Mind your O's and P's

I've just realised that I haven't posted up the photos of my latest Alphabet ATCs- very remiss of me! Anyway, here they are now!

I was asked by one of my friends if I had used leatherette for the lettering. I was quite surprised as they are simply made from cardboard!! -- Handy tip, use cereal box card and paint it with watercolour!!

Inchie Overload

So my inchie swap is drawing to a close now with only a few people left to send them in- I am getting increasingly worried about having to choose the ones I want to keep as I want to keep them all (may have to get my flatmates to choose for me!!)

I have finally made my own ones as well, and got a little carried away so made lots and lots!!!

 Some of the inchies double up in the photos so I haven't quite made this many.

Anyway, they aren't as good as the ones I've been getting. Take a look at these and maybe you'll understand my dilemma!!

Annie also very kindly sent me some little fabric leftovers which were big enough to turn into ATCs (not sure if she meant them as ATCs as she didn't put a backing on them, but they look gorgeous so I have backed them and put them with all the others).

Buildings & Dragonflies

Ahh, I love post- especially when it involves ATCs. Today I was in for a real treat with both my building and dragonfly returns.

First up are the Dragonflies:

Inchies!!

A few months ago I suggested to the MixedMediaATC_UK group that we try our hand at some Inchies. I had never made any so thought it might be a nice thing to try, and several other people agreed! I offered to host and have recently seen them start to flood in!!
First to arrive was Alison's very cute little cards.

And today's arrival was from SueM who has also very kindly sent me a RAK to go with it! Great start to the day!

This of course means that I now have to make my own ones!! And I have no idea where to start!

Autumnal ATCS

I have also had my returns for the Colours of Autumn swap, which has got me very excited because they are beautiful!!! There's no two ways about it, they are gorgeous!!

M & N

I've had to wait a while for these cards because they were redirected from my house in Sussex (sounds very posh when put like that!!). Still, as always it was worth the wait!

Of course, this means that I now have to get on with the next lot!!!

Colours of Autumn & Buildings

So, on further examination of the brief for the Colours of Autumn swap, I noticed that it was a fabric swap, so have had to make them all again. This time with more fabric in them!!

 

I also finally got round to making my building ATCs- opting for a simple, almost childish layout with buildings made from Shrinkies!!!
