Swap Spoiler

To all the ladies that participated in my first ATC swap....THANK YOU so much!! It really was a positive, fun experience. It was really fun to see all of the different ATC's & we had a good mix of the two companies. ALL of your creations were FABULOUS!! I really hope you enjoy them as much as I did when they arrive. I shipped all of the packages out to everyone today. You should be receiving them soon.



If you want a little peek of what's inside your package, I have a spoiler of my ATC below. If you want it to be a surprise, no peeking. :) If you do, I hope you like it. I used Memory Box papers & a Poppy Stamps image. The patterned paper is from a retired Memory Box 6x6 pack. I still love the older Memory Box papers so much!! The buttons are from PTI & I colored my image with Copics. Thanks again ladies, I had a lot of fun with this!!

Memory Box/Poppy Stamps ATC Swap Anyone?

Hi friends! I have decided to host a Memory Box/Poppy Stamps ATC swap. It will be combined in one group & you can either use Memory Box or Poppy Stamps for your ATC, you choose which one you want to use. I have some pending spots held for some people that I think may want to sign up. If I don't hear from them, I will open those spots to whoever. I am only going to open one group since this is my first time, so if you are interested, be sure to sign up soon. Please e-mail me directly to sign up, that way I have your e-mail information to contact you. You can e-mail me through "my profile" in "About Me" (under copyright) listed on the right in my sidebar. I have listed the swap details below the sign up list. I will e-mail you with my mailing info once group has filled. Please wait to start your swaps until you hear from me. If the group does not fill, unfortunately, I may have to cancel the swap. I will keep the sign up open through Friday August 21st. I hope you will consider joining!!

ATC Peek #2

Happy Friday to you! Are you doing anything fun this weekend? The weather is a little gloomy around here, so I'm not sure what we will be doing. I thought I would share my ATC for the Memory Box group for Kristina's swaps. I kept it really simple. I colored the image with my Twinkling H2O's. The striped dp is by Memory Box. I added a little twinkle to the top of the cupcake with my Stickles, but it is hard to see in the photo. I hope everyone has a safe, fun, & relaxing weekend!!

ATC info: Image, sentiment & DP by Memory Box; Ink by Pallette in Noir; Twinkling H2O's; Stickles; Card Stock by GP & Misc.

ATC Peek

I hope you are having a nice weekend so far. The weather is HOT, HOT, HOT here. A little too hot for my taste. It was over 100 degrees yesterday. It is supposed to be slightly cooler today, but still very HOT! I thought I would share a peek of my ATC's for Kristina's ATC swaps. Tracy (HEY GIRL!) shared a SUPER cute peek on her blog yesterday, so I figured I might share a peek too! So if you want to be surprised, do not scroll down. :) This is for the A Muse group. Kristina let us choose between an A Muse, Elzybells, or Missy Ballance image & I went with this cute little shopper Elzybells image. The sentiment is by Stamping Bella. Enjoy your weekend!!

ETA: I had a question in the comments section if Copics were used & if so what colors. Yes, Copics were used. Here is a list of colors: I used E21 Baby Skin Pink(skin tone); Y38 Honey(shopping bag), YG95 Pale Olive(shopping bag); B95 Light Grayish Colbalt(dress); E27 Africano(purse, belt & shoes); E37 Sepia & YR24 Pale Sepia(hair). HTH :)
