Here is a couple ATC's that I have created for a couple swaps for the Stampers Corner group in Yahoo groups. Great little group with lots of swaps. The first one is for the Winter Holiday Swap. I used Copic Markers and gel pen to add some sparkle. The second one I use alcohol inks on photo paper. I love this technique, no two ever looks the same. I added some dragon fly stickers and used foam squares for the middle square to give it some depth.

I joined up with a new swap group in yahoo groups "Stampers Corner" and these are a couple ATC's I have made for the swaps. My camera phone does these pictures injustice to its true colors.

I have been playing with my copic markers lately and with watercolors. I still have a ways to go with mastering the art of using them.

Feb Swaps

I haven't done much lately with my blog, been busy with so much family tree projects, that I haven't done much scrappin. This past weekend I decided I need to get some of my swaps made. Here they are.

For a Fold Swap

 This fold card I did wasn't too easy for me, had to make a couple of them before I figure out what I was doing wrong ( I kept using the wrong size paper) HA

This is for my spring card swap

This Spring card, I used colorbox inks to give it a distress look to it.

St. Patty's Day Swap

This ATC St. Patty card. I used watercolors, I never used water colors before. I saw a video how the lady used watercolor on the paper and then zentangled around the the natural lines. I really like this technique a lot and will be using it more. I also sprayed some Perfect Pearls Mist to give a gold shimmer to it.

St. Patty's Day Swap

This ATC is didn't use the gold perfect pearls spray, I love how the water color gave it that look.

Been Away For awhile

Long Time No See...

Its been a long time since I have posted anything on here. Sorry gang. Just been caught up with doing other things that it has taken up so much of my time. I am hoping to update you on what I have been up to. We will start with today. I made a card today, using cricut craft room. I have struggle with doing this card because the craft room program has a lot of bugs in it, hopefully they will run them out soon. Until then I just make do.Its free so I shouldn’t complain too much eh? 

This year I am learning how to Zentangle. I love it. I have always been a lousy drawer. Heck, I can Barely draw stick people. I saw doing Zentangles awhile back ago and thought wow that gotta be hard to do…Well guess what, its not that hard. I you can draw stick people you can do Zentangles. Here is some of my creations:
