TMTA ~ Cloth & Paper

Here is my take on this weeks Think Monday, Think ATC's challenge...where we were asked to use Cloth & Paper! I have tongue in cheeked titled this ATC "Fangs for the post"

TMTA Challenge

Here are a pair of ATCs that I have created this afternoon for the
'Think Monday Think ATC'
this week we were asked to produce something on the theme of Purple.

I have chosen to call them

'Purple Chic'

Just a couple of ATCs

Love this doodled ATC, I had a fun time sat quietly in my armchair creating this one, that I have chosen to name "Tangled Spooks" It's actually one of two {both the same} but only one of them is available to trade! This ATC I created for Junes Monthly ATC challenge, which for October was the theme of 'BOOKS'
The book I chose is
The Earthsea Quartet: "A Wizard Of Earthsea"; "The Tombs of Atuan"; "The Farthest Shore"; "Tehanu" by Ursula K. Le Guin
This ATC already has a home, so not available to trade.sorry about the scan on this one, it doesn't look that tatty around the nameplate in real life, it must be the angle of the photo!

Think Monday Think ATC ~ Ophelia

I am running a week behind with this one, simply because I was stumped for idea's. Anyway better late than never, so here is my take on the theme of

'Ophelia'

which was last weeks challenge over on TMTAI best get my thinking cap on now for this weeks challenge!
This ATC will now be posted off as my entry in the

ART RAFFLE

TMTA

Here is my ATC for last Monday's TMTA challenge with the theme of COFFEE!

Paint dry brushed on to Textured Cardstock, droplets of Glossy Accents, Rangers metalic pearl Dabber paint smoothed under the mug, and stippled for the froth, then dabbed lightly with a brown ink pad for chocolate dust!

Another Homophone ATC

I am loving the consept of Homophones

{words that sound the same, but have different meanings}
I have used Rain, Rein Reign for this ATC

CB & Arty Girlz Challenge #53

The Arty Girlz Challenge this week we were asked to make something in the theme of 'Autumn'My project is an ATC

I have used a mixture of paper leaves, skeleton leaves and fabric leaves, various inks, woollen fibres and accent beads!

I've also used this ATC as my entry for the Numbers challenge over on the

Crafts Beautiful forum

TMTA Challenge

Here is my ATC for this weeks challenge over on TMTA

Where we were asked to create Homophones!!!

Nope, I initially didn't know what it was either?

But, it's when you use a words that sound the same, but have different spellings/ meanings.

Mine combines Sea & See

Basic Grey Challenge #2 and Pieces of Eight

I made this set of ATCs, I have chosen to call the series "Pieces of Eight" as you can see they are on a treasure map theme and each ATC has the edition of an altered piece of jigsaw puzzle. Each puzzle piece is covered with Basic Grey's Blitzen & Vagabond Collection, then stamped with an oyster shell and cabouchon added. I really do need these Basic Grey challenges to actually get me using my BG paper stash LOL

I am also using these for my entry on TGIF

These are available for swapping and can be found over on my

ATC Swap Lounge

Think Monday - Think ATC Challenge

Dance to my tune!

I sat and had peaceful afternoon croping images out of magazines today, great fun it was too. Why? because it's a fantastic way to get great pictures for collage work and ATCs. I personally don't buy them, but a neighbour across the way saves hers for me, so I guess you could call it recycling LOL

I created the above ATC for the challenge over on TMTAC where this week the keyword is

DANCE

Arty Girlz Challenge #48 ~ Shapes

Here is my entry to this weeks Arty Girlz challenge, where we are asked to add shapes to our project. I have created an ATC and have tried something that is quite different for me, but I really enjoyed doing it. What I didn't realise was that the scan would pick up the different layers of colour, including the squiggle! In real life you don't see that ochre squiggle coming through, but I am quite happy that it's there, it looks quite arty I think LOL I have used glossy accents on it too for the windows and the moon, so is quite textural in real life.I will go and add this to my ATC swap lounge now!

All ATC kits used now!!

Here the rest of the ATCs made from the kits from Jeans swap, and great fun it was too! If you see one that you would like to own, check out my trading blog

ATC Kit Swap

I made the following ATCs using kits that I received from UKS members who took part in Jeans kit swap. This is the 2nd time that I have taken part in this swap and love it. Each kit must contain enough items to make at least one ATC, to include: an ATC blank, paper or card and some embellishments. I love making ATCs from kits like this as I never know what is in the little bag until I open it and the inspiration just just flows and they get made up in no time, also the kits contain items that I might not normally use to do my ATCs, so this again gives great variety to my crafting !

I still have 5 kits to make up and loads of bits left over from the kits I have already used, I will upload the other ATCs in a few days.

Thanks to everyone that took part!

If anyone would like any of these ATCs, they are available over on my Swap Lounge HERE

Sunflowers ATC for the TTA challenge!

Here is my entry to TT&A challenge #5 which requests trees/flowers or plants. I am still using up left over Bo-Bunny Tuscany Journee papers. They have almost gone now though :)

ATCs

I got up this morning feeling a little tattered around the edges, with a definate cloud of 'Fibro Fog' hanging over me & a bad case of me dropping everything I touch it seemed, including the dog food! Poor Ozzie had to eat his breakfast off the floor, when the canister holding his dog food slipped out of my hand {{good thing my dogs have dried food}}

So, I sat quietly & set about making a set of ATC's with some left over Bo-Bunny paper that I have had hanging around for a while, from the Tuscan Journey range.

I have called my ATC collection 'Tuscan Overture' & some of them are available for trading!

Do you ever have one of those day??

When you seem to have been busy doing lots but, have nothing to show for it at the end of the day! Well I have had that all weekend, it seems. I have been helping Alex take & edit photos of different things for his Uni assesment, different everyday gadgets that aide the blind in their homes to make life easier for them. Crumbs, a real eye opener {no pun intended} for me, & very interesting at all the help out there. There seems to be a gadget for almost everything, anyway between doing that and battling a losing battle & wasting shrink plastic {something I haven't used before} I have been finishing off a few crafty jobs that have been hanging around for a few days, ready to post tomorrow. I did in fact manage to successfully use the shrink plastic, but it prefered the oven to my heat tool.

So all I have to show today is a few ATCs & one of those was a RAK :)

The lighthouse is the shrink plastic ATC for a swap

The Hedgehog & the Tilda are both for a swap

The black & white ATC was a lovely RAK from Caroline & it was here very 1st attempt at ATCs , so I feel very honoured. Thanks Caroline, it's lovely & it really made my day opening the envelope after the one containing my phone bill :)

Hopefully tomorrow will prove to be more productive!!!

Distressed Angles
