The colours in this one really made me feel like it was tumultuous - so there came the title. From the title i decided upon the words "she stood analysing the problem" - the problem being tumultuous... whew that was a mouthful lol
Hope you enjoy her - I'm keeping her for my own collection, but may make some similar so please check back soon.

gypsy striped
I love gypsy things, and this image is so innocent looking :) The colours are subtle for a gypsy - but I felt they blended together well with the image being gel transferred over the stripes.

Blogspot
I'm not too sure what I'm doing with this blog now. I really want to be able to have a folder/set for my atc's - so that I can separate whats available and whats not. Like flickr I guess, or even VOX blog... can't seem to do that here. Nor can I have 'friends' here - I find it hard work visiting link after link, it's so much easier and less time consuming to be able to see all my friend's new works on flickr. Oh why can't they just improve and add a blog into flickr?? Wouldn't that be wonderful. I think so.
I like the look of blogspot, love the fact that it is so widely used - yet am finding it quite limited for my needs. With the ability to 'blog' a photo direct from flickr, I am thinking I will just blog each picture i add and maybe occassionally pop in here and type something... same with vox i guess. At least the pictures are all organised over at vox.
Today I plan on scanning another 24 atc's that I have made - will upload to flickr and choose a few for here. Maybe I should scan the 9page sheet and just upload that, so there is only 1 pic showing the 9 cards...hmm sorry just thinking out loud.
Oh and then theres the facebook to consider - not that im doing much with that either. I have all these wonderful people some i even consider really nice friends, but they are scattered all over the internet. With so many links/bookmarks/blogs I get myself confused and even forget where people are. Someone invent a blog that links and gathers all information together in one place Please!! just for me.. lol
Oh well, back to figuring out what I'm going to do with all this tech stuff.. Have a great day.

Paris tower
This atc was made in a similar fashion to the Paris Blush atc. Only difference is the rubber stamp and the thread is lined up with the famous tower :)
paris blush
For this atc, i stamped the image onto a paper, tore it all around the edges, then inked all around the edges. Wrapped a little gold thread across it, added a little german scrap border - coated it with ink to match the pink colouring... mounted it onto the new zsa zsa card & presto!
carte postale
Traded this one. I like all things postage - coupled with inking, crowns, rub-ons - what more could i want...
Yet another gel medium image transfered, and adhered to a plain craft background. I am into the grungy look lately.

dove angel
I took this picture at Fremantle Cemetery and it's beautiful - so I wanted to use it on an atc. Here is the result. I matched the blue tinge in the picture, with matching cardstock and blue ink on the word stamp.
queen of wings
Another gel transfer, this time i roughed it up a little to make it more grungy. I added some ink, a few messed up rub-ons, mounted it on craft card and done!
Cemetery Angels
Cemetery angels are so divine, and I took some photos at Fremantle Cemetery, and also was lucky to get permission from my lovely friends at flickr to use some other peoples photos - here is my favourite selection of cemetery angel atc's i have made.
Alcohol Ink ATC's
I totally love my alcohol inks too - here are some cards made using the alcohol inks in various ways. Backgrounds are great done with alcohol inks, as are overlays.
Atc's
I will be trying to add my most recent atc's here bit by bit - here's some more. These few were created using the "Cold laminate" technique. I have made quite a lot of gel medium atc's lately - and must admit I am addicted to them. I love grungy things, and need more time to make more!!
Where to go, What to do... online that is
Today I have spent a lot of time creating this blog. I wish I was a little more IT savvy and could have a nice banner on the top. I may get Bec to help me with that...
But for now, here it is. I hope to upload my pics, but couldn't see any place to put particular folders and such. If there are any well versed blogspot users out there - I would love to hear your tips/tricks.
I really am a big flickr fan, and love the way i can be well organised there... it's the only place i am organised.. LOL
Ok, I have added several links to the pages that I have visited before, and the ones i frequently visit for inspiration. Some of my flickr friends are listed, and some of my swap partners, group members etc., If you would like a link on my blog to your blog/site, please ask - the more the merrier I say!! Eye-candy is such a good thing. Some days i spend more time looking at eye-candy planning my creative activities and then I end up doing nothing-as I have sat for hours dreaming, drooling at everyone elses work.. hahaha but that's the beauty of blogs i guess. To waffle to your hearts content, to share, to meet, to learn - and with like-minded friends, NOTHING could be better.
I love trading and participating in swaps. The flickr group is great for eye-candy, and we run regular swaps too. Also if anyone wants to run a swap - then jump right in and let me know.
The time is now 1am and I am off to bed. We just went to a quiz night and came in 2nd... lost out on winning by one question!! yup, just the one... ah well it was a nice victory :) Niters!

Atc's for trade
Hello,
This is my first Blogspot post - thought I would start transfering some atc's for trade here. I might leave all the other stuff at flickr. I like flickr. Also, there are lots of wonderful artists there and I have made several friends over at flickr, I couldn't bear to leave it.
Vox is quite cool too - some lovely peeps there too - but not enough :(
Ok, here are some of my latest atc's available to trade...
