Wow! That’s really clever…and the art work on the “albums” is surely a bonus!

So glad it arrived! I was worried that one stamp wouldn’t be enough since it was so chunky, but now I’ll be pushing the limits more often. :joy:

I can’t decide if I ought to keep it with ATCs or miniatures…

O wow, look at all of the new ATCs! It’s so cool how the H in Beach becomes the palm tree, very ingenious. The worm from Labyrinth! He turned out so well! And then the clever record ATC… you must have some great yard sales in your area. The ones by me just have a ton of baby clothes.

I received an adorable cat doing cute things card from @aimr!

It’s titled, “Rocky thinks it’s fun to destroy box lids.”

Thanks Linda!

Glad you like it…and yes, it is from an actual box lid he destroyed! I cut up and taped more cardboard underneath but, it will soon be time for a new box and lid!

@Juju sent me this ATC for my pick 3 theme!
Collage, assemblage, buttons.
Isn’t it beautiful? It’s like coral.
Thank you, Juju!

I received two lovely ATCs right before I was headed for my follow up post skin cancer surgery appointment! (all is well, btw!). Put me in a positive frame of mind and after the visit, the whole day seemed brighter!

First, I love both sayings…second, both are beautifully executed with nice workmanship and details…third, both made me smile. They will be hanging on my bulletin board for a few weeks (or months, if I forget…) before adding them to my ATC book. Thank you both!

From @irid3sc3nt …an old timey saying with a beautiful note on why this was chosen…also, some lovely lace to use! Also, keeping the envelope…look at all of those adorable stamps!

From @fluffypants …ha ha ha A reminder not to be a Miserable Cow…what a great saying! Cows make me laugh and yes, I am one of those people who has to point out every cow when I am driving through the country in a car…cow…cow…cow…

Heh, yeah… I have a bunch of stamps still after passing along a bunch of them.

Hilarious ATC @fluffypants. Do you have your own typewriter that you used?

I would love to find a typewriter someday! For now I use a set of alphabet stamps with a holder. It would be so nice not to have to dig through all the letters to find the right ones. :joy:

Oh cool. They look like typewriter letters! I see at least one typewriter every time I go to the antique store, but I have no idea where to get a replacement ink ribbon or any replacement parts, really. Hmm… I wonder if I still have my alphabet stamps :thinking:

April swap is up:

I received this wonderful card from @fluffypants for my Labyrinth theme! It is the little worm that invites Sarah inside for a cup of tea. :slight_smile: The background says ‘come inside and meet the missus’ I love it, thank you so much! :blush:

I received this great card from @megwell , its from my storybook theme. She chose to do the story, " Stone Soup". And this wonderful altered gift card holder card! What a great idea! The ATC fits right into the slots. Thank you! I love it!

It looks like it’s in the style of Lois Ehlert or Eric Carle. Very cool illustration! There’s so many renditions of that story, pretty sure I have one on my bookshelf.

@Juju, glad you like it! And sorry for the excessive amount of tape in the packing. I got really fixated on making sure it was sealed up because I was putting it out for the mail carrier on a rainy day. And I don’t even think there’s anything water-reactive on it :woman_facepalming:t2:.

I also received from @irid3sc3nt for my “make a card in one of YOUR themes” theme. She made this '80s scratch and sniff sticker inspired card.

According to her research, Yumbo is both a place in Colombia and a Burger King sandwich :laughing:. Thanks, Carissa!!
