ATC Swap

The theme for the June swap was birds...

SWAP Time

 

For one of the groups I belong to I signed up for some of the swaps....They have different areas and I chose ATCs with a bird theme...The other one I chose was a color theme of gold, red and turquoise.

ATC Swap

Oriental was the theme for the May swap...

ATC Swap

The theme for the month of April is Western...Here is my take on it...Everything is colored with Copics...Really like them the more I use them!

LONG TIME NO POST....

Apparently because I have been in the winter doldrums!...Well I guess it's time to come out!...At least my muse didn't leave as I have been creating...So I'll not waste anymore time and get on with what I've done since December...


ATCs for Dec, Jan and Feb...

ATC Swap

Our ATC swap them for November is "Ornaments". I made my ATCs so that they could hang if so desired.

Ahhhh! Fall weather is FINALLY upon us. Love the fall weather. Love the fall colors also. Probably my favorite season of the year. Our theme for October was Thanksgiving. Here are mine.

My favorite time of year....FALL!...wish the weather would start cooperating...still hot and humid...anyway...our theme was fall, fall leaves etc...the leaves were to be embossed...I embossed a leaf border, added stickers and leaf embellishments.

The ATC's that I did for a swap. I decided with my new found skill of water coloring I would give it a try. I stamped the watercolor paper with black StazOn. Once dry, I used my watercolor pencils and a REALLY small brush. Also used one of those "water brushes". I probably should have photographed them seperately but didn't. Maybe next time as it is rather hard to tell some of the differences.

ATC SWAP

Where has this month gone? I can't believe it's pretty much over and now it's time for school! My how time flies (or not) when you're having fun! I figured I had better get some updates done on projects I've been doing before I become slightly encapiticated next Wed. They are going to operate on my left wrist (yeah! I'm right handed) to help with a tendon/surrounding sheath problem. It is NOT carpel tunnel. Soooo...anywho...the swap for the month of March is "things that bounce"..umm..very interesting. It took me awhile to think of things that bounce. You can see what I came up with! It will be interesting to see what I get in return.

ATC SWAP

Gosh it's almost Christmas! Time is rushing by so fast! Have you finished your shopping yet? I think I'm finished, at least I hope so! Anyway, the theme for the December swap was "snow" and anything to do with it. So, here are mine.

ATC Swap Nov

WOW! Where has the year gone? Can't believe that Christmas is almost here. Have you finished your Christmas shopping? I'm almost done......I think......I hope! Anyhoo...our swap theme was about trees. Had to have a tree of some sort.

ATC SWAP

Can't believe that Halloween has come and gone and that the holidays are getting closer. Guess I'd better get to working on my Christmas cards!

In the meantime I did an ATC swap for this month (Nov.). The theme is Thanksgiving. Here are my 5.

ATC Swap

It's that time of year! Fall is in the air and the leaves are starting to change....a little...That means holidays are just around the corner! It also meant our ATC swap was all about Halloween. It seems I have accumlated quite a few cut outs so decided to use some of them for the ATCs.

"BACK ON TRACK"

Isn't is amazing how we can get side tracked in life? I feel like I've been derailed and going down who knows what track! Between having all the home repairs done, getting ready for "back to school", more home repairs etc. etc. I took a different train for a while. Well, I'm hoping all that is over. I am now back on my "art-train" and have been doing some creating. So let's get started!

The ATC swap for August was Fall (trees, leaves etc.).

ATCs

My submissions for the July swap entitled "Flowers". I used decortive papers then added embellishments.

May ATC Swap

Gosh it's been forever since I posted but things have been busy! We're having some work done outside the house...MAJOR work! Our old screened in porch is now becoming our enclosed sun room and we're getting a new screened porch added on with a deck! Practically takes up the entire back of the house! It'll be worth it in the end...If that wan't enough our master bath shower sprung a leak and was dripping through to the family room floor! So now I've got workers taking care of that! HELP! In the meantime I've been able to do a little crafting so here's teh ATCs I made for the swap in May. The theme was about men.

ATCs

The theme for April's swap was children.
These are what I did.

March's theme for the ATC swap was heavenly, clouds, stars. Here is what I came up with.

The theme for February's ATC swap was Animals - Pets and/or wild. I don't have any "pet" stamps so went for the wild animals!
