ATC's (Aug 2017)

Hi Fellow Crafters

Attached are my ATC swaps for August 2017

Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organised "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5".

I really enjoyed making these as they are smaller then normal cards which means they are quicker. Furthermore, their small size allows me to practice techniques and have fun.

A little bit about me

Hi Everyone,

How are we all today?

Well, I thought I had better introduce myself a little bit to start the blog off before I get into the crafty side of my life.

So let's begin...

My name is Naomi and I am 29 years of age. I live in Kent, UK with my 4 children - 3 boys and a girl ranging in ages from 4 - 10. My oldest has autism and ADHD and my other 2 boys are awaiting diagnosis/assessment for little problems they have too.

I am currently a stay at home mum and I am also studying for a BA (hons) degree with the Open University in Combined Social Science with Politics. I am about to embark on my final year with my last module with will begin in the new academic year and I am due to graduate this time next year. It will have most definitely been a very trying 6 years but I can't wait to finally have my degree.

I also volunteer weekly at one of the local Brownie units. I have been involved with Girl Guiding since I was 5 by becoming a Rainbow and working my way through the sections until becoming a leader over 10 years ago. I am currently the assistant brownie guider at the unit I am working with and have been there for over 2 years.

So what about the crafty side of my life? Well, I have always enjoyed craft from a young age and I have tried quite a variety of different things like glass painting, silk painting, calligraphy and cross stitching (to name a few). However, very recently I have been intrigued and am now trying my hand at card making. I'm still very much a newbie with this hobby but I must say, so far, I am loving it and learning new tips and techniques everyday, especially with die cutting and stamping.

Hope you enjoy looking at my blog and seeing my crafty makes 

Crafty Hugs to all

Little Wolf 🐺🐾
