Mosaic ATC

Mosaic ATC

Here is an ATC that I created for the Mosaic ATC - USA Only swap on Swap-Bot. This was harder than I thought it would be. I created 4 others, but they did not turn out right. This is the best one yet. What was pictured in my mind, did not come out well on paper. The first 2 was supposed to be a clothes line and the third one was flowers with a bunch of ladybugs.

Supplies used: Scrapbooking Paper, Flower Stamp, Silver Ink, Colored Pencils, Black Sharpie Pen, Red Marker, Tacky Glue, and Medium Gloss.

JJ created an ATC for a swap that we signed up for... Children's ATC Swap. He did a very good job drawing his. This one is the second ATC he's ever created.

Giraffe Drawings

The other day I decided to draw some giraffes from photos on the internet. I was so surprised how well they turned out. This made me so happy. Tendonitis and all, I was able to draw like I used to when I was younger. One day, I'll be able to sit down and draw some of my characters again and start writing my children book series. I want to do that so badly.

Here are the links to the giraffes I drew from:

hand drawn BUTTERFLY atc

Here is a lovely ATC I created for my Swap-Bot partner in Michigan.... "hand drawn BUTTERFLY atc". Took me many attempts drawing this butterfly, for I have not drawn butterflies in years. Ain't she just ADORABLE!
Have a lovely day...

Autumn...

Autumn is my favorite season of the year. The beautiful colors of the leaves as they change... The sweet smells... The season I was born in....etc. Because of our wacky weather here this year, I saw some of the leaves changing colors last month. Can you believe it?!! Wow... Talk about being confused.

Well... To get an early start on this season, I joined the Autumn ATC Swap! at Swap-Bot.com. I had a blast creating these cards. I drew the leaves and little girl, cut them out, and glued them to the cards. The word Autumn on both cards are scrapbooking stickers. And the background is scrapbooking paper. The first one was sent to my swap partner in New Hampshire and the second one to Oregon. I can't wait to read their comments after recieving them.... and your comments after reading this post. :)

Have a wonderful day my blog readers....
