Celebrate Spring ATC Swap...

 Finally I was able to participate in an ATC swap with Kimberly of ArtJoyStuff blog. I have always wanted to join in on this fun as I always heard such raves from others who participated. I got my swap package.  Thank  you Kimberly for hostessing this and for doing such a wonderful job.  Everyone was so right!
This postcard was included in the package.  Kimberly took a tag she created and added a doily, buttons and  a ribbon bow to have the postcard reflect her style.

This beautiful butterfly tag was tied on the package.  I love butterflies and Celebrate Spring was the swap theme.  My six for six ATCs were wrapped in a lovely sheet of scrapbook paper...hmmm future projects.

 Here are the ATCs I received.  I adore them all.  Each one so unique and beautiful. The Celebrate Spring theme was definitely followed by these creative talented people.  Thank you to Sylvia, Lynn, Liz, Troy, Karen and Danielle.  I simply feel spoiled with these additions to my ATC collection.

Here is the next swap that Kimberly is hosting.  April in Paris.  Did you say that in your mind or did you sing that in your mind?  I always sing it.  Check out her blog for details as you still have time to enter.
I have loved ATCs since I discovered them.  The size of a standard playing card...2.5" x 3.5" is such a fun size to work with.  Other than size the possibilities are endless for artistic expression.
Now I must leave my computer and get outside for the limited non rainy snowy day we are having.  Mr. C and I will be planting a couple of new David Austin roses to enjoy.
Happy Spring and Birds that sing and all new growth and flowers and joyful play to each of you...

  3. Oooh your ATC's are wonderful! I love them too. They are what got me into blogging! I started about 8 years ago and have boxes and books filled with them. It was really fun to host and be a part of all those fun swaps. Glad you're having fun too!
