short little post

I'm going to be doing some very short little posts... I've been doing some ATCs to include in pocket letters and of course being a card maker initially I just can't seem to not put an image on mine... so I'm sharing a few that I made to enter miscellaneous challenges and I'm about to miss the deadlines... yeah.... haven't been blogging much it seems  I used to blog over 70 times a month and now I can barely do 50.... yikes... you can tell that I'm not out of the woods yet.

Anyway this is not about me it's about my little makes!

So here's my 1st one for the from the heart progressive challenge I though this would make a fab little ATC  For this I tore the sentiment out and edged it with some dysty concord.  I also tore a few strips of papers as well.  The background was made using my gelli plate (for the 1st time!)

My next one is using a fab little image from A day for daisies, I haven't played in awhile and thought it would be fun to do so.  So I used 3 different ovals in pattern paper to fit with their challenge going on. the ovals are from Nellie's ovals.  The ATC background was done using a glossy photo paper sheet and some homemade alcool inks :) and then I used a stamp to do the frame with some jet black archival inks.  The image, Fairy flower outing, was colored with my copics and some stickles.

and here's the last one that I'm sharing today and this one is to enter in the Sami Stamps anything goes challenge it's using butterfly flower.  It's the same background paper as the previous one.  I used my Nellie's rectangle and colored with my copics and some stickles.

So I'm entering these in their respective challenges over at:
From the heart stamp - Progressive challenge
A day for daisies - 3 pattern papers
Sami stamp - Anything goes

Butterfly flower

Here's my last post of the night!  I was super lucky to play in the last challenge over at Sami Stamps.  I try to play as much as possible and that time around I had a DT card to make with a fabulous image.  So I entered the challenge and Sami gave every one who entered 1$ off a digi from the store...

Well.... I just couldn't just keep it to that... so had to purchase a few more and got some great freebies at the same time.  I have some specific cards that will be made with those great images. And so after I had received my order I checked back to see what was the challenge since I really wanted to enter again and LOW and BEHOLD there's a DT call going on...  I know... some of you might think that I'm already in way too many dts... but guys... did you check how many posts I do in a month?!?  I just love crafting (and I'm not late ever with my DT work).  I especially love crafting for some of the artist that I like!  And Sami stamps is one of them.  I've made quite a few cards already just for the fun of it.  And I'm usually sharing on FB as well.

So anyway I'm throwing my hat in to the challenge.  I figured if I don't try it I'll always regret it!  And I try not to regret things!  For this card I used the fabulous image Butterfly flower.
