What have I been doing?

I have not posted this week, ummmmm, been busy?
I have been working on so many things, somethings we (I) forget to stop and play show and tell.
I have to work on that!

I have been consumed in this ATC I am working on. The goof ball that I am, decided I should stamp, color, and cut out each and everyone. No big deal, right? Do you see the area near her head, little piece by her hand and dress, the even littler piece by her cape and broom. Yep cutting all that out also.

So, are you wondering why is this lady working on a witch when Halloween has passed? Because my ATC group is getting together this month and everyone is assigned a month and we will then make a calendar out of the ATC's. Cool, huh? October is my month. So I have most of these cut out now...but it has been time consuming.

Then I have glimmer misted, distress inked, stamped, distressed again then painted...to make the background for the ATC's. But I am not showing you the finished project, at least not till next week.
I have also been working on some mixed media, painting.........his body started as book pages.

Same here.......don't like this one....but have to share the good with the bad.

Messing with words around the tree.......Just like to see how things look...play is the only way you find out!

So there ya have a small peek into what has kept me from posting.....Well, a small peek is right cuz my desk looks like a bomb went off. I think I have 20 projects going all at the same time.

Anybody else do this? Or is it just me?

Thanks for stopping!

Have a creative day and go make a smile!

Few Quick Projects and My ATC

I had to come up with some quick projects last night, so this is what I came up with.
Here are a couple candy holders made with Cosmo Cricket "Matilda"

I love this one!

Here is a larger treat bag! These were so quick and easy!

Here is the little gift card that goes with the bag above.

And on to my ATC for October. I used a playing card for the background. I scratched it up with a file and put some translucent paint over the card. You really can't see it in the picture.
I then took molding gel medium and started to make my cat. This was a little tricky as it stuck to the paintbrush and did not want to come off in the right places.

If you look at the cheeks they are raised, little on the ears and around the mouth. I wanted this cat to be dimensional, without being to bulky. I then had to wait a day for this to dry (I hate to wait, but I did). Then I painted the eyes, mouth, cheeks. Added the bow tie and put some good ole crepe paper on, then added the strip of paper with tim holtz tiny attacher, I know I always have to mention him somewhere, but I use his stuff in pretty much everything I do.

Here is it all done. I made little bags to put them in this month. I thought it was just a cute touch! I love they way these turned out. One thing I would do next time is to sand off a little more background, I think the cat would have shown better. But all in all I love him!
