OK, I finally took pictures of the three ATC's I made for recent swaps. This first one was created using one of the new Stampin' Up Sellabration sets called So Very. It was somewhat difficult to come up with a design to incorporate as many of the words from the set as possible. Although it turned out ok, it's not one of my favorite creations.
I really like these two ATC's. The first one is for the January swap which is entitled "Sparkle, Glitter and Shine." This was inspired by the Christmas card I made for my niece, Amanda. The second one is for the February swap entitled "Love & Hearts." I used my new library pocket punch to hold the little tag. I considered using different colors but then finally decided to use traditional valentine colors.
I had intended to post an entry this past weekend but I never got around to it. Friday night, Bill and I ate dinner at Morgan Street Brewery. They currently have a special beer called Decades in celebration of their 10th anniversary. I had it last time we were there too! Saturday night, we ate at Frederico's with my parents, sister, brother-in-law and the kids. The food was wonderful...delicious arancini and the best chicken spedini I've ever eaten!
