A few things in the mail...and a few of my own!

When I returned from Germany I found envelopes from two fellow ATC fanatics! First was a lovely fabric one made by Lynn at Getting My Feet Wet! Isn't it a beauty??? I Love how she is able to make these absolutely gorgeous little works of art with her sewing machine!!! I love the photo card too, Lynn! It is just beautiful! Thankyou so much!

The next great surprise I found was an ATC made on a special handmade paper...from Margaret at Water Blossoms! It is so pretty and I love how it looks on that special paper. It is one of a kind gorgeous!!! You can see how lovely her hand drawn envelope is too! All of these things will be added to my art board in my bedroom. I love waking up to it in the mornings and just spending a few minutes laying there looking at all the beautiful artwork done by my blogger pals!!! WOW!

My teenage daughter and I were out goofing around one night a few weeks back, and I tried using a spirograph to make some ATC's, and she added the bits of color making them into abstract cuties! I really ended up loving them...I call her the finisher. I am much more of a "coloring within the lines" person, and she adds the finishing touches. A good combination, I say!!! Thanks for your help, Carolyn!

And lastly...a little ATC I made using milky pens on black construction paper. After I finished kind of doodling this ball, I added the two birds, and thought it looked like a LOVE NEST, so that was how it ended up! It turned out kinda cute, and just thought I would show these to you so you would not think I had lost all ambition to make!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!
xoxo- Julie

  2. Those sewn atcs are a marvel to me. Margarets atcs are most beautiful. Ilove her style.

    Your flowery atcs are great especially with your daughters added color. Of course the birdies make me smile.

    I hope you are getting settled into your home routine now.
