Gone to the dogs....

Tomorrow night is our monthly Ink Spots stamp club meeting.  We have an ATC swap each month and the theme for this month was Dog Days of August.  Of course, I used dog stamps.  I combined 2 retired sets (that I'm hanging on to) for my ATCs.  I used some brown & white cardstocks from my extensive stash of the last 15+ years, brown embossing powder (from my stash of LOTS), VersaMark ink and Burnt Umber PH ink.  They are pretty simple as ATCs are not my cup of tea.


Here's all 10.  I took 2 days on these as nothing was coming together.  I had eyelets, scrappers floss, buttons, and more on my work table as I worked on these.  Just nothing was working for me.  Do you have projects like that??



And the close up.  I have to admit that when I photo my projects I use a white sheet and my OTT light.  Then I have to brighten the photo in Photo Shop.  Still seems dull.  Usually it's too windy outside to take pics.  I can't afford a special photo box but may have to grab another lamp. Oh well...

I like them!!! Isn't it funny how sometimes the most simple ones give us the most headaches?? I think they will be a hit.
