AMAZING ALICE ATC FROM WENDY!

 This is simply the most stunning ATC I have ever held in my hands!  Thank you so much Wendy Aspinall for being my partner in this Blissful swap!  Wendy created a beautiful magical scene as dreamy as a summer day...adorable winged Alice in the mushroom garden with the white rabbit, bee, dragonfly and butterfly all glittery in muted shades...this confection made me want to get my Alice book off the shelf for the photo shoot...I think I found the perfect page for the spotlight.

 Finally the doors open....what a wonderful wonderland will lay behind them?

SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY ATC AND TAG SWAP...




Wonderful Hostess Tee at THE ALTERED PAPER hosts the most fun swaps each month.  She is such an organized and clever artist and I so enjoy being a part of them.  For February I joined in the ATC and TAG swap...this is my art that I sent on to my partners...I hope they like them.  The cameo is cast in paper clay from a mold I made of my Oma's vintage ivory cameo...I just love playing with paper clay and love how this turned out!

ATC'S for MY MONTHLY THEMED SWAP with AMCA...

 Birds of a Feather...this is done with a napkin, decopaged and sprinkled with glitter and tiny ice flakes...the holly berries are tiny red seed beads.
 On the first day of Christmas...this theme will go on all year and in December you will have a whole set.  I have the wonderful chocolate wrappers from the House of Dorcester in England...they are so perfect for the ongoing theme!!

JANUARY WINTERY MATCHBOX...

 This is the Wintery themed matchbox I made for my partner Sherry in England...I love making these each month!

WINTER MATCHBOX AND STICKPIN SWAPS...

My partner Jean Roman sent me this VooDoo snowman and all the wintery colored stickpins in Tee's Altered Paper swap.
This wintery themed matchbox came from my partner Adrienne in our monthly matchbox swap on our Flicker group...I just love all the glitter and the snowflake!  Altering matchboxes is great fun!
