ATC Cards

[kate3]

I got them! I love them! They made me cry!
It is so cool to get something made by my online family. They are all really good and so different and from people I care about. Thank you.
I couldn't find the original post sorry. Now you can share them if Jeannette has hers. Maybe mine would have come a little faster if I had put my post code on my return envelope.

Fantastic, glad you got them!!!!! They all are really wonderful!

[Elizabeth]

Glad they made it to you, Kate! I love all of them, too, and for the same reasons. They make me happy when I look at them.

They make me so happy when I look at them too. That is why I am building a padded board to mount them on because I hope for many more to put near them. It is like I have this family that I care so much about and now I have something they made for me. My daughter looked at me when I opened them and cried like I had lost it. She said, Mama? Why are you crying over teeny tiny Christmas cards. I had to explain they were not Christmas cards but much better. They were something lots of people made with their hands and imaginations for each other. I was surprised that not one was alike so maybe we already expressed ourselves.

Oh Kate, you're gonna make me cry. They were all so beautiful. I'm still trying to figure a way to display them, I have one Of those baseball card books but I want them out where I can see them, your board idea is a good one.

The printer type trays from 7 gypsy's is wonderful and just the right size.

This is actually a kit. I've purchased these with a coupon from my local store and it is cheaper without the kit.

I have seen embellishments on the sides and top and ribbons and more.

Just a thought!!!

My girls get just as excited as I do to open the ATC envelopes when they arrive! The lastest ones are displayed on two tiny Christams trees on a sideboard. Earlier sets are laying on tables in my craft room. I need to have DH and DD's BF figure out a way to mount display racks on my angled walls, as my craftroom is in the "attic", and has almost no vertical walls, but lots of sloped ceiling.

I love that display box, Retta. It could be used for so many cool things. (Not that there is anything cooler than the ATC cards!)

Bliztsy had a whole bunch of 7 gypsie stuff on sale. It was on Monday I think, but it may still be on sale, They had hanging stuff and everything.

Hope that inspires someone.

Retta, that's a great idea, don't know why I didn't think of that as I have decorated several of those trays and ummm, I have a30% coupon for Archivers.

Right now I have mine being displayed by Christmas photo holders. Looks really cute.

[Retta]

I think I will really like doing this and I'm so excited.

[kate3]

Mine are pegged up on that tiny clothes line with tiny pegs for Christmas cards while I make a display board. I checked those pegs first to make sure it wouldn't mark my cards.

Retta, Don't expect my ATC to look like those. They are amazing.

[Retta]

Mine either Kate. Just love looking at them. They do inspire me.

You got it! It is Christmas Eve and I have to go and start cooking stuff. Don't make me go there. Why can't everyone bring their own cooked food? Oh, I think I am tired from the heat we have had this week. The best thing I did this year was to order and pay for a big gingerbread house. It was delivered last night and I didn't have to make it.
I have so many vinyl names and sayings to finish before tomorrow to add to gifts. Right now I don't want to play.
