JANUARY BLISSFUL ATC...JANE AUSTIN

I made a digital collage for the Jane Austin theme on Polyvore and sized it for an ATC.   A photo of Jane as a young lady is on e the back side...
 The cameo is done in paper clay...and a stick pin complete the look

BLISSFUL WINNER TAKES ALL ATC...

 This Steampunk ATC was made for the winner of Blissfuls winner takes all lottery over at Wendy's creative blog...each month the artists can pick a favorite theme, and if they are the winner, all the artists make her an ATC in that theme!  This is cuttlebugged plumbers foil and a clock done in paperclay edged in gold marker.

FROSTY STICKPIN SWAP...

 These are my stick pins I made for my partner in Tee's Pin Swap at the Altered Paper...each one has shades of winter...

VINATGE ATC AND ENVELOPE...

 Tee at the Altered Paper has the most fun and organized swaps each month.  I so enjoy being a part of them.  This ATC has a vintage theme to it just right for January...
 I love to stamp with Opalite inks onto photo paper because the image is hidden until you turn the card into the light...it gives it a magical quality.
I hope my partner likes it....

SEED PACKET AND DRAGONFLY ATC

 Two ATC's I made for my swap partners in AMCA.  The dragonfly is stamped into hot UTEE and colored with Pearl EX...glitter was sprinkled in to make it even more blingy.  I love this technique because it brings out all the detail in the rubber stamp.  I ink the stamp in Versamark so it will release easy and give the powder something to bite onto.

JANUARY TAG OF THE MONTH SWAP...at THE ALTERED PAPER with TEE

 This is my tag I sent to my partner for the first swap in this set.
 The poinsettia is done in paper clay and colored with chalk inks to match the tissue paper on the tag...vintage wallpaper and pretty ice glitter make a frosty statement for January.
This is the tag I got from my partner...a vintage confection!
