This card was for the One Tiny Thing 11 swap... so it now resides with susanab (whom I greatly thank for the awesome pictures, because I can't for the life of me remember to take any before I send!!!).  It's called "Lucky You!" and has a lucky Japanese kitty on it.



and the fun dangly-thing is a cat-tag.  It's removable, because I love multipurpose things.



any comments/criticism appreciated... I think my lettering came out all wonky, but susanab says she loved it, so... 

Okay, so these were my first ATCs (and now I'm hooked, by the way).
They were for the Geisha ATC swap.


this one is drawn on transparency plastic and hinged onto the background.

this one is a printed image with lots of cutouts.

this one is almost entirely cut out (other than her hair) and reassembled onto the background.

Oh, and thanks to qazicat, bhean, and kaos for their kind words of encouragement, and for taking the beautiful pictures for me, because like a newbie I forgot.

i saw this dress and fell in LOVE with it!  i was hoping to make it for christmas or new years (it stays reasonably warm in Florida)... but i'm really a newbie when it comes to making things this complex.  i don't even know where to start!
