Atc RAKs and Postcard for a Swap

12 - 18 February is RAK week and 17 February is RAK day. I am in an ATC swap group and thought it would be a good idea if we randomly selected people in the group to send ATC RAKs too. Today I made five to send out.

I am also in a postcard swap for UKStampers FB group, so carrying on with the same theme as the RAKs, I made this quick postcard, the theme is faces. It's very plain as it has to be posted naked, ie as it is, no envie or anything!

RAK

As it's RAK (Random Act of Kindness) week from 12th - 18th February and RAK day 17th February, I suggested to a FB group I'm in that it would be a great idea if we did this amongst ourselves. There are only 7 of us in our closed group, so not too difficult to arrange. One person in the group pm'd everyone the name of the person we are to make for. The person we make for isn't necessarily the person we receive from, so it's a bit like a secret Santa I guess.

Anyway this is what I made from pieces of mdf and chipboard. All products are from DecoArt.

I hope she likes it xx

Altered Book RAK From Kath aka LazyKay

This altered book was made for me as a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) by my good friend Kath aka LazyKay. The front cover is amazing. The image is printed onto fabric. The outside 'frame' has been heated and bubbled to create a fantastic effect, it's all squidgey!!!!

Images and such wonderful quotes have been added to the inside pages. Kath is excellent at finding fitting quotes

The texture on the left hand page is stunning, and I just love the image on the right with the piece of the jigsaw missing - perfect

Another stunning textured background on the left and obviously I just love the colours

But this has to be my favourite page. The spoon set in the remainder of the pages is fantastic

The drizzle around the frame and the felt box inside - wonderful

Close up of the fantastic spoon, just look how the handle had been twisted

And the acknowledgement in the back accompanied by another fantastic quote

This is the back cover and the spine

The book from the side, sporting the thick piece where the spoon is sitting

Thanks Kath, it really is fantastic and I know my photos don't do it justice, but I just wanted to share your creation with everyone - Thanks again, Sam xxxxx
