An ATC Sunday!!!! Share your ATC Art too!

Here is an ATC card I made a few weeks back for a lady in Norway I traded as a partner on Swap-Bot 

I used a bunch of different collage pieces, some rhinestones from Prima, of course some buttons, and some Copic pens.

 

This ATC card is one using the Pan Pastels and Crafter's Worskshop Stencils. Which I buy mostly at Scrapbook.com and Donna Downey which BTW has a new book out!!  Signature Series By Donna Downey!!! WTG Donna!!! That's awesome and YES I have ordered my signed copy. This also was a trade on Swap-Bot.

 Yes you guessed it! All about cupcakes ATC, here this one went to Sweden. It was also a trade on Swap-Bot. I have had a great time on Swap-Bot trading. This swap you had to make a cupcake with a butterfly for the theme. I used Copic pens, Prima pearls, Melissa Francess pearls. I love how it turned out. On the vintage papers for a background. The square 1x1 pieces are inchies that I added.

 This ATC I actually already put up on the blog, but wanted to reshare in this weeks ATC Sunday. I made this one for my first ATC in a really really long time...like over two years or more since I made any ATC. I used a mixed media background on Strathmore papers, used the ATC cut-out punch from Sizzix. A few stencils, stamps, rub-ons, etc. Hand sewed the pearls on and beads. Used Copics too.

This ATC card is a STEAMPUNK themed. This one also was a Swap-Bot trade. I used the Graphic 45 papers of the Steampunk Debutante Collection I cut the octopus out of the Silhouette Cameo. Also the seaweed I cut from Silhouette Cameo. I named it Jules Debutante. The gears I bought from 

Michael's in the jewelry section.



Now it's your turn you will have a until next Saturday morning my time to add any of your ATC art to share. All you have to do is link it up. Share your post of the ATC card you would like to share, it can be older as long as it is an ATC. Thanks.

Another Quick Post........ Hello Cupcake ATC Card that was just SEW Fun!

ATC "Hello Cupcake" I joined this group or site....called swap-bot.com well I haven't done many swaps in quite awhile but was swap crazy from 2004-2006 and then I did a few on scrapbook.com here and there. I have also done many swaps with charms at art events, and even journal pages, and atc's. I love doing it...its always so scary for me to sign up for stuff.....because of my crazy life!!!! Nine kids, and husband, a garden, Instagram (lol), cooking, cleaning, appts. I always worry...will I get it done??? I always do but who knows what can happen. Anyways I did it again!!! I had a blast doing the cupcake#2 atc swap at swap-bot. It was just sew much fun!!! I threw in a little mixed media background, then some wool felt I hand cut for the design. A few seed beads, and pearl beads. A red button and some copic fun!!! HELLO CUPCAKE!!! Love it!! I mailed it to my recipient on time too!! BONUS!!! LOL!

We spent a few days removing the tree we lost in the storms that have been hitting lately.....like outta no where!!! Crazy! Everyone helped in 100 degree weather! Thanks goodness its all back to normal but we lost the only shade we had to mention.....We were blessed it did not hit the house but did some damage to the pergola outback. That too has been fixed. :o)

   Hello,                                                                                                                                                                                 Everything went well today I am improving everyday with my sciatic nerve.  The boys are still sick with this yucky cough, and Cooper keeps letting me know "I too sick" (to do anything). I decided last night I was going to drag out the encaustics stuff and get to work, I have only dabbled in it a few times in the past...mostly because of Suze Weinberg we also worked on it at Inspired this past year.  Well I had been just about begging hubby to go to Art of the Carolinas well that was out of the question. Beverly called me on Sunday of last week and we were talking back and forth about it and I said yeah I wanna go BAD!!! She said lets...well I got off the phone and asked hubby and he said YES!!! So I bought my class right away and all week me and Bevy were just EXCITED!!!
             Friday came and I was excited but felt like I was on a bad roller coaster ride...so much to do to leave my crew even if only for a few hours.....imagine what I went thru to go to Utah last fall.???. LOL!! Me and Bevy were loaded up and on our way to Raleigh NC. I took Bevy country roads until Hwy 64..... it is shorter!!! LOL! Bevy didn't think so! We just had a blast California Kitchen (love that place) Bevy's treat!! Thanks Beverly I could never Thank You enough. NEVER!!!  Archivers, Ornamentea, Barnes and Nobles, and Jo-Ann's Crafts. We were just having a ball finally we got to the Art of the Carolinas and oh my it was Art Utopia....and my class was starting oh no not enough time to shop. Encautic Collage he we are with our wonderful fun teacher Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch she has a book out which btw she signed my copy. Happy Waxing!! Love it!! We made three little collages see above compliments of R&F. They provided the awesome boards and paints for the class. I could have just painted all day. Well eager to make something at home...I dug out what little bit of encaustics that I do have. I set out to waxing......as always I work with what is out and about in close reach (when I haven't cleaned up) so i made the board above with Imaginisce and Dusty. The ATC (compliments of Bevy) thanks dear!!! :o) felt, German glass glitter, 7 Gypsies pp. Fun fun!!! Now that I have made this post I am gonna make another something now...well finish up another project hope to post tomorrow...can't wait to show ya!!! EXCITING!
