A little tribute to Paul Harvey in the title there.
Here are the rest of the ATCs, along with the little envelopes I made for them.

This one is “Pretty in Pink”. Lot of glitter, lots of pink, and pretty ribbon.

I just wasn’t sure about this one at all when I was working on it. I painted it and wanted to have the lace detail on it, but it didn’t quite work out like I had wanted. I almost just tossed it, when I kept at it and added some pretty ribbon (always fixes things!) and the perfect words. In the end, my boss said this one was her favorite! You just never know how things are going to turn out sometimes. I entitled this one “A Wonderful Way to Live.”

Again, Josh Groban was singing when I was creating this one. I went between “Mi Mancherai” and “Hymne A L’Amour”. I wanted an Old Paris look to this one, and I think I acheived it. In fact, “Old Paris” is it’s title.

 

This one was a lot of fun. The little horse from a Piñata fit perfectly! A bit of glitter and glitz and we have “Pink Pony.”

The last two both tie for my favorite. I loved how this little beary turned out. Another foamy little bear, this time a white one painted pink and a stripedy old greeting card form the main focus. That is a little Gooseberry face I drew and again the perfect words. I did look back at my other ATCs from the last swap and realized I used a brown foamy bear with the same words in that swap! Oh, well…probably will for next one, too. This one just makes me happy. I call this one “In the Pink.”

This one is the only one that stayed almost the same from concept to finished art. A BIG thank you and I love you to my mama for giving me tips on how to cut out an enclosed circle! I just really loved how this one turned out. Here are my “Rose Colored Glasses.”

Here are the little envelopes made out of magazine pages. It took some doing to find 11 pink pages!

It is customary to send a little gifty to the host or hostess of the ATC swap. I sent our lovely hostess this little envelope made out of a paper doiley and put some pretty ribbons in it for her to use in a future art project. Maybe even ATCs!

I really enjoyed this theme and how they all turned out. It was difficult letting them go, but I know I’ll get some lovely ones in return. I did learn a lot from this swap and I’m already looking forward to the next one!
