atc's and tags

Oh, happy days! my images appeared this time! don't you think the Atc's are remarkable??
The tags are all so bright and cheery! I'm doing another swap for Atc's and also for Tags!
Fiskateers keeps me busy with all these remarkable works of art!
Wishing you all a great day!

Spring swaps and a winner!

I got involved with tag and atc swaps at Fiskateers! Atc's are such a remarkable work of art and i love making them as well as receiving them! Making tags is also a fun project to do! I just received my Atc swap and the theme for this was the color purple!

I would really like to show you them but the images seem to be having difficulty appearing here!

Father's Day Rak

A couple weeks ago i went to " Girls Night Out" at the Bay and i won this men's clarin's gift set in one of the draws! It has moisture balm, uv protector, active face wash, active face scrub, and 2 self tanning gels! And ....... as a bonus ......don't you think the cutesy container would look nice in your scrappy area? lol
If you would like a chance to win this please leave a comment stating what you would use the container for! I will make the draw on May 31 at midnite and will post the winner on june 1st!

Crops, Raks and More

Happy Scrappy Day! On National Scrapbooking Day I went to an awesome crop at The Scrapping Bug ( http://www.thescrappingbug.com/xcart/home.php ) Catherine from Scrapbook and Cards Today ( http://www.scrapbookandcards.com/ ) dropped in and surprised us with awesome make n takes and everyone stopped cropping to have a chit-chat! Some girls had met for the first time but before you knew it we were all bantering back and forth!

I also did some on-line challenges and one of them was : why i scrapbook! the journalling for " People, Places and Things" reads as follows: everyone i have met, everywhere i've been and things that interest me have shaped who i am today. I hope by preserving these moments that i may inspire others to " Find Joy in the Little Things" and enjoy happiness always!

I also have developed a keen interest in Artist trading Cards ( ATC's)! The purple set featured here are for a swap from " fiskateers" and the theme was to create ATC's using the color purple! These 16 are for a swap! each one has variations in them so no 2 are exactly alike!

Now for the topic about Rak's!!! I love Rak's! I've received many over the months ( through swaps, challenges or the generosity of others!) I've been keeping the return address portion and noted " who, what, where and why" i recieved them! I have enough to put in a container and i will be doing random draws from time - to -time!! Today i pulled a random name and i will be sending a small rak to: Frankie!! ( http://makingmemoriesforyou.blogspot.com/ )

Watch my blog for an awesome Father's Day Rak coming up very shortly! I went somewhere last night after cropping and won a draw! ( more will be revealed lol ) It is geared towards the male gender!

wishing everyone a good day!

challenges motivate me!

Scrapadilly is having their "friday night boredom fighters" challenges! the top layout is using black and white pics! the pattern paper is sturdy and too beautiful to trim so i used it in lieu of cardstock! arent the little feet in the bottom right corner the cutest?

The next challenge is a heritage one with the focus on journalling about why the person stands out in my memory! the pics are from 1927! my gramma, grampa and baby dad! lol

Hope everyone is having a happy scrappy day! Take care!
