I decided to do my own twelve tags of Christmas.  I chose to use vintage Santa postcards and lots of red and green. For my first tag I added green beaded fringe, chipboard stickers, pop up stickers, border stickers and maroon ribbon.

Christmas Rosettes

Finally picked up Tim Holtz's rosette die. I love it. It makes rosettes so much faster than Martha Stewart's scoring board.  I hope that he comes out with a die for a few larger rosettes maybe a 3 1/2", or 4".

From the Faucet ATC Swap

We had to come up with a creative idea for something coming out of a faucet. I chose to draw with sharpie and add color with colored pencils, then I smoothed out the texture with a colorless blender.

Vintage Thanksgiving ATC Swap

Patterned paper, vintage postcard images, ribbon, and hand lettered words were used to create these atc's.

Carousel Animal ATC Swap

Sharpie markers, gel pens, glaze pens, and a silver paint marker were used to create these cards.

Paisley Design ATC Swap

These were done with sharpies.

Marionette ATC Swap

I used vintage images and photos for two of my cards.  For the cat I cut paper scraps and added some shoes/boots with drawn on detail.  For the strings I used a push pin to place my holes and strung thread to act as the strings of the marionettes.

Big - Eyed Owl Rolo

Front of card

Back of card

I used a combination of sharpie markers, gel pens, glitter pens, and metallic pens.

Bird Masquerade ATC Swap

This challenge required hand drawn work for the faces and the masks.  I used sharpie to draw with and a combination of sharpie and copic to color with.

Chubby ATB's

Holiday Chubby ATB Swap

We were assigned one partner and had to create 2 ATB's.  Either 2 Halloween, 2 Christmas or 1 of each. My partner and I both decided we wanted one of each.  I used turned wood pieces, acrylic paint, vintage postcards and photos,  ribbon, bling, beads, miniature ornaments, polymer clay, paper, felt and resin stickers.

Domino Art 31 Days of Halloween

I chose to do day 13, just for the luck of the number. I used a vintage postcard image, rhinestone and pearl bling, alcohol inks, sharpie marker, sticker numbers, diamond glaze, and black glass micro beads around the sides.

Halloween Tins

Altered Altoid Tins

I used a propane torch out on my grill to burn the paint off the tins.  Then I used alcohol inks inside and out. Vintage postacrds were used inside and out.  I added ribbon to the inside and outside edges, added some pumpkins and a leaf, a sticker, a ribbon rose, pearls and rhinestones. 

Haunted Row Houses

This was a chunky swap, minimum size 4-6" wide and up to 9" tall.  I started by free hand cutting my house shapes and ended up making them all different. Layered on some patterned paper, then added paper windows and vintage halloween postcard images.  Next I used a white souffle gel pen and drew in my architectural details. A Sharpie pen was used to detail windows, pumpkins, and banners that I free hand cut to fit each individual house. I used some glitter pen to jazz up the images a bit.  My houses didn't get very "chunky", but I really like the way they turned out.
