My First Ever ATCs

Finally I am trying to catch up on my blog. What a busy summer!

This set of ATCs was made for The Artist Trading Club....Swap Til You Drop. The theme was "metal". What fun for me. And how exotic and exciting to be sending these off to England and then receiving different ones from "The Queen's Country". Chriss Rollins heads the show over there. Not only is she a talented artist but she is a wonderfully warm person with a great sense of humor! Do yourself a favor and check out the swap and her personal blog - The Paper Girls!

So much crafting and so little time!

Where did the month of August go?

I have barely stepped into my craft room (except to do laundry) during the month of August. Lots of traveling and visiting with family and friends. However I did make this birthday card for my father who turned 86 on August 15th. This card was inspired by the wheat fields in his hometown of Harvey, North Dakota and his love of baseball. A week after his birthday, my sister and I took a road trip with our dad to Harvey. We had never been to North Dakota and were delighted with the beautiful farmland - especially the sunflower fields! We also met some wonderful relatives who treated us to the warmest hospitality!
