MERRY CHRISTMAS MEANS LOVE...

This classic ATC came in today's mail from Lorian Baker of MWS. It took my breath away with its perfect message and true meaning of Christmas. The vintage rose colored glittered LOVE, the soft golden glow of the candles on the fir tree, they all bring back treasured Christmas memories of my childhood in Germany...

HARVEST THEME ATC's from BIRGIT & STEFANIE IN FROM GERMANY...

Birgit sent me this little album which I quickly Altered with the fun leaves and buttons that were sent along. A sketchbook is born! Stefanie made this ATC special for me. Her grandfather was a Forest Meister, a forest ranger. His domain was the woods...a place dear to me when I was a little girl because I used to go mushroom hunting there with my grandfather. We loved our Opa's and have nice memories of childhood in Germany. Mushroom soup anyone?
A clever sewn Harvest ATC from Stefanie with a shrinky pumpkin from a stamp I sent her. Pumpkins, rose hips, oak leaves and gourds, very pretty and colorful!

Winter birds flew over the ocean from Birgit. I like the wonderful autumn and winter suns she makes behind the birds. This trademark technique of hers intrigues me. Inkadinadoo stamps are whimsical!

I made this Thanksgiving ATC with paper and leaves they sent me. The ATC's I sent them in Germany are below.
Glorious Autumn...I love you!
