PAO 10 year ATC Swap - time to create!

[fuzzylover]

I'm hoping that the addresses online here are correct, that's what I used. If I get any back, I'll ask for an update.

My cards and ATC's went out today. If you were on both lists, the cards and ATC's will be in one envelope.

Today I got a card and ATC from Pat C. Inside was a typed note and at first I thought "what is this?" Then I read it. Funny Pat, (not funny Ha Ha but funny ironic) I think the same thing whenever I create something here and post it. I can use whatever stamps, papers, stencils that speak to me at the moment and it's nice. Yes, I sometimes use CS papers or layout, but I have a choice. I have found some wonderful stamp and paper companies and I like using their product, so thank you PAO (everyone) for this forum which allows all of us to be truly creative


Happy Holidays to all, Happy New Year and Here's to at least another 10!!


BTW Pat, your card and ATC are beautiful I love them.

I have Nancie and Pat's ATCS as well. Love the dog on yours, Nancie, it looks like an Airedale.

Pat, I love the way you incorporated the old CS technique as a nod to where we all started. And thank you for the very thoughtful letter summing up our past as well. And, there's always the PAO retreat in NC!

Amen to all of the above! Most of us did start at CS and then branched out to other products. This site has been the perfect home for doing that and for sharing our love of paper, and most of all our "kinship" with each other. This has been a wonderful 10 years - even if we did "encourage" each other to spend more money!

Thank you Nancie for the 2nd ATC to arrive, it's wonderful.

I just had to add that note, you guys are my anchor to the crafting world.

[pat-czap]

For those in the die cut and ACT swaps...notice anything?

Thankyou Nancie, your beautiful ATC and Christmas card arrived yesterday.

I’ve received cards from Pam, Pat, and Nancie. So very creative!

I hadn’t made any in quite a while. It felt good to be inky again.

Pat..... …… Thank you so much for the ATC and your lovely note. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for CS, but my style and interests have changed many times over the years and I'm so thankful to be able to come here and share, not only, my cards, scrapbook pages and other projects, but also the good and bad of everyday life. Thank you all for being here.

My ATCs went to the post office this morning.

I didn't realize it until Pat said that she had used CS items, but I did, too. Background stamp from Let Me Count the Ways, numbers from Generations.

And I did notice the butterfly die cut!

I didn't use CS materials, just a technique learned from them.
Thanks for noticing that die cut!

I now have ATCs from Nancie, Pat and Barbara. Fabulous! I can’t wait to have them all and decide how I will display them or frame them.

I received an ATC from Nancie - I love the doggie - thank you

[pbp908]

I've been posting my "received" in the Winter Card swap, but thought I should do it here, too.

I have ATCs from Pam, Pat and Nancie. Loving all of the silver!
