ATC FOLDER OUT OF A TOILET PAPER ROLL!

 Dig out your embossing folders and crank out some awesome ATC mailers!
I used my Kaleidacolor ink pads to sweep the color on, then added some magic with my homemade glimmer mist.  The gold powder does not flake off in any way because I use white glue in my recipe!  We all need to recycle and create useful mail art...these folders will become Sketchbooks with tags inside for my art group this summer.

Mini Moo cards are tiny little works of art...one by three inches!  Thank you Kim Smith for hosting these two fun swaps.  It is always fun to learn somethng new.  The first one's have the theme of "Vintage Children" and the second set has the Theme "Some Bunny Loves You"

WHERE IS MY CROWN? ATC SWAP

 These first three ATCs are mine that I sent in for this swap...

These three are the ones that I got from my partners...Kimberly Laws
 Becky Loyall
 and Jan Larson
I love how the rainbow played with the artists cards...not that they needed any extra beauty but who could begrudge a rainbow adding itself to the artwork?  Thank you ladies for a fun swap at Blissfull and for Kim Smith being a perfect hostess!
