Welcome to my blog-I hope you enjoy!
Here is the top of Danise's chunky atc. I love angels and I think Danise must too.

THE SUM OF ALL MY ATCs-chunky ATC's swap

This was a fun swap. We used a 2 by 4 cut to atc size. Then we designed the five sides. This is the one Claudine Criner created for me. So pretty. I think Claudine must be a romantic at heart.
I love the art she made.
The top view. Just as pretty as the sides.
Here is the back and the other side view. Claudine made this so romantic and beautiful.

THE SUM OF ALL YOUR ATCs swap

Denise Barger created this lovely tin. And take a look at the inside-it is so wonderful. Denise has a fantastic talent.

Love what Denise did-the goddess doll pin is beautiful hand beading. Love it.

SPOONS

These are some spoons I made into ornaments. I cut part of the handle off (I will use the top part of the handle for another project.) and bend back the remaining part of the handle to form a circle so I could hang them. Added an image and covered with diamond glaze. I also added a little glitter around the edge to add some sparkle. Added some velvet ribbon and a hook for hanging.

ARTCHIX STUDIO-HOLIDAY GIFT SWAP


I made these glass pendants for the swap. I had these glass pendants with a flat back. I picked a background and added lovely vintage ladies from Artchix Studio collage papers. Then added a bail. I hope my swap partners like them.

ROUND ROBIN-SALLIE RODMAN IS OUR HOST

The first book I receive is Lisa Robinson . Lisa's theme is "Celebrate". Lisa had a list of holidays she wanted used in her book. My choice was Birthdays. This is the first set of pages I did.

I made a pocket and filled it with some goodies.

Second set of pages for the round robin.

THE SUM OF ALL MY ATCs-chunky ATC's swap

Summer
I choose the seasons for my theme. We used a 2" by 4" cut to fit the size of an ATC. And we were to decorate the top and the four sides.

Spring
Winter
Fall

Altered Bottle For Artchix-Sister Site Swap

My swap partner is Lisa Robinson-One of her favorite colors is green so I used alcohol ink to tint the inside of the bottle green. Also she likes vintage buttons so I put a fairy in the bottle with some vintage buttons. I also used vintage buttons to make the flowers on top. I sure hope she like it.

Old Oak Tree

I love this old oak tree. Love how the branch twisted back and form a heart shape. I see this tree every day we walk the Ravine Gardens Park.

Paper Whimsy-Swap

The theme is "Day & Night" Gothis Arches. Using ""Begin the Day & When Night Comes". I choose to use the same image. I colored her dress with markers. I think I really like these young ladies.

Another Artchix Sister Site Lottery

This theme is "Spooklicious". Great theme and fun to do.

"COLORS OF FALL"

Artchix sister site lottery-"Colors of Fall" is the theme. I think I used some very bright fall colors. What do you think?

ALTOID TIN SWAP With "THE SUM OF ALL MY ATCs

This swap was with "The Sum of all My ATCs" and Claudine Crimer is the host. We were to alter a tin and add a gift inside to our partner. It was a lot of fun and I choose the sea as my theme. I used bottle caps to make into magnets as the gift. I sure who ever my partner is they like them. I can't wait to see what I get.

Gothic Arches For Artchix Sister-Site Swap

The arches are always fun to create. My favorite new trick is to use wax paper on part of the collage. I learned this new trick from the "Romantic Gothic Ghost" work shop, I just took. You crinkle the wax paper up-add some ink to age it. Use a glue stick to attach to your collage and use a credit card or bone folder to smooth out. I just love the look of it.

AND THE WINNER IS MARY WILKINS!!!

Congratulation, Mary I will mail your package tomorrow.

Thanks, to all who left a comment, I love reading them.
