Looks can be very deceiving...lol I just enjoyed doing these 5 SEW much...the Images are from Lisa'e Altered Art. Chriss x

Would you just take a look at these from Chris she not only did her sewing but she handmade the felt background....
She also transferred LAA images onto white cotton fabric...and wait for it... the only cotton fabric I had were some white pillow cases...yes, you have guessed it I let her use one of them... Now that's friends for you... but I think I was the lucky one as she showed me step by step how to achieve the transfers.
Thanx Chris x

I love this Stamp that Arty Jen has used on these fab ATC's and the different papers along with the man himself Tim Holtz inks on the tissue paper and buttons.

Thanks Arty Jen. x

Tranquility 'ATC Club' challenge #5

Hello to everyone,

More from our Tranquility ATC challenge.

These two ATC's we are showing today have been created by Nicola (enjay) the one on the right she has called 'Serene Tranquility' and it's easy to see why, isn't she just beautiful... love her to bits x


Nicola's tranquility ATC on the left is called 'Tranquil shores 1'.
She has built up the art work and stamped the fern giving a tropical feel
I love the way she embossed the passport it really does look the business.
Bet you are all thinking about your summer hols for this year...I have been asked over to Dubai to spend mine with my lovely friend Denise.. lets hope the bank manager loves me enough to let me go.. as it would be rude not to after being invited...dont you agree??? :)))). Hi Denise xx, just telling everyone where I hope to be this year... crafting in Dubai amongst other things of course.
Thanx goes to Nichola for taking on the challenge we here at 'The Artist Trading Club' set. We will be showing 2 more of Nichola's 'Tranquility' ATC swaps later in the month.
Thank you for reading.
Dottie and I have been busy making back grounds for ATC's and its been one of those days when we really did not achieve anything to talk about.
Hopefully we will get more done tonight as Chris my blogging and crafting buddy is on her way over.

Luv Dottie x & Chriss x
