A Bunch of LTC/ATC's too cool to miss

Here are some ATC/LTC's from different groups or singles that are just too cool not to show the world.


Let's start with a cool drink from Marmalade Called " South Seas Adventures, Please may I have another"


Delicious isn't it? We can sit back and sip it as be we look over the other cards."



Well if we are going to have a nice refreshing drink we might as well have a snack too while we peruse the cards.

Here is a yummy Jello snack from Mah Jongg Queen that she created for my Abstract Ring.

So now that we have treats, let's look at some of the cards that are too cool to miss.

This card was carved by Esmerelda and it is called "Woodston Fishing Station, St, Cyrus, Scotland.

Esmerelda writes:

High on the cliffs overlooking the North Sea in Scotland, this Bed and Breakfast was a magical step back in time for me. Peaceful beyond words it was as though I had finally found the place I had been long been searching for.

Some Day I will return

This next ATC I made out of scraps from other LTC/ATC's. I call it Firefly.

She consists of a little bit of this and that but it still turn out a very pretty card.

I created this LTC for the 2009 Christmas ormament exchange. You will find here a picture of the card I made as well as the ornament that I made that the card based based on.

This is the ornament I made for the 2009 swap.

For part of the Egyptian ring NSFBeads created this masterpiece of Canonic Jars.These jars were used by the Ancient Egyptians to store the internal organs removed during the mummification .

This card is called "Scottish Thistle" and was created by by Capt.Raehawk. Sometimes it is the simplicity of a card that is what makes it so beautiful.

Our final card tonight is another masterpiece from mrstrwndl. He calls it " I go to sleep to dream."

SPECIAL FEATURED ARTIST - Mstrwndl

Last year I was blessed with the opportunity to meet Campfire Lady and Marmalade when they came to Victoria and I was still living in the area. During our long discussion about LTC's, it was recommended that I contact Mstrwndl as he did amazing carving. Needless to say, I did just that and we had a nice big trade.

So today I am going to feature a some of the cards in his Home Town Series. He feels that he has much better cards than these but I think they are amazing. I plan to feature more of his cards in the future.

I asked Mstrwndl to give me a little background info about each of the locations in the cards just for fun. His remarks will be in blue.

My Home Town

The Little Brown Church in the Vale. This is a beautiful card that looks like the kind of church every little girl wants to have her dream wedding in! The Little Brown Church In The Vale is a halfhearted rendition of the Pioneer church at Cannonsburg Old Time Village here in town. 200 years ago Murfreesboro was Cannonsburg and the capital of Tennessee. That was what the church looked like then.

The detail on this card is amazing! Carving all the clapboard and windows must have taken ages. Rosie's Boarding House is still there on East Main Street. It has been there since I can remember. I don't remember it being anything else but a bed and breakfast.

This carve is so cool, so detailed, it makes me want to go and eat there right now! The Slick Pig Café is a little building out east of town that used to be the local beer store. They closed it down and the man that bought it has won blue ribbons for BBQ and hot wings.

The Fillin' Station is an awesome rendition of an old gas station. It's very nostalgic looking. The Fillin' Station was an old gas station that was turned into a speakeasy around 1940. It remained a pub for the next 60 years and was finally demolished. The whole time it was a bar the bubble pumps remained out front. Of course the tanks were dry, but the pumps remained.

Pete's Package House looks like the cutest outhouse you have ever seen. Pete's Package House from afar looks like an old fashioned outhouse, but upon further inspection it produces some of Tennessee's finest sipping whiskey. It too is east of town and about 13 miles outside of the city limits.

And just to finish of this showcase of amazing cards from Mstrwndl is one of his famous portrait carvings that he is so well known for. This card was the 7th image in the I Go To Sleep To Dream LTC Ring.

Let's all show Mstrwndl just how amazing his work but telling him about in in the comments section.
