Family and Rak attack!

Over on the docrafts forum I belong to a few monthly swaps. The first is called the Rak attack. There are about 100 members and one person is chosen at random to receive Raks from all the others - Honestly the postie wonders what on earth is going on! So the above is my Rak attack for May. Stamps are stampin up and the inks adirondack.

The next is called the PIF swap There is a list given out every month and you send an atc to the person who is below you on the list - you Pass it forward - hence the Pif swap. The twist is the atc must include that months word which for May is family.

I thought this stamp by Crafty Individuals was perfect for the swap as the birds do look like family - some being quiet and listening and others shouting at the top of their voice!. Ive done the layering stamping thing again and as the stamp was a postcard I have added a wax seal in the corner where the stamp would be which just happens to say family! Simple matting and layering brings it up to atc size. Im hoping that has already reached Heather and that she likes it x

Am on a late shift today so scooting off shortly but then have 2 days off again - this is a brilliant week! Tomorrow we celebrate National scrapbook day with my Craft group so I hope I remember my camera!

Happy Friday folks and thanks for stopping by - those comments sure lift my day xx
