Ongoing ATC Swap - JUNE, 2011

[jillybeans]

I'm glad you like them, blupaisan!  The cloud background is done in chalk w/ a stencil that I made years ago.  I'm amazed its still holding up since its just regular cardstock.  It looks like it could be scrapbooking paper, but its not.  Its chalk!  Weee!

And yes, the asparagus part is stamped in.  I bought a pack of alphabet letters at Michael's for a $1, which is pretty awesome!  They have a bunch of different fonts, too.  What a steal!

Ah, garbage plates.... I love how they seem so normal in Rochester but you mention them and everyone else is so confused...

I LOVE the asparagus card! So cute!
I received some awesome cards from jillybeans and Mountains and Clouds today. Will be posting this weekend... just bought a new camera and am rather impatiently awaiting the battery charge!

[jillybeans]

Love the zombie card cuz its so true....

lol, indeed.  Flaming zombies are much worse than regular zombies.  ^_^

I received from mintdawn yesterday.  She sent me a 3 for 1 for my Final Fantasy theme.  Each card was made by a different family member.  She has some incredibly talented people in her family, who can all draw!!!  How cool!

The first is a Black Mage.


Next is Hope Estheim from FF XIII.


And last but not least, my favorite: SEPHIROTH!!!  Its called Sephiroth Chibi.  ^_^  I love Sephiroth, he is my all time favorite FF character.


Thanks so much, mintdawn and family, for all the wonderful cards!  I love them!  Thanks!

Mintdawn did this wonderful octopus.  It's sleepy!


Jillybeans did this gardening atc with real morning glory seeds!


Gozer and I did a personal swap for this lovely bunny.  I know you will all enjoy it!  sorry it's sideways.  I couldn't get it to turn.


and this last one wasn't signed on the back so not sure who sent it.  It is from one of my favorite childrends books!


thanks everyone so much!!

I got two today from pollyprissypants!  First, on my sugar skulls theme -

this is my first sugar skull card and it came out great. I am just gathering an interest for them after seeing them for years.

next on my sheet music theme-





the music is Alley Cat (remember the dance that goes to that?)
This is also a great one, with the kitty on the fence with the full moon - so inviting!

Thank you very much, pollyprissypants!

[Mountains and Clouds]

Oh man, I miss so much when I'm away from my computer for a day or two!  These are great!  I love Tikki Tikki Tembo! One of my favorites... and I'm glad people seem to like the Kraken card! (P.S. Garbage plates are delicious...)

Here are some new arrivals!

From gozer, on my fairy tale theme:  The girl with the Green Ribbon around her neck"

Beautiful!!  I love how the ribbon is actually tied around her neck!!

And then, today, I got the motherload from Mrs.LindsayLoo!
For my folk instruments and firefly themes, I got a delightful triptych:

"Stand Up Bass and Bugs"



"Banjo Bug"



and "Jar of Lightning Bugs" (note the harmonica...)


I love all the little drawings!!





And then also from Mrs.LindsayLoo, for my pop-up theme (this is try #2, I guess the mail ate the first one... )


The bold colors are awesome!!  Love it!!

YOu guys ROCK!! Thank you so much!

This one is from our wonderful host, redstar13.
The theme was favorite fairy tale.  What a beautiful castle.

From Tuesday and Saturday I received two...

Tuesday I received from Gozer my theme of birds leaving in beards; entitled: "Birds!" Awesome!  My friend actually wants gozer to do a portairt of him (which incidentally isn't to far off from this one. Only he has blue eyes and wants a male a female cardinal).


Then on Saturday, I got one from PollyPrissyPants from my theme of Things that don't go in the microwave.  It is called "Peeps + Microwave =

So, true!  They are good to use as Smores though...Mmmm...Roa sted over a campfire!
