I finished my last ATC's

First I'd like to note that I hit 200....... followers, WOW, amazing. Thanks so much to all my followers, you motivate me to craft.
This is my last ATC I made, I was in 2 different groups. This group was Vintage ATC's, red, pink and or purple. As you can see, once again I incorporated the dress form.(I'm including a picture of my favorite dress form.) Yes I love... dress forms. I collect rhinestone jewelry and pin them all over it. For the ATC, I printed off a vintage music picture off the Internet, used graphic 45 paper for the dress form image, inked the edges and added pearls. Here are pictures of all the ATC's sorry so many, I got carried away.HA! You can click on any of the pictures to make them larger. Let me know if you like them. Shari

Card I made out of ATC

This is my prototype for my ATC, I made it into a card. ATC post is below this one, I still can't figure out this posting business. HA! Let me know what you think.

My first ATC swap

I'm in my first ATC swap on the cricut message board. Here's a sneak peak. I didn't even know what a ATC was but figured out it's Artist Trading Card. I hope this is what they want, I don't want to disappoint anyone. This group was Vintage ATC's, Black, white,or gray and one other color. This is what I came up with (I just love dress forms so I wanted to incorporate it into this card. I have one more group to do yet, they are not due until May 20th.

I used DCWV Maraposa paper, scalloped border punch, old lace, k&co butterfly & cork stamped with a stampin up stamp. The finished card size is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.

The second project I made from a sketch by Liz Qualman (I'm not sure if this qualifies or if it has to be my own creation.) BEAUTY
I used graphic45 le'romantique collection paper. I cut the circles and the word Beauty from my cricut. I used prima flowers and old buttons, old lace and a butterfly from K&Co.

BEAUTY

I made my first layout from a sketch! Check out Liz's blog: www.lizqualman.blogspot.com (her sketches are awesome).
My friend and fellow blogger beatriz at: www.beatrizguzman58.blogspot.com inspired me to try following a sketch. Her work is fantastic!
The paper I used is graphic45 Le'Romantique Collection. I used prima flowers with old buttons for the centers. A strip of old lace and a butterfly from K & Company. I welded the word Beauty on my gypsy and cut the circles on my cricut.This picture is of my daughter 15 years ago, she was in a beuty pageant and won! Click on the picture to make it larger.
