Interest thread-ATC swap #2 Sign ups July 9th 10am

[Downrivermama]

Oooh! I want to play! I just got an order from Stampin Up and after looking at ATC's I want to try some. I really need to start using all the stamps I've got! Grabbed a magazine that had ATC's and they look cool! Me too!

I just don't "get" them...I can't get anything to look right because while I love the look of the stuff other people do, I think when I do it, it looks "messy." Is there a link to some photos of what peeps have done? I have the ATC spinny thing and no ATCs!

Jennifer, I would suggest doing a search on Two Peas. Just type in ATC in the search engine and you will get tons of really creative examples!!

Yay, glad your playing with us! Yes, Peru would be perfect.

BAMB, I will for sure add a Fantasy group. That sounds great.
As far as Gothic, thats like skull and cross bones,but not like Pirates, different. Also it can be like Biker type stuff too. Very dark & punkish.
As far as seasons & monrhs, we just did that in the last swap. So unfortunatley that will have to wait until another round. Thanks for the interest on that. Since everyone didn't receive all their cards for that month.

duh, one would think I would pay attention to stuff like that. LOL

You know I'm in.
I am over my fear of them.

YAY!!!

Okay, I looked through the last thread, holy canoli, 47 pages! First off, I love love love what you all did...Secondly, I don't think I can do it...Thirdly, have you ever heard of drywall tape? It looks exactly like magic mesh, and is much cheaper (and you can color it any color you want with inks and a little heat setting ).

So, I think I will be sitting this one out, but will watch to see your lovely creations! Have fun,

Here's a picture...

Hardware stores sells it.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It comes in yellow too.





That's what I used.

 

[morgansmom2000]

LOL, I went looking for a picture and found that it did!

Thank you for that! My friend keeps telling me to go to Home Depot to get it. Thanks for chatting with us here though. Hopefully you will play with us in the next swap..

morgansmom, I thought I couldn't do them either (yes, after I signed up for like a million groups) but I found some came out great, some were not so brilliant, but its a bit like card candy - stamps really come into their own , and because they are small you can print things out from the internet etc. and they don't look tacky and fuzzy

Have a think about it... I was really daunted when I first did mine, but once Id' done them I found going back to scrapping weird - a 12x12 page seemed HUGE

Mazda, you are soooo right! After doing ATC's 12x12 IS huge. But I still love to do both. MorgansMom, go to Two Peas in a Bucket & then click Memeber Gallery. Then type in ATC's, in the search engine on the left middle area of the screen. There are 1000's of ATC's to look at. You'll fall in love with them.

Don't be afraid of them & don't worry yours will be as good as others. I think everyone should try them. It's all about trying something new & getting out of the closed box that you are use to doing.

After you do them, you will see that your scrapbook pages will get more Artsy & more detailed....

I'm still not an ATC-girl, but wanted to post this on here too - I posted the link on Disney_Rider's Inchies interest thread:

For some inspiration, I like to look at this blog - http://kopperhead100.blogspot.com/ - she hosts swaps of themed ATCS, inchies, twinchies, and such. There are some really creative people on there.

Good luck y'all.

Do you want to ne an angel this time as well? Thanks girlfriend!

I also added a couple more groups. Who knows, I may keep adding, haha. I can always take them away if they don't fill..

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

tell me more about "time"

 

[Michi Belle]

tell me more about "time"

It can be with clocks on it, or speaking of how time passes us by. I always see neat ATC's about time. This group really makes you think.
