Now I Know My ABCs....



There are a lot of plastic sleeves in this album. Enough for 2 more rounds of ABC ATCs!


These are the most recent ATCs I've received from the group. Arent' they fun?! Has anyone ever eaten Kohlrabi? Teri posted a recipe on the ABC blog. It may look a little scary, but she says it's great!




....next time won't you play with me! I'm in a group of very talented ATC-er's and we've been exchanging cards on a regular basis - weekly to be exact! So when one member asked how do we store ours, I thought I'd share it on my blog.




I found this album years ago while I was out thrift store shopping. I used to look for cheesy novels because you just never know when you'll need a silly phrase or word to add onto your art! Next time you're in a thrift store, check out the book section. Then look for one of "those" novels. I'm telling you, the cheesier, the better! LOL!! Anyway, I like that this album has small plastic individual sleeves in a 4" x 5" size. There's also a decorative slip of paper that sits into each sleeve. I centered my ATCs on this slip of paper and I wrote the title and name of the person who made it on the plastic sleeve. A Sharpie marker worked great for this. And to think, this album sat around collecting dust for several years. Who knew it would serve a purpose down the road.

I'd love to play with you the next time your group does one of these! Just let me know when and where to sign up :)

I need to put together some kind of book with sleeves for the cruise atc's. I'm glad you posted this so it would remind me that I need to add that to my list!

Oh that's just great Linda. What a super find and thanks for the tip about the books, I would never have thought of it.

I like this way of keeping your ABC ATCs.
