February ATC's

Fantastic News!


Our guest designer this month is Chriss Rollins if you're not familiar with her work, then pop on over to her blog and see some of her gorgeous pieces. I hope she is ready for a challenge and I hope you are too!

Its a new month and so a new challenge and this month it's:-


ATC's
(just in case peeps don't know, ATC's are pieces of art sized 2.5"x 3.5" they are never sold only traded!)

Most people love them, that is until they hear about my challenge subject this week......

Mad March Hare


Yes I know it sounds rather hard and limiting as who else, but I, would have a hare stamp. The reason I chose this is because I just love this saying and it rolls of the tongue with ease. I also love the image of the hare I have used. His eye just watches you wherever you view him from.


So a challenge it is. But I did think I could make the challenge broader as otherwise I would have no one to play with and that just is not the point of these challenges. So I thought I could make the subject broader and more attractive to you crafters and expand it somewhat.


How about:
Mad March Hare
Mad March
Mad Hair (yes, pun intended)
Mad as a Hatter
March
Rabbit or bunny

Does this help?

Carol has also suggested and kindly agreed to run an ATC swap at the end of the month. Wouldn't this be great. I know I would love it. So we hope lots of you will take part. Send Carol the 4 ATC's from each week in February, with an S.A.E., and you will receive 4 back. Sounds like fun! Contact Carol via the email link on her blog and she'll send you the relevant info.

So to get you started and without further ado here are the ATC's the team have created this week.
