XOXOXOXO...AMY...XOXOXOXO
ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
I HAVE BEEN ON A JOURNEY
SINCE AMY GRADUATED TO HEAVEN.
I HAVE WATCHED THE DIFFERENT
SWAPS FOR THE ATC'S.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT AN
ATC WAS BUT I SURE LIKED
WHAT I SAW.
ART IS A PASSION OF MINE.
I HAVE BEEN A CLOSET ARTIST
FOR OVER 20 YEARS....
BUT NEVER SHOWED MY
WORK TO
ANY ONE. I HAVE HAD NO
LESSONS OR DEGREES IN ART.
THE LESSONS WOULD HAVE
MADE MY LIFE A LITTLE
EASIER.
I MET TWO BEAUTIFUL GALS BY
THE NAME OF WENDY AND DEBBIE.
THEY ARE SOOOOOOOO
VERY TALENTED AND NICE AND
SWEET.
THEY TOGETHER HAVE FORMED
I HAVE JUST PARTICIPATED IN
MY FIRST ATC SWAP.
MY ATC SWAP PARTNER WAS
DINA AT
PLEASE VISIT HER BLOG.
YOU WILL BE BLESSED.
THIS WAS THE FIRST
ATC SWAP FOR BOTH OF US.
I INCLUDED SOME SIMPLE
LITTLE THINGS TO MAKE UP
FOR MY ATC CARD IN CASE
SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT.
I RECEIVED MY PRETTY
ATC CARD
FROM DINA. INCLUDED WAS
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LETTER
EXPLAINING WHAT INSPIRED
HER
TO CREATE THIS CARD.
I AM NOT GOING TO SHARE
THE LETTER.
YOU WILL HAVE TO HOPE YOU
BECOME HER ATC SWAP PARTNER
AND MAYBE YOU WILL BE
BLESSED WITH HER
LETTER OF INSPIRATION.
OUR THEME WAS "SISTERS."
MY SCAN DOES NOT SHOW THE
TRUE BEAUTY OF HER CARD.
THE FLOWERS SPARKLE AND
THERE IS A VERY SERENE
BACKGROUND THAT HAS BEEN
PAINTED ON A DICTIONARY
PAGE DEFINING THE WORD SISTER.
EACH MONTH THE THEME CHANGES
AND FOR THE MONTH OF
AUGUST THE WORD IS:
WON'T YOU JOIN US.........
JUST VISIT DEBBIE OR WENDY
AND CREATE
WHAT
IS.......
TO YOU,
IN YOUR ATC CARD.
I AM MUCH TO WORDY...
BUT YOU TOLERATE ME
AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT.
HUGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE

What fun! I'm thinking about orange. Hope you are well -- you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Dear Debbie your right Dina ATC is beautiful. I am so glad you joined us and never stop being wordy. Hugs Wendy
Hi Debbie, your ATC is absolutely gorgeous!!! It's been a long time since I've made some ATC's. I will have to add some to my list!
Hi Debbie, I'm so glad you're getting out there and trying new things! I've only done 2 swaps (not ATC) but it was good for me because it pushed me to take a risk. Good for you!

P.S. Being "wordy" is just fine!
Dear Simply Debbie,
What a beautiful ATC Dina created for you. I love how she used the dictionary page as a background. Your kind words about the swap are appreciated. I feel I have been blessed by getting to know you.
Love to you,
Debbie
I love this idea....alas, not very artsy myself.
Miss Debbie...you continue to amaze me. I love you try things and are not afraid to put yourself out there! As for being wordy...no way sister!!!! You are an inspiration in places you least likely expect! Big hugs Beth
Gotta run to go looky-see the links you provided...maybe I can learn more about this ATC thingy! lol
HI DEBBIE,
ORANGE....THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
IF YOU GO ON MY BLOG, AND GO TO MY POST THAT SAYS MY JENNY, IT WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT MY DAUGHTER, AND MY SON'S IS THE ONE BEFORE IT.
HAVE A NICE DAY. RIZZI
Hi girlfriend, I love your ATC. I got mine today from Debbie (the hostest Debbie LOL) and I will post the one I sent her and the one I received from her tomorrow on my bloggy. Love you, Mollye
Okay Debbie - That was a little over my head - but I love the color orange. And I will be thinking orange ???
I orange you,
sandie
Amy was sure an artist, both fashion-wise and design-wise, too. I know ANY swap partner would be LUCKY to have you swap with them. You are talented, too, even your writing is beautiful and fanciful. While the lack of formal training may have made handling materials more difficult (they teach about things like frisket that most people don't find on their own), it sure can't slow down your natural talent.
Good morning, Debbie, the ATC you received is very lovely. The way Dina applied the flowers on top of the dictionary page give depth to her project.
I see your ATC on your sidebar - you put together many things to make a pretty card also. You ladies are blooming with talent,
I love your words although some are Greek to this Ozark gal.
I have to pop over to see what all this is about. The card is beautiful even if the scan didn't do it justice.
Have a fantastic Friday and a blessed weekend sweetie!!!
Happy Pink Saturday Debbie dear.
Orange is lovely.
xoxo
