Good Morning Blog world, hope everything is well in your lives - mine is very quiet and very different from the last few months. I'm still not getting a lot posted but I am trying to get ahead with my DT makes and just finishing off the last of the invites.
Which brings me to the reason for my post today, Thursday can only mean one thing......Time for a new challenge at
And this week Big Boss Lady (bow to her power) Hazel has set us a different challenge
Make An ATC
Now they may be small but this was a huge challenge for me as I've never made one in fact I've never even seen one, but armed with a brief description, some precise measurements and a piece of card that Lisa was playing with during hers and Pam's visit....this was born!
One of the hardest things was trying to photograph it without it blurring - I had to use the macro in the end so that it was legible. The snow effect was done by finely misting bleach on to the ink dusted background, Lisa is just full of fantastic idea's! The snowflake brad is from Karen Foster.
Now I don't DO ATC's, so if anyone reading this collects them and wants it the first person to leave me a comment with their address can have it!
Don't forget to visit the main challenge blog to see what my lovely friends have made for your inspiration and to see if you made the top 3 or better, won last week.
We are sponsored this week by
and they are giving this fab prize to this weeks winner
Happy crafting
