It "Moose" be an ATC swap!

Ok, you can call me a blog slacker because I haven't posted anything all week, but I really have been busy...and just finished coloring these silly moose images for an ATC swap!

I rarely sign up for swaps anymore, but I do enjoy creating ATC's and Terry {Scrappinuts} at The Stamp Shack convinced me to join her moose ATC swap. My first excuse was that I didn't have any moose rubber stamps, but how could I say no when she offered to stamp and send me the images?! :) This cute little postage stamp moose is by Darcie's Heart & Home Rubber Stamps.

The images were colored in with prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. I have to give you a hint on how I cut these out because it really saved some time with tedious cutting. I used my 1/8 " circle hand punch to punch holes in the 'dips' around the edge. Then I simply cut around the rest! Trust me, it was much easier. After cutting them out, I distressed the edges. And speaking of distressed, I was seriously stumped on what else to do with this ATC. Did I need a saying or sentiment of some kind? I wasn't sure and I could not conjour up any "moose" sayings. So I sorted through my stack of rubber stamps and found "best fishes" in my Stampin Up "Very Punny" set. Not exactly what I had in mind, but all I had! :/

Now, I need to get these packaged up and in the mail to Terry in California. Then, I'll look forward to seeing all the other moose creations. That's the enjoyment of swapping!

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Stamping & Smiles 2 U! ~ Pam :)
