3 TIMES A LADY







I've used the same stamp to make 3 different ATCs. I would love to say "create 3 different ATCs" but having received some incredible cards from my swapping buddy Barb, I cannot possibly say I create them because that would put both lots in the same league and mine don't come anywhere near the quality of hers. True talent.



The backgrounds on numbers 2 & 3 are made using alcohol inks and number 1 is made with distress inks.



None are very imaginative but once again, I had fun.

A TREAT AWAITS YOU

If you have a minute please take a look at my Flickr. I have loaded some photos of the amazing ATCs I have received this week from my swapping buddies.
I think you will agree that there is some wonderful talent out there. Enjoy.
P.S. Leonie, you will appreciate 'Glastonbury' !!!

A BIT OF A BREAK




I've had a bit of a break from blogging for a few days while I make some cards for Dawn's support of our troops. When I go over to her shop and Lindsay Mason's workshop next month, I shall take them and keep my fingers crossed they are suitable for the cause.


Inbetween though, I have managed a couple of ATCs and this is one of them. It's covered with material on the outside and inked and stamped on the inside. A bit of fun.


I hope to update my Flickr later with pics of the gorgeous ATCs I have received from 2 of my swapping pals.


On a sad note, I just want to send Tim Holtz and his family my thoughts and support at this sad time. He had to let his gorgeous 14yr old dog, Cooper, go this week. I know only too well what he is going through just now.

I HAD FUN AGAIN!
















On a roll these past few days. Got to make the most of it when you are in the mood.





I changed a few colours and made some more flower ATCs, plus had a go at some more spurred on by this lovely Craft Stamper magazine.





Enjoyed every minute.

FLOWER POWER


There is a gorgeous card in the May Craft Stamper magazine which really took my eye. I decided to have a go at making an ATC based on the lovely colours used.


The centre flower is one I had dried quite some time ago and laminated to keep from breaking up. It seems to have worked well in this project. I'm going to have a go at another using different coloured distress inks and see what happens.
