These are my ATCs for the Grimm's swap ...The Crystal Ball, The Robber's Treasure and the Witch in the Wood.  They are all digi ... with the titles on the back so you don't have to guess!

This is my version of an ATC Chunky for Rebecca .. Alchemy/Apothecary.  It is based on those children's pictures of Wizards in their lairs with the obligatory crocodile hanging from the ceiling!!     There is a phoenix rising out of the steam and flying off round the side.  The Apothecary side has herby bits and pieces .. and the legs are a mixture of the two - flowerpots and chalices.   I hope she likes it.

This is the "frame" I have made for scrapnanny.  Its based on a Timmy configurations box, but as I didn't have one, I made this from chipboard with a heavyweight card lid -- missing the middle, of course!
 Her theme was "Nature - light hearted" ... so this old postcard with tap dancing sheep on the roof of the caravan seemed just the job!  The title says it all .... Did You Hear Hailstones?

I found this cross in a charity shop,
 and knew at once that it had to be
 used on a Chunky ATC.  It reminded
me of Spanish Treasure, hence the
chest and galleon!!  This one is all 
mine, not made for a swap.

This is the Tinchie I have made for Xmasbaby .. her theme was Time/Vintage  .. so I hope this fits the bill.

chunky - the sequel


This is the Chunky ATC I've done for Hotluca.  Her theme was "silent movies, glamorous women and the charleston".  I hope she will like it.

I seem to be on a roll at the

moment .. these are the next

several month's pages for

the UKS sg "page at a time"

cj! She's Vintage sewing/ladies

... mine is 1950s; Irboo's Flora

and Fauna; KJJC's

Fun at the Beach; and

Dorothy Anne's Ladies and

Lace. They are all

digi .. but hopefully still

convey the sense of the

theme.

This is my screen for Leanie .. can
you guess its Carnivale?? She would
really have liked a 4' one, but I didn't have
a big enough box!
The colours are as near to duck egg
blue, cream and brown as I could find ..
I hope she likes it.

This is my page for Flo's "Wildstyle Graffiti" cj. She is a
follower of The Canucks ... so that's what I "wrote" on the wall.
I added their killer whale emblem and used their colours.
I hope its OK.

Monday, March 12, 2012

These are the next two
in the "send a page at a time"
cj. Honeypip's " The Fae",
and Shirley June's "Inspired by ..."
I hope they both like them.

These are my pages for the "As Quiet As" book

for our SG. Four from fabric, five of felt; some have piccies printed onto fabric and glued/sewn in place, t'others have bits and pieces glued on and some have the edges embroidered.

This is t'other matchbox shrine ..
for Chupachup2009 ... who likes "aqua and purple".
I couldn't get aqua = water out of my brain, hence the
underwater theme! The outside is a digi paper which
reminded me of coral, with a fish inserted; the
background inside is metallic paper, small shells in
appropriate colours coated in glossy accents and the fish
cut out and glued in. A tassell of shels completed the
outside.

This is my version for the "screen" swap on UKS.
Its for Creative Moments. Made with printed digi paper,
distress ink backgrounds and die cut flowers
shaped into roses. The leaves are die cut too with
twisted paper stems.

Second lot of "stamp" swaps .. this one is the
"castle/houses" stamp. Again its hybrid .. I
stamped it then scanned that, added the
digi background and printed those; then I hand coloured
them with watercolour pencils and Lumiere paints and
completed them by re-stamping over the top to
give more definition. Lets hope my fellow swappees
like the result.

This is my matchbox shrine for Hotluca

who wanted "dark, mysterious and out there" !!

The tree come from the door of a castle, the "lady" inside is Morrigan, Irish goddess of War, and the tassell and beaded lace was once

part of a risque ladies costume for a roller skating act in the 1920s.

I wonder if that is mysterious enough??









Tuesday, February 14, 2012

This is my own page for a "one at a time page" cj ... you
just send the page, not the whole cj. My theme is
"East is ....." and I thought anything Indian, Chinese or Japanese
would fit the bill nicely. This is Mumtaz Mahal ... for whom the
Taj Mahal was built.

This is my attempt at a four drawer secrets box/book
for Voodoo Vixen, Annette ... themed on Time.
The fastener is based on Dali's warped clock, and
the first drawer contains my version of his jewelled
Eye of Time. There's a pendant which is based on a
clock face lens .. made from ring earring findings and
some printed acetate!! ..a little tag book and some
key charms. It's nowhere near Annettes standard, but I hope she likes it.

This is my "Secrets" box-book for dorothyanne,


Venice. I hope I have give Anne a sample of the city and she likes the bits I chose for the drawers.

There aren't very many (being a digi scrapper, I don't have much stash) but I did make them all so that might count for something!
