Hi there all. Hope you’ve kept well since the last post.

This ATC365 challenge creation follows on from ATC number 78 in which I set about making a series of ATCs from the same Artemio decorative tag pack.

Ready? Then let’s go :)

Ok, so I remembered to do this post. This is a good thing when you consider that just lately my brain appears to be melting away.

I’ll wander from one room to another and think, “now, what did I come in here for?” and then I’ll remember several hours later.Read More »

Blowing in the wind. Well, it’s a saying, not sure it has a positive connotation but hey, I’m sure I can turn that frown upside down and make something a little happier from it.

This Artist Trading Card creation features an almost monotone colour choice but conversely is a celebration of the many aspects of life, and a reminder that we should all be out there living it.

Remember the good old days before the advent of apps and instant messaging when we wrote love letters? I do.

There are times that I wish it would come back too! Old fashioned ways, can sometimes appeal more than the new ways of keeping in touch.

I have been reflecting on life a lot recently and have come to the conclusion that I should be grateful for a lot of things. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not been an easy ride; I’ve had my fair share of rubbish bits but just recently I am trying to make the choice to look at the positives and be appreciative of what I have so I wanted to sum this up in one of these ATC makes.

After a little rummage through my stash I think that I found the perfect set of sentiments. It was the “Friendly Advice” clear stamp set from Inkadinkado.

It’s a PUPPY!!!! Ok, I’ve wanted a dog in my life for a very long time – and I still haven’t got one :/

Ah well, at least it’s a theme that I can use in my ATC challenge! :)

Today’s ATC celebrates Spring. Back when I made this it was a distant vision of the future, but as I write this post it has been a beautiful day and it really feels like Spring is finally popping it’s head around the door! :)

This voyage through artist trading cards has been a bit of a discovery – both in terms of the multitude of techniques that could be used and the range of materials that could be incorporated.

This ATC is therefore dedicated to the theme of discovery.

Had a bit of a rummage today and found a few bits that I thought would work well for a bit of a weirder take on the ATC challenge that I am currently doing.
