JAMS

I used to be in a Yahoo Group, ATC World.  I guess I am still in their JAMS database.  I don't recall JAMS stand for...sorry.  The way it works is anyone interested in doing JAMS makes 3 base cards.  They send all 3 to someone in the database.  That person adds an image and mails them off to a third person, who embellishes them, keeps one and then mails them to the other 2 people.  Although I am not part of the group any more, I wanted to follow through on them....so I completed them.

Here is the finished cards.
I added the red butterfly and the crocheted flower.  I added Cotton Candy Stickles to the center of the flowers.

All that Stickles...Cotton Candy



Fat Page...Flowers

I love fat pages.  I found a GREAT challenge site that is all about the Fat Pages....Fat-tastic Tuesday.  They have a new challenge every 2 weeks.  Fat pages are little works of art...that are 4" x 4".

This fortnight (I love that word!!) its about May flowers and there is a sketch.

Here is the sketch...









I turned it on its side...and came up with this....







The flower and the butterfly are from Floppy Latte.  The butterfly by itself is part of an image from Delicious Doodles...It was part of a frame with a butterfly.  I added some American Craft Glitter Tape and some Cotton Candy Stickles.  The butterflies have glue dots and are up off the paper a little. 

This fat page is now the back of the one I did last week.  I have added a piece of paper to the side so I can punch holes in it so I can bind them together.  The opposite side has not been glued, so I can put the tag in between the pages so I have a reference as to what I made.

I love From the Heart Stamps 
and every week they do a sketch challenge.
Here is this week's sketch.

Here is what I did with the sketch.

The image is Let's be Neighbors from
From the Heart.
The paper is from my stash.
The 2 papers looked like they would go together great 
but when I put it together they were to similar in color
and you couldn't see where one paper ended and the next started.
So I chalked the edges of the flowered paper and the image.
I added some Stickles to the corners of the image...it was the perfect color.

From the Heart....I Heart Sketches


What a long week.  My laptop's motherboard went.  So I am (im)patiently waiting for tax return so I can get a new laptop.  So now I am using hubby's laptop (my old one) and boy did he have it messed up.  I had to reformat the hard drive.  Only to find out that it hubby's laptop was originally Windows Vista. Memory goes when you get older.  I purchased this laptop just as Windows 7 was coming out and they mailed me a disc for it.  Now if I can only find the disc.  In the meantime I feel like I have been in Computer Hell.  It is running much better now that I have reformatted.  I have my new one picked out...just waiting.

Oh so on to this week's I Heart Sketches.  
Here is this week's sketch...

And here is what I did with it...
I used From the Heart's Meet Anneke.
Everything but her hair is colored with Copic Markers.
This is my first attempt with skin...after using a tutorial.  There are 4 different markers used.
The hair is done with Prismacolor Pencils.  
 The paper is from Micheal's open stock.   
I used Glitter Tape, ribbon and lace from my stash.
The images were matted, and than I added Icicle Stickles.
