4th Anniversary Giveaway #3
Incredibly clever Carolyn Brady has a talent for combining Ten Two studios products in ways I would never have thought. Last year, she made these heart pocket ATCs, using the pattern is from the February 2008 issue of The Monthly Muse. She decorated the pockets with images from the Little Men collage sheet, and filled them with Twenties Teasers tags. On the backs for the tags is text from an old newspaper article about a female con artist impersonating Russian nobility.
Leave a little comment love for Carolyn, and you’ll be entered in today’s 4th anniversary drawing for a free subscription to The Monthly Muse—and also, in the drawing on the 5th for FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF COLLAGE GOODIES. Remember, comment love, not “enter me in the drawing”!
UPDATE: The winner of today’s drawing for a free six month subscription to The Monthly Muse is…

Ohhhh, love those. Hearts as pockets, what a cute idea.
Carolyn, these ATCs are a stitch! You can’t help but smile at these wicked, wicked ladies (just look at their cheeky grins!) and their spurned suitors! Great work, and thanks for sharing!
Carolyn;
What a cleaver combination of materials to tell amazing stories!!!
Thank you for sharing your talents. What an inspiration!!

Great concept and theme, love the colours and the heart pockets!
Hi Carolyn! These are lovely and very interesting. I like the idea of the article on the back of the tags. These would make for a different kind of Valentine. Thanks for sharing. Sally
Love these! The look on the women’s faces … can’t tell if they are the jilted lovers or if they are doing the jilting LOL!
What a clever idea! I love the little heart shaped pockets and the images on the Twenties Teasers tags are just gorgeous!
This is an interesting use of the tags. I quite often draw a blank when it comes to unique ways to use the tags. Thanks for the great idea! Yet another wonderful design.
Have a sunny day!
Ur Vintage pockets are so inspirational. ur creative talent is extrodinary,
thanu for ur share
LOL how cute are those!! makes you smile smile smile! I agree that those faces make you wonder who did the jilting!
Oh, I love a bad girl, and they do look bad! Great idea.
These are great! That look in the eyes of those women !!! The newspaper story for the back is a great idea.
Carolyn, love your creative way of using those images! I need to use pockets more.
Love the combination of it all!
My fave part of these is the use of the old label maker. A very nice touch.
love the size ratio of the woman’s face to the man’s… what is it about photos of women in the twenties that is so appealing? because they wore HATS! maybe they will come back into fashion someday.
So cute – I love the feisty look in their eyes. Who says women had no power…
As always Carolyn,you come up with the coolest ideas! I love the wording you made with the Label Buddy.
+ of course the “innocent” looking lady…hahaha. Where do you look for inspiration?
Very cool. Love the pocket idea. Really like the text.
Carolyn these ATC are too cute. Thanks for sharing your work.
Really wonderful Carolyn!
Oh, I love tags! So cute and so many ways to use them. Nice work!
I love the label maker…the perfect vintage touch to a very cool idea.
totally won my heart with the purple and time worn images…..
I love the “snarky” attitude of these cards. They make me smile!!
Very clever composition, as if the woman is hiding in the pockets! It makes a real statement, even without the info on the back. Very cool!
Great use of the vintage photos, and I always love a new way to use those tags!
The tags are beautiful! I love the images and the colors
Very nice…love the label words! Are the hearts fabric? Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea to let heart pockets tell a story by a tag. This idea can be used in a lot of other occassions.
OMG this is just too cute. I love the quote!!!
I love tags! These are cute and simple. I love the airbrushed look too. Thanks for the great pictures.
Carolyn these are really nice. Never thought to combine atc pockets with tags. Keep those great ideas coming.
very neat, love the pocket, can do a lot with them, and the lady.
Wonderful ATC and tags. Will have to remember this Valentines Day.
Love the vintage tags!
Pocket ATC’s are like a two-for-one special! Thanks for sharing your creative work, Carolyn.
I live the idea of the newspaper article on the back of the tags.
Clever switch on the jilted lover theme! I like the pocket idea, too. Great job.

These Heart pockets are lovely. Fabulous tags to insert too. Thank you for the oppertunity to win.
Great idea for a pocket! And LOVE those tags. I really like how the ladies loom over the “little men”. Nice color choices as well. Lovely work.
Carolyn, I love these! They are so cleverly sone. I have these 20′s tags and have not thought to put into a pocket. May have to try this! Kathy Eddy
I love the heart pockets and the women tags, pockets of any kind are great. Nice job! Sue
Heart pockets — what a great idea!
I love them!
Happy creating,
Birgit
Wow! These are so cute and clever. I absolutely love the pretty, vintage ladies.
Ok, now those are just cool, especially because you put a story on the back of them. It’s like a secret hidden surprise, to say “Hey, don’t just look at the gorgeous eye candy…there’s more to the story.” Beautifully executed!
Very neat tags, Carolyn..I like the jilted / scorned idea… something that isn’t usually done.
Very creative, love the hue of purple pink arounf the individual tags. Would make a great ATC Valentine’s Day Swap template.
Great idea! I knew I had been hanging on to my label maker from grade school for a reason! maybe if I start now I can have them complete for Valentine’s Day! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the pockets, colors and those naughty ladies .
Fun cards !
