Blissful ATC Swap- January 2011

Yep I am still doing them..hehehe!

thought I was gonna stop...but then nope just couldn't ...

I am talking about the ATC swaps over at
Blissful ATC Swaps

I love meeting new bloggers and creating these small treasures...
so this is the perfect place for me.
And very cheap to mail too.

Theme for this month is

White & Snow

so here is my rendition

I just could not get the dimension to show up for me on camera

it has three layers ...two layers of graphics and one layer of acetate

the card graphics are a freebie I downloaded from a previous swap partner

Vicki over at Whispers of Inspiration

if you get a chance she had a few to choose from

Thanks Vicki you inspired me on this one!!!!

ok, back to the card

It has the back layer..then the boy is a second layer, then I put a piece of acetate to seperate them...so the girl is actually on the outside of the acetate....and inside is glitter to create a flurry of snow...

I just love this one...hope you can see the layers in the picture below

it is totally a inter-active card.

then all my info and collectors info

I really need to start decorating the backs too

my swap partner is

Sharon at Wild Flower House

Isn't that snow man so darned cute....

And he is very little too...

I love it...

And the envelope is just darling

She also added some extra little fabric pieces for me to play with.

She explains how she made it on her blog...check it out..

think about joining us at

Blissful ATC Swap

have a bit of fun for yourself...

Happy Swapping and Collecting

More Zentangles from Me

I have been busily Tangling away my free time every where I go

not sure if it is correct Zentangle but I am certainly trying it out..

In the Garden

Flower Bud

love this one.

Angles

Dimensions

Butterfly Wishes

Love Begins

Death

I was asked to do a dark theme....

Taking a Walk

one of my favorites

Santa

Christmas is coming ya know...hehehe!

In the Eye

so far my very favorite

I haven't had any training in the Art of Zentangles and I think you can tell..I call it Zentangles becasue of its random-ness and it patterns and designs..

but you know what I love that I am drawing in any form again...

it has been far to long for me to have been away from this..

very theraputic indeed.

let your Tangle out
