ATC : Sleighing!

Okay, so I'm not the most dutiful blogger.  I hope this year I will pick up the pace.  There are plenty of my older projects that I've never posted and this is one of them.  This ATC is from the January 2013 swap with my friend and faithful enabler, Donna.  Our theme was "Sledding or Sleighing."

ATC : Autumn Burns Brightly

MFW Tuesday Trigger

Today I'm linking this ATC to Unity Friends With Flair and to Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger.  The MFW Trigger is "Enthralled with Fall" and this ATC is all about Fall!  I found the following quote and loved it!

Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees.  

                                      Faith Baldwin

The leaf stamp on the embellishment is from the Unity September 2013 LOL kit.  The leaf is stamped on a Heidi Grace Glass Effects acrylic piece that I first sanded then stamped and embossed with Ranger Enchanted Gold embossing powder.  To finish it off I applied alcohol ink and stitched it to the background with metallic thread.

ATC : Pumpkins For Sale

It was a dark and starry night...

These pumpkins are so small - they range in size from 3/8" x 1/2" to 5/8" x 1  1/4" !  Because they're so small I had to use the point editing feature on my Silhouette to simplify the swirl and leaf designs so they didn't end up as shreds!

ATC: Flutterby

ATC : Autumn's Flowers

ATC : Donna's ABC Book

I hand-stamped all those letters in that tiny little book!

ATC : The Dream

ATC : Time For Tea

ATC : Beautiful

My dear friend and I have started a monthly ATC exchange and this is my January ATC.  The challenge was to use the colors brown and blue and to reference snow in some way.  The blue card stock and the brown metallic paper were both plain and were decorated with different stamps, inks and embossing powder.  I hand beaded the snowflake then tacked it down with clear nylon thread.
