This is my little scrap pile that I pulled from to make the cards below.
I did not meet my goal of 5o atc cards yesterday I only made it to 35...
but the are all one of a kind :)
I am just happy that I do have some trades for artfest and I now don't have to worry any more about getting there and having trade envy.

I used felt, fiber and transparency's, coffee stained muslin with stamped images/ words, button and tuelling and machine stitching .... I tend to lay out the designs fast then I will move stuff around a little then I will sit at the machine and sew them up .
today I will work on batch 2... and maybe I will go into a new direction... I depleted most of my scrap pile that I was working with so maybe I can come up with some fresh ideas?
I will work up a little steep by steep of how I do my layers today when I make my new batch and share it with you tomorrow :)
I really miss blogging and just playing around in my studio with fiber and paper, But all my Art time has been dedicated to Jewelry for My book and I have found that when I create Jewelry it comes from a different place inside of me and its hard for me to do both... it strangely one or the other for me... but I have been working on getting to the two to meet up some how and maybe even become friends :)
And the Winners are....
OK... maybe my contest was rigged... leave it to me to make pulling two names so complicated!
But on first pull I pulled out Kelly and Holly... Kelly does not count she can have what ever I do when I ever I do it... so yes Kelly you can have a charm... but you do not count, so I pulled another name...my next name was Martha who will be in the same house with me at artfest and Holly is going to be at artfest as well so they don't count... I will put away one just for Holly and Martha with your names on and I will hand deliver your birds to you :)
I guess it official I am a rule maker not a rule follower :)
and its always easier to make the rules up as you go along !
so who are the winners after my morning drama?
Patti G ( yet another girl that only needed to ask! but at this point some one had to win! )
Malin ( please email me your address at ruthrae@aol.com )
Congratulations Lady's I will send your charm out this week !

I have been thinking of your birdie charms all day (I even passed a wedding supply store and considered going in....LOL. I have made some special ones to trade with you....
I can't believe how fast you made all of those ATCs. I have been struggling with 4 for 2 days!!!! (because they are paper -- I'm trying to CHALLENGE myself)Anyway, yours are SPECTACULAR!!!!!
I love all of those atc's. I can't even pick a favorite.
