how to store ATC's, Moo's and Twinchies/Inchies
i love making ATC's and other small things. i also LOVE taking part in the swaps on the RSA Stamping group. the biggest problem after a swap, is WHAT to do with them?? i want them to be visible, but i need it to be economical in a way that saves space and does not cost a fortune. when i first started making ATC's 3 years ago, i bought a FABULOUS book on ATC's and Gail and i each made a storage book. very simple concept - just an accordian book. i remember, however, that it was a lot of work - it was before Scorboards, Scorpals etc. times have changed, and as i am busy organising my craft space in the new house, i am finding alot of things that i put away for "one day". Yesterday was the day for sorting the swaps. i had some Kraft paper left and i decided to make these albums for all the swaps.
this is the album for the twinchies. i put a twinchie on my cutting mat, and decided how much space i needed around the twinchie. i also knew that i would have to write each person's name next to the work of art, as i was glueing it down. i was so glad i had bought a Scorboard!! it makes life so much easier! all the folds are perfect!
the moos were a but more difficult - i could not put them on one/one, as it did not want to fold nicely. so, i decided to do them 2/2 on a page.
here is my "friend" ATC album. i used ribbon to close all of them, and they are now on my coffee table, for all the visitors that i will get at my new house ( sic) to see! i think doing all of them took me less than an hour and a half - and i was doing lots of things inbetween! what are you busy with!

I have mine in pvc sleeves in a ring binder, but they never get displayed for everyone's enjoyment. More to add onto my 'To Do' list.
