{A Vintage White Christmas ATC’s}

I was very thrilled to sign up for Kim’s “A Vintage White Christmas” ATC swap on her blog artJOYstuff and I am sharing my “six” that I made for it.

This is my first time making ATC’s since my stroke 2 years ago, and while it took me much longer (a did a little each day for a week or so) – I was also able to prove to myself that I can do it. Just differently. I rarely do swaps anymore, so this was a real treat.

I started with a heavy cardstock base, added textured wallpaper, my images, and doilies cut into quarters. Matte gel medium, stickles (that is serious PT for my hand), buttons, and silver snowflakes.

If you want to learn more about the swap…just click here to go to Kim’s site!

About Sugar Lump Studios

I am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums...pattern papers, stamping, fabric, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments. I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.

    Oh Nancy they are beautiful…love the small details. Can tell they were made with Love. Your images and Sentiments are really cute. Guess what. I forgot to add my sentiments. Too much going on. Have a fun week.

    They are such delights!
    It’s remarkable how far you have come in two years, it is a demonstration of your inner strength.
    I relate to the dipping in and out of projects as that is exactly how I work. It’s amazing what can be achieved when 5 mins, here and there eventually lead to a completed piece of art – the best feeling!!!

    I am thrilled I received one of your tags in my box for this exchange.
    I love it and will always have it hanging in my studio after Christmas, it’s going on my white tree now

    Merry Christmas

    Nancy, these are well, stunning! There, I’ve said it again!
    Bravo, that you were able to create such glorious atc’s- happy to hear you did bits at a time and not work yourself to tiredness.
    Sorry I missed this swap as I surely would have enjoyed it as well- perhaps next time!
    love&hugs,Jackie
