I don't 'do' ATCs

Well I do  now!

Sara of Cardmaking Paradise  was hosting an Internations ATC swap when  I logged on to the forum after bringing Mr Lottie back from hospital.    I was pretty tired (understatement) and had lots to 'worry' about - but I thought this was just the challenge I needed to distract me - and it did.

You can read all about it here  and see all the fabulous entrants.  There was a nice long lead in date so it gave me enough time to get my act together.

Yesterday our packages came back.  There was a tutorial on how to made a little book to put them all in.  I am useless at doing things like that - but it was so simple and the ATCs were so lovely that I got stuck in last night and made it!


 We had to make eight ATCs and I made an extra one for myself which I stuck on the front of holder
I was over the moon with the ones I received

Thank you everyone I am thrilled to bits.


It's a fantastic little ATC holder and I have room for 4 more ATC's !!


Not that I am hinting any CMP friends

Great idea making a spare atc for the cover of your book. I agree it was a fabulous swap and like you it distracted the mind from other events going on in my life. Loved your atcs but I didn't get a Lottie original - hopefully next time!

Love your ATC holder and must bear in mind that you have some spare space the next time I make an ATC:) Why didn't it cross my mind to make an extra one for the cover??? That was inspired! I love my Lottie original :)

ATC's are such fun - they don't require a whole lot of time to make and they don't take up a lot of space either, so overall they're a win/win. You received some really nice ones!

Lovely little collection and what a great idea to make an extra for yourself - it makes a great cover on the super little book!

ATCs are such fun to do and give you lots of room to experiment - I love 'em! You've certainly displayed your collection to fine effect in that accordian folder.
