CRS Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Have you noticed that film makers are recreating a lot of fairy tales lately? With the release of my favorite fairy tale, Cinderella, I was inspired to use that as our theme for this round of hybrid atc's!! So, this month's theme is Fairy Tales!! If you are interested in joining us, here are some things to know: The best way to do this seems to be to buy the 9 slot baseball trading card holders. They are designed to fit into a standard 3 ring binder. You can fold the sheets in thirds and fit them into a business sized envelope. Please include return postage in one of the slots, allowing for an extra ounce in case participants are especially exuberant with their bling. If it's not needed, I will return it with your goodies. Also please include a self-addressed envelope. We've found that the larger 6x9 envelopes work better than business sized envelopes but the postage rate is the same. When you mail the envelope to me, the post office people will tell you if there's a non-machinable surcharge. A great hint is to use your own address as the return address in case it gets "returned" for any reason. Sign up in this thread by April 16th. On the 17th, I'll PM you all my address and how many cards you need to make. Please try to have your finished cards to me by the end of May . If I get them all early, I'll send them back out earlier. Who's with me??? Carla Lauren Kelly Laura Ann Monica Lei Andrea-Rose Brooke Karen Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnBK Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'll give it a try even though my mind is completely blank at the moment. Well, except for the glitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nica Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hahaha...Ann, that's a great idea. Call it Bibbity-Bobbity-Boo and just cover the card in glitter. I'm in Carla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 We have another swapper, a 10 yr old who is excited to try these out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nica Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Awesome! I'm still trying to convince my DS#3. He loves looking at them and he loves art. He's just not quite brave enough yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyscrapalot Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Awesome! I'm still trying to convince my DS#3. He loves looking at them and he loves art. He's just not quite brave enough yet. Maybe he can "help" make yours..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflykisses Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm in. Sounds like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Awesome! I'm still trying to convince my DS#3. He loves looking at them and he loves art. He's just not quite brave enough yet. Brooke is going to need a lot of help from me. She's only used Photoshop once. What I do with Lauren (and I'll do with Brooke) is let them come up with an idea, then show them what is available in the Boutique (or my silhouette cut files) to make their idea work. I help with the digital part, printing and trimming, then let Lauren do the rest. Works good that way for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope she has fun with it. Lauren does a wonderful job -- I loved her handwriting on the last card as well as the "sparkle" work. Great that the girls want to participate.

MariJ Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Oh, I am sorry I am missing this, but don't think I'd be able to create these right now. I LOVE that there are young artists participating, I love the ones of Lauren's that I have. Sure hope you will post their creations for all of us to see!
