ATC Swaps at Hawley

Hi, I'm Alison and I work part-time at Hawley Craft Central. I would love to swap ATCs with anyone who's interested. I usually use stamps on my ATCs, and love making my own backgrounds. My fingers are normally inky! Please call the store if you are interested

I think we have met Alison, I have been in a few times and think I may have chatted to you about Orpington( living there) However sorry I cant remember what you look like. Where you in store last sat I came in with my little boy he was given the last choc bunny. (Thank you).
I have never made an ATC do you get special cards to decorate or do you make your own and if so what size are they. Forgive me for being thick but do you just do as you would with a card or scapbook page? Please tell me more.
Many thanks
Jude nice but dim

Hi Judith,

Sorry, haven't been on forum for a few days. Yes, I was there when your cute little boy got the last choccy bunnie. To answer your question about ATCs, just get a piece of card sized 3 1/2" by 2 1/2" ( i.e. playing card size), then decorate it like you would a hand-made card. You can use anything you like, i.e stamping, decoupage, paper and stickers. If you look on the gallery part of this forum, you'll see some lovely examples of ATCs. I think they were by 'HokeyCokey'. Our Do-Craft demo day is tomorrow 10 - 4 if you are free. I can't promise any choccy bunnies though!! I look forward to seeing you soon,

love Alison x

Sorry Juduth, gave you wrong info. Hokeycokey's lovely ATCs are on this ATC forum under ATCs to swap. Sorree!!

Thank you Alison I will have to give them a go sometime.
Cant make the demo today only just got in from work and saving money for my trip to Olympia stitch and craft show tomorrow. Hope to pop in soon to get some more ideas see you then.
Many thanks again Judith

Hi Hawley
hi Station and Crowland
I'm sure you have a very good swap circle there but I wondered if any of your children would be interested in a special online childrens swap, gives them something to do in the holidays. If so please see School's out! summer holiday ATC swap for children

At Blackpool CC we are running a childrens craft club during the holidays, I'm sure you are doing something similar. Could we not all combine our childrens talents in a childrens ATC swap(see the Schools out thread)swap? Please think about it and get back to me.
