Fashion ATC

Morning,

Sometime ago I was lucky enough to win a gorgeous set of 'The Artistic stampers' 1920's plate on the Arty Girlz blog.
The fabulouse background is from Crafty Individuals over HERE

Here is an ATC I created using this fashion diva on 1 of my monthly swaps over on the 'artist trading club'... to see more of our club members ATC's and those of our friends who often join us.... please pop over HERE.

artygirls blue and yellow

Hello once again for the Arty girlz challenge the theme being Blue and Yellow for this week..now I may have told you at some point that that colour combo is not one I would use I am a real Autumn girl...however I did play with inking backgrounds last week and the above is one of them...so on seeing the challenge this morning I came up with this ATC.

The image and words are both from 'Lisa's Altered Art' sheets... the background branch used to give more depth to the sky is one I purchased from Karen at Scrapz over HERE.... It is from 'The Cherry Pie' collection.

This fabulous 'Birds of a Feather' ATC is from Denises in Dubai her take on Blue and Yellow colour combo.

for the Arty Girlz...Thanks Denise.

Tag Your It

The very talented and lovely DAWN left me a comment on last weeks Arty Girlz post and right at the end she challenged me to join the TGI challenge for this week, Red and Green being the challenge..... Set by one of the 'card making queens' of blogland Kath.....

Now I like both colours but not always together (unless it's Christmas) so this was a double challenge because I also challenged myself NOT to do a Christmas tag.

Why do we do this to ourselves. lol.

If you want to take on the challenge then pop over HERE

The image was given to me last week as a gift by friend and papergirl Chris, it is a transfer on fabric thanx C...enlarge for a closer look.

Altered CD challenge win these postal stamps

Your chance to win these great stamps by entering our Altered CD challenge ..see below

Our next challenge will be on Monday the 10th of November... the challenge is to alter an old CD which must include words from a magazine/newspaper and as before using any other medium you wish, email them to me at chrissylamata@live.co.uk

Here we are with our challenge for November.....

To alter an old CD to the specifications above....

You may think no problems... and yes both Chris and I thought.. 'great, love this challenge' and so during our crafting session on Wednesday we completed ours and thought wow that was OK.

UNTIL.... today when I read the challenge before posting them... and we had both forgotten to use words from a magazine/newspaper.... DOH!!! rofl.... we were howling at our mistake.... and so back to the drawing board.

'Oh Baby, Them there eyes' is Chris' fabulous example of altering a CD, she used Cosmo Cricket papers and chipboard making it into a scrapbooking page which she intends to turn into a book..good idea and wait 'till DGS see's his photo. She even managed to use one of the postal stamps to the leaves on the 3d tree.

This altered CD above was my first attempt but does not abide by the rules however I am showing you it anyway... lol. but it doesn't count as the challenge...lol

The stamps I used are some of the postal ones you are able to win by entering your own Altered CD in the challenge, they are from Tanda Stamps and the lovely images are from Crafty Individuals the hats from Lisa's altered art.

Above we have my example and this time I am using words from a magazine.... only 2 of them... they are 'Forever Friends' I had to search for something to go with these images as I sooo wanted to use them...they are from 'The Artistic Stamper' 20's plate which I was lucky enough to win in a challenge over at 'The Artygirlz blog' earlier this year. The papers are from Anita's Christmas range. the sentiment is from 'Rivercity Rubberworks' I purchased it about 2yrs ago... Karen at Scrapz does stock some of their stamps.

Because we are almost a day late posting our examples due to our mistake we will give you until midnight Tuesday our time to email them to us at the address above.

We already have some great altered CD's in so if you would like to spread the word a bit more then please do.

PLEASE DO NOT put your entries onto your blog before we have a winner which will be chosen by YOU using a poll... we will post the entries on Wednesday 12th Nov.

Hope you are still with us but before we sign off I must show you a photo of a man Chris found for me...she thinks it's time I had one lol

Let me tell you my hair and body actually looked like that 5 years ago... I am off to dream of him rofpmsl..thanx Chris...night night.
P.S. she found him at Photofunia
See the altered box file below using the Tanda Stamps which are up for grabs on this post.

Love Chris and Chriss xx
