Winter Hat ATC 2

I made another winter hat atc for a private swap on atcsforall. This is also my first entry for the Project 52 challenge.

Book Page Backgrounds

I was inspired to make these atcs by a swap at ATCsForAll using a book page for a background (although these are not for the swap). I used distress inks, black embossing powder, Magic Mesh, twill tape, ribbon, and needlepoint thread.

Pug ATC

I recently joined ATCsforAll, and I made this for a 1:1 trade there. I saw an atc I wanted, and when I asked the artist if she was interested in trading, she asked me if I could do a pug. So this is my pug for her.

Snowman ATC

Just another snowman atc.

Clever Christmas - Cat ATC 2

I wanted to add a Santa hat to the cat I painted in my last ATC, so I did another one. Lots of fun!

Clever Christmas - Cat ATC 1

Our final lesson was plays on words - so this was what I came up with. It's been LOTS of fun!

Clever Christmas - Stocking ATC 2

Playing around with stocking designs of my own - and with writing haiku.

Clever Christmas - Stocking ATC 1

Lesson 4 was Christmas Stockings. This one was straight from Laure's demo and was fun to do!

Clever Christmas - Wreath ATC

I decided to add a bit of word art to my wreath for lesson 3. I used a sponge and rubber stamping ink for the edges of this atc. This is a fast class, but we're doing little projects and it's a lot of fun!

Clever Christmas - Snowman ATC 3

Lesson 2 in Laure's Clever Christmas class is all about snowmen - and this one is my favorite.

Clever Christmas - Hat ATC 2

This is another ATC for Laure's class. I used watercolor and ink, then added a couple of snowflake rubber stamps to the background.

Clever Christmas - Hat ATC 1

I'm taking another class from Laure Ferlita (my favorite teacher!). This one is a quick one - 5 lessons in 10 days! But we're doing quick little pages so it's LOTS of fun. I used glitter on the fur of Santa's hat, which of course doesn't scan well, so you'll just have to imagine that part. This is ATC-size (2-1/2 X 3-1/2 inches) on Stonehenge paper (which I've never worked with before).

Valentine ATCs

Terri Stegmiller posted some ATC's for trade on her blog, and I really liked them, so I told her I wanted to trade for one. This meant I had to make one for her, of course. So while I was making one, I made eight. I made them with my embellisher - I love that machine! I haven't used it in awhile, so it was a great excuse to use it again. Here is the one I'm sending to Terri:



I've saved out three for some friends:



And here are the other four:



If anyone would like to trade for one of the last four, please leave me a comment with a way to contact you. I'd love to trade!
