Kitchen Sink Stamps & ATCs

Happy Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday!! I had a TERRIFIC weekend at Stamp New England and hope to be able to post some details and pics soon - even though my camera battery died Saturday morning!! :(

But let me get to today's business first! Today's challenge was brought to us by wonderful Tammy!! She asked us to create an ATC and then incorporate it into a card. I love making ATCs! They are quick and fun and do work nicely into cards!

Now, I should have done mine before this weekend but . . . I didn't! So this may look strangely familiar to any Stamp New England attendees! :) I basically took the tag from my project and just made it a bit bigger and changed a few tiny elements. I just love the colors - the bright tangerine color makes me smile!

And here is my ATC worked into a card. Again, very simple here but the colors just scream sun and fun to me! Plus it would be super quick and easy to whip up a bunch of these to have on hand!

The stamps used are all from 3 Step Hey Chick! from Kitchen Sink Stamps - isn't that egg shell just so cute?!

Take a few minutes and blurf around to the other Crew members' blogs - I cannot wait to see the ATC's they've created!!

OMGosh, I had that very same paper out and was going to use it, but went a different direction with my design! This is so pretty! I love those chick stamps, and love your crocheted flowers! Seriously, I want to buy some! (Or you come to Ohio and teach me how to make them!)
