I received two wonderful ATCs today, both making their way to me from Canada!

First, I have this really cool card from @LindyBlues for my Playlist theme. I am asking artists to listen to a song, craft a card from that song and then let me know the title that inspired it. I am hoping to get enough for an ATC Playlist someday. This was inspired by “Learning to Survive” by We Came as Romans. I love the composition of this card!

Next, a card from @Whystler for my Spirits/Sprites of Unusual Things theme. The spirit of the lamp! I wish I could photograph this better. So many details!

Thank you both for an awesome swap!

I really like the lettering for “Darkest.”

I had a lot of fun with that card. The idea is what would a “tell all” book about Bojangles look like. I almost drew a dead chicken :joy:

Also a fun tidbit: a popular menu item in Bojangles is a Boberry biscuit. Which is a delicious biscuit covered in glaze with blueberries baked in it. So I used it has the author of the “book” lol

I received from @stitchandstones today and I’m in love with everything she sent!

She went with my pie theme and sent this adorable ATC


It folds open to an ingredients list


She also added a recipe card where she added replacement ingredients that are readily available in Germany. That’s so incredible thoughtful! Thank you so much!

It also came exactly when I was thinking about what cake to make for my daughter’s birthday this weekend. I think I got an answer!

Now I’m thinking about organizing an ongoing recipe card swap. Would anyone be interested?

I love the idea of a recipe card swap!

@Tapestry had suggested doing one in October, focusing on holiday treats.
