Looking for ACNL Amiibo Cards

My husband bought me a copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf for our wedding anniversary (which isn’t for another 25 days, but shush), and I’m OBSESSED. Seriously, what have I been missing all this time?! What an awesome game!

And now I’m also obsessed with collecting Amiibo cards. My daughter and I have managed to track down most of the cat villagers, and I’ve just managed to find Skye’s Amiibo card in the US and Cookie’s in Canada, but there are some that I just can’t seem to find. If there’s anyone on here that also collects these awesome little doodads and would fancy having some artwork done in exchange for their Amiibo cards then check out this list below of who I’m looking for:

Whitney

Rudy

Fauna

Cherri

Ankha

Vesta

Pecan

Marcel

Pekoe

Tom

Savannah

Tia

Francine

Rover

Goldie

Eric

I’d like to trade a 5x7" traditional painting of your favourite villager in exchange for any of the cards above. If you have more than one I’m looking for and you’d like to trade, then feel free to pick as many villagers as you have the cards <3

As these cards aren’t region locked, this is open worldwide :) I’d like to try to focus on as many positive things as I can right now, even if it’s something as silly as some little animal villagers asking me to get fruit off a tree they’re standing right next to :D

Please send me a message if you’re interested in this :) If you’d prefer another character outside of ACNL, but still on the same kind of wavelength in terms of style (like characters from Legend of Zelda, Mario, Splatoon etc. or others outside Nintendo) then please do still send me a message.

Here's a close up of the little fox in the middle of my latest embroidery 💜 the fox herself is around 6.5", with the writing around the edge making up the rest of the 8" hoop 💜 . . #needlepainting #embroidery #stars #moon #fox #embroideredart #hoopart #hoop #cute #commission

[anwenatelier]

And she's all done! 💜 Yay! This 8" hoop has been so much fun to work on, I can't wait to wrap her up and get her shipped to her new home! #commission #hoop #hoopart #embroideredart #fox #cute #moon #stars #embroidery #needlepainting

On the home run now with just the writing around the outside to do, yay! #embroidery #fox #cute #embroideredart #hoopart #hoop #commission

I’ve been doing a lot of studying recently with CGCookie, so this piece has been all about applying what I learnt there, but also what I’ve learnt from the amazing chap that is TsaoShin, whose YouTube videos have taught me an immense amount about digital painting. So this is the result of the past couple of days :) I don’t think I’ve had this much fun with digital painting ever, and I can’t wait to get going on another piece soon. I also created this as a little gift to my wonderful friend Tony, as Sylveon is one of his top Pokemon <3 I’ve got some more little gifts to get done for my beautiful friends over the next couple of weeks before Christmas, so I’m super excited to get started on those really soon!

I’ve got some really awesome news coming soon too, which I can’t wait to share with everyone :D

Please don’t repost, reblog instead! Yay!

Very nearly finished this cute little babbi 💜 I estimate around 3 more days of work before sending it on SpeedymcSpeedy post to the US in time for Xmas 🎄 #embroidery #fox #commission #cute #hoopart #embroideredart #hoop #embroider #anwenatelier #needlepainting

I am rarely one for selfies (like at all.) but I couldn't help take a picture of Teddy giving me cuddles tonight. He proper snuggled down into my chin and let out this content, squeaky little sigh and I swear all of my problems just melted away instantly. #teddy #russianblue #teddytoebeans #cat #teddycat #anwenatelier #personal #selfie #catcuddles #catselfie

And some progress on my little fox commission :) #handembroidery #embroidery #silkshading #hoopart #fox #cutefox #cartoon #commission #embroideredart #hoopart #hoop #anwenatelier

[anwenatelier]

More progress on Gardevoir's eye embroidery :) #commission #pokemon #sewing #plushies #plush #embroidery #handembroidery #silkshading #plushmaking

[anwenatelier]

Hand embroidering eyes for plushies takes a long time but the results are so worth it. I know the machines are quick, but they're also quite stressful to set up and use. By sewing absolutely everything by hand, there's an amazing connection with the things I create and it's really relaxing. This will eventually go on to be a fully articulated Shiny Mega Gardevoir plush <3 . I've got a lot of plushies to post this weekend, so if you're still waiting on yours please keep your eyes open for an email soon! #shonygardevoir #gardevoir #pokemon #handembroidery #embroidery #plush #plushie #plushdolls #plushies #sewing #pokemon #commission

I’m so happy right now there is nothing wrong now

[thathardcorekid]

Honestly

[anwenatelier]

This made me smile an awful lot <3 I remember the moments when both of my kids first went into a fit of the giggles as babies and it was amazing. My son, when I kept squidging his cheeks with his own hands, and my daughter at Charlie Bear on CBeebies knocking down some bricks. She also lost it at that moment in The Rescuers Down Under when Joanna tries eating the eagle eggs and doesn't realise they're rocks.

listen.

even if trump wins, it doesn’t mean it’s over. congress will not let him do most of what he wants to do (i mean, a lot of it’s unconstitutional, lmao). even if they do, it will a take a long time, perhaps even bleeding over into the next president’s term (and i hope to god that next president is a democrat). so do not assume that everything he proposes will happen! and voting is not our only way to participate in the government. protest. lobby. fight. don’t just accept a trump victory. if he wins, we need to fight harder than ever. we can’t give up. we can mitigate the effects of a trump presidency, but we need to fight.

millennials are a powerful group. we can make our voices heard. i know it’s scary. but it’s more important than ever to fight. don’t give trump an easy victory. fight as hard as you can for the entire 4 years he might be president. and help each other, protect each other. lift up your head and fight together. it’s easy to be discouraged, but the fight is not over.

i’m scared, too. i’m scared for my life. and take the time you need to take a deep breath and get away from everything for a little while. but in the end, if trump wins, we cannot make that easy for him. people are making a trump presidency seem like doomsday right now, but congress, checks and balances, and the actions of people – like us – can stop most of it from happening. the only bad thing that is really guaranteed to happen under a trump presidency is the appointment of some conservative supreme court justices (but even then congress has to approve them).

so tl;dr: if trump wins, the fight is not over. take a deep breath and hold your head high. he cannot, and will not, do everything that he’s proposed. so keep fighting and don’t let him destroy everything we’ve worked for.

All of us non Americans waiting for the results of the american presidential election knowing full well we all die if they elect the orange clown 

[lenfaz]

This. all of this.

[anwenatelier]

Trump now has a 95% chance of becoming president. I'm honestly in shock. I don't understand how the US system works, but is there still a chance that the senate can do anything to kinda lessen the impact this man WILL have on the rest of the world? Is that how the US democracy works?

My heart can't take the fact that a man who so openly hates - to the point of wanting to wipe them out - groups of people, sees women as someTHING that needs to be controlled and is there for their taking as and when they please, and defies logic on a daily basis is now almost certain to become President of what I thought was the most beautiful, free country in the world.

2016 has been a very dark year, but the next four I predict are going to get a whole lot worse.

This is the third time I’ve seen this today and I LOVE IT! This this this!.

[hello-beaniebeanie]

The dude behind this just posted an update (on twitter and maybe other places I dunno) and it’s still great!

Reblogging. I love this guy. And he is from my hometown. Hamburg citizens rule! (Obviously, we do not call ourselves “Hamburgers”)

[anwenatelier]

I've stayed out of the whole American presidential campaign as I'm from the UK, and feel like it's not my right to offer an opinion either way, but I am legitimately scared about the outcome of this election, because either way it goes, a lot of people are going to suffer because of Trump. And it worries me. Speaking to my best friend, who lives in Michigan, she says that there are literally no support banners around for either party, not because they don't like them, but out of FEAR of what their neighbours will do if they disagree.

And for that, I am very, very scared. There will be nowhere to hide, and even over here in the U.K., it is really having a massive impact. Our politicians here are pansies in comparison to the giants that have become Clinton and Trump. Ours throw playground insults at each other over ordering giant stone tablets engraved with party manifestos, or using Twitter wrong. I've so far seen FBI investigations, allegations of rape and child abuse, sex rings, tax scandals and the list could go on.

Either way it goes, it is going to be a very dark couple of years ahead for the whole world.

So in these times of difficulty, please remember to love each other and be there for one another, tolerate each other's differences and be kind. Life is tough for everyone, some of us hide it better than others so just remember to be compassionate; you don't know what the other person is going through. One stupid throwaway remark or petty insult can be the breaking point for someone. I've been there. It was a very dark time and the only reason I've made it through these past few months is because of the kindness and compassion shown to me by others.

Good luck to all of my beautiful friends in America ❤️
