Another swap I've done recently...


OK This 1 takes a little explaining LOL I signed up for a "breakfast ATC" swap. Herein we were suppose to create an ATC of any type that has to do with breakfast. Well, it just so happens that I just received a sample of this cereal in the mail and it was the perfect size for an ATC. Well, I dismantled it and put it back together again. On the back I put the side panels of the box that have the ingredients and everything on it. So, the back looks like this...


What a neat way to make an ATC huh? LOL

Some of my latest swaps...











One last look back at Christmas

OK I'm as tired of Christmas as everyone else seems to be but I wanted to share with you the homemade Christmas cards that I received this year. So, one more look and I'll end it there, promise :D




A look back to Thanksgiving...

I know it was a few months ago but I have to share this beautiful homemade card that I received and forgot about. Here's a look at both the inside and the outside of it...

The weather outside...


I snapped this picture but ran right back inside. It's below 0 here today. I hope you all stay warm.

As you can see, I've been busy lately...

I've also experimented with a new technique for one of the many swaps I've been in. Here's how it turned out:


I think it's quite simple yet nice looking. What I did was use yellow and orange to do the shaving cream method as a background. (I've listed how to do this in another post on this blog.) I then took some clear white glitter glue and smeared it in circles all over the card whenever the shaving cream dried. Once everything was dry I added the flowers with stamps then took a "scrap" piece of ribbon and wow there it is!

Cards From Recent Swaps...

Sorry some of these didn't turn out too well but I'm working on my photography and we have to play to grow.
