"London is Calling" ATCs

This card suits me to a T. 

This has been a busy month and I feel like I'm still trying to play catch up. I mailed these off this morning but I wish I could have kept them awhile! These ATCs are the for monthly ATC swap at Club Scrap. I used paper and elements from the London is Calling kit.  Last month, I made a Union Jack stencil for my London is Calling blog hop project and liked it so much I added it to my ATC design.  I designed the Union Jack background in Photoshop Elements and printed on Club Scrap cardstock. 

So, without further ado, here are the rest of my mini pieces of flair...

The love embellishment is from my stash and the quote is from the Gimme a Ring (2009) Club Scrap kit. 

The bottom half of the quote is a stamp from the Club Scrap Cruisin' kit from 2008. 

Elements from my huge stash of "scrap crap"!

More elements from my stash.

I added a layer of Glossy Accents to the "wellies".

We just completed our second monthly Twinchie swap too. This was the series I designed this month. I usually try to make them all different, but I liked this so much I just made them all the same.

If you are feeling creative and want to start small, check out the monthly ATC and Twinchie swaps. There's always room for one more!

50s Kitchen Blog Hop!

Welcome to my stop on the 50s Kitchen blog hop! Isn't this collection soooo cute?! I had such a hard time deciding what to do for my project. I wanted to use EVERYTHING!

50s Kitchen Club Scrap Deluxe Kit

50s Kitchen Cat Clock Stencil

50s Kitchen Greetings to Go 

I made an Office Depot run for some mailing supplies and, of course, I had to look over the clearance rack while I waited in line. I found an "old school"  three ring binder address book that had a torn cover. BINGO! After a little "wheeling and dealing" with the manager, he discounted it to $2. I could work with that! A little recovering with the 50s Kitchen Lite papers, and an embellishment using some Ten Seconds Studios metal with the Kit Kat Klock stencil and voila! 

I love making something for myself that I will actually use! I am forever writing phone numbers down on pieces of paper that never make it to my Iphone contacts OR my phone isn't charged when I need to look something up. To quote my sister, "sometimes 'old school' is mo betta!" 

The next stop on the hop is Cathy at The Artful Gamut. If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop click here. Thanks for stopping by!
