I had the opportunity to attend a U2 concert about a year and a half ago. The company I work for gave me 2 free tickets, so I couldn’t refuse them! It was on a Friday before a holiday weekend, perfect for an outdoors concert. We drove about 4 hrs to get to the stadium. WELL worth it!! Muse opened the concert and played about 45 minutes. They were great! U2 came on after a short intermission and really rocked the house! They played a long set list of new and old music. What a show!!

The bunny that I chose is too funny! He’s part of the DoodleFactory sets at Starving Artistamps. I flocked him and used my new grass border punch for the fun stuff at his feet. You can’t help but smile when you see him right?

Well, here are some of the cards that go in them! I trade with some local ladies every couple of months. It’s SO fun!
We haven’t met as a Club for 2-3 months, so we had a little catching up to do. November’s theme was “Wonders of the World”, December was “Freestyle” and January was “Planes, Trains & Automobiles”.
For the November theme, I chose the Pyramids since I found a PERFECT stamp in my stash! The Pyramids are from My Paper Moon and the depth background is from Lost Coast Designs. The small frame on the very outer edges is from Starving Artistamps. Lots of layers in this ATC!
Supplies:
My Paper Moon Pyramids rubber stamp
Lost Coast Designs Perspective background rubber stamp
Starving Artistamps Trim rubber stamp
Purple Onion Designs alphabet rubber stamps
Ranger ink
P K Glitz embossing powders
The “freestyle” ATCs were actually all different with the theme of Under the Sea. I used twinchies that I had swapped with the ladies on Rubber Stamp Chat and added a cool Distress Ink background to make it more interesting.
Supplies:
Starving Artistamp seaweed stamps in the background
Twinchies from RSC
The last ATC to share today is the “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” one. I used Stampers Anonymous stamps and layered them once again. It came out pretty cool.
Supplies:
Stampers Anonymous rubber stamps
Ranger embossing ink and embossing powder
Tsukineko ink

There’s a new challenge going on at the P K Glitz Blog called “Shake, Rattle and Roll”!
Create a project of some kind using P K Glitz products with a shaker box too! It can be a card, scrapbook page or altered item-you choose!
Here’s one to encourage you to play along. It’s a card using a rubber stamped background, foam tape as the shaker foundation and a piece of plastic as the window. I did a little extra rubber stamping of the smaller seahorse in blue on the backside of the plastic! Isn’t he pretty?
What are you waiting for? Take out those little beads, glitter and whatnot to put inside of YOUR shaker!
Supplies:
P K Glitz Glitter, Sticky Tape and Embossing Powder
Starving Artistamps Rubber Stamps, Foam Tape and sketch
Fiskars Border Punch
Tsukineko inks
Take the plunge and play along!

Published September 20, 2010 | I met with my ATC (Artist Trading Card) Club this past weekend. Those girls are SO fun! We laugh and trade stories of our lives over the past month or two since we last met. It’s boggling what can happen over that short period of time!
Our August theme was Victorian and our September was Bling. Since there is only 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ to work on, small stamps and images work best. It is the ultimate to use up those small scraps and embellishments that hang around your work space! I can’t tell you how long I’ve had the self-adhesive hand-dyed silk that served as the backdrop for the chandelier – TOO LONG! I had just enough to make 5 ATCs!
Anyway, take a peek and be inspired by these small marvels!
