Autumn ATC's

I am sending these for a swap ~ Autumn ATC




The first going to M. Moon





I added this second one cause she likes moons and pink and yellow together.



The second going to A. Probst....
I am getting better at my watercolor on something so small, still needs work... and a steady hand.
Have a blessed week and I hope you'll leave a comment.

ATC's ATC's and more ATC's

I have been playing with some atc's for swaps that I am in and here is what I have done the last few days.
I am working on my watercoloring and finding it a bit difficult on something so small. I do hope that the recipiants will enjoy them though.
I am but a work in progress!

Two new postcards off to their new homes


These are two postcards I created for a swap with a creature theme. There had to be one thing on there that started with the Letter G. I really like the goldfish card and am not REAL happy with the Goose but I worked it to death and thought I had better send it on before I totally ruin it. I hope the recipients will be happy with them.

4 day swap ~ postcards

I signed up for a postcards swap that only allowed four days to produce them. Since I wasn't really well yesterday and stayed in the bed I was able to work on all of them and get them pretty much done. I just thought I would share them with you...

the second one is the only one not finished. I think I am going to watercolor that one too. The first is marker and colored pencil, the dog and cat are watercolored, the cat is marker. I try to make them to the persons liking that will be receiving them I am just not real good at some of it. I like to make whimsical things and some realistic.
So here they are.. whattcha think?

Brown Bag ATC

I signed up for another ATC swap and it required me to make an ATC with some sort of Brown paper bag on it. Well, I thought and thought about what to do, I tried to make a small 'thing' that would resemble a paper bag and this is what I came up with...



I drew the paper bag and used scrapbook die cuts to fill the bag, so there is some sort of 3D effect.


Then this is what I received from my Partner 'Tuesday'... Now she did exactly what I was trying to do and made an actual paper bag, you can even open it. Way Cool!

Then to top it off she sent a second ATC.... she made this sweet little dress from a brown paper bag. Thanks Tuesday, I love them both. And thanks for the mouse card too!

I just wanted to share my latest ATC's that I created. I was asked to do Sad Sam and here is what I came up with...

This one was hand-drawn ... This one was cut and pasted with scrapbook embellishements.
Whattcha think???
