I have been a very bad blogger and have not added anything here for about six months (!) I am making up for this now by showing you my ATC calendar. I made twelve ATCs, each representing a month of the year, and added a calendar to the bottom edge of each one, and then bound them with the Bind-It-All. I added some stiff card to the top of each ATC for the wire to go through.
The stamp for January is by Inkadinkado. I coloured the bird using Distress Inks, and added red to the berries with a Whispers pen. I put some glossy medium on the berries and bird's eye. Seeing lots of birds eating red fruits from a tree today made this image even more apt for this month.
This Penny Black bear is bringing some Valentine's Day roses! I coloured him with Distress Inks and made his flowers glossy.
Another Penny Black image. I expect everyone is longing to see the Spring flowers. Again I used Distress Inks to colour.
Some Papermania bunnies! How cute are they. I found some Hot Off The Press silk flowers to give this some real Spring colour.
Well it had to be a cat for May (my birth month) and a ginger one too! Socks may be a little old to chase butterflies now though (he would disagree I am sure.) I used some Whispers pens to add colour to this image.
A very cute Penny Black bunny has a nap in the sun. Sun? What's that?! I used Distress Inks again and some Brenda Pinnick paper.
These Penny Black images are so useful for projects like this. I used both Distress Inks and Whispers pens to colour this.
A Forever Friends bear brings in some late summer flowering daisies. I used Distress Inks and Whispers pens, and some Dovecraft paper.
This cute stamp is by Sugar Nellie and was given away by Craft Stamper magazine. I keep using him, he is so sweet. I coloured him with Distress Inks and added some highlights with a white gel pen. The papers are from My Mind's Eye Bloom and Grow pad.
October means Hallowe'en and I love Pumpkin and Aubergine from Papermania. Where would I be without Distress Inks for colouring!
This stamp is very lovely and I used part of it for this ATC. I stamped with an Ariondack Woodland pad. The spotty paper comes from a Papermania A4 paper pack.
It'll be here before we know it! I used some sparkly card and punched a snowflake in red/gold shimmery paper. The stamp is from Penny Black.
