ATCs

Sorry for the long delay in posting. Somehow I never got back to it after our holiday, I was so busy. Anyway, for my 2012 calendar see my brand new other blog - Sheila's 2012 Calendar. And here are a few ATCs I made in 2011. We decided to give up having themes for our monthly swap, and decided to do "Anything Goes". Inspiration was flagging in November so I did dome random choices using a die, and for December it came up red and black, cute style, seasonal theme, so although I don't usually do cute, I dusted off some unused stamps made ATCs.








For November, my random choices were yellow and purple, distressed shapes. I forgot to distress the edges of the shapes so they are not really distressed style, but I did use some purple shamrock brads I got ages ago in a mystery parcel. And blue and brown, oriental, flowers (a great idea - I enjoyed doing htis, and I did use a bit of distress ink round the edges of these!)









And here are a few ATCs I made for UK Stampers network swaps. I got the panda stamp in a craft shop's closing down sale - sad to see the shop go, but we still have the chance to meet fro workshops in local halls now we can't met at the shop in Twyford.
