Week #116 ATC's



Hi everyone hope you have had a great start to the week-end this week at OSCC the topic is ATC's these are little trading cards that many years ago was how Artists uded to sell their wares and now it's not much different only there is no excange of money.
This weeks Sponsors are Tiffany Doodles



This weeks hostess is me I don't make many ATC's but I really admire them they can be as easy or complexed as the maker wants them to be, I have chosen Anything Goes as it makes it a bit more relaxed for people who would like to try to make them without the stress of a theme. Please come along & have some fun, pick up tips & ideas, mine is Tiffany Doodle digi image matted onto a Nestie Die #10, black pearls 2 TH stamps.

This is my little fella's card he told me "he is 4 which is before 5 and more than 3" and when he grows up he will work & live in a Zoo in Africa to someone called Katie, but that was last week this week he will be IRONMAN and he's sister Grace is going to be a teacher because she's bossy.
I am being a bad Card maker I have stopped buying and am trying to use up my stash which by the end of it, it will be vintage haha no seriously this paper has made me 3 cards & there is still some left it's Dove Craft, the doiley I have cut in half, the Peel off letters & numbers are Anita's but I hang my head in shame as I do not remember where I got thr Digi from (pre coloured).

Now sadly I have to say goodbye to a lovely lady whom some of you may have met through Blogging as she ventures on to New Beginnings I have worked along side  Suzi
and she is a lovely person I wish her great luck & happiness in whatever she does.

Good morning hope everyone is ok and this weeks challenge on OSCC is right up your street by making a card for a male the lovely Gina is this weeks Hostess and the Sponsors are Stitchy Stamps. I made a standard square card, black backing card, Dove Craft DP's (left overs from "new beginnings") waste not want not, also a few odd buttons I then got a bit greedy compared to my other DT buddies (who only used 1 stamp) I used 2.

No cards today

Just a little note to keep in touch with everyone and to say I have not got a card as yet to share with you all, "I have done my shoulder in" as they say the Dr says it's frozen which is a bit ironic seeing as everything else is thawing out haha but it has been a right pain if you'll pardon the pun. so I will be back soon with something to share but before I go has anyone been to One Stop Craft Craft to check it out it's a card for a child & it's lovely hostess this week is Chrissie, the Sponsors are Robyn's Fetish. Hope you all have a good week-end.
