Sorry

Hi,
Just a note to say I am sorry I am unable to post any ATC's at the moment ...I have been without my PC since Sunday...
Windows tells me I have a corrupted file and that they are fixing it...that was on Sunday and its still running and correcting files???????
Thinking this could be a bug but really hope not.

As soon as I'm back on my own PC I will catch up with posting.

Jaqi's Calendar ATC's

Hi, we have another set of wonderful recycled calendar ATC's and this time they are from Jaqi.

The stamps I think are from Karen at Scrapz...would you just confirm that for us Jaqi by leaving a comment.

The black n white images work so well with stamps and I am pleased to say that I am lucky to own one of them.

It's great just how everyone has interpreted the theme so differently :))

Thank you Jaqi.

I hope that you are all having a good weekend...more ATC's on Monday.

luv Chriss x

P.S. Dont forget Aprils challenge, see April 1st post

and I will let you into a little secret...May '09 ATC theme is 'SEWING'.... I did mine last night....hey I am ahead for once.

Still waiting for 1 set of ABCDE ATC's to arrive to be able to do this months swap...they should be with us soon.

Debbie's idea of a diet...yum yum

Debbie has joined us for the first time in a very long time her life was soooo busy....due to change she has found time to craft and play with papers once again...

Welcome back Debbie.

Debbie's idea of using an old Calendar is one I am in love with...well the iet side of it...lol...

Chocolate and cup cakes on certain days of the week for the whole of the year...how good does that sound.

Hope everyone gets to enjoy at least 1 Easter egg this weekend.

Thanks Debbie for your ATC's... AND hope that you are enjoying your Hols in Jamaica....seee you soon.

Ladies Day at Royal Ascot

Although it was the Grand National yesterday Chris has a winner with her ladies at Royal Ascot


Very nicely put together for her recycled calendar ATC's.

The images are from Cens Loft over HERE.

Chris used the cuttlebug swiss dot embossing folder on the white cardstock

she doesnt have a cuttlebug but it works just as good through the Big Shot.

As you can see Chris gave them a bit of sparkle by using an extra fine body shimmer dust... yes BODY shimmer dust.... adding PVA glue to the area she wanted it to adhere to.

Thanx for sharing that tip with us Chris.
Hope that you have all had a great weekend.

The Gallifrey Gallery.... recycled calendar

This "Weeping Angel" is so far from graceful. All I'm going to say is "Don't Blink!"

I WISH this was mine! He is sooooooooo dreamy. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" he is leaving :'( No more David Tenant!

The Sontarens are clones but I don't think any one could clone this spectacular ATC. Sontar-ha!


Very Clockwork Creepy. Even Renette (Madame De Pompadour) should have called the doctor earlier.

(Gallifrey= The Doctor's home planet)

WOW.... Carol you completely regenerated this old calendar

into somthing thats so spectacular it could of been off "The (now, not so)Lost Moon Of Poosh"

Love Chriss's DGD1 biggest DW fan EVER (exept for maybe Carol) Sontar-ha!

Thanks Jordie for blogging and commenting on Carols Dr Who ATC's...I could not have done it better myself.

Ok, Aprils ATC challenge is to use Pages from a Telephone directory on your ATC's

Chriss' Fashions and post update

Today we bring you my fashion collection all the way from... 'NOT' so sunny Eaglescliffe in the NEast.

These ATC's are made up of several stamps and papers.

The lovely letter and postal stamps are from Jean and Malcolm at 'Crafty Individuals' HERE it is the most fantastic background stamp.... I think I have told you before it is one of my faves.... no appologies for telling you again...lol... You really need to buy it and you will know just what I mean, I use it on soo much... it's sooo versatile.
These gorgeous 20's Models are from 'The Artistic Stamper' which I was lucky enough to win over at the Arty Girlz blog last year, these girls know how to strut their stuff... the models that is not Julie and Crissi...lol

Although I have heard that Julie knows how to work that camera....so come on work it baby work it... lol.

The striking mannequin is part of a plate designed by Lost Coast Designs bought from Karen at Scrapz over HERE.

And of course no designer would be worth their salt without a bit of bling.

Hope you like them as much as I enjoyed doing these.

I was at a meeting today which I wasn't looking forward to attending however Thanks to the lovely Heather It turned out to be easier than I imagined it would be....Thank you Heather.

Still more of our Fashion ATC's to come.

Paula's Fashion Swatches/March ATC challenge

UP DATE.... Tomorrow takes us already into the 3rd month of 2009...how did this happen?? did anyone see where the weeks went to??

Now for the March 2009 ATC challenge.....
We would love for you to join us in creating 5 ATC's sending 4 to me to be swapped and keeping one for your own collection.
As always they can either be all the same OR each one different... your choice, to reach me by 31st March.

The challenge is to use the letters A B C D E..... either all 5 letters on one ATC as I have done for my background or one single letter used on one ATC at the start of the word Angel....see 2 of my examples below.

Should you wish to join in the fun and receive 4 swaps from our ATC club members and friends drop me an email to get more information on the March challenge.

see side panel.... keeping you up to date... and please don't forget the Fashion swaps below.

For the 2009 'Fashions' our designer Paula has put together 4 fabulous Colour swatches for you to receive,
This 1st one reminds me of 'summer fruits' a tasty collection indeed yummy!

The 3rd has me thinking of holidays in Scotland with the beautiful wild heathers which dress the countryside.

If you look closely you will see Paula has chosen to embossed each ATC with a fashion dress... the scanner does not do these fab ATC's justice and if you were lucky enough to receive one in your swaps then you will know what I mean as IRL they are gorgeous.

Thanks to Paula... all the way from Brunei

Our March ATC challenge.... will be announced over the weekend on this post.

Have a great weekend.
