ATC with Matching Dominoes

Here are a couple of pictures of some ATCs I made with matching Dominoes for a Stamp Shack swap hosted by Christie. Check out her great craft blog here. I used Tim Holtz alcohol inks (Latte and Caramel) for the backgrounds and the leaf stamp is by Inkadinkado and stamped using Jet Black StazOn Ink, "explore" is by Clear Choice Stamps. I used Xmas Red Stickles for the dots on the bottom. The ladybug was colored with red oil pastels. I can't wait to see what all you others have created, and will post them as soon as they arrive in my mailbox!

Let's Get Sewing ATCs

Sherri at the Stamp Shack posted a swap to get sewing on some ATCs. I had never tried, and thought it sounded like fun. While looking at old photos with my mom one afternoon, I found a sweet photo of two children holding flags. I thought it would make a great ATC - another first - using a photograph for an ATC. So, I stitched around the edges with red, stamped memories in blue and hand tinted the large flag with water color pencils. I added a heart shaped brad in the corner for a finishing touch.

We don't yet know who the children are in the photo, but my mom thinks that it may have been taken on a 4th of July at a family reunion. I've been trying to track down the story of these two children. I'll make a new post once I solve the mystery.

The Eyes Have It!

Just a quick post to show you the fabulous ATCs I got in the mail recently. I seem to have misplaced the one I made, but here's a picture of the others. To see mine (in an earlier post) - click HERE. These wonderful pieces of art have come to me from all over the world. Thank you all so much! I love each one.

PS I sent out a packet of stamped images to Lindsay and Cheryl for commenting on my last post. Thanks, ladies!
