Wk 4 SCD GD PLUS ZETTIOLOGY SHOWCASE AND A THANK YOU.

Sadly my last Friday as GD over at 'Something Completely Different' their theme for this week being 'TIME'

So much can be covered with this challenge I chose 'bath time' using some fab stamps from 'Paper Forest Designs' based in Australia why not pop over they have a great SALE on at the moment.
The letters making up the words 'Bath Time' I borrowed from my crafty pal Chris' one of Artistic Stampers alphabet set.
I included Rangers Glossy Accents as water splashes and on the letters too.

Why not pop over and join in the challenge by clicking on the highlighted link above... Big thank you to SCD Team for inviting me to play along. xxx




These 4 fabtastic Zettie ATC's are those of Carol one of the SCD design team Carol joins us on this ATC challenge blog each month... January's challenge being Zettiology here is her take on the theme.

Zettiology always reminds me of the BT Advert from the '80 with Maureen Lipman a brilliant actress.

See the post below for the start of our show case with the Zettiology ATC's.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the lovely

ZETTI ATC SHOWCASE... AND LETTER FROM CLUB MEMEBER

The 4 fantastic Zettiology ATC's that set 34 ....YES 34 of us creating zetti ATC's what an amazing fabulous challenge from Hermine...THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Today we have the start of our Zetti show case.

Audrey below. .. see Audrey's blog link on the right of the page. x

Audrey thank you soooo much for taking part in Hermines Zettiology challenge your ATC's in real life are gawgus....All Zettiology ATC's are in the post including any Birthday Bash ATC's you may have won included in the same envie.

Feed back needed....am I getting this blog wrong?

Today I received a letter from Jenny a club member...this is how it went...

I feel I should write to let you know my thoughts on Febs challenge and the ATC club website,

The challenge was quite confusing... 'Cookies' to me means biscuits or small cakes but the challenge seemed to be doodles...random scribbles on note pads etc...

The website is confusing also whilst it may be nice to know what you and your family are up to I think this website should be only for the club.

Please make competitions from other sites separate.

I hope that you will not think my comments too negative.

best wishes from Jenny.

(ME) Have I got it wrong ???

This is a non profit making club I just enjoy receiving and swapping little pieces of ART from around the world scanning and uploading the ATC's to offer inspiration to our members followers and readers and in doing so spreading the word here in the UK re ATC's.

From time to time I may mention myself and family as part of our community spirit when I go over to other members I read what is written re their families and it's like we all know each other, I feel bringing us closer together even though we are sometimes 1000's of miles apart.

If you would prefer I Keep it just for ATC's please let me know.

The competitions mentioned must be the last 3 weeks where I have been delighted to be GD over at 'Something Completely Different' where I have posted my ATC on our club blog and then linked it to their challenge....I am unsure as to how I am meant to keep this challenge separate from the club blog.

If you feel I have got this blog all wrong then please could our club members let me know.

Thanks for reading.

3rd week GD at Something Completely Different

It's Friday and my 3rd week as GD over at Something Completely Different the theme for your ATC challenge is 'KEYS' set by the SCD design team.

Their examples of the challenge are on the SCD blog... follow the link high lighted above.

My KEY is one of CI's stamps I have used it for my 'strange' guys arms, and this fab, fun stamp is from 'Its a mans world' sheet designed by Joyce Howton over at Paper Forest Designs, the word 'strange' is from a Paperartsy plate.. the brick of a mobile...lol...sorry cannot remember ..lol... my mobile looks just like that, I have had it 6 yrs and '

it's only my second mobile in 11 years....lol... takes me that long to work out how to use them...the background is from a postcard which is dear to my heart.

If you would like to join in with these weeks challenge then create your keys ATC pop it on your blog leave a note in the comments over at SCD and we will come visit you.

There is a swap at the end of the 4 wk ATC slot which Carol is running, send in 1 or all 4 of the themed ATC's to be swapped... next week being the last ATC challenge on SCD. (NOT THE LAST SWAP IN OUR ATC CLUB...DONT GET MIXED UP, LOL.)

Have fun and a great weekend.

Guest ATC Designer over at SCD

Happy Friday and hey I am so excited as I have been asked to be this months Guest Designer over at Something Completely Different you will find them H E R E... When Carol asked me I thought... ME! ....Do you really mean me... well once I knew she meant it I jumped at the chance and I am thrilled to join SCD design team for the month of February taking on the challenge of creating 4 ATC's on a set theme 1 a week... well I love a challenge don't I.

Thanks for asking.


The challenge this week is MAD MARCH HARE well I have hundreds of stamps but not one single stamp to do with Alice, (Alice who the hell is Alice?..lol) and so as not to be beaten here is my take on the challenge....


'3 WISE MEN AND 1 MAD HARE'


Both the wise men and the hare stamp are those of Crafty Individuals.

Carol who runs SCD has also suggested and kindly agreed to run an ATC swap at the end of the month.

So the creative team on SCD hope lots of you will take part.

Join in the fun and upload your ATC onto your blog and we will come and Visit.

At the end of the month send Carol either 1,2,3 or ALL 4 ATC's with an S.A.E., (large letter stamp)and you will receive 1f or 1 back. A little piece of someone elses creativeness dropping through your door :)

Contact Carol via the email link on her blog and she'll send you the relevant info.

I was playing with 2 of my gorgeous Tanda female stamps last night and just thought that I would share them with you click on H E R E and visit Tanda see what other lovely goodies they have.

Ok and a very Happy Birthday DD Cheryl... we are having a girls PJ crafting party tonight with lots and lots of creative goodies and challenges going on and fab food, wine and lots of chocolate..don't you just wish you could be there. lol.
