Christmas ATCs Group 1
This year I have decided to include Christmas ATCs in all the Christmas cards I send this year. Thats about 60 atcs. So rather than doing a post with 60 images, I decided to split them in groups of 10. Since I prefer hand drawing/hand painting my cards I decided to keep them simple.
Cards with 3d glaze may look a little distorted.

Sepia Photo Swap: Abandoned
Yesterday I received my returns from the Sepia Photo Swap: Abandoned. For this swap we had to take photos of abandoned places or things and make them sepia. This is the first swap I have done that hasn’t really required any painting, drawing or collaging. I felt strange not doing anything on the cards so I used distress ink on the back that looked like sepia and I ran all the edges on a black ink pad. I like how they came out and made me feel better about sending a print of a picture. I really like how my cards came out. I created several extra which you can view here.
Below are the cards I received.

Folded Art ATC Tutorial
Back in September I visited Longwood Gardens. While there they gave us an accordion type map with a thin piece of cardstock on the back and front. As soon as I saw it I thought “This would make a great atc.” I figured two atcs would make up the front and back cover and the piece of paper could have art on both sides. Below are pictures of the map.

Back of map when closed. 
One side of the map when open. 
The other side of the map when opened. This past week I created a few. They are fairly easy to create. They just take a little more time since there is a lot more art to do. When folded they measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches and when open they measure 9.5 x 10.5 inches.
Here are two Folded Art ATCs when folded together. 
Here is the one side when opened. 
Here is the other side when opened. Below is the tutorial for making your own Folded Art ATCs. If you do create some I would be very interested in seeing them. You can leave the link to them in the comments section or email me the link.
