I have finished my art squares and thoght you might like to see them, like pretty maids all in a row! I loved this trade and Sara is a genious! I think lots of other groups are picking up on them on blogs and going to start doing them, I have considered it for my group but am holding off until I am less square eyed!
Next are some ATC's for FiberATC for a trade based on travel. I chose train tracks! I am calling them leaves on the line - a big problem to rail travel in the UK. I painted the background cotton, then stencilled through sequin waste for the gravel on the tracks. I then used a stamp i made and the side of some thick card to print the tracks. The FME over cotton backed interlining, for a quilty feel. Then I added some leaves, some are charms some are sequin type and the last are glue gun with embossing powder. I really like how these have turned out.
And finally, as they say on the news! The last thing in the mail today was my card from Judy Scott for a trade on textile challnges, the felt melt challenge. Now not only was this my total favourite card but look at the way Judy has presented it in a little bag with a fabric tag and lovely threads. I could see it was from Judy and I fell on the envelope like a child on xmas morning. To my delight I found a darling little book in the envelope too! All hand made and stamped with "thread your day with smiles and laughter! To say I love it is an understatment! Judy's is off in the post tomorrow and hopefully my offering wil not be a disappointment to her.
What a day! and I didn't mention the kids smashing work either! Happy pancake day my day of JOY!!!!!
