ATCs keep staggering in!

My intention was to stop with the last ATCs, REALLY!  I mean we are leaving in 10 DAYS! Not that I do things until the last minute, but I have a couple of other projects to wrap up before we leave, so I was DONE with ATCs.  One of the projects I need to complete is to add the info to the back of ALL the ATCs.

I counted the ATCs so I'd know how many backings I need. . .I have 82, that's almost 100.  NO don't go there. 

At some point I noticed Linda at Studio L3 had a new post and dropped by for a visit.  Her post was for the Drunken Stamper challenge.  Dry emboss and paint.  Interesting challenge, but  I AM strong,  I can pass.

Earlier in the day I was cleaning (yuck) and found some definition on chipboard and thought "those would make great ATCs" but went on with the cleaning, putting those chipboard pieces out of sight and out of mind.

Finally, I sat down to work on a project that is NOT an ATC.  I prepped a mirror for the project and the next thing I know I am working on ATCs.   Not sure how the switch happened but those chipboard pieces were in front of me along with some dry embossed ATC sized  pieces of paper and paint.  I completed 4 ATCs (2 that meet the challenge) and have another 4 planned.

The first 2 are for the Drunken Stamper Challenge, the other 2 are just because! lol

So now I have 86 ATCs plus the 4 "planned" ones, that's 90. . .  On Monday Linda will have another Compendium of Curiosities challenge. (Are you playing along? If not, drop by and check it out, it's lots of fun!)  Hmmmmm,  Will I make 100 ATCs before I leave? 

Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

Linda

  5. Hi Linda!! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Love the ATCs, I even made one myself today, have been taking a break lately. Of course I am not AT ALL jealous that you are going off on a cruise with Mr H. (nose growing longer by the minute)- sure you will have a great time (bet you get to 100 ATCs!!). Good luck with your giveaway when you get to 100 posts, am following so I get a reminder to call back! Which reminds me, I haven't posted my September giveaway yet - where did this month go?
