The atc experience continues.........

Ok two posts in one day.......I think this qualifies for a few "atta girls" some brownie points and some forgiveness for being absent so long while traveling........please. I cut out the base for the atc. This is really necessary, but I was reading that the 'pros' like a nice heavy base to make their work sturdy...........alas, let me start out right.........tee hee..........I love it. The hardest part of this is remembering to put the blade back in - the littlest one wants to help all of the time and will just pop up and appear......I don't need to have to make a trip to the emergency room, that's for sure!

Here I have them cut out.........

2.5 x 3.5...........forget recycling for awhile........using old cereal boxes and cracker boxes..........man I hope the boys will eat more.

I have no idea where I am going with this thing, so I started to make a few back round papers........

This is mulberry paper, most of it ripped and some stamped on, then glued down to an 8 x 11 paper. I love mulberry paper...........used lots and lots of it when I was making cards to send to my daughter in Iraq.

This isn't the best picture.......it's a stamp of a butterfly made of words........remember this will all be cut, again into 2.5 x 3.5 pieces.....so you will never get a full butterfly on any one piece. Here are two pieces I like too......one stamped with a music sheet and the other a back round stamp in two colors............

This is my ultra most favorite..........tissue paper, stamped just with the ink pad and then the word "leaf" written on it in English, French, Italian and Spanish.............oh and a few squiggles too. I also typed a sheet of paper with the same words on it............

Now after all of this, and trust me it was no bother to do........I love doing this sort of thing.......I woke up this morning, again, none to early with a whole different idea...........oh well, just store these away for another project.........or maybe I will do a couple of different types of ATCs........

Hope this made you smile a wee bit............
