Egg Shaped ATC's

Here a few cards I made in the shape of an egg for a swap with my MAMA sisters. This size was fun to work with since it was different than the normal 2.5 x 3.5 format. I added a little opulence since they were of Marie Antoinette and afterall, she was the Queen!

Thanks to EK Duncan for this image of Marie and the background. You can visit her blog here: http://www.ekduncan.com/

Now Showing...

....Gone With The Wind. Oh what fun this was to make! I remember watching this on TV with my mom when I was small. I only remembered that it was very very long and the one line uttered by Rhett Butler, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" Pretty x-rated for back in 1939.

This card was made for a current swap with my VPI sisters.

Perfume Bottle Charm Bracelet

In February I participated in a perfume bottle charm swap with the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group, and this is what I made with my returns. I'm amazed at the craftsmanship that each lady put into making her charms. Some have little spritzers attached to the bottle that makes for a life-like perfume bottle. Some have a label attached with little rhinestone for added bling. All of the charms are fabulous and I'm so glad I played in this swap.

Marie and a Little Bling

I was recently RAK'd some beautiful wallpaper samples from a friend in the Boston, MA area. Here note stated that these papers reminded her of Marie Antoinette and since I'm a big fan of Marie, she sent them to me. Lucky me! This is just one card I've made with the paper samples. Thank you Hester, you are a doll!

Thanks for looking!!



Spring!

I know it's a bit early, but today it was 82 degrees in my state of Virginia. Just a reminder that warmer weather is on its way. I know that when July rolls around, we are going to be saying, I can't wait for winter! So, as little tribute to Spring and all that it brings I've created a little card using Flower Soft. Oh my, I love this stuff!

Mad Hatter's Tea Party

I have been working on something a little different for me...well, a little different. I joined a swap where Alice in Wonderland is the theme. I'm sorry to admit that as a child I never read the story but have enjoyed doing research on the subject the past few days. I really liked the old vintage images of Marie, The Madd Hatter and the White Rabbit but for the life of my I couldn't come up with an ATC that I liked. So, I got the idea to make invitations to a tea party and cover all the bases. The invitation itself is an ATC complete with a matching envelope. I love the way they turned out and hope you do to!

Perfume Bottle Charms

My first swap with the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group was a charm swap. I love beads and immediately joined the swap. We were to create 20 charms to resemble perfume bottles. How clever is that! It was fun and I can't wait for my returns because I see a charm braclet in my future!

The Saturday Evening Post

I am hosting a swap with the VPI Group where Norman Rockwell is the theme. There are so many Saturday Evening Post covers that showcase his work. My favorites are the ones with children doing what children do. He had a way of capturing their essence and bringing it to life. This is my first card so far.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Mardi Gras

I made these cards for a current swap with the VPI Group where the theme is Mardi Gras



Marie Valentine ATC's

I am pleased to be a new member of the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group and just had to join a current swap where the theme is Marie Valentine ATC's. It's been raining almost all day so I used the time to create my cards.

Look Into My Crystal Ball......

This is one of six cards I'm making for the "Look Into My Crystal Ball" swap at the VPI Group. There are so many images of gypsies / fortune tellers on the internet, but I just love this one. She has the sweetest face that I just couldn't pass up, so I will be using her image more than once for sure.
