ATC Swap - Identity - Received

Finally the ATCs are here. Mangosteenskin had to repost them to me, since I was not around when she sent them earlier and the mail was sent back to her. Thanks so much Mangosteenskin for resending!

I received ATCs by Emila, Cima and JiwaSintetik. Mangosteenskin included her hand-drawn key chain and I love it! It's so cute and I love the patterns. She included something else, which I love the most and it's a wearable item. I'll see if I can wear it and pose for a photo. :)

I'd like to say thank you to Rizal for the award above. I hope it's not too late! Have a great weekend everyone!

ATC Swap - Identity

I'm on a PINK roll! LOL!

I made a Mother's Day card for my mom yesterday and today I made 4 ATCs for a swap.

The theme, Identity was chosen by Mangosteenskin as she's the hostess for the swap. I was supposed to make 3, but I made an extra ATC for Mangosteenskin.

I made the ATCs using textured paper, rubber stamped images of daisy, butterfly and bee, brads and other embellishments.

At first, I wanted to make zentangle ATCs, but then everyone else make zentangles too, so it's not really my identity. Then, I chose to use the theme colours of my blog, which are dark pink and purple to represent myself.

The bee symbolises my name, Debbie aka Day-Bee. Debbie is the short form of Deborah, even though in my IC, it's just Debbie. =) It is of Hebrew origin, which means "bee".

The daisy and butterfly symbolise the girlish side of me. The glitter on some of the embellishments mean that I like some attention, sometimes. Notice that each ATC is different? That means that I like to different from others and it also means that I am fickle-minded. LOL!

I've never swapped ATCs before, so this is really exciting!

I have a few more things to do:

• make another Mother's Day card
• think of ideas for this month's blog giveaway
• post these ATCs to Mangosteenskin
• post April's blog giveaway to Mariuca
• post some swaps
• do some swap shopping! =)

Happy weekend everyone!
