Make My Day... Turn Back The Hands Of Time or....

...use the key to unlock the door to the furture ATC...

I had something part made last week and tried to complete it today but my heart wasn't in it so I gave up and decided to do this ATC project that I'd seen years ago and wanted to make but no one ever created a swap on it in the yahoo groups I was in. So today was my day to create this 4 piece ATC to create one big image. I love how it turned out but I'm going to one day make another where each ATC is something on its own too. This was my first time doing it so I just wanted to experiment freely plus I have an awful cold where I can't concentrate so it wouldn't have been much fun.

I used yellow, orange and green distress ink

Paper Artsy stamps

and

Cherry Pie Stamps

which I stamped in black.

I did one sheet in brown but it was just too dark for my liking

and liked the softness of this one.

I coloured some of the stamped images in with pro markers

and went around 2 images in gold and silver gel pens.

By the way the colour of these are a little more brighter then what it looks like in my photos.

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you to write
 make my day in your diary
starting from next weekend for a whole week
to celebrate the 1st birthday of my blog
I'll be having a giveaway everyday!

I'll have holidays at that time
which is why I haven't organised it sooner
as I should hopefully get my mind organised
in getting things prepared
but also I'm hoping for a couple of snow days off to craft!
Wishful thinking I know
 but who knows as we have a visit from Mr Snow today
and he maybe around for a while.

I will be giving away handmade items, craft and stationery supplies
so keep your eyes wide open.

For now though lets focus on these ATCs
If you would like them
Why not shout
Make My Day
in the comments section.

Good Luck!

This is on its way to

Make My Day....Only time will tell!

Well since many of you voted that you'd share your address with me and would take part in claiming whatever I make... I decided to get crafty today and get the ball rolling.

 The idea of make my day is to comment that you'd like the postcard... start with make my day, that way I can tell the difference between the person claiming it or just commenting. If a lot of you comment that you'd like one of my items then I'll use a name generater doda.  I will let whoever gets it know on a Monday evening (evening in the UK that is). Remember you can claim for someone else if you want me to send whatever to them...

 So this time I've started with a postcard which actually turned out to be quite a pain since I decided to use a stamp but only half the image came up but I only had that one piece of coloured card. I tried maybe 5 times more to just get the text on the background right and in the end I gave up and stuck with this one so I hope whoever receives it isn't to critical of my mess. For me though its more or less how I wanted it.

This is the front which I used white card, text stamp (which I can never tell which way up it should be), a paperartsy flower stamp and the clocks are from Cherry Pie Art Stamps. The colours are distress inks and water colour pencil crayons.

The back which isn't yet complete as I need to find a black pen from somewhere.

Here are some more images

I wish I had a stamp of a face as it would have looked great having half the face on this part of the card with the clocks.

The reason I want the face in the other photo is because of the man in this one. Doesn't he look a bit creepy.

If you have any suggestions of themes I can try creating with, just go to my sub headings under my banner, click on Make My Day and leave your suggestions in a comment there.
