ARTCHIX SISTER SITE SWAP-"Fat Books"

The colors this month are "red and sepia". The are 4" by 4". When we finish we will all have a very colorful book.

"ONCE UPON A SPRINGTIME"

Here are my entries for "Once Upon A Springtime"-Maggie Lind is out host. The swap is with "The Sum Of All My ATCs. I used some images that Valeria Brincheck had giving us on her blog. She is so wonderful to us and always gives us wonderful images. Thanks Valeria.

LOVE-LY NIGHT

Artchix Sister Site Lottery-theme "Butterflies"-host Cindy McMath. This is my entry. I love this image of the little girl-she is just so sweet!

ANGELS

I made these angels out of wood. I used vintage lace and copied vintage music sheets to make their dresses. I outlined them in black and smudged the edges with a brown ink pad. I attached the dress to the body of the angel with mod podge. I painted the shoes on and the faces. I added wool for their hair. I used vintage linens for their aprons, added vintage buttons and and old key to their hands. And I used some wooden decorations for their wings that I painted. Last I added halos and a ribbon to hang them. I sealed with a sealer. Now these little angels need to find a good home.

Easter Swap

Easter Swap with Artchix Sister Site. The theme of course is Easter and Lisa Robinson is our host. I enjoyed doing these went right along with our wonderful spring weather.

ALLIGATOR

Our first little alligator of the year at the Ravine Gardens Park. He or she is about 2 feet in length.
You have to look really hard for one because they blend in so well. They always look like a log floating in the pond until you see their eyes.

"RENAISSANCE FAIR"

Swap with "The Sum Of All My ATCS". Maggie Lind is the host and the theme is "Renaissance Fair". I love the images from "Paper Whimsy" and used them here. I out lined them in black marker and then added same red paper to out line more. Love these ladies.

"LIFE IS A CIRCUS"

Artchix Sister Site Lottery-Sallie Rodman is the host and the theme is the "CIRCUS". I made a paper doll and draw a black line for the tight rope. This is a great theme with so many different choices to choose from. It was hard to pick one.

ROUND ROBIN

The theme was "Labels". Here are the first two pages I did. I used Tim Holts pages for the back ground and made the ladies were the labels. I out lined them in back with a blue page the accent them.
These pages I made a pocket using a page from Tim's book. I made some labels into tages and placed in the pockets. The next page is a collage made with labels.
So much fun to play.

Found Treasures

Found these lovely ladies-they are great a little dirty but just right for what I want to do with them.

"BY THE SEA"

Just finished my "By The Sea" lottery entry. I love the ocean and these were fun to do. I took about 5 colors of paint (all water colors). I put the paint on heavy-and on different places and then put the other ATC on top of the first one. Push them together and then pulled them a part and let dry. I think is looks like the sea.
