For those of you who do not know ...this is the lovely Nancy



Hello!
I am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums.

Pattern papers, rubber stamping, fabric, wood, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments.

I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.
Love Nancy x

Nancy, has been so kind as to sponsor this months challenge by offering her plate of 'SEASIDE' stamps.... you can find them H E R E and as always to be in with a chance to win them please pop over to the link above.... find the price of them and email me the correct answer....



Also please leave a comment saying you would like to be entered in the draw... the names will be put into a hat, vase, box whatever I have to hand and the winner picked out by Marley, my DGS.... he loves that job :).




Your chance of winning Nancy's gorgeous give away closes on Sunday 7th March Midnight UK.... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

Okay back to this months challenge on our ATC blog ....SWAP 'TIL YOU DROP and as spring is in the air...(in some parts of the world lol) alot of us will be thinking of our gardens... me for one as this will be my first year with a garden in a long time.... Nancy has chosen the theme ' Garden Fairies' for us and has created 5 gorgeous ATC's using digital images from 'Paper Whimsy'

















How would you like to take on this challenge and be in with a chance of owning one of Nancy's fab ATC's?



What do I have to do I hear some of you ask....




Easy Peasy...I cry...




Just create 5 ATC 's on the theme of ' Garden Fairies' ....send 4 into me to be swapped and keep the other one for your own collection.

A big thank you to Donna our Guest Designer for February's challenge 'Cookie Doodles'.




The winner of her fab Sketch will be announced a little later on on this post.... I will update the post.







An apology from Jenny.







Hello Chris,


I've just gone on to the ATC website and think I've been a bit ungracious. I'm not a fan of Blogs, but then I don't really understand them. So I thought I'd check on some of them.




ok I can see that it is fascinating to see what other people are up to and understand your comment about feeling closer to folk who join in the challenges.


I'll have to get my sons to get me started, But i'm last in the pecking order on the computer


I'll look forward to the March challenge.


Bye from Jenny.





Thank You Jenny x




Winners of my OWOH gifts yet to be announced sorry I am a bit behind on that one i have drawn it and its in a draft ready to post.







The winner of the 6 ATC's for the 30,000 Visits to our ATC blog is......





H E R E click on the... link is it you?





Will post a pic of them later when I have a new scanner... me thinks that scanning 34 sets of Zetti ATC's made it down tools.... lol.... I just bought 3 sets of new inks for it... okay they were compatibles ....put them in and CLUNK.... dead..... Hope that the company will exchange the inks for inks to fit my new one.....cos that's an awful lotta of rubber stamp money :( if they won't.





Another long post and if you are still with me...T H A N K Y O U :)





Hope that by now everyone has received their Zettie ATC's x




Chriss x...hope that I have not forgotten anything.

Hello Chriss
thank you so much for the honor of being guest designer...I will try my best to keep up with what the lovely ladies create! :) About to head off to peel layers of wallpaper at the new place (discovered it was not one, or two...but three layers in the kitchen)...needless to say I am not a happy camper right now! :) Happy March!

I would love to be included in the stamp draw and also intend to begin participating in the ATC swaps as soon as I'm recovered from some cervical spinal surgery.

I'm email you the cost that I found as per the guidelines.

I got my FABULOUS Zetti Atcs today! Woopee!
I'm also thrilled to find another fantastic and very talented artist host this month, Nancy. Double Woopee!

My Zettis haven't yet arrived but I am watching for the postie very carefully and will tell you when I have trapped (Oops! I mean seen) him with my Zetti parcel. I would love to be in the draw for the stamp sheet (they are gorgeous) and also to join in on the Garden Fairies swap. What beautiful ATCS, Nancy! Jenny, that was most gracious of you to post your comment. Don't be a stranger :) Chriss, you have done another fantastic job hope you get your clunky inks sorted and congratulations on the success of Swap Till You Drop! {{{Hugs}}}

It was very gracious of Jenny to offer up her explanation. What she needs now is her very own laptop so she can get into blogging mode and pop on for a gossip now and then!
Meanwhile, many thanks for the fantastic Zetti ATCs - love every one of them. xxx
