A bit of sauciness and some ATCs!

Hi All

Hope you are enjoying the weekend, despite the weather. Haven't really felt like doing much today but did a little bit of crafting. Had a go at the challenge over at Cupcake Crafts this week which is to make a 'gift card' so I have made a money wallet for a man. This saucy Santa from Sassy Studio is fab for a gift for a man....don't know about you, but I always struggle with buying gifts for men, so often need a money wallet for cash or vouchers! Lol! I have added a little bit of stickles just because it needed something, even if it is for a man! Inside I have just made a little pocket so a gift card, voucher or notes will easily fit into it.

The rest of my time today was spent making ATCs! I haven't made these for a while but over on my Christmas Challenge blog I am shortly going to be holding a Christmas ATC swap so let me know if you would like to take part. Used to love swapping ATCs so looking forward to holding a swap and Christmas themed is even better! I made 8 ATCs so have just picked out four to show you up close and one photo of all 8 so as to not bore you with loads of photies! Lol! My first ATC I would also like to enter into the challenge over at Bah Humbug which is ‘Here come the girls!’-make something girly! Not that I need a reason, but I have used pink papers, pink speccies, pink gems and glittery ribbon to make this ATC super girly!

My next ATC is using another image from Sassy Studio. I have used some old Papermania papers and coloured her in using Promarkers. I have also added a little snowflake that I cut on my friend's Cricut machine!! I think I fell in love with her Cricut when I had a play the other day...has gone on my Christmas list ;)

My third ATC is using a gorgeous Penny Black Mimi stamp. She is such a sweetie and looks so angelic with blonde hair! I tried to just keep to blue and silver for this ATC, using a little lace and gems as finishing touches.

And finally, my last close up of an ATC I have made is one using one of my penguins I made using my friend's Cricut machine on Tuesday. We had loads of fun playing around with it and I have lots of penguins and owls...you know they are my guilty pleasure....to make up so watch this space! I have used some Papermania papers and ripped a little to attempt to make a little bit of snow!

And here is my piccie of all 8 ATCs that I made today. Hope you like them and if you would like to be involved in the Christmas ATC swap then please get in touch and I will add you to the list. All of the details will be posted on my challenge blog and this blog on Thursday 1st September!

That is it from me today. I am back to work in a week so not sure how much crafting I am going to get done this week.....hoping to take part in a few more challenges before my holiday ends! Enjoy the bank holiday everyone!

Hugs
