Handcrafted Christmas Cards

A couple of Christmas cards I made for family and friends.

Avocado Fries

So i found this recipe for making fries out of avocados.....the process was a bit tedious and messy, but they did turn out like fries.  Unfortuantely, not worth all the work.  They lost all of their "green" flavor and really were quite bland.  Can't imagine what I did wrong.

Comfort Food

So it was a cool day on Thursday, what is better than a little comfort food.  Chicken soup seemed to fit that need perfectly.  It was delish!

Christmas Card Exchange

This is the Christmas card I made for this swap.  Mailed to MI this morning

Artist's Choice ATCs

This swap was to make WHATEVER you wanted to.  This is what I came up with.  They are being mailed to Spokane, WA.

Inchies

Six little inchies to be swapped for six.  These are so much fun, but I gotta admit I kinda get a headache when making them.  Just imagine a 1"x1" canvas.  Oy vey!!!  On their way to Allentown, PA this afternoon.  I will not have a pic of the returns from this swap, as the gal who swapped with me only sent me some stickers, not even creating any artwork.  Very, very disappointed.

"Games" ATC Swap

 

December 8, 2011 - These are the returns from the "Games" ATC swap.  Great work by all of the artists.

Christmas ATC

This swap is 5/5 and was basically making Christmas ATCs.  These cards are being mailed to  Florida.

 These are the returns from the Christmas ATC swap. 

Love Avocado - Yummy

Soon to become guacamole!

Time for a Haircut

The grasses in my yard are HUGE.  Actually had to have my husband use a chainsaw to cut them down.  What a clean-up project that was.

The End

 Red Hot Pokers are pretty darn hefty also.

Early Morning Snack

Can you see those little deer?

Fornasetti ATC Swap

Piero Fornasetti was an Italian painter, sculptor, interior decorator and engraver.  Today it is most common to see Fornasetti's style in fashion and room accessories such as scarfs, ties, lamps, furniture, china plates and tables.  There are a series of rubber stamps showcasing Fornasetti, so this swap was to use those to create 3 ATCs.

These are the Fornesetti returns I received.  One of the best swaps ever.  Each artist did such an excellent job.  Doing a happy dance!

Stamped ATC Swap

 

This swap was to create 3 ATCs using rubber stamps, embellishments and/or stickers.  So I stamped the background, added a little color with chalks and then I added the flower embellishment.  This swap is for a group I have never traded with and I am a little intimidated because this group does a lot of drawing and painting and little stamping.....gulp!

Told you I was a little nervous about swapping with this group.  Just take a look at the returns, excellent stuff here.  Very delighted to get this type of artwork.  Not so sure the artists that got my cards are happy!
