Trivial Pursuits ATC swap

This is another ATC swap I participated in recently. They are 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 in size. We were suppose to represent each category in the Trivial Pursuits game. I choose to do mine for things that I feel will represent the future in each of the categories like

Obama- History

Twilight- Arts and Literature

Favre- Sports

Sandra Bullock- Entertainment

Global warming- Science

Chili- Geography

I was hoping my whole collection would go to one person as you can see the idea was to complete the pie like plaing the game.

MARY ENGELBREIT TEAPOT SWAP

I wasn't quite sure about this chunky chipboard swap "without pictures" but I had such a fun time putting it together I worked on it for nearly a week. We were suppose to mimick Mary Engelbreit style. I hope I am so what on and everyone likes it.

Louise Brooks ATC Swap

Spent the weekend scrapbooking with friends in Ocala, thank god for Kelly unloading and loading all my stuff I couldn't do it without her she is the greatest. Took me 4 days to get over a stomach virus "I Guess" feeling much better today. I have finished my Louise Brooks ATC swap that Don will mail out to the UK today. This was an interesting swap as I knew nothing about this silent film actress. She had quite an interesting life and it was neat researching her careers and history. My mom would be proud! LOL

Inchies

I joined a new yahoo group a few weeks ago called "thesumofallatcs." This is a pretty neat group in that they do alot of swaps nationwide. This is the first one that I participated in called "inchies." These are 1 inch x 1 inch squares with a specific theme. This months swap theme was months of the year whether it be about the seasons or holidays. I found it very hard to work with a 1 inch square but after I got started it was kind of fun. I feel that most of the artist in this group are more abstract so we will see what I get back in a month or so. I feel mine are too realistic but it was a challenge. My favorite is the Easter Egg! What do you think!

HILLTOP MEMORIES

I love love love this group!

I just spent a weekend at Oleno State park scrapbooking and I had such a wonderful time making new friends and visiting with current friends. If you ever want to crop just lookup hilltop memories they are great!

Slacker

I have to admit I have been a slacker lately in my blog. I have been creative but very little. I recently terminated with my employer and have been a bit down and out with my MS. I try to keep a good attitude but sometimes I feel so bad, it is very difficult. If it wasn't for being creative and having friends and family I would have lost my mind so be patient as I try to get back on track now that the Holidays are over and my disability paperwork is filed. Take care and have a great New Year

PEBBLES LAYOUTS

I just love the Pebbles collections. I bought these products to do the below pages at the Scraporium in Lutz, Florida. The layouts always come together so nice and the colors are really easy to work with. My favorite is the Pool layout on the bottoms. The kids are so darn cute and the colors really pop too!
