Well this is the week that some of us have been dreading, me included, had never made an ATC in my life and now we need to do a swop.......well, all I can say is that once I started, I could not stop making them!
If anyone is wondering what on earth I am babbling on about, pop over to see the lovely Julia over at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ for details and to join in the fun.
The only things on my desk this week are a collection of ATC's that I had a lot of fun making. I tried out a few on fellow WOYWWer Ann B and she was very helpful and kind. Thank you Ann.
I am also showing a close up of the ATC's so that the person next to me, who wants to swop, can choose the one they like. I have included a couple suitable for males as we have a couple in the group. This is the first page:-
If you do visit this week please do leave me a comment, I love to read them all and really appreciate you taking the time to visit. I always try to return the compliment (but not on Facebook or Pinterest). Crafty hugs, Anne x

Hi Anne ...you are so sweet. Although I am not participating I plan to make my first ATC's later this week. If they are satisfactory I will certainly send you one. X x
ReplyDeleteHi Anne , forgot to mention that you have seen the wall hanging. I just placed it on my desk as some WOYWWers wanted to see it finished. Crafty hugs. X
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
ReplyDeleteWow what a lot you've got!
Did you say you haven't made an ATC in your life? Well I think you just made up for it.
Maybe I should have given it a go although I hadn't a clue what to do...You've done a brilliant job and by the sound of the comments above will be inundated. And rightly so....
Thanks for popping over to my place earlier
Happy 3rd WOYWW Anniversary to you...enjoy all the swops ;D
Have fun! Neesie #14
I have NO idea why you were so nervous. I think they are fantastic. I'm just thrilled I was given the chance to "meet" you through this wild and fun blog hop we take each week. Happy 3rd WOYWW Anniversary from #2.

ReplyDeleteHi, you have been busy and seem to have overcome your fear of ATCs just fine - they are fabulous! I haven't made many myself and still find them difficult to tackle ... must practice more, obviously :) Hope your day has been a happy one and that the rest of the week will be good too.

ReplyDeleteStop it, Anne, I cannot believe you have never made one before and you made these flippin' AWESOME works of art!! It never even OCCURRED to me to make more than the one I made for the swap! And now I'm so nervous. I definitely need to add more pizzazz to mine. Yours are extraordinary and a wonderful source of inspiration!

I love those ATC's. The clock is gorgeous, but then there is the adorable seahorse and the bird cage, oh alright, I just love them all.
ReplyDeleteHappy 3rd anniversary, have a great week.
Von #20
You can tell you loved doing those atc's once you got started - they are wonderful. Congratulations on such a wonderful set - now you need to swap them out with a lot of others and get a varied post back.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet #15 xx
Wow Redanne! ALL of them are GORGEOUS!!!! Anyone would be thrilled and lucky to get one of your ATCs!!! FABULOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,
Elise
Well aren't making ATC's just oodles of fun! Bet you wondered why you didn't start sooner. Great ATC's and you really went crazy making so many.
ReplyDeletehugs Lynn
Wow your ATCs are amazing! And to think you were nervous to make them and it turned out you have such a flair for making them! It would be so hard to chose one because they are all so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me earlier and Happy WOYWW Anniversary!
xoxo Karen
Hi Anne, Your ATCs are superb! Can't believe you haven't been making them for years! I especially like the London 2012 one. My nephew (22) is visiting London at the moment. His first trip o/s, all a bit of an adventure, but no sign of any postcards from him. He is a staunch royalist, all the way from the "colonies"! Happy 3rd birthday WOYWW!
ReplyDeletewow you have been busy those ATC's are amazing I especially like the face with the glasses on it. Sorry I am not into swapping ATC's I gave them up years ago and I just can't make them anymore. Thank you for sharing

Hi Ann, WoW your ATCs are beautiful. I too am a newbie to making ATCs, but am a bit worried now after seeing these that mine are too plain. Good job I didn't show them on WOYWW or there might not have been any other links after mine lol.Great job :-)

Sorry Iv'e just spotted I missed the e off your name. My middle name is Anne with an e so I know what it means when its spelt wrong. lol x
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW 3rd Anniversary Anne! thanks so much for the visit to my desk. I love your ATCs, they're fantastic! I'm so glad you enjoyed your first experience with them so much. If you have any left (though I'm sure they've all been snatched up) I would love to do a swap. Drop me a line at victoriaveggie at gmail dot com if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteWow. (Which always feels appropriate for WOYWW.) Your ATCs are, quite simply, amazing. I can't believe these are your first ones, they look so professional and fun. Wow.
ReplyDeletecheers,
rachel, #7
Hi Anne! Your ATCs look just fine - you didn't need to worry about them at all. I bet you've got the bug now, eh?
ReplyDeleteSorry to be so late getting round this week - the Queen's Jubilee got in the way!
Happy WOYWW!
Oh WOW! You say you've never made ATCs before? These are *gorgeous*!! And ATCs really are addictive once you get started, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW anniversary! :)
