I hope my nice partner Jeanie like the matchbox I made for her and all the ATC's and the rest of the fun stuff I added to the treasure chest. This was a very fun swap hosted by VINTAGE DRAGONFLY...I think matchbox altering might become a bit addictive...
This beautiful ATC came to me from my partner TERRI in our January swap...it is stunning to say the least!!!
I love the delicate textures and shades of white mixed with frosty blue!
This is mine that I sent to her...a snow covered blossom...
Oh Anna Bella…how wonderful to come home from an ocean holiday and find your stunning ATC confection in my box! I must say I am quite overwhelmed by how perfectly you have captured my love of the old world in your beautiful angel design. The old font German book page made me cry…because you see…I am German. The card holder is so pretty and I have turned it into a magnet and placed it on the ice box. The tag has such a pretty vintage feel to it. Your gift has enriched my holiday and will be a part of each Christmas from now on. I decorate with my treasured paper art for each season, so I thank you for this magical addition.
The little clear angel ATC ornament is the one I sent to you Anna in this swap…
Wishing you the most blessed of season and best in 2011…until we are partners once again…inky hugs from the cozy cottage stamper Karla
My assigned day was seven....so I designed this swan out of a white flocked rose leaf. The wire was used to string the beads to be the head. I love how this turned out and the fact that it came from my own foggy brain...
Wendy made this wonderful paper box in these incredible vintage colors to hold the little folder tied with a red silk ribbon and beaded bell tag. I love the red glittery snowflake. This is the icing on the Christmas cake for me!!! thank you dear Wendy...
Here are all 12 days...I leaned so much like they are not really 'calling birds' but Colly or collie birds as they were known in merry ol England.
Merry CHRISTMAS everyone!!
Here is another autumn creation in a more Oriental mood...
The two sweetie pies came from Anja in Germany...love the muted soft dusty pastels! Vielen Dank Liebe Anja!
I made this ATC for my Twisted Sister ATC Club with the theme of Perfect Partners....of course it is the 'Birds and Bees and the Flowers and the Trees"
This ATC collection came from MWS and is part of the Alphabet Technique ATC Swap.
It has been such a long time since I last posted beautiful art so here is another set of lovely ATC's that my dear friend Anja made for me with my mother's pictures...vintage is wonderful and I love the colors! Vielen Dank Meine Liebe Anja...
This beautiful harbinger of the season came in return from my partner...
Here is my favorite Halloween Costume ATC from a MWS swap...can you guess why? That is my then 10 year old son dressed as Dracula...he is 37 years old now.
Here is the whole collection...
Another leaf in the seasons of time....from MWS
This cat fur ghost was donated by my cat Hunny Bunny over the year. The two purrrrfect holes in the wad are from her teeth as she pulled out the loose tuft! Are ya scared yet?
OHHHHHHHHHHH BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
This is my ATC with a vintage image that I just adored....a little sewing witch getting ready for the ghoul ball maybe?
These beautiful ATC's arrived from Birgit for me. The theme was to make an ATC with spplied vintage photos of our mothers and their wedding days. This was taken in 1959. Here are her wonderful creations. My mothers favorite color was red and I remember well her red lipstick and those incredible high heels she wore when they went out to dance! Thank you Birgit for such a a sweet remembrance of meine Liebe MUTTER. Her name was Kitty and I miss her terribly.
My newest passion is creating digital art on PLOYVORE. Their link is at the top os my sidebar. While I enjoy playing with ink and paper more than anything else, it is fun to sit and relax creating art without having to gather up supplies or put anything away. Here are some of my autumn musings…
