Self expression!

Hello!!!
I am part of a FB group called Mixed Media ATC Swap and have been working on my set of ATC's to be swapped.
The theme is Altered Magazine.
We had to make ATC's using Magazines and altering the images... thought it was going to be easy, but I did have a very hard time creating this set of ATC's.
Here is what I created:

Tittle: Mujer de Oro

Tittle: Pieces 

Title: Visitors

Tittle: In the end...

Tittle: Broken

Tittle: Beautiful Me

Tittle: Tangled Self

Hope you like them!
Hugs,
Julia
