IOS challenge

The challenge on IOS this week is your first ATC that you made...................ok should be easy enough not having to do any work........... infact ...but not that easy for me. !!!

I first go involved making ATCs in 2004 and most of the ATCs I made I never scanned as I didn't have a scanner and just got swapped out.



So here is one that I made maybe early 2006 that I think is adapt for the month of DECEMBER.


The background is faux wood, a vintage image, a stickon flower and a beaded Tiara made by me.

DREAM ATC IOS

ATC for IOS ( Italy on sunday). Thought I may as well participate for once, I take part in all the other online challenges with lots of participants, here there are way less so I thought it's only fair!!! This is an old ATC I made for an Australian friend last year but I liked the theme SOGNI / DREAMS for IOS and the art that was made by the designer of the week

Rubber stamps used by cherrypie stamps and firecracker design, watercolours, vintage wallpaper and paperscrapbooking flowers...which I don't really like so why I used them here I'll never know!!!!

Sorry gals that it's not a freshly arted one but I'm too tied up in the world of mixed media swaps and courses across the seas

TMTA challenge

This week's Think Monday Think ATC challenge is STONE, here's my contribution.

The background I've done like a faux leather and the image is from artichix which I gessoed over.

Had to work very quick on this as it's so hot here all my materials were drying up on me, especially the glue....you can see that the words I stuck on and they dried so quick I couldn't put them striaght.......aarrgh.

ATCs in Italia

Qui in Italia ATCs sta diventando consociuti ...........YAY. Sono piu di contenta perche adesso ho piu persone per fare SWAPS...scambi.

Ho nominato molti di questi ATCs come STCs = scrappers trading cards ..perche dal mio punto da vista, molte persone, chi stanno facendo qui in italia, sono dal mondo di scrap cosi usano il loro tecniche che loro sono abituati usando per lo scrap, anche il materiale.

Guarda questa ATC, ho usato la carta di K&C molto stilo dello scrap.

Sono qui per fare gli scambi con voi, scrive me un e-mail, grazie
