It's About Time

I post again! LOL The week seems to slip by so fast lately. I've been working on my swaps for SIT - Scrappin in Toledo Yahoo group that I belong to. I had a couple of cards to make and then some recipe lo's too. I still need to create another recipe LO. For the group we also can participate in Artist of the Month. You are to create an ATC and then send it to the group to be posted. Then around the 25th of the month or sometimes a bit later. The ATC's are posted and a poll is created to vote on their favorite ATC. I won this month! So my ATC is posted on the group's home page. So here are some of the things I've been working on.


The sketch card swap:
The ATC: The theme was LOVE....




I really need to get the rest finished so I can start on this month's swaps!

Oh and while cropping with a friend last week I created this card for a friend who had a radical mastectomy last week. Actually they've been friends with Tim for a long time. I just met her for the first time in August. She is also a scrapper, quilter and works with beads too. Here is the card,

I used BG Sultry and the Cancer Cannot poem that my friend has as a stamp. I really would like to find this poem on a stamp.

Well that's it for now...I'll be posting the recipes as soon as I finish them.

Well, it is about time that I stopped in for a visit!!! I can totally understand what you are saying about time flying by too quickly!!!

Your ATC is yummers!!!! All I saw was CHOCOLATE...mmmmmmmm:o) What a decadently blissful creation, and love is the perfect sentiment for chocolate!!!

I also love the card you made for your friend. The soft colors, the beautiful papers, and the lovely ribbon are the perfect frame for this incredible poem. I know she will cherish this beauty.

The cards for your sketch card swap are fabulous and so much fun!!!! The papers you used are wonderful!!! I now there are going to be some very happy ladies when they receive these paper treats:o)

I have a swap to finish tonight, so I will try to call tomorrow!!! Has Tim added those extra phones yet? Hahaha!!! You know I’m kidding;o)

Love ya!!!

Great cards! Your "cancer" card is very pretty. Notice you wanted that stamp with that poem. I found it on E-bay, if you're interested (that's how I got mine; I'm a cancer survivor so 'had' to have it-grin). Long link, I know, and the auction is going for 3 more days.
