[blupaisan]

I sure hit the jackpot today!!  I got three awesome cards

First, from La Chapa

Is that gorgeous or what? It is for my honeybees theme. On Thanksgiving day, we had a honeybee in our house... heaven knows where it came from! We are in upstate NY so it was out of season. It looked very troubled so we brought it outside and fed it some honey. It seemed to recover after eating and flew off.
I really love this card!!

Also from La Chapa on my fennec fox theme


a stunning piece of art. Both cards done with chalk and pastel pencil.
Thank you so much, La Chapa.

Next, on my moveable theme, from pilarfarmer, it looks like an ordinary partly cloudy day...


but you move the thingamabobbie at the bottom,

and slowly, a butterfly begins to emerge from behind the cloud...

Thank you so much, pilarfarmer. I truly love it. You have inspired me to experiment with moveables myself. I am nervous, but must try it!

[pilarfarmer]

i can't take credit for the idea i found it on this link, it is long (79) pages but a lot of great ifo and ideas  http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=136338.0. 
movables are fun to make, i always play with them before sending just to make sure they work     i'm glad you like it! 

[Lynds]

Here is blupaisan's lovely card made for my classical music theme! It's a visual interpretation of Debussy's "Claire de Lune." I listened to Debussy all the time in high school while I studied. So relaxing!



Really captures the mood of the piece! Thank you!  

[Oath Keeper]

Well I got two more lovely ATCs form La Chapa today
First is for my eyes theme. She did a gecko! I have a soft spot for reptiles I tried to get a good shot of it but no matter what I did the gold shine wouldn't show up very well

Chapa also claimed me for my beloved foxes :3 She did a portrait of a Grey Fox.

Thanks La Chapa

[La Chapa]

  So glad you got them!  It took a couple days longer than I expected & I was starting to worry that maybe I hadn't put enough postage on it.  I couldn't really get the gold to show up too well in my scan either looks more brown than anything else 

[Oath Keeper]

Yep it wanted to go brown or white on me when I was trying for a good picture.
And that is a problem on my end Last year they closed 2 of the post offices near me. Ever since then the mail has taken like double the time to get here and the mail hasn't even been delivered until after 8 at night (a few nights its even been 11PM! ) So my area is just slow now sadly.
