Asking for ATC Admirers!

These are my ATC's (Artist trading Cards) for a Chain swap that Gillian is organising. It is an international swap of only 6 cards, and on any theme you want! You pass one card to each of the people on the list, then remove the top person and add your name onto the list and give out the letter to 6 more people. Easier to explain in the letter that Gillian sent. I am in desperate need to recruit more people, so please contact me ASAP if you would like to join in, I only need 4 more contacts!

These are a few of my FAVOURITE things....

Well at last! The circle Journal which started in august has come back to me. What an exciting thing to do. For those who dont know what it is or havent done it before, it is where you each make a book where you each do one page and pass it on for the next person to do a page. What a thing to treasure! Thanks to all those on the Craftz under the willow forum who took part!

Spring has Sprung

My entry for the Ink Stains Monthly Competition on... 'Spring Flowers', thought I would use up my bits left over from the cj (see previous post). The second picutre is to try and show you that I cut out the bigger flowers, inked and 3d mounted them.

You've heard of Green & Black's, well this is Green & Pinks!

Being desperate to use my new HUGE BLOOMS, and get more into chipboard. So dug out these cute buckles from my sisters TLC range, and a bloom that Gillian sent me as part of my price. The card is a bit bright, but I thought, hey! Bound to bring a smile and a cheer (me hopes)! I also needed to make another Mother's day card, so this is for the mother in law. The other one I have made (for my mum) I used smelly draw liners, and stamped it using tapestry stamps so you can get a smelly card, there free tip for the day!
Here you go... just added a pic!

Come Fly With Me

Taking up the challenges once again, and I have managed to do another combo. For DCM step outside your comfort zone and have a go at something new - be it something you have never tried, or something you havent done for ages, and ink stains forum Use a stamp you haven't use yet! I know we all have plenty of those in our stash! So make a card using a stamp you have in your stash but haven't used yet! To make it a bit more interesting, I challenge you each to use ribbon on your card as well! It even inspired me to do more!

Hooray Hoo-RHI for my Pink Package

Thanks to Rhi for another package through the letter box, some lovely dark primas and metal embellishments, already got to work on thos lovely fibres and a pink tag on the latest DCM challenge. Thank you RHI! OOh not forgetting the fab alphabet also!!!

Complete Circle

Phew! Well I have just finished and parcelled the last page in the circle journal I have been doing for the Craftz Under the Willow forum. The umbrella theme was 'Favourites', so topics included favourite coluors, favourite things (my topic), favourite songs (just completed), favourite recipes, favourite holiday destinations, favourite book, favourite animals, amd favourite desserts

Cheating the System

Using the lovely papers Gillian sent me, some clear stamps (cant remember the make) and ribbon supplied from Paper and Pearls, and some flowers from Jo

Feel as if I cheated a bit on this card... I was completing a challenge for Card Positioning Systems and haven't really used all the elements in the sketch, but it was based on it, oh well at least it gets my parents anniversary card done!

Stocking up on the Stash

Wow what great fun it has been, winning a prize!.... The post just keeps on coming. Look at these lovely juicy bits that I kindly recieved from Jo and Gillian
