ATC holder swap

I made this ATC holder as part of a swap on CCSwaps. It will be heading off shortly to Linda in Idaho, USA. I used the mini album instructions (see my blog entry for 22nd November 2007), however I started with a piece of paper 16" square. I stuck ATC clear pockets on each page so it will hold 14 ATCs (It should have held 16 ATCs but I made a mistake when glueing the pages together so had to cut one page off!). I used some of my shining stones backgrounds on the bottle tops.

My Fruit

You Are a Strawberry

You are friendly, outgoing, and well liked by many people. You are popular, but there's nothing ordinary or average about you. You are a very interesting person, and you have many facets to your personality. Sometimes you feel very conflicted. Your different sides of your personality pull at you. You are a very sensual and passionate person. You are fiery... you can't help it. In general, you keep your passionate side under wraps. You are only wild in private.

What Type of Fruit Are You?

My colour

You Are Teal Green

You are a one of a kind, original person. There's no one even close to being like you. Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible. While you are a bit offbeat, you don't scare people away with your quirks. Your warm personality nicely counteracts any strange habits you may have.

Birds

I thought I'd have a go at some bird collages for another possible swap.

Fairy

I have been playing with Photoshop and experimenting with blending modes. I used a photo which I had taken at my birthday party of my friend's little girl, Tahlia. She is so cute, I had to add wings! I also used one of my shining stones scans in the background.

Instant art

I have recently made some 'instant art' for a swap on CCSwaps. The idea is that these items can be used in other projects you make. These items are ready made so can add speed to any project.

I sent 5 decorated side mounts (I love making these)





Also 5 decorated tags. I had great fun making a variety of backgrounds, including shining stone.

Also 5 little beauties. These are 1.5" x 2" and can be used a card toppers or on ATCs.

I also sent 5 ATC backgrounds. I again had a go at the shining stone technique but used pearlescent card instead of glossy paper. This has an overall sparkle to it which I love.
