Pumpkin Parade by Ruccola Designs

I love Halloween an I love ATCs!  It's been ages sine I've made any and since I've started trading with my niece I'm really excited to be back at it.  One of my co-workers is kind of in the same boat, hasn't traded ATCs in a long time and when I told her about trading with my niece it lit a spark and I asked if she would like to swap.  She said yes, so we did!  I chose to use Rucola Designs latest release, Pumpkin Parade foro my ATC.

Here's what I made:

And here's the kit:

Eerie Whispers by SherrieJD

I'm a little slow this month, not sure what's going on, just been ridiculously lazy I guess.  SherrieJD put out a fantastic new kit called Eerie Whispers a few weeks back and I'm just now getting around to get my piece uploaded to all my galleries and posted on my blog.  Not being a very good support person, I guess : (  But I have to tell you, this was a super fun kit to play with.  I decided to make an ATC for sweet niece, Emily.  She told me that she likes Owls, so I thought she would really like this.  I can't wait to hear what she says!

Here's what I made:

Emily's ATC Binder

A little over a year ago I got to spend some time with my niece who was 12 then.  She told me that when she grows up she wants to be an Artist!  Much to my delight, of course.  I've been encouraging that dream ever since by sending her little things and making art for her.  I recently suggested we start trading ATCs and she said that sounded good!  Again, much to my delight.  SO... I decided to get a binder together for her and some baseball card sleeves (ATCs fit perfectly in them) to go in the binder and I made her a nice insert for her binder.  It's all set, complete with her very first ATC and it will go in the mail on Monday.  I'm SO excited.

Here's the insert I made for the binder:

And here it is all printed and put together:

And here's her ATC:

Here's everything I used to make this project:

Mermaid and Fairy Beach Day Pack by Crowabout StudioB

The moment I saw this pack I knew that some sweet little mermaid enclosed inside was going to be adopted and given a brand new home on my Ocean themed bathroom wall.  I'm so happy with how this turned out.
