4 More

Following the ATC in my previous post, I have made 4 more, the response to the original was fab and she is off to her new home as I type. So I made 4 more last night and one is promised already! I have really enjoyed this challenge of making some thing that is definitely out of my comfort zone! How long this little burst of creativity will last I dont know but I am going to make the most of it!

Again all the images I have used are from the wonderful blog Art Freebies if you have time you must pop by and have a gander at all the lovely images that are there! They also have a weekly challenge which is well worth taking part in!

Off to have another little crafting session, if you havent already popped over to Lisa's Atc blog its a must see! She has been so very helpful and kind to me over these past weeks all her blogs are worth a visit so here are the links you need! Allissa Designs Cabin & Allissa's Paper Town (a place to buy fab didgi downloads) & also My Arty Expressions ATC Style CHECK THEM OUT!!!

Byyeee for now

Atc - Some thing different and news

After Lisa over at Allissa Desgin Blog Spot started her fab new blog showing us all her wonderful ATC's see here; My Arty Expressions Atc Style, I decided I wanted to have a go at some thing different than the usual atc's I have been doing. The above ATC is very different for me and I really enjoyed doing it.

From my stash I used some thread, black card, I used a corner cutter. All the papers and images are from a fab blog I have recently discovered whilst blog hopping called Art Freebies its fantastic! Lastly I used a gold ink pad on the edges and a flower from my stash.

Whilst I am here I am a tad excited as I have just bought a lovely stamp created by Leanne Ellis, its called 'poise' you can see it here at funky kits.
I am so chuffed with it I havent actually used it yet just looked at it lol Hopefully I will have some creations up with it soon. I am on the hunt for a momento ink pad in tuxedo black just a small one (dewdrop I think) as this has been recomended to me by docrafts memebers as the ink to use, but so far most places charge riduculous postage and I only want the ink pad! So I will have to keep on hunting.

Thats all for now I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Its Wednesday already!

We are in the middle of a week already, where did the time go? I have been planting some veggies and generally just enjoying the garden so haven't had a huge amount of time to make any cards. I have however managed to get my Garden/Flowers docrafts atc swap finished and made a few other atc's too.

The top pic is of my Garden/flowers swap, I used bits and bobs from my stash. I quite like the way they have turned out, especially after my 4 year old son decided he would help by pouring a whole bottle of PVA glue over my original creations. Luckily I managed to save some bits and bobs and make these.

My stamp arrived from the craftypad, I am so pleased to have won, so I had to have a quick play with it and made a couple of little fun atc's.

The flower atc's have been made with some freebie papers, from a magazine that I forget the name of lol I used some papermania brads for the middle.

Last is my froggy Atc, he is for a young lad who made me a lovely Flower atc so he will be on his way to him today.

Hope you have a lovely wednesday and enjoy the sunshine!

I Have Won a Stamp!

I am a tad excited I won a lovely stamp over at The Crafty Pad. I posted about this lovely week long give away of the crafty pad stamps and I have been picked as day 3's winner. I am really excited about getting my first stamp from them, as its a teddy it can be used for so many different things!

So if you would like to be in with the chance of winning a lovely stamp get on over to the crafty pad and join in!

Have a lovely day and happy 1st of June which is the offical first day of summer hooorrrahh!
