Thought I was going to get back into the routine of regular blogging months ago. Didn’t happen. Once again.
Spent most of the time on here upgrading WP and tweaking several templates. I kept changing my mind on which one to use. There were a few I really liked graphic design wise however when it came to the coding not so much. So many templates now have a generate code in the footer that links to web sites that I didn’t think the few visitors I get now after my long hiatus( this word in my case should say slacker.) would be interested in seeing. Not wanting to scare anyone off or send them to an up loader I ditched them.
I did a few ATC’s a while back that I meant to post a wile back. Not to happy with the first one but I do like the second one. I should start posting my LO in my empty scraps page. Still working on shadows mine tend to be the same each time.
Stuff from the Gypsy Chick @ Scrapartist and Tangie Baxter @ Tangie Baxter Designs. Throw in with a few things from my collection of vintage.
Stuff from Paint The Moon (Annie Manning) @ Oscraps and Tracy Ann @ Tracy Ann Digital Art along with a few things from my collection.

You would think I would get around to actually writing a post, would you ? But no I ‘m here with another challenge for ATC’s. I promise I was going to post but when I came to do that and add my challenge stuff I had to update Wordpress to the lastest version and all my plugins. This one is from The Loft, Tangie Baxter’s Design Blog. She came out with a new kit for ATC at her shop
> I have two entries for the challenge. One I think doesn’t fit but I’ve been wanting to try a digital gothic arch window ATC.
Without further ado here they are
A St Paddy Day’s greeting
