Ocean/Sunset ATCs: Angelika Westermann

From Germany, I have received 7 ATCs from Angelika Westermann! Our swap is a 6 for 6 ATC swap -so Angelika has sent an extra one for me, thank you! She did all of her ATCs in Sunset Colors . . . and the choice is really up to you. You can work with the hues of a sunset, or the colors of the Ocean, or create some of each! Just make sure you send them soon. April 23rd is less than a month away.

Angelika wrote that this swap was a challenge for her because she had never made paper ATCs before, only fabric ATCs. I think you will agree they are great! I am enjoying the variety so far from everyone. :o)

I really enjoyed the back of her ATCs and the titles! 

Here is the extra ATC - love it! 

Thank you Angelika for participating in my creative swaps once again.

I hope to see you back! 

I will have to start brainstorming what we might do next . . . 

Something with Fabric? Postcards? Small books?

Beads? Mail Art? hmmm . . . Ideas for me to entertain are welcome!

#18.Angelika Westermann - Little Book Swap

All the way from Germany, Angelika has sent us 4 wonderful little books. She, like many of my participants, worried about her books! She enclosed a note saying after seeing so many beautiful books on the site, she did not know if hers were really fit for this swap! They are. No worries!  Do your best, be inspired by what you see, or do as some participants do and do not look at the blog until your books are sent. Personally, I like to look!! Well, I guess i have to! I get ideas and I get inspired and then off I go. Do what is best for you. Let the quality of the work encourage you to do your very best.

Here are Angelika's lovely books:

p.s. thank you for the extra painted paper, etc.
