The sweetest little image from The Vintage Workshop.com… Fiskars cloud punch, the smallest size… Authentique gingham paper from the Christmas collection… I think the postal cirle is from Inkadinkado… hand held heart punch from Provo Craft… CUTE staple from EK Success… Fiskars postal edge scissors.

This is what I took to swap in Des Moines yesterday. The ATC swap was at Outstamping Designs store… if you like atc’s and you’re close…join us! A fun bunch of gals. Annette did a demo using metal tape, embossing folders and acrylic paint. The next meetup is the end of January with a demo on using beeswax. Very cool!

I’m linking my ATC to the ATC Challenges blog, the theme is anything goes or vintage and to the Come and Get it Challenges blog, again the theme is anything goes.

Thanks for stopping by!

I’m linking up to the Stamp Something Challenge Blog where the theme right now is Winter Something… I think my sledding girl fits that great! : )

I really enjoy ATC’s but I do have trouble switching gears from coloring cute, so to speak! lol I enjoyed working on these though and hopefully the recipients will enjoy them and I’ve caught up a little! : )

Thanks for stopping by and hope they make you grin!
