First Time...ATC

Ive never made an Artist Trading Card (ATC) before, in fact I didn't even know what one was till about 12 months ago, didn't even understand the hype...well I am HOOKED! - and its only the first month!!!

This month at Fancy That we started an ATC group, and this Friday will be our first swap. Im so excited and caint wait to see everyones cards!
The theme for this month was MUSIC. and for most of you that know me, music is a HUGE part of my life, ive been known to be called the walking Juke Box, I always know a good song for every moment, im sure i could make an awesome soundtrack to my day :)

so here is my first ever ATC

Music is the Heart of the Soul

I was sooo happy with how this ATC came together...so here is the run down on what I used and so on...

starting from the out and in...

Black Co-ordinations cardstock

Hot Pink cardstock

Kaiser paper 'Dreamy' from the 'Love Notes' collection - inked the edges with pink ink

I then heat embossed with black embossing ink this beautiful heart from the 'Love Notes' collection this was done on

white pearl cardstock and then glimmer misted lightly with some pink taffy.

I stamped the words Music and Soul with some Delish stamps I had and then printed out the other tiny words to finish off the 9 ATCs...

Just Like Daddy

 Took Fletcher to see his Daddy Working this week at Mt Ommaney. DT has been doing stuff for Radio Kid in conjunction with River 94.9.

Here are some pics of Fletch and DT doing Radio Kid. (basicly its a chance for the kids to have a go at being an announcer for radio, they even get a copy of themselves on cd to take home with them)

Its so cute to see Fletch doing this radio stuff, just like his Daddy. Fletch has even done some radio commercials for River 94.9. He says he is going to sue the money he makes for the commercials to buy an IPad 2...gotta love it!!

Scrap Lounge September Challenge

Over at Scrap Lounge this month is a wonderful Sketch  Challenge by Danie ...

And here is my take on the Sketch....

This is a Pic of Fletchy and I for his first Christmas. I cant believe how young I look (i was 24)

The papers I used are Kaiser Craft Miss Nelly. From the 61/2 x 61/2 paper pad - I love using these small pads to create a 12x12 layout.

The white flowers and leaves are Green Tara...I also made the red roses using a sizzix die...AWESOME!

The word Hugs is a chipboard I had lying around from Scrapware.

This was my first time over at Scrap Lounge and i LOVE it!!! some fantastic work by ladies, great inspiration!

Hope you have all been having a great week...I have missed being at my shop but I know my boys have loved spending time with their Mummy.

Here is Matthew Morrison (from GLEE) and one of his newish singles Summer Rain

Just head on over to her blog and follow the directions and you could be in the running to win this AWESOME prize pack :)

White With 1 - September

The White with 1 challenge this month is to use White + Pale Pink + Journaling on the photo

Below is what I came up with for a layout.

Fletcher LOVES the colour Pink, so i thought it was only appropriate to scrap a layout of him and something pink!

 Close up of the Journaling on the photo and below. I used some small letter stickers to journal with as I'm too shaky at the moment to write on anything.

 Another close up of just the journaling on the photo.

 The title is 'He Loves Pink' I used some cursive letter sticker for the beginning of the title, and then to create the 'pink' i placed large chipboard letters onto the paper and sprayed a mixture i made of water and hot pink paint. It's not over powering, but i am very happy with how it turned out.

Here is a close up of the papers and how I placed them on the layout, the photos I have uploaded don't show ALL the detail I have done on this layout (which is a shame)

You may not be able to see it but there is a smear of white paint under where the photo is laying. the pink paper as the background was juts a little too much so by adding the white it dulled it down.

And now for a song...

Pink's You and Ur Hand, luv this song :)
