ATC (MINI PIECES OF ART)

Good morning, I am here to early on Sunday morning and wish that I was still sleeping. I had a great time with my friends yesterday at our bi-monthly crop. As usual we had good food and lots of fun. I got quite a bit done on my daughters Las Vegas album and hope to finish it soon. But, today I am just going to show some ATC's that I made for a swap a couple of weeks ago. The swap was over at the Stamping Ground for the "Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday" 3rd anniversary celebration. If you don't know what it is, you should really check it out this Wednesday. It is loads of fun and a chance to visit some other blogs and see what others are working on.

The base is made from paper that was left from an envelope mini album that I made a few months ago. The paper is from Recollection, the Femme Fatal pad. The strips were adhere on an angle and then a thin coat of glitter glue was added. Once that dried I popped up the sentiment and the word artist was copied from a set of embellishments that I bought at Joann's for $1. I scanned them, enlarged the word artist, cut it out and put a layer of glossy accents on. I love the effect that I got. You can see the glittery shine from the Tulip diamond glitter. I used the Krylon 18kt gold leafing pen to go around the edges of the cards.  Well, that is it. I hope you enjoyed your visit. The sentiment is Tim Holtz.

WOYWW #156 3RD ANNIVERSARY (ATC SWAP)

Hey everyone, it is that time again. Wednesday and time to get nosey and take on the worlds biggest blog hop. Don't have a clue what I am talking about, well go on over to the Stamping Ground for a visit with our wonderful hostess and check it out. It is a time to go around and take a peek at what other crafters are working on and you might just get some ideas for that next wonderful project. My to do list has gotten very long since I have been visiting Julia's blog.  But, this week is extra special because it is the 3rd anniversary for WOYWW and there is going to be an ATC swap. So everyone has been working on their ATCs and all you have to do is leave an asterick *** after your name  and the person that you send one yours to is the next person on the list with an asterick*. The person right before you will send you one. And if you have made some special friends you can swap with others. So don't forget to contact that person that comes after you and get their mail address and drop one of your ATCs in the mail to them. So much fun making mine and I can't wait to see what I get in return. Now on to my desk for the week.

This week there is lots going on. I have started picking my papers for my travel journal scrapbook for that trip that my daughter and I are hoping to take to Italy in the near future. I don't want to jinx it. But that is one of my dream trips and we are working on it. So I thought it would be fun to do a different type of scrapbook. I have lots of cards to get done. you can see the one I have started to color under the journal papers and if you look there right above the purple card and paper you can get a glimpse of my ATC. I haven't made a lot of ATCs in the past, but I have done a couple of series. I hope that whoever gets mine likes it.

Just a  closer look at my papers and the ATC. So go on by and pay Julia a visit and join in the fun.
