My inner self was craving pink, sequins, glitter, pretty girls, angels, fairies...
after all the Fall oranges and blacks, it was like a coming home.
So I spent some time making pretty little things that brought a smile to my heart.
... like these "fairy dresses"
They were created to showcase the stick pins I made for my partner, Victoria, for the stick pin swap hosted by Tee at The Altered Paper.
The set included five pretty paper dresses, each with two coordinating pins.
... each was embellished to my heart's content!
...these two were not pink, but equally lovely in shades of green and lavender.
Thank you,Tee, for hosting such a fun swap!
I also worked on a few new ATC's, again succumbing to my inner need to use lots of pretties.
"Dreaming of Childhood"
I tried something a bit different with this ATC; using textiles for my background and lots of three-dimensional touches.
"The Queen"
She has a rather austere look, so I thought it would be fun to soften her a bit with some femme touches. I'm loving the use of ribbon on the ATCs!
"My Mother is a Lady"

Wishing you a lovely weekend!
I'm joining Beverly's Pink Saturday party and sharing my paper pinks.
oh my... what lovely dresses. I wonder if they will fit me ?
Kisses, joey.
