ATC for the Teacher

This ATC is for the talented Mary Green who put a lot of time and effort into making Your Vintage Gluebook class a huge success.

I lined the sleeve for the ATC with a page from a vintage German novel. The paper for the sleeve is a copy of an endpaper from an old book.

Using a nestability die, I cut a window to spotlight the image on the card.

I then slipped the ATC and its sleeve into a protective plastic sleeve and added an identification band to make sure Mary knows it is for her.

ATC Swap

I made these ATCs for a swap with members of the Your Vintage Gluebook class.

The main image is from Land of Nod Studio's.

ATC Sampler

Here is a sampler of a few of the ATCs that I will be swapping on the cruise. They are now all sleeved and packed and ready to go. Only 1 week before sailing! Pam, Louise and I are excited!!

ATCs for Tim and Mario

WANTED
Arizona Mario and "Ranger" Holtz
Last seen transporting large number of women and supplies to Mexico by boat.

These are the ATCs that I made to give to Tim and Mario on the cruise. The "mug" shots are from a poster that Melody at the Stamp Asylum (Plano, TX) made when Tim and Mario were in town for classes this summer. You may have seen it posted on Tim's blog (here). She kindly gave me permission to use them. Thanks, Melody!

Wednesday Stamper-Open Theme

As most of you already know my friends Louise and Pam and I are busily making ATCs to take for trading on the Tim Holtz Art Cruise coming up in October. These are two of my western themed ATCs. They are for today's open theme on the Wednesday Stamper Challenge.
Stamps are from CHF, Tim Holtz, and Artistic Illusions.

Theme Thursday-Quotes/Sayings

Quotes or Sayings is the prompt for today's Theme Thursday challenge. I love the timeless wit and wisdom of Will Rogers so chose his image and quote for yet another ATC to be traded on the cruise.
This entire ATC was put together with the help of the UHU stic. I have always been hesitant to use glue sticks because they never seem to stick as well as I would like them to but I have found a keeper in this one. Thanks UHU for the free sample. For more info on UHU products and monthly free sample offers, go to glue with UHU.

Theme Thursday-Orange

Today's challenge at Theme Thursday is to use the color orange. This is one of the 100 or so ATCs that I will be trading on the Tim Holtz art cruise in October. I am using a vintage western and Texas theme for all of them.
Orange toned inks used on this are TH distress inks in Spiced Marmalade and Dried Marigold. Stamps used are by Oxford Impressions.
