October Countdown to Halloween~Day 7

Hello! Tonight's post is an ATC collection that I made last year for a swap that didn't happen. An ATC is an Artist Trading Card, a 2.5" x 3.5" piece of artwork. I did post pictures last year but lost the post, so I decided to re-post them. The digital image backgrounds are from Moonlight Journey. Awesome collage sheets and they are having a BOGO sale until Oct 10, hurry! The "heads" and the "witch" are free from The Graphics Fairy. Thank you so much Karen, your blog and your willingness to do all of that work is amazing.

 Have a great week everyone! See you tomorrow for more spooky fun....

Last ATC From the Couples Series

I can't believe how fast the month of September is passing, I haven't posted anything since the first!!! Having a senior in high school who plays on two soccer teams can be time consuming, (so glad she and her friends drive). I wouldn't have it any other way though, she is my joy.

This is the last ATC from my 'Couples' series. The title is 'Moonlight Romance'.

I would like to visit some of my favorite linky parties, if I can find some time.

Spring Love (it's PINK)

I am excited for Autumn, I do love the crunchy leaves and  crisp air. Why is my ATC labeled Spring? I'm not sure, but I want to finish up my 'Couples' ATC series. I have one left after this. I also want to join the Pink Saturday linky party at How Sweet the Sound this weekend. I'll also be sharing at these fine parties:

Look What I Made at Creations by Kara ~ You can find a lot of yumminess here!
Wildly Original Linky Party over at I Gotta Create! ~ Where You Gotta Love It All! Christina comes up with fantastic ideas!
Home and Garden Thursday at A Delightsome Life ~ Kathy has a gorgeous blog, if you need to unwind and relax head over. Her music is soothing and it's a delight for the eyes too.
Treasure Hunt Thursday at From My Front Porch To Yours ~ where Pamela shares her lovely home.
Home Sweet Home over at The Charm of Home ~ This is a new blog to me, but so far I am loving what Sherry does over there!
Happy Hour Friday at Happy Hour Projects ~ Adrianne has a Fabulous party going on starting every Thursday, and her blog is amazing.
Visit the Open House at Bernideen's Tea Time Blog ~ Here you will find beautiful music and garden tea time!

"Tell me, tell me you love me"

I just wanted to update you all on the title I picked for this ATC:

Thank you to all who responded on this post. I decided to use Robyn's title suggestion, "Tell me, tell me you love me". I think it is perfect. Not only that, but I visited her blog and her projects are awesome!!! Go see what Robyn, at Scrapbooks and Journals is up to. Lots of inspiration there. Thanks again Robyn!

Happy Day and Featured at Inspire Me Fridays

Thank you Maria, at Joyful Stamper, for featuring me this week at the Inspire Me Fridays link party. Check out Maria's lovely blog, she makes the best cards and paper craft items! Her link party attracts everything from cards, crafts, recipes, to re-purposed items. This is the ATC she featured, thanks again!

This ATC is called 'Happy Day'. Doesn't she look happy to have her man home from the war? Such a gentle kiss  from him and adoring look from her. Only 3 more ATC's left in my 'Couples series', I know you are probably getting tired of seeing them. *smile* Thanks so much for visiting!

ATC

I'm almost done with my ATC Couples Series. This is "Grey Snow". The ribbon around the bottom is actually  a soft pink organza. It makes for a nice little 'pop', but I couldn't get a good shot for anything that day. I've been working for an upcoming tutorial. Look for it on the first Monday of August. Thanks for stopping by! I love to know what you think.

Lavender and Roses

 Couples Series #11. The base of this ATC is lavender, but looks grey. I guess that's normal, seeing as lavender is grey, heehee. Thanks for stopping by! I love to read your comments.

Couples Series #10

I've titled this one "Blushing Bride".  Weddings weren't always the huge event with the big white dress, my grandmother was married in a short dark blue dress. The couple here remind me of my grandparents wedding pictures. A simple ATC for a simple wedding! ~Thanks for stopping by~
