Made my easel ATCs for the Artist Trading Club's February swap. As they look like little works of art, I painted white card with acrylic paints, cut it into ATCs, stamped over the painted backgrounds, and finally added heat-embossed hearts and a "With Love" message in honour of the month. I like this new style of making ATCs that can stand up.

Then I made my ATCs for another February swap (see picture at the top of this post), where the theme was "hearts". The pink ones use some interesting bits of card and stickers I got in a bargain bundle of papers from my local craft shop. The yellow/green ones use Distress Inks, lots of heart stamps, and hearts made from some of my left-over acrylic-painted card. The pearlescent white acrylic paint that I have mixed in with all the colours really gives a nice sheen.

Still working slowly on my March pages for the Art Journal - I have painted them in shades of yellow, and stamped the background a bit, but not assembled them yet. Tomorrow afternoon's task, I hope ! Other than this, all the crafting I have managed to do recently has been making a few tags.

I've managed a bit of crafting in the last few days, mostly making tags for the new UKSN swap list. I did remember to take pictures, so here they are. The green/brown/orange tags I made at the monthly craft club in Twyford (first Friday of the month), and I used inchies (which are so great on tags). The pink and purple ones I made at home yesterday. They all use Distress Inks. I bought some bargain bundles of papers etc at the shop in Twyford, which will make loads of fab ATCs and tags in due course.

I also made a few one off ATCs and a Birthday Card last week, and rushed them into envelopes ready to post them, without taking photos !
