Headlines ATC
It’s Monday…and the sun is shining so it can’t be all that bad, can it? Don’t forget to check out the ATS forum….tonight is the release of the new sets I posted the past few days!
Today I thought I’d share an ATC I made recently for a swap. I started with the word stamp and designed my ATC around that. I hoped that my ATC would look like a bed and I needed a pillow to go along with the theme. I didn’t have any pillow stamps though and I couldn’t find any pillow clip art that I liked so I drew the pillow by hand. Then I drew lines on the pillows with a liquid glue and applied white fun flock to look like corduroy material. It still needed something else so I decided that the little AMuse teddy bear would look great on there. I glittered his shirt with some Stickles to make him stand out.
The sheets on the bed were actually made into a little pocket. Then I stamped and attached the words to the pillow so they slip into the pocket when the pillow is in place. I have had this unmounted stamp with the words for several years now. I picked it up at the Creative Mode booth at a stamp convention. When I went to use it, I knew that the word corduroy was not spelled as it should be. But I figured there must be two ways to spell it?? It wasn’t until now that I actually looked it up on dictionary.com and realized that the company did indeed spell it incorrectly. They have already been swapped and I know that spelling can bug me, so I apologize to those who will receive this! I plan to cut the stamp apart and fix it somehow. It’s going on my to-do list! Despite the mis-spelling, I hope the recipients get a little chuckle from it. Have a great Monday!

I’m a firm believer that if you’re going to misspell something, go ahead and do it in the most public way you can. Billboards were always my favorites, but misspelling a word on a stamp is almost as good! Anyway, this is a cute sentiment. Headlines! Love it!
Diane…this is so cute!! I love the pillow, it looks stamped to me….and cordorouy or however you actually spell it has always been a hard word for me.
Oh, this is just darling. I love your corduroy pillow.
Maybe it’s the Canadian spelling…you know they way their words sometimes have a “u” added to them, like colour. I would never have known and I’m so used to seeing these words spelled that way! Very creative and so cute!
OK, I just got the joke! I’m a little slow! Headlines….LOL!
I’m thinking it’s the Brit way of spelling, colour has an extra u across the pond! It’s very cute, love the fuzzy courduroy. TOD
