Yes, I'm making them but...they are nowhere near as artsy as everybody else's. And most of mine have photos which puts it more into the scrapbook department. But thanks for the compliments, everybody!

That's the thing--these are only for you so you can make them anyway you want. Only person who needs to be happy with the finished product is you.

(ps this was a great idea RA)

Hope - that's lovely. What are those buttterflies? They look very 3D but no like embossed...

Pam - your usual artsy self! Love all the detail, especially the glitter bits.

Great cards, all of them!!!

Very pretty, Pam! The letter stickers make a great abstract background.

the butterflies are stickers that I have had for ages. I think the reason that they look 3D is b/c I used a purple shimmer mist in the background and then used a lime green shimmer mist on top and rubbed the lime green mist off the sticker b4 it dried.

I am really trying to use stash for the cards, but I was very pleased with the way this one turned out.

Yes, this is a great project for using up stash bits we don't normally get around to. I've been doing that as well on the cards I made recently. I'm also doing another project: photo-a-day, which I scrap on 6x6" making it into a very fun carefree little book in which I'm using tons of things I would never use on my "proper" scrapbook pages, if you know what I mean...

Thanks for explaining that background, Hope. It is beautiful. I'm assuming the purple halo effect is the clear part of the sticker that took the spray differently. I really like it.

These are wonderful ATC's ladies. Hope your background on that is fantastic.

Pam C I love the glittery butterfly, heck I love butterflies.

Petra your design is awesome on your 'ATC' I really like how many of you ladies have placed photos on your works of art.

I am finally catching up with these works and here is my entry:

Another knock-out Cheryl! I wish I'd remembered one of my favorite quotes when I was looking for an idea for mine - "What the caterpillar considers the end of the world, the Master considers a butterfly."

Cheryl, this one is also wonderful. I love everything about it: the verse, the colour scheme, and again how you used the little jewels and the glitter on the butterflies. So beautiful.
