Good morning everyone!!! I'm sittin' here having a cup o' coffee and enjoying the cooler weather. It's been in the high 90's where I live for the past several days. I don't mind the heat, but this is TOOOO hot!

It's supposed to be a *little* cooler today, but I'm not holding my breath. We don't have A/C which makes me even more grumpy. LOL!! I wanted to share with you another sneaky peeky at one of my ATC's for Kristina's swap. This one is also for A Muse/Elzybells. I just recently purchased this Heidi Grace PP - I *love* her stuff. And wanted to tie it in somehow with my ATC.
Swap info: Images by Elzybells; card stock by SU! & PaperTrey Ink; patterned paper by Heidi Grace; Ink by Versafine; Copic markers, spica clear glitter pen; tab punch by SU!; ribbon by A Muse; brad by Making Memories
I also had a little time to make a card for Heather Meeson's Friday's edition of "Share your Spark". This week's challenge was to use a stamp you've had a LONG time. It was difficult to decide as I've had several stamps for awhile, but I ended up choosing Announcer in honor of A Muse A Palooza. And believe it or not I've had him since last years event and he's never seen ink!!! ![]()
I also had to break out my new triangle punch that I just *HAD* to have when I saw Heather's banner birthday card. Pure genious Heather. That card is one of my ALL time fav cards of hers!! As you will notice I used blue & orange on this baby. I can't seem to get enough of this color combo --- thanks to Heather!! ![]()
Card info: Images; notecard; paper & ribbon by A Muse; Copic & spica glitter pens; triangle punch by Marvy; corner rounder punch by SU!; brads by Doodlebug.
I gotta run gals. Have a GREAT day! 















HI Tracy! Another super darling ATC Tracy! Now I wish I was in BOTH groups!! I also LOVE your "spark" card. I'm so excited for A Muse A Palooza & this card is just PERFECT for it! I want that triangle punch :) It has been very HOT here as well. Your little weather forecast smiley is too cute! Hope your weather is a little cooler today. Have a happy Sunday!

Your announcer card is just too cute! I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for him so he can join my collection!

This ATC is so pretty!! I am just loving all of the sneak peeks!! Clever use of the SU punch for "happy day". The announcer card is a work of art; loved how there is a triangle theme in the card; his stand, his announcing "thing" (I can't remember what it's called?!!), and the triangle punch out!! That Heather is so talented; I need to start a blog just so I can participate in her Friday Sparks:) TFS and hope it cools down soon for you; Tinla :)

And yet another CUTE atc! I really LOVE the Announcer card!!! The colors and I love how you used the punch. Of course I had to get one of them too after seeing Heather's card she made. ;)

Tracy, I love all of your cards. They are so colorful and fun. Thanks for sharing your talent! What are ATC's?

Great cards! My poor announcer has never seen ink, either! Thanks for the inspiration!

I love the cards! What color do you use for the skin tone on your cards? Mine never look right so I have not been using my stamps that are "people". I've bought a couple of the Amuse and Elzybells stamps recently, but the skin just never looks right. I'd really appreciate some help.

See ... blue and orange is addicting, isn't it? *laugh*
Glad you had time to play again this week! I love the announcer from last year too! I haven't used him in a while! I think I need to pull him out myself! (And love the banner!)
Thanks for "sharing your spark!"
