Our new money pit and some ATCs

Our new money pit has arrived. It is already filled with dog hair and the seat covers have little muddy footprints thanks to our wet (I'm over it already) weather and I haven't even had a ride in it yet.

On a more important note (well at least more important to me) I have finally caught up with the Weekly ATC diary.

Weekly ATC Diary - Week 2

This has got to be some sort of record for me. More than one blog post in a week and doing challenge before the eleventh hour. Liz and De posted the next challange on the weekly ATC diary blog (http://weekly-atc-diary.blogspot.com/). This weeks theme was summer and my ATC was inspired by the fly on both Liz's and De's cards. One of my memories of summer is going being down to the creek to escape the heat, hearing the cicadas and watching the vibrant jewelled dragonflies dart about. So for this theme I chose a dragonfly.

The background is ditress inks and glimmermist, the grass is embossed in copper (mainly because the stamping didn't stand out much, as for that neither did the VIBRANT word rubon). The dragonfly was printed on transparency and stuck onto more misted card because it didn't stand out either. Now I've gone and really talked it up, it actually doesn't look half bad IRL.
