ATC FINALISTS for Creo by Lady Katutz Milestone Contest

Hi!

It's been a week since the Creo by Lady Katutz Milestone Contest has ended.  And I'm now in the judging process and prelimaries since December 2014.  As I did prepare to narrow down my winner's choice down to a few.  All of the entries are beautiful.

Creo by Lady Katutz has a total of (6) contest participants under the ATC Category.

I'd like to thank the atcsforall.com Members {those I was able to converse and communicate with while I was going on daily trading and swap activities to hosting 2nd Generations and Digital ATC swap}. 

I would also like to thank the Philippine Crafters Association and the Filipino Scrapbookers Club, specially the participants of the "Celebrate Family" ATC swap hosted by Ces de Guzman, as they sent in a token and thank you set of artist trading cards as I was their former atc swap activity hostess.

I can't resist not to include all your artist trading cards, both those who sent me artist trading cards as thanks and in friendship, to my CBLK 2014 Milestone Contest under the ATC Category.

For today, I would like to share the works of the 3 Finalists under the Artist Trading Card Category.  They are as follows:

I no longer found out who created the artist trading card for me.  The lot of 4 atcs are done in sweet shade of pink and decorated with quotes and digital images of being a mom and of being a wife and of family.  Thank you so much!!

such lovely monogram atcs with a word for me to remember everything and both of you: mother and son -  Enjoy; Dream and Family.  It is what my own dad would remind me when I was young.  A mantra that I had lived by in my growing up years to see life as an opportunity to enjoy, to dream lots of things that I could be and would want to be and would aspire to be.  And never ever forget to include family as part and parcel in my journey to my Dreams.

Done in traditional papercraft with coloring and paint splatters for the rose atc.

the set of 4 atcs were done in native Filipino fare:  upcycling of handmade materials and recycling with a key to use natural resources.  Advance techniques were utilized with the base and finishing of 2 atcs.  Handmade paper with bits of flora were also made into a simple atc.  And a close-to-burlap make atc with a plant or grass were also captivating to me.  

Truly exotically created and naturally handmade!
