Family Mementos Chunky Book Swap 2016

It's time for the big Chunky Book swap reveal for this year. If you don't already know, this is a swap I do with my ATC group each year. This years theme was Family Mementos. We had 9 people participating so we each had to do 9 pages. It makes for a great keepsake when we trade and get a page from each person. As you can see from the result we had a great time going through all those old family photos and ephemera. It was also great fun to hear the stories behind some of pages.

March ATC trade

For the first time ever our theme for this month was open to what ever people wanted to do. I wonder if this makes it easier or harder to decide what to make? I used a background that I had started for something else but didn't use it after all so I didn't find it that hard really, probably easier than having to start from scratch with a theme in mind. Lot's of fun variations with this one.

February ATC's

It was a very busy meeting this month for our ATC group. Last month meeting was cancelled due to weather so we had 2 ATC's to swap as well as our annual book swap. I will try to share one day each day for the next few days. So today it is February and the theme was metal, one of my favourite to play with!

It's so interesting to see what kind of metal each person uses and how they use it. Stay tune tomorrow for March ATC's.

Recycled Christmas card ATC's

   I can't believe it's almost a week into January. Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday with friends and family. With the kids home for the holidays the time went all too fast here. It was great to have time with family.

   Now I need to back track a bit. I seemed to have forgotten to share out December ATC swap. The theme was recycled Christmas cards.

Did you find some creative time over the holidays? I didn't get too much so I'm anxious to get back at it. Time to finish up a few projects from last year and get working on some new ones.

Happy Creating!

This months ATC theme was another challenging one for me. The theme was your favourite Artist. I really can't say that I have a favourite artist so I chose one that has been inspiring me lately and that I wanted to try some of her techniques.

Again this month every ones cards were outstanding. It was so interesting to see what artist they chose and how they implemented them onto an ATC.

Kathy- Donna Watson

Louise- Gustav Klimt

Lucie- Zena Robinson

Marie- Lawren Harris

Olive- Clyfford Still

Veronica- Dalphina(her granddaughter) 

Virginia- Ruffus Porter

Wendy- Michelle Ward

So do you have a favourite artist?

Happy Creating!

Self Image ATC's

Things got a little busy this month and I almost forgot to post the ATC swap we had. The theme was Self Image. It was really interesting to see the creations for each persons self image.
