It’s been a while since I posted any news. Well our new ATC site is up and running - just have to get the IT expert to show me how to put the new link in and take out the old one. Have been busy at school - four senior classes is quite demanding - but rewarding. Bought myself a drawing tablet at the weekend and have been playing with it over the last couple of days. I made two digitals ATC’s for the Grandparents Swap and it was great to use - will explore its other capabilities as time progresses. The card here is my grandfather

It looks like my favourite forum is closing down - the news was pretty sudden but it looks like a new & improved forum will be up and running in the next couple opf weeks. It has been a great place to trade and to makew friends from all over the world. Am working on some swaps that are still happening ( about 10 of them!!!!) including a layout challenge one & a swap based on Pompeii.

I have had such fun last night and today with my art work. I finished an Oriental swap and decided to go digital with my ATC for the Pointy Hats Swap. Am now working on my cards for the Colour Themed Swap - have to make two cards that are red, blue, green, yellow & pink. Am using acetate and printing onto it and then working with my background. Will upload the pics when they are done.

It’s the end of the first week back at work and it has been BUSY!! All my classes are lovely - especially Year 9 - so it’s shaping up to be a good year. The only downside is that I have less time to spend on creating but I will certainly make some time. I finished my Button Fairy swap cards last night - I think they are really cute. Am about to work on my cards for an Oriental themed swap - one of my favourites.
