Cardamom Moon - I am currently 2 states away from my craft room but flying home tomorrow. As I was trying to bring the makings for 4 swaps and preparation for this ATART, my suitcase didn’t carry much clothing and I will have to find my craft room when I return.��
As I am in a state with daylight saving we only have 2 hours till we can start (1 hour ahead of Queensland).
I will be unable to load anything while in transit so I look forward to seeing what you all have made while I am incommunicado.

Sounds easy, but it's not. I start cleaning, then I find something interesting....and the next moment I make more mess.
I can identify with THIS!

I'm glad to hear it's an international problem and not just me!!

Thank you! There are also a kitchen corner, a fire place, a Christmas tree and a sofa bed in the room and that's pretty much everything I have here in my house

First couple of cards using wrapping paper.
Winter Cheers snowman using one wrapping paper image, layered background. I made the words using my old Dymo labeler. (Holding for Sanna)
Santa with Presents - was from two wrapping papers (santa from one, the gifts from another). (Holding for Donnacr)

4x6 inch tip-ins
A few Australian animals came to New Jersey on Holiday to experience a white Christmas. 
On Holiday 1
On Holiday 2
On Holiday 3
The backgrounds are photos I took either during or after a snow storm and then altered digitally.

KESagers, thank you! I wasn’t sure what to do with the wrapping paper but fussy cutting seemed to work!
What are tip ins? I’ll have to look them up. Love your backgrounds. 
It's another beautiful day!

Thank you! Tip-ins (as I understand them) are sized 4x6 inches to be glued or "tipped into" a journal with pages of the same size. They are supposed to be flat - I think - so even flatter than an ATC which does limit embellishments but it's a good challenge for me. Their size also makes it easy to put them in a regular photo album for standard 4x6 photos here in the US. For awhile they were pretty popular on this site and I was able to make a few trades. However I will trade for any type of art.
