More ATCs

I've got some more ATCs finished up and ready to go to their new homes.  Since I first learned about ATCs I've enjoyed making them.  They're so much fun and so quick and easy to put together, especially when you have everything all set out in front of you.  I never know how one is going to end up until it's done.  That's part of the fun though.

Here are my newest ones, using a kit by Crowabout StudioB called Just Go With It.

Here are my ATCs:

And here's the kit:

Some ATCs

I'm back to creating for Nancy over at CrowAbout StudioB.  Now that I'm back into making ATCs I thought her designs would be PERFECT for me again.  I've always loved Nancy's designs but for a while I wasn't doing anything mixed media, it was all digital and I couldn't bare to make things and not print them, so I decided to give up my spot on her team.  But now... I don't think I'll ever leave mixed media art, so I think Nancy is going to be stuck with me for a very long time.

I made a few ATCs with one of Nancy's more recent packs called Funky People Parts 2.  I've completed 3 of them and one is already traded.

Here's what I made:

And here's what I used:

Open Theme ATC swap with Karen

I LOVE swapping with Karen, her style is SO much fun.  She's still fairly new to making ATCs and I figure that if she's already this good just getting started... I MUST own as much of her art as I can : )  I really liked making the one I sent to her.  That is my style.  It has taken me a LONG time to figure out what really makes me happy but I have finally found it.  This ATC makes my heart sing.  Karen's card is first, mine is second.

Map theme ATC swap

My most recent group swap of ATCs was a map theme.  It was a lot of fun because it forced me to stretch outside my boundaries.  While I'm happy with the results of my cards, I think I'll stick with the style that I seem to be developing into- more of a layering, mixed media, inky, art journal sort of style LOL.

Below are the cards.  As always, the first set are the ones I received and the second set are the ones I made.

Open theme ATC swap

I recently did a swap with Connie, who I met on Facebook when she posted some pics of her beautiful art. I complimented her work and said that I wished I was one of her swap buddies and she said "let's swap" so we did. Connie's ATCs are first and mine are second.

Bird Theme ATC Swap

I've met some really neat people on Instagram and Facebook that I've had a blast swapping with. I'm starting to have some trouble keeping up lol. I wanted to make sure to share with you the beautiful treasures I've been getting in the mail.

A while back Karen and I did a 2 for 2 ATC swap with a bird theme. I had so much fun making my cards, they were very simple but I thought they turned out real pretty. And of course I was thrilled with the 2 birdies I got back. Karen's are the first two mine are the second two.

Ocean themed ATC swap

I just recently did an ATC swap with my friend Jen from Instagram. It was an ocean theme and I'm so pleased with the results, both in the card I made and received. Mine is the brownish colored card and Jen's is the beautiful blue one.
