Vintage tags, Shabby Chic

We recently had a shabby chic tag book swap on the Vintage atc UK group that I am in, so I thought that I would show you my tags , as you can see we had to include a front cover and lightly decorate the backs, the back of one  is shown in the last picture, these tags were all swapped out and we received lovely books back that are bound with a ring and lots of ribbons, fibres, etc are attached, the tags are approximately 5" long, I loved making these, and didn't really want to part with them but I did get a lovely book back !!!!!!!!!

Inchies on Atc's

I had great fun recently making these inches on atc's for a yahoo group swap, it's been ages since I made inchies but as I have just signed up to make 100 for a swap it won't be long before I make loads more :-)

Cemetery Angel / Statue atcs

3 of these cemetery  statue / angel atc's were made for a group swap, one for flickr and one for me to keep,
haven't done this type before so it made a nice change to use different style of images

More travel atc's

 I love travel themed atc's, these are the latest ones that I made for a swap, hope that you like them :-)

Boy with wings

These atc's were all swapped out in the yahoo group Vintageatcuk, Ali Brandist is the owner off this group and what a great group it is, loads of swaps going on,  a small and very friendly group, has been up and running about 8 months,  so if you are looking for  a new group to join why not take a look at this one :-)

The backgrounds to these are all made from scrap papers left over from other projects, after  playtime I gather up all offcuts of paper, braids, ribbons etc and keep them for future use, I have used paints, inks, gesso and stamping on these backgrounds and am very pleased with the way they look !!!!!

It's been a long time !!!!!!!

Well it has been such a long time since I did anything about this blog that I thought that I had better do some catching up, I am busy telling myself that if I cannot take the time to pop in once a week then its time to close the blog down, I will try harder :-)

Here are some of the atc's that I made before Christmas, these have all been traded in a yahoo group that I belong to, I really do need to make more atc's for private trades,

Now for some that are not Christmas themed 

Wedding and Geisha atc's

Another 2 sets of atc's made for Ali's group, weddings and vintage geisha, I throughly enjoyed making these atc's,
