I have done 5 again this month. I think that 'Letters' and 'Colours' are amongst the most popular themes as the field is really wide open.
My good friends Debs and Mandi stayed with me last week for a couple of nights. It was so good to catch up with news and gossip after a longish time between seeing each other and I did persuade Debs to get back into some crafting - and hopefully some ATCs is where she is going to start. Debs had a terrible time last year with many heart attacks and a triple bypass and we are all so glad that she is still with us.
Debs has told our organiser Sue that she is going to enter some this month so I am mentioning it here just to make sure she does. It was Debs who first got me into doing ATCs. It was at a craft session at my house - many years ago - and my fellow CD Sunday teamie Pamela was with us as well. I can't remember if it was Pamela's first go with ATCs then or not. I remember I had a housefull and I believe Pamela got the short straw and was sleeping on a lilo. It was a fun time though.
Anyway - here are the 'G' is for ........ ATCs that I sent off
I enjoyed making them. My favourite is the second one. I found the image on the internet and I have added lots of sparkly miniature butterflies made with my Pinflair punch. I have added sparkle to the red butterfly and a red gem to her hair. It doesn't show very well in the photo but even though I say so myself - it does look good.
Have a good day.

Lovely ATCs Carol as usual. I remember the craft session well and yes it was my first attempt at ATCs and Debs showed us how to make a little holder to keep them in - I still have it! I didn't sleep on a lilo though, you were upstairs, Debs and Manda in the bedroom down stairs and I slept on your bed settee in the lounge - and very comfortable it was too. We all had a lovely time - that bit I know is true.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela for putting me straight on the sleeping arrangements. I had forgotten that Chris wasn't with me then. I did remember everything else and even found photographic proof. It seems incredible but this photo that I have added was was taken on 13th July 2007. You can see the little ATC holders that we made.
DeleteI love your ATCs they are gorgeous, the grown and the ghost are my favourites, I am sure I have meet one of those ladies at the parchment show in Bristol,
ReplyDeleteIn order - from left to right are Pamela, Debs, me and Mandi. You will have seen me and Debs at Bristol Margaret.
