New ATCs
Yesterday I was feeling very creative. I worked on several atcs, a few art journal pages and an art piece for my husband. I was so in the zone I forgot to have breakfast and lunch. By the time I realized I hadn’t eaten it was almost time for dinner. Oh well! I was having too much fun!
Here are the atcs I was able to finish yesterday. I will probably have a few more at the end of the week depending on how busy I get. The first four atcs I had already created the backgrounds back in February. I really like the letter buttons I used on the first four. I purchased them at a scrapbooking convention earlier this year. I only got one bag and I really wish I had purchased more as I am having a hard time finding more.

Doctor Who ATC Swap
Yesterday I received my returns from the Doctor Who Swap on ATCsforAll. The swap was to create cards based on the Doctor Who series between 2005 till now. The cards had to be hand drawn/hand painted, mixed media or collage.
I love Doctor Who. The 10th and 11th doctors are my favorites though I’m starting to think I might love the 11th a bit more. I love the 10th‘s outspoken and eccentric personality and I love how the 11th is slightly mad and passionate. I thought the 9th doctor was ok. I might have grown to like him more if he had been around longer. I haven’t watched any of the earlier doctors but I plan to soon. I am looking forward to the 50th anniversary special.
Here are the cards I received.

Punchinella Two ATC Swap
I recently received my returns from the ATCsforAll Punchinella Swap. For this swap we had to incorporate punchinella on our cards; like using it as a stencil or actually placing it on the card. Punchinella in case you have never heard of it is the material left behind after sequins have been punched out of it. It is sometimes called sequin waste. Below is a picture of what it looks like.
