New JAM to Work On

Got this JAM in the mail today.  Not sure when I will add my part to this project, but you can be sure it will be lovely.

October 31, 2011 - My part is finished.  As you can see, I added some punched flowers and a border.  The cards will now be mailed to Street, MD.

I Hate Fall Corn Harvest

So every fall the farmer has to harvest the corn crop across the street from our house.  It totally makes a mess in my yard which I am just a tad anal about keeping neat and clean. 

Monochromatic ATCs

 

Monochromatic means the entire card is all the same color in several shades.  These are being mailed to TN.

 Returns from this swap.

Can I Have This Dance????

New swap being mailed to VA.  Funny thing, I finished making these cards and then I reread the instructions and I was suppose to make four.  So, I put together one more card less intense and am sending that along also.  All of the coloring was just a bit much!

Couple of New JAMS

My part is now done with this JAM.  I added a stamped strip down the middle on which I added some glitter.  Then on the one side I added a little piece of purple mesh just because!!!  The cards will now be mailed to AZ for one more artist to add something to it.   Funny thing about this JAM, I went out of town for a few days and totally didn't mail the card so it ended up back in the mailbox here in Millersburg, now leaving town 10/26.

 I will be the second artist to work on the above JAM.

Well I finished the ATC by stamping the background stripe and image.  I then put some nail polish on the small finding and glued it in place.  Tah Dah!  On its way to NM.

On this one I will finish the project.

Latest JAM Received

This JAM was received from Falls Church, VA.  I forgot to scan it before I worked on it.  The ATC was the polka dot background.  I proceeded to add the punched out colored designs.  Now it will be mailed to the last artist who will finish up the design - Pittburgh, PA.

Anything Orange Swap

This swap is going to Boulder Creek, CA today.  I not only made "anything" orange, I made the entire ATC orange.  Not quite sure why the background scanned in gold.  It is actually orange.

 These are the returns from the orange swap.  Pretty darn nice.

Butterfly Swap

This is a "Butterflies all types Swap".  You make three and get three in return.  They are being sent to Fortuna, CA today.

They Show up in the Oddest Places

Fall Ball Gown Project

This project was to make a Fall Ball Gown using a specific template.  Since I am a paper crafter, mine was basically stamping and paper with some ribbon and bling to fancy it up.  The bodice is all teeny tiny beads and the brown inset is brown cardstock sprayed with glitter and a gold marble spray.

JAM Received from New Mexico

I received the above JAM and I was the third artist to work on the ATC.  You can compare the images to see what I added.  Mainly it was the word bubble, jewel on genie's hat, and flowers I punched and applied.  Turned out pretty darn nice.

Remember that Clothespin Bag

It's working...................................

Fall Foliage and Flowers

Can You See It

A faint rainbow after some rain last week.

I Need a New Clothespin Bag

Sooooooo broke.  Gotta come up with something new!

 You can turn a toddlers shirt into a bag.

Sew a couple of seams on top to help hold the hanger in place.

And a seam on the bottom.  The end, a new clothespin bag.  Excellent!

Those Precious Pieces of Paper Swap

These are the returns from the swap.  Very nice!

This swap is 3/3 and will be sent to Florida.  I kinda aimed for a quilt effect.  To accomplish this easily, I simply ran the base card through my Xyron machine to make the entire surface sticky.  Worked really well.
