I feel a sudden need to have a bowl full of scrappy balls!
What a wonderful mixed bag of A-road goods!

@megwell and I agreed to swap three ATCs
They arrived in a beautiful handmade envelope
For my bodies of water theme, “Niagara Falls” she dressed up a postcard from @Cindy
Found poetry, “Duckling of the Runes”
Song Lyrics, “Any way the wind blows”
They all have such great detail and texture! Thank you @megwell I love them!!!
I love me some ATCs, and those are way cool! Clever idea to doctor up a postcard. Hmmm…
I’m so glad you like them!! I’m so used to doing ATCs on the shorter turnaround of the ongoing swap that it was a really cool process to linger with these for a bit.
@Cindy, it’s always fun for me to be able to incorporate something from another LCer in a swap project. Thanks for knowing that after you sent, I’d have this idea and sending a perfect card for it .
Also, credit for the greeting card goes to @geekgirl .
HEY EV-ERY-BODY! It’s time to vote in the Spring Is In The Air Challenge! Get on over there before the poll closes on March 27, 2023!
love everything… but i def love. love. LOVE. that niagara falls postcard and that rabbit pic especially…the black outlining just makes it pop!!
everyone here just makes the most amazing stuff!!! these galleries never disappoint!!!
So many cool things! Those monsters are so darn cute, the scrappy ball is to die for, and duckling of the runes just makes me giggle.
I received from @Juju!
She sent me her package in this cute watermelon wrap. I was tickled to see it when my son brought in the mail. This is the back side.
I opened it to find…
Inside the envelope was a nice letter and…
Inside the even tinier package are the two crafted items. You all might have guessed that I love Halloween so…
Look at these hanging decorations! Or they could be necklaces or even gigantic earrings (the thought did cross my mind). They are made out of some heavy duty… chip board? Gorgeously painted gold underneath then collaged. I love Juju’s assemblies. Look at those beads hanging from the bottom! So sparkly🤩 I have a million ideas of where to place them, but for now they’ll absolutely have to be hung in my craft room. Or maybe the library. WE’LL SEE.
Thank you, Juju, for asking me to be your partner! We should totally team up again
What a fun idea! I love Halloween, so seeing those now is really fun! I love the mix of materials used in both of them!
Oh, I love the Halloween theme amd the kitties are the cutest.
Love the two-tone bead on the spider one, and all the other little dangly bits. The lettering on that first one is cool; did you do that by hand, @juju?
I received my amazing ATCs from @Reinikka!
For my 2023 word of the year:
InspiroBot quotation:
Found poetry:
Why is my hand in that photo? Because the poem flips out to reveal a clock with movable hands!
And the handmade card they came in:
Thanks so much, Reinikka!!! Thrilled to have been your partner for this swap!
Beautiful paper crafting. I especially like the mushrooms.
Love the clock!
Those ATCs are super cool! It looks like the butterflies on the first one are made of fabric. (?)
Love the multicolor shading on the mushrooms. And the clock one is so creative! I like how the text flips out to reveal the clock. All three cards have such an artistic, mixed media look.
Yay!! I’m so happy you like them!! And yes, I’d love to team up again!
@endymion thank you! No i actually cut those out of the napkin i took the raven from and placed it the. I wish i could write like that!
Yes I was going to use stickers and wanted to try something I saw online somewhere with stickers and fabric… but then I re-found this butterfly fabric in my stash and decided to try making fabric stickers with it. I was pleasantly surprised with the result.
The clock was a result of the sendouts being extended with the extra time I decided to make the card a little extra.
I’m glad you like them @megwell
You say that now, but you haven’t seen what I’ve sent you yet!
