ATC Swap

These are the two ATCs I made for a Pennywise Arts swap. This first one was for the theme "Winter Wonderland." I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the paper with the snowflake and then swipped two different shades of blue across the embossing. I then covered the ATC with double-sided sticky tape and covered the ATC in diamond glitter. Then I stamped the snowman on a separate piece of paper; painted the nose & scarf; covered it with double-sided sticky tape and transparent glass micro beads. I then adhered the snowman to the snowflake card.




This next one was my interpretation of "Wise Men Still Seek Him." It's a trifold ATC. I used Glimmer Mist to create the blue backing. The wise men and mother & child are clip art. The mother & child are popped up from the card. The star has gold micro beads on it.

I was lucky enough to win the Hostess Choice Award for this card. I received a purple ribbon for it and the card below.

The back of the card reads, "Congratulations! You have received the Hostess Choice Award! For: Wise Men Still Seek Him. This award is given to ONE ATC swap participant for what I call 'EYE CANDY.' This could be based upon several things: composition, color, originality of design, etc., whatever happens to catch my eye and knock my socks off!" PWA ATC Swap Hostess

Evening Sunset

As we were walking out of work this evening, the sky was so beautiful. I wanted to share this with you.


And then there was this photo I took of Qwest Field (go Seahawks).

The fur kids

These are the two fur kids in the house - Sammy and Cindy. We got them from the shelter last March. Sammy (orange tabby) is 7 and was relinquished by folks whose daughter had gone off to college. Cindy is 1 1/2 and was a stray. As you can see, they get along just fine.

Creation of my blog

Thank you, ladies for leaving the comments. The reason I created this blog was because my very favorite monthly scrap club, ScrapGoods, and its owners are taking a break and we don't know the future of the club. I have made so many friends through the MB, I feel we are truly sisters. I am so sad about this.

But, on the bright side, we have each other's emails, we have blogs, we have folks who are looking into creating a MB just for us to post our lovely scrappy layouts and other arty things we do. And, ScrapGoods "may" come back. We are all praying so!!

So, happy Friday everyone....let's have fun this weekend!!

First Post

Well, here I am with my little voices to share my art and thoughts with you. A blog - never thought I'd have one.

I now have to learn how to set this up and get started. Hopefully, some photos and thoughts will appear soon.
