Taylor's ATC Swaps

Taylor VanBruggen invited me to join in on her ATC swap a couple of weeks ago and I gladly accepted. ATC's are a blast to make and are sooooo fast and easy! I signed up for two different spots - the Hambo swap and the My Favorite Things swap. In the first ATC's I used the adorable Bra stamp from Hambo - isn't it just the cutest?!! If you don't have it, you need it! In the bottom ATC's I used the tree and sentiment from Home For The Holidays from MFT! I love, love, love these and I hope everyone that receives these feels the same! I am supah busy this weekend with all my card orders - I think somebody opened the flood gates! bahaaa! I will be finishing up some baby shower invites tomorrow and will try to post those for you. Sunday I am hoping to start on Christmas card orders that I have lined up............can't wait to get started!

Oh yeah, I am absolutely lovin' this SU! Big on Christmas stampset! I adored it when I saw it in the book, but when I finally got it out this weekend to make up a few swap cards for my stamp club, I was absolutely in love! When I got finished with this card I liked it so much that I think I am gonna use it for some of my christmas cards - I like to make a few different varities. *wink* I will be back in a day or two with a Hanna Stamps sneak peek of the brand new set that will debut this Friday - it is adorable!

I finally decided to make one of these adorable totes that we've been seeing all over SCS. Leslie Miller has an amazing tutorial on her blog - check it out here. These totes are so easy to make and you can easily fit 4 cards/envies inside. My stamp club will be making this exact tote tomorrow during our meeting - I think they are gonna like it! I have to run, I have orders out the whazoo for cards and invites and I need to get started! Have a great rest of the weekend!

This beauty is one that came to me from an MFT swap that I was in. It was made by my wonderful friend Pam Bassett (4hounds)! Isn't it a beauty?! I absolutely love the dimension! I love it Pam, it was one of my favorites! Pam has a new blog, if you haven't checked it out you need to - It's called Indigo Studio.

I joined a Halloween ATC swap a couple of weeks ago that my good friend Laura Leonard was hosting - this was my contribution to the swap. I don't do ATC's that often and I don't know why, because they are so quick and easy! I used SU! shimmer paper, so the spiders look sparkly. I can't wait to get everyone else's ATC's and see what they came up with. I was asked to join in on my friend and fellow DT member Taylor Van Bruggen's ATC swap a few days ago - she has a bunch of different ATC swaps going on - I signed up for the MFT and Hambo swaps. I am so glad it's finally Friday! That means relaxing and stamping this weekend - woohoo!
