A wonderful exchange of Valentines was hosted by Paper Whimsy.  Each participant made one Valentine, copied it, and then embellished the copies to mail out to each person.  Since 10 people signed up I made 10 Valentines.  Then I received  fabulous, beautifully embellished Valentines from each person in the group. They looked wonderful and were so much fun to display. This is my Valentine in a 4 x 6 size.  I look forward to displaying  all of them next Valentines Day.


 

Another  ATC swap with Creative Souls with a theme of Winter! She is a Paper Whimsy image  made with sparkly snowflakes and mica snow.

We had a stash swap at Paper Whimsy. Each of us filled a mailing envelope with goodies from our stash-nothing was to be purchased- and mailed to our assigned partner.  After receiving our goodies we were to create a Thank You ATC from the items given to us.  I received a ton of cool things with a circus theme and so I created this as my Thank You Atc!

This is an ATC that I made for a Creative Souls swap. It is a variation of the images from other art I have done. This is my favorite background and girl and I love this particular combination.  Images from Paper Whimsy.

This is a Halloween ATC that I created for a swap with Creative Souls-a lovely witch to celebrate All Hallows Eve!

Where have I been?

Nowhere actually! Just swept up in summer activities, yard work, and doing Art-of course! I will try to list everything I have completed and they won't be in any particular order cuz I can't remember anymore.  Enjoy!

This is a swap from Paper Whimsy which called for 3 Bookmarks.  Each one was laminated.  Of course I received 3 in return that I just love.  These were easy to make and I had fun doing these. Images by Paper Whimsy -of course!

This is a little ATC sized birthday card I make for my son's fiance Suzie. The images show the front, the inside, and the back of the card.   This was so much fun to design and put together.  The images are by Cemerony. I think Suzie liked it!

Here is an ATC I created for a swap at Creative Souls. The theme was Jane Austen. I was a bit perplexed as to what kind of picture I wanted to create for this and then I stumbled on this lovely image on a collage sheet in Etsy.  Using a background from Cemerony the picture came together.  I imagined Elizabeth after she was married to Mr. Darcy and so I showed her living the life of luxury as Mrs. Darcy in her fabulous estate.

Another ATC swap at Paper Whimsy.  The theme was night creatures (I think).  So I included all creatures of the night that I had a picture for and voila! And I think that brings me up to date for now.  I will try to be more timely going forward!
