Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) organized by Angie McKenzie using the Of Art & Texture stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. This blog hop falls on September 11, which is a very dark day in US history. The theme for this month, “The Way We Were” inspires me to create a memorial card.
My Of Art & Texture Project for today
This card is made with the Of Art & Texture stamp set. You can find it in the Online Exclusives.
I enjoy being a little more abstract in my creations. The Of Art & Texture stamp set lends itself to this. I had the idea of the United States flag in mind. It is fun to play around with the different shapes. The flag is then crumbled, flattened out and embossed with the Birch 3D Embossing Folder.
September 11, 2001 is a day I will never forget even though it was 23 years ago. I remember where I was, who I was with and what I was doing as I watched the planes crash into the Twin Towers. It was one of the worst days ever. I feel very Blessed that my New York family members were all safe. Sadly, almost 3000 people died that day.
