UP AND RUNNING AGAIN

BIG HELLO,
This is a very quick post as I just want you to know I have not left the country....once again my PC crashed on me but I was unable to get it fixed as my son was on holiday...HOW DARE HE IN MY HOUR OF NEED...LOL.We now know the problem, a part of my Acer laptop does not like AVG so every new update was causing it to crash... don't know if anyone else has had the same probs with an Acer and AVG.
All ATC's for metal have now been scanned and will be out to you in the next couple of days along with the sewing ones...SORRY FOR THE DELAY.
Thank you to those enquiring about the ATC challenge for July...we are already well into July and understand if you cant take on this months challenge however it will be lovely if you could.
The challenge is to use a playing card as your background .... using inks, paper, stamping infact anything you like as long as we are able to still see that you have used a playing card.... a great deal of fun ...I will update you just as soon as I have done some examples for you...be back soon.
Thanx to everyone who took on the ''metal'' challenge.

See below for Playing Card Backgrounds examples

Junes challenge and a little toot.

Here we are half way through 2009...frightening isn't it.... 6 months to Christmas... Don't!! I hear you cry.

And so for our June ATC challenge.... I thought that we could try using 'METAL' in some form or another...

Below are some examples using 'METAL'

Do you remember this 1st one which Karen from Scrapz created for Dotties Fashion show last year...I still laugh at it now...it is sooo funny.

Next one is one that I made for Linda of ABAA some time ago.

The next 3 I have created for this months challenge the 1st 2 are using gold metal embossing powder on the background and Lisa's Altered Art images ...couldn't resist them....

And a little toot.... I am proud to have been accepted on the LAA design team as I just love her images and you should see the new sheets she launched a few days ago they are fabulous...I LOVE EM!

This next little guy is scrummy he reminds me of Leigh (DS2) when he was a baby.

The background has been cut from metal on a roll and then put through my Big Shot inside of a cuttlebug folder I then coloured it with alcohol inks which I bought from Karen at Scraps.

Hope that you enjoy this months challenge and you have been inspired with the examples here.

Another wonderful day of SUNSHINE hope that you all have the feel good factor today.

Take care and will be posting the others in the ABCDE challenge soon along with the Friends ATC's which I have now recovered for my sick 'puter'

Have a great day and WELCOME to our NEW FOLLOWERS...If anyone wishes to join in with our swaps then please contact me at chrissylamata@live.co.uk
