disney~it's all part of the experience. THAT's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;-)
    Love the funny turkey card, great embossing choices for this week's MIM.
