CHRISTMAS WISHBOOK - ATCs

I actually cut into my 1943/44 Eaton's Catalogue!  See my next posts for your own image.  The background on these is from the toy (games) section - just a few pages compared to what you find today.  I inked the edges with Stazon Saddle Brown and then a light coat of Rock Candy Distress Paint.  The tags are DaisyDs rubons which I mounted on cardstock and popped up.  The edges have all been trimmed with Platinum Stickles.  The rickrack are new bits, the cotton vintage.  Easy with a practicality to suit the war-time era.

FALL FANTASY ATC SWAP AT PAGES IN TIME

Between my notebook crashing and going back to work, I haven't been able to post much over the last month.   These are the tags I received November 3rd in a "Fall Fantasy Swap" hosted by Helene Huber at Pages In time.

The Artists are: Carla Oliveira, Lisa, Carrie Taylor, Helene Huber, Lacee Broyles, Marilyn McIldoon, Lisa Duke,  and Maggie White.   These are just great.  The process was also great fun as we shared what we were doing as we went along which just kept us all inspired to produce like fiends!  In this swap we didn`t know who would receive what  - so there was still an element of surprise - and that delightful day when they arrived in the mail.  Mine came in an orange and yellow bubble mailer stamped with Halloween Greetings and several witches courtesy of Helene!  I also love the trim you enclosed as a treat...:)

THE T-SHIRT SAYS IT ALL - A SCRAPBOOKING LAYOUT

My entry for the "B for Birds" challenge at The Alphabet Challenge (click on the title of this post to go directly there.)  The "birds" are stacked up on the right hand side.

Te green background paper is from DreamStreet, the borders and yellow background are both sides of a paper from American Craft and the white flower die cut sheet is from Creative Imaginations.  I adhered part of the die cut sheet to the yellow and cut around it, then chalked and faux stitched  some of the flowers and leaves.  The blue fibers I wound around a pin stuck through a dimensional glue dot - neat trick I learned recently.  Not sure that I didn't overwork the die cut sheet this time but I will try this one again.

I white inked the shadowy flower heads on the background.  I used Rock Candy Stickles and Warm Highlights glitter  to "pop" the butterfly trails.  A couple of silvery butterflys, an over-sized photo corner, a bit of velvet ribbon and a simple journal spot finish this up.

After posting I realized the ribbon had slipped down - not going to fix the picture!
