Two hearts

I've been thinking about Rubber Dance -challenge,
the colors are so yammy and beautiful,
but didn't see anything like that in my shelves
-until I did realize that I have paints, just like
the challenge colors.


So I started to make couple of ATC's ....


After paints, stamping, some DP's, embossing, rub-ones, enamel dots and 
chippies I had this wedding (?) card, go figure ....
Onnea is Finnish and means Congratulations.

Sweet Stamping has a embossing theme,
so I'll enter their challenge also.

Curious set of ATC's



Dream in Darkness have a great sponsor this month:


I was looking into her fab sheets and saw this:


And my mind strated wandering and wondering things like...


Why is it that women should be so slim 
but still have awesome boobs and behind...


When you are spreading your wings .. 
do others look at you hoping to see you fly or fall..

AND


When life gives you treats it sometimes reveals to be a trick ... and vice versa.

Hmmmm!

But, to some challenges I'd like to enter with my ATC's:
Aurora Wings - Vintage
SLS - Half-o-ween (the last ATC)
Lunagirl - Sisters (the first ATC)
