Shamelessly begging for VOTES

Blissful ATC Swaps is having a competition among the submissions from it’s members. It involves ATC holders/storage possibilities. I enjoyed making this holder for my collection of ATC’s.

I submitted my little creation for a contest among other ATC holders. If I am to win this little competition and garner a most superlicious prize…I MUST have your vote! You can now visualize me on the floor with hands clasped.

TO VOTE: please email blissfullatcswap@gmail.com that you want Terri’s altered book to win because it is just awesome and you would want one too if you collected ATC’s. OK, ok, you don’t have to say all of that but it did sound pretty good. Your email comment will count as a vote. Easy Peasy Pleasey!

Here is a close up of the front page. I have an extra folded pocket in the front and I can also tuck ATC’s or tags into the angle folded pages.

My book is already filling up nicely.

But I have room for more.

The back of each page is where I keep neat name tags, moo cards from friends and other cute paraphernalia from the presentations.

The exterior of this particular book had a lot of character already. I just used a few pieces of ephemera to cover titles. It will soon fold back on itself and this part won’t be so noticeable anyway.

Well, I think that went quite well as far as begging shamelessly. You can now visualize me hanging onto your leg as you are trying to escape.

Just jump over to Blissfull ATC swap and then send them an email to blissfullatcswap@gmail.com to cast your vote for my altered book holder/display.

Thank you very much. Adieu.

Creating a Posie

I am gardening with my sewing machine this past week.  I have joined a swap that requires a hand created bloom.  There are several prototypes in my 'garden' work table and I can't decide which direction to go.  I like this one, but am limited on the vintage pins that go in the center, so that element will require a plan B.  I have been known to resort to plan W in the past!  We may be on our way here again. 
I layered silks, chiffons, tulle netting and lace and anchored with freeform stitching.  I am going to explore a few other options....such as something I can do with my/our Cricut Expressions.  I hope I can cut fabrics with it and that will be an experiment high on my list.  This new toy needs some play time dedicated to it and my schedule isn't allowing a lot of that.  A gal has got to have her afternoon naps!!  The Sweet One got me in that habit.  Ha ha, blame it on the grandchild.  Bad grandma! 
Glad you made a quick hop over here for my quick post.  Come back again...ya hear?
