Altered Puzzle Christmas ornament...

My little Santa puzzle pin was such a success I was asked if I could make it into Christmas tree ornaments :) So I did. I actually made a set that I am selling in my shop (well they are reserved actually) ;) I was shocked that it was going to be liked so much. This go-round I decided to change it up just a little. The piece is a different shape of course as all puzzle pieces are different... I printed the little phrase and used my fancy scissors to cut the words out instead of stamping (I thought it might look a bit neater) I also used all small bells for the dangly's and added ribbon for the hanger on the top instead of the pin backing. If anyone else is interested in purchasing a Love for Santa Altered Puzzle Piece Ornament, made w/ love by your's truley email me at AlteredWhimsey@gmail.com :) Price: $3.50 SHIPPING IS FREE for the Holidays :)

Turkey & Pumpkin's ATC

This was a simple ATC I created for the Y! Group GlobalChattyChicks.... I basically used a scrapbook page that I have had for ages. I shaded the edges with a #2 pencil (a cheap and easy way to accent edges etc if you dont have a stamp pad etc).. I have this awesome pumpkin stamp that I have used a few times, I found it for 70 cents on discount at Michaels (a GREAT fall find of mine!) I stamped th pumpkins and then w/ colored pencils I colored the image in. I then cut the image out and layered it on dark brown paper and then orange fiber paper that I cut into a faux stamp shape. I added orange ribbon as an accent and then added the faux stamp on top :) and WHA-LAH! I have one more to create, so that should be a fun creation for the weekend....

Happy Crafting!

Fall themed ATC's

I love fall, I think its my favorite season :) I thought I would share these ATC's I have created via the Y! Group USA_Pals... and also share some of my favorite fall quotes while Im at it... Im a bit of a quote collector, so these few are from my collection.

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it,and if I were a birdI would fly about the earthseeking the successive autumns."
