Surpise Halloween ATC swap 2012

[gozer]

 hahaha, radmom! Trust me, you will never have enough ATC materials! LOL! I love the little poem on your card. The cat's eyes are hilarious!

 And the Psycho (yes that is meant to be her) card was done in Copic markers. I just got a new set with all these wonderful colors but I always find myself reaching for the safety of my warm gray scale. Sorry there was no flocking Wulf! It took me about 20 minutes to convince myself to spray her. I was certain it would mess it all up but I thought it needed that special touch. I am so glad you liked it! I was nervous sending to you!
 
 NH822, I agree your moon is very elegant. And making an elegant Halloween card is not easy!
 I love the skeletons in love. You did an awesome job of making cards that look like they belong in a set Skraboo.
 Smarrt, I too am all about the candy. LOL! I am on a diet so I could practically smell your card!!! Torture!!!!
 My sister is into owls this year and I have been trying my hand at them. They are not hat easy and you did a beautiful job La Chapa!
 Rosie1981, the little Trick or Treat monster (or treater) is cute. Did you use the Cricut monster cartridge on the other card? I have it but haven't use it yet. I think I will have to pull that out.
 Nooo. Love that monster. I want to hug him and give him TONS of candy! I especially love the background. Amazing job!
 But most of all, FabricFriend, I am so jealous of your house cards. Whenever I think of my ATC's I want them to be more like that but I just don't possess that skill. You have a fan. LOVE them!

 Oh, and one more thing (yep this is going to be a touch longer). I am with Robinpich is thinking we should do this again for Christmas! I think we found your next swap Witchhippie. Or you could do a Fall/Thanksgiving one in between...  just a suggestion!

That’s too funny that you mentioned it. I was thinking of doing a Christmas ATC swap if I can get this swap closed in time. I would love to do a Thanksgiving/Fall ATC swap but I know I will not be finished with this swap in time. This is my first time organizing so I can only do one at a time. 

I was thinking after the Holidays of doing a Fairy tale ATC swap.

On a crafty note: I love all the ATCs. The diversity in styles and materials are awesome!!

I am almost ready to send, but I am not finished yet making Halloween ATC's! Seeing this gallery gives me so much inspiration that I keep making new ATC's. It makes it really hard for me to choose which ones to send out and which ones I want to keep (I also make duplicates of the sendouts for myself). I almost forgot how much fun it is working with paper. I also noticed I improved my skills! When I look back on the first ATC's I ever made (for the Love/Hate ATC swap a few years back) I am a bit ashamed that I dared to send those ones out. I like my cards now much better. (decorating Altoid Tins really helps as well, lol) Hopefully next year will be another round of this swap. The suggestion to organise a christmas-themed one sounds great, but I like Halloween a bit better

I'm loving all those ATC ideas. I really better start gathering supplies. LOL

Gozer, I am STILL waiting for Copic pens. One day, one day.

[gozer]

 Be prepared. Copics are a very costly road to  travel! I got the pens and a set of markers for Christmas last year and have been collecting penny's ever since! I tell my husband to, "turn off the lights, I need markers!". LOL!

 Witchhippie I love the idea of a Fairy Tale ATC swap. I have been a tad obsessed with fairy tales lately. My favorite ones are Rappaccini's daughter, The Thumb Sucker (Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutscher), and of course Red Riding Hood! I want to do my hallway in Red Riding Hood art. It's a long hall way. I will need help!

I know!!! That is why I still don't have a set yet. LOL Hubby is the only one working these days, and I just don't have the heart to buy them.

[NH822]

I was so worried when I pulled this out of my mailbox today!

[La Chapa]

So many more wonderful little cards!  I'm really loving this swap and I have found a new love for ATC's. 

I love that haunted house ATC,
& Gozer, your Psycho card blows me away.  I'm not surprised though because all your stuff blows me away!

[NH822]

thankfully there was no damage!!!  Thank you Robinpich for an awesome card!
