My first ATCs, a swap , some cards & A GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone!

I have a few pictures of different things to share with everyone-I got involved in an ATC challenge over on www.cardznscrapz.com for February as hosted by the lovely Dianne & with the theme of love. You have to make 3 ATCs so here are mine-
 All wrapped up & ready to go!!
 I used Tim Holtz seasonal stash papers in the valentine theme along with some of the seasonal stickers, then I added a corrugated heart & paper rose to the ATCs, I finished them off by distressing the edges with ink! I also inked the edges of the stickers to make them "pop".



 The back of the cards
It was fun making these but as its my first ones-I hope they are ok & that whoever gets them likes them!

Also I was in a swap over on the scrapbeach which was a paper & goodie swap set up by Mely where you were joined up with another member & you had to make them up a kit with paper, card, embellishments, ribbons, trims & goodies! Tricia from New York was my partner & I made her up a kit using Basic Greys Curio collection & for her goodies I gave her some Irish Lily O'Briens chocolates.

This is the kit I made-it also had to include a handmade tag which you can see here on the right. Sorry about the quality of these pics I took them with my phone so the aren't great. I made the tag with some core'dinations which I sanded, some velvet butterflies, bling, a Tim Holtz "BLISS" adage ticket, lace & organza ribbon.

She gave me an awesome kit made up of really beautiful colours & embellishments! Also it was lovely to get some goodies from America :) I can't wait to make up a mini with her kit-
The colours of this kit are so cool-and some of the pages like the one on top here with the yellow bird are flocked!!!

This is Tricias tag-how cute is this?? Love the mix of the warm & cool colours! Thanks so much again Tricia, this was a great swap!

I have joined this swap for Feb too so I'll update you all about that again :)

Then I thought I would also put up a few pics of some cards I have made over the last few months-
 A baby boy card for my neighbour
 A wedding card for my friend Susan & her husband Peter
 A baby card for my friend
 A baby card for another friend :)
 Rias christening card
