Fashion challenge

Welcome to the start of Novembers challenge 'Fashion' ATC's.

Our first 2 are part of the collection sent in by Carol, does anyone match either of these 2 shapes?

I wish I was the lollypop shape with the pear shape boobs...lol...those long legs and being able to buy a bra of the peg so to speak...no embarressing moments being measured in the nudepretenting not to be bothered by it... no more popping out of the top... no straps digging in...ouch! does anyone else have the same problems?

My dream to be back to a 36B.

Thanks Carol.

Sheila Jordon, The last of October's ATC's

Sorry a day late in showing you the last of the Breast cancer awareness ATC's... I was soooo busy cleaning the house and organising my craft stash
My increased medication gave me sooo much energy over this last 5 days ....I just had to strike whilst the iron was hot...it could be cold again tomorrow.. the first time cleaning got in the way of crafting..lol... just hope it doesn't happen too often.

Well all nice and tidy here but not for long Chris is landing in about 1 hour and we will wreck the place again.

These gorgeous ATC's with wonderful gold and silver embossing belong to Sheila Jordon of Reading... thank you Sheila.

In the next couple of days I will post the start of the Fashion ATC's for you.

Still time to enter the Crafty Individual ATC challenge see post below for more info.

Also still time to enter this months challenge... make 5 ATC's recycling parts of an old CALENDAR into your ATC. Keep one for your own collection and send 4 into me for swaps with the club.

Now for my confession.... I have had 3 chocolate coated biscuits.... and do you know I really didnt enjoy them that much... the first bite was yummy and then...nothing to write home about now I think about it.
However I have lost 4lb so far.... not much but at least it is going in the right direction...lol.

Talk Soon.
thanks to everyone who took part in the BCA week challenge and thank you to everyone who have left comments on the ATC's.
Pleased to hear Jaqi is now on the mend and has today returned to work.

Check out these gorgeous Pink ATC's from Jaqi...
Jaqi tells us.....

The images are from Crafty Individuals they are the A4 sheets they sell , the rubber stamps are from crafty Individuals too, they were embossed with pearlised embossing powder from Crafty Corner.

The breast cancer pink ribbon is a die from cutting edge crafts for the cuttlebug.
By the way the franked postage stamps are of Paris, London, Berlin, Rome New York.... The idea is that no matter where you are in the world , BREAST CANCER CAN EFFECT

Thank you Jaqi.get well soon xx

Denise's pink ATC's

2 weeks ago I tried scanning these 4 ATC's sent to us from Denise in SAfrica

However the scanning was not in the least bit kind to them and so today I have played around with my Christmas pressie ... a new camera... ( thank you Chris for teaching me how to use it...some of it I forgot and needed to get the instruction manual out again) any way I am pleased with the results although I know there is so much more to learn...

The pics do give you an Idea as to how much detail there is.

why not pop over and visit Denise in SA just click on HERE.

Thank you Denise. x

For anyone waiting for ATC's and packs... appologies to you... SORRY they will be on the way to you on Monday morning.

I also want to mention that Jaqi who has been looking after our ATC Queen Dottie has been ill since before Christmas and had to take to her bed as it knocked her off her feet...So pleased Jaqi that you are on the mend. Take Care

thank you all Chriss x

My Breast cancer awareness Pink ATC's

Here are my 'PINK' ATC's for BCA month.

For number's 1 and 4 I used a fabulous pearl pink cardstock which I received from Solance over at Sparkle Dreams click on HERE and see what other lovely goodies she has.

On the second and 3rd one I was playing with paints and gesso to get a textured background.... you will get a better look by clicking on the pictures.

Number 4 'Go bra less' is for the 2 people in my life.... one being my mum at the age of 72 and another a friend ... both lost their breast 5 years ago and despite everything they kept their fantastic SOH throughout the treatment and operation. I am proud of them both.

Did anyone give up anything for their New Years resolution...I have given up Chocolate for the next 3 month!!!! Can I do it????

How many of you used the wrappers from 'Quality Street' and 'Lucky Number's' chocolates at Christmas time to watch the 'Black n White TV' in colour... how funny was that...Coronation Street's Elsie Tanner in wonderful colours.... WHATEVER happened to 'Lucky Numbers' Chocolates.

Hopefully I can keep away from the chocolate as I put too much weight on in the last 7 months and NEED to get it off.... I promise to tell you if I fail on the chocolate front..lol.
