WOYWW ATCs 8th Anniversary

I decided that this year I would prepare all my ATCs ahead of the Anniversary instead of one last minute rush ..... I'm sure that you all know what I mean!

I printed out my little WOYWW lady (how I think of her!) and sat looking at her ......
I tried out several designer 8s and then printed out a page of my chosen design, which along with a pre-painted background would complete the card.
I coloured her hair bright florescent pink!  I added a skin tone and some 'paint splots' then fussy cut out all my ladies.
I coloured up some of the 8s on the printed page and cut the paper to ATC size.  I also cut out some plaques to add along the top edge of the card, these were PC coloured and printed.
Some torn painted paper along the card, add a Pink Lady and a plaque, attach it all to a nice piece of Cornflake Box!! 
I find that a lot of the packaging is perfect thickness for these cards and is free!
My ATCs are now all ready to go  ...... same design but all different ......



I have received the following cards from my 'Swapping Partners'

The first card to arrive was from LunchLadyJan ......

Very cleverly done as a print ...... I am sure that I read somewhere that designing on PC is a craft in itself.

Thank you for my lovely card Jan.

The next card was  from our hostess herself.  Lots of stamping, spraying, diecutting and glittering going on here ..... methinks the lady had a lovely time.
Thank you Julia.



Then there was a flurry of ATCs.

My swapping partner (Lynnecrafts) sent me this gorgeous Japanese themed card, this will be added to my Oriental Collection eventually.
Thank you Lynne.

Glitter and Glue enclosed a beautiful card with her ATC.  I use the word inspirational here as I love this card and it has inspired me to 'have a go!'

The ATC is made from pearlised card, stamps and diecuts used.

Thank you Margaret.

This beautiful teal & white card arrived, with just a touch of glitter .....

Thank you BJ.

Shazsilverwolf's card show's off her skills to an E (Embossing).  Love it.

Thanks Shaz.

Landing on my mat a few days later was this glittering regal card!  I so agree with the sentiment.......

Thank you SharonK.

NikkiC absolutely blew my mind!
A small parcel arrived and when I opened it  ....
A very pretty purple ATC sized package.

Opening up, there are two envelopes holding untold articles.

So exciting!!!

Once opened and the goodies displayed ...... lovely diecut flowers and a card with washi tape ..... wonder what is underneath it?!

..... and here is the ATC.

Such a lot of thought has gone into this and it is sincerely appreciated.

Thank you Nikki.

Donna and I were late visiting each other but the card from Itsadonnathing arrived safely.

Love that the ATC and card go so well together.

Thank you Donna.

So now my agglomeration* of Cards are on display in my craft room.  Such a wonderful time..... Thank you so much girls for all the cards and thank you Julia for hosting such a Blog!!
