January ATC Swap

For this month's ATC swap at Mystic Paper we were to use Glimmermist when making the ATC and make the ATC look glitzy and glamourous. Here is my card.
I used Robin's Egg Blue Glimmermist for the background and then found this lovely image of a lady dressed in blue to add to the card. I did add Stickles in gold and aqua to dress up her dress and jewelry. I think she is pretty glamourous!

Please be sure to check out Mystic Paper's new blog site that lists the themes for the ATC swaps and upcoming trades (remember the Bingo card trade of last November??). They are listed in advance so you have plenty of time to work on cards for a swap. It's easy! Come join us!!

December ATC

This is my ATC for this month at Mystic Paper. The theme was "artist's choice." I decided to do one in a Christmas theme even though I could have picked anything.
I had been stamping on tissue paper in red ink. So I decided to use that paper as the background for this ATC. I love this image so I printed her out and used red Stickles to highlight the holly berries and gold to outline the image. Green and black inks were used to shade the edges.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE GIVE AWAY THIS WEEK!!!

Pretty tags!

I've been working on some pretty tags. Love Cavallini bird postcards, vintage lady images and Cavallini paper. These are just a sample of the tags. I plan to sell them at Merchant Square.

All have lots of sparkle by using Stickles. Love those little squeeze bottle of glitz! I have yet to add ribbon ties and perhaps a few words on each one.

La Mode Illustree slide mailer collage

I picked up this small slide mailer at Mystic Paper earlier this week. Decided to do a quick project with it this morning. I made this little book. Below is a peek inside the slide mailer book.
I used old images from my scrap box, pink paint, papers, fabric (the book spine cover), trim, a stamp, and Stickles. Quick to do and fun!!
