Today is it….then it’s 24/7 kid time for 3 months. I can’t complain. I am lucky to be at home. There is always that adjustment phase for everyone though.

I made a couple of quick ATC’s just to prove to myself that I could still create something.

I also put together sets of my photo greeting cards for the teachers and assistants.

When I saw the topic for Illustration Friday this week I knew I had the perfect ATC.

Yesterday, I ran across someone asking about ATC storage. Some people use trading card sheets in 3-ring binders, others have them in baskets and so on.

I have several storage methods.

My first option was to use this very old photo album. It was in rough shape. I decided to make it my own by stamping and painting randomly on the pages for visual interest. I used photo corners to attach each ATC. The thing I like about this album is that you can see the backside of the card through the opening.

This book filled up rather quickly so…

I came with with my own storage option by creating a book that can have my ATC’s upright whether they are made in a portrait or landscape style. This was very important to me. Once again I use photo corners to attach the ATC’s so they can easily be removed to look at the back.
I wrote a tutorial when I created a second one.

I recently acquired this vintage wooden cheese box for the sole purpose of housing my ever growing collection. I tend to put ATC’s that are thick, uneven or heavily embellished in the box. This box sits on my desk right by the computer so I can hopefully be inspired daily.

Do you have an ATC collection?  How do you store yours?

Notice the mistranslation on the fortune… it  made me laugh. Of course I didn’t notice until AFTER I glued it down.

I’m on a roll…

I can’t seem to stop making ATC’s!

It’s a great way to use up scraps!!

I felt the need to make something… ATC’s seemed like the perfect choice since they are small and make it easy to use up scraps.

A relative of my mother-in-law is hosting an ATC swap that is right up my alley.

I love painting!

The swap is 3 for 3. Not being able to settle on watercolors or acrylics, I did a set of each.
