Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you! Last week, during WOYWW 10, I shared that I was participating in an ATC Girly Swap and showed you the items I needed to incorporate into my ATCs. Today, I am sharing the fruit of my labor. I created a record 18 cards from my collage package – way more than […]
Val’s Name ATC
When you were young, did you look forward to giving and receivng Valentine’s Day cards from your classmates? At school, we used to decorate lunch bags and tape them to the sides of our desks to collect cards in! On Valentine’s Day, we would drop cards in our classmate’s bags when they weren’t around so that everyone […]

Kathy’s Name ATC
It’s time to share my first Name ATC of 2010! This card was designed for my friend Kathy at ATCs R Us. As many of you know, I do my best to customize each card based on my impressions of the recipient. I’ve been reading Kathy’s blog, Inkin’ It Up, for quite some time now, and […]
Christina’s Name ATC
Today’s project was created for a very special lady – blog follower Christina. I’d been planning on designing a house-shaped ATC for Christina for quite some time, so I was very excited when December rolled around and I finally had a chance to sit down and work on Christina’s ATC! I knew I wanted her ATC […]
Georgia’s Name ATC
In the midst of the holiday hoopla, it seems like forever since I’ve posted a Name ATC, so today I thought I’d share Georgia’s card with you! I reflected on a theme for Georgia’s ATC for quite some time before I sat down to make it. First, I considered using “Georgia On My Mind” as the theme for […]
Believe
I have always loved the color blue. I love everything about it – its quietness, its serenity, its tranquility. Blue is freedom and expansiveness – it is sky and sea. Blue is a warm blanket that wraps itself around us and brings peace and comfort to frazzled lives. Blue speaks the language of our spirit. Last December, I made […]
Give Thanks
It’s hard to believe that in just a few days, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving here in the U.S. Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love setting aside a special day to thank God for our many blessings – to feast with family and friends -to reflect upon what is important in life. As each year […]
Jessie’s Mae’s ATC
Today’s ATC is the fourth card I’ve completed for the 10-month ATC Names Swap I’m participating in. If you’d like more information about this series, see Dawn’s Name ATC. Jessie Mae provided me with a wonderful list of Favorites from which to draw inspiration for her card. I knew that I wanted to use her favorite color, […]
House of Treasure

You can view the first card in the series by clicking on House of Dreams, House of Hope. Although the design elements used in […]
Ginger The Glitter Giraffe
Today’s ATC features Ginger, the Glitter Giraffe – a glitzy creature roaming through the Exotic Jungle of my imagination – in a land first introduced by Wendilee, who chose Exotic Jungle as her theme for a recent Winner Take All swap! I discovered Ginger while on Expedition – specifically, while digging through a CTMH Level 2 Expedition Paper […]
