| Love ATC MATERIALS: Love Art-C Artist Trading Card Kit, Tattered Angels glimmer glam- Pink Lipstick, Adirondack Acrylic paint dabber- gold, Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink- Gold Lame, EK Success 2" scallop heart punch, Crafter's Workshop 12x12 heart template, V alpha bead from Red Lead.com, Jolee's woodgrain alpha stickers |
I'm ok with it only because I found out I could use an acrylic paint dabber on a transparency and have it stick. But really these are all about how much I love shopping. Two Peas in a bucket (Remember the order the US Mail kidnapped? Well it finally appeared FOUR days late in the building lobby where THANKFULLY David's Uncle found it. TOLD YOU I had CRETINS as mailmen!!! Plus the PUSTULOUS GHOUL marked it as delivered!! I was home- he never rang the buzzer! EEEEVIL! )
Sorry- Two Peas in a Bucket has Art-C ATC kits on sale for 7.49 so I thought-might as well try it... I really like these kits. The paper elements could be higher in quality but they get so abused in the misting and gluing process they come out looking fine. The Tattered Angeles Glimmer Glam is not something I would normally buy but OOOPS! Joann's included one on my last order- FOR FREE! Not sure why... maybe to apologize for terrible customer service, an incredibly time consuming & creaky website that freezes with Safari and turn around time so slow Snails regularly pull up next to it and laugh.
Breathe, B.R.E.A.T.H.E- cute photo break...

Gorgeous ATC's! I am loving them both! Keep inspiring with your greatness!
ReplyDeletehee hee - you make me laugh! love the ATCs - they are both fantastic in their own way. but i'm guessing if you prefer the first one you really like your scrap style to be more... ordered? x
ReplyDeleteReally? Hmm- something to think about. I think one is more traditional- the other is all scrappy - now that I look at it again I like it more. By ordered you mean commercial? I can definitely be accused of shopping to much but I tend to like my stuff made with packaging- weird. I will ruminate! :)
ReplyDeleteI like them both, they are completely different styles...agreed that the first could be considered ordered. There's a whole lot of color and patterns going on the second one, which I love, and the border you made around the first one makes me love it, too. Great ATC's, and I too am partial to using the word "madness" in a lot of my blog posts. Such an effective word.
ReplyDeleteLOVE BOTH! I am floored by the awesomeness of the pic in the first one! Great idea!!!
