The illuminated I is great, looks like it came right out of a medieval transcript.

I love the Intelligent one!

Wow wow WOOOOWWW!!Great cards. And great way to depict each letter. Handy, Invention and Iggy stand out the most still!
 
Due to the complete destruction of my camera, I will not be posting pics of the ATCs I receive, and unfortunately none of my partners took pics before they sent I did promise them all do describe them the best I could, and post pictures as soon as I buy a new camera!! Great gals all three!

SSSSOOOO:

I received a rockin' card from lunanne. I was looking at it thinking to myself how this possibly fits in with GHI??? It's an owl!  Oh, but it says "hoot hoot", and I was thinking that that was a great interpretation for H... but then I flipped over the card, and discovered H is for "HIBOU"... owl en francais!!!! Within golden feathers, buttons for eyes and a little gem of a beak!! YAY!

now that i'm done that, i can rave over the atcs as a participant! i'm kinda behind....

kish, your grapes look so shiny and glossy and YUMMY!

rdhdnrd, i love your pin ups girls and the VINTAGE BUTTONS! (i'm a little obsessed with collecting them!)

mamaedgar, another lovely burned card! i'm impressed with your ability to control that!

goodnotevil, that's an awesome igloo! i totally thought of doing igloo as well, since i'm from canada, and everyone knows we live in igloos!

tygir, i love the 40s style lady! i kinda want to steal her hat... and the I is so lovely, what a gorgeous card!

sajona, the icicles are super pretty, and the gurning one is hilarious! i love the regional words people are using!

yellie, i love your paintings! gargle is awesome, i totally wouldn't have ever thought of that one! for some reason i really love the teeth on the ice cream girl - she looks like she's about to take huge bite out of her ice cream (obviously not someone with teeth sensitivities! )

Radegund, are you in the steamunk atc swap as well? the invention card i great! so clever!

ficklepegasus, that's an awesome polyclay card! such a pretty flower, i love the budding plant.

corwin, what a pretty card! i like how simple and earthy it is - is that cork at the top? very cool.

coryjo, such pretty flowers! i like the stamps, and the orange flowers. they look glossy, did you coat them with something?

ajanderson78, i'm really enjoying how the words you're using all go together!

juliusmunki, i can't believe i didn't think of inchies! what a great idea! i really like the face. the geisha card is so pretty - are those little glass balls over her?

SewHelpMe, the glue gun is perfect for craftster! i love the simplicity of it, with the glittery glue. so great!

neverseenblue, i LOVE the identical card! i love the layers and the picture. and i love their great striped shirts, very cool!

lots more great cards!

I love the I by tygir and the identical one kinda creeped me out, iv watched too many old horror films involving scary twins in black and white!

What is it on the geisha one? Embossing powder, glitter, microbeads? i cant quite tell, but it adds a nice effect

coryjo, such pretty flowers! i like the stamps, and the orange flowers. they look glossy, did you coat them with something?
 

I used a product called Crystal Effects.  I got it from Stampin' Up so other companies might call it something else.  I like how you can use it to make just one small detail stand out

First, a huge appology for my horible PM sending skills as of late. Sorry to our lovely organizer and my partners for my blondness. To make up for it a couple beautiful cards.

G is for Garden by Tygir. It is hand drawn and painted (i assume) with water colors. So classy. I strive for artistic ability like this.



H is for Hump by yellie. Hand painted on handmade paper. I laughed when I saw this. Its so original. I love your style!

the identical twins card is a printed page with the definition of identical and the picture of the twins is on a transparancey and i believe it is a picture of her grandmother and her twin    the geisha has micro beads on it

[juliusmunki]

thanks soooo much to my awesome swap partners for posting pics!! Things have been crazy here - we are all just finally cleaned up from the last round of severe storms and crazy - we are having some tonight - I have power but most don't and the hail has broken some windows in my friends house - power outtages - crazy weather - anyway...

 I have some really great additions to my ABC ATC collection !!  Geez I was really shocked to see how many beads fell of the geisha!!  I Layered on the adhesive!!  But I was nervous about it the whole time!!  My glue gun is awesome, too!! I Never thought of that word!!  and it tured out so cute!!

I love ALL the cards!!  they are sooo great - its fun to see words I NEVER thought of  - like identical and gargle and hump!! very funny - and words that crossed my mind but, I wasn't sure how to play them out!!  Especially those verbs - which I always come up with but never seem to be able to express!!   I love tygir's watercolors -

I received my 'h' card from clrowi today. I love it, it's so adorable! And it's hand drawn too! So cool!

"Hokulani Hippo Hulas"


And a little more about that pretty lady hippo: "Hokulani hails from Hawaii where she happily hulas for hours while humming hypnotic hymns. She also enjoys mud baths and buying outrageous underwear." (She totally does, she's wearing polka dots underwear under her grass skirt!)

Thank you so much clrowi! I love my card!
