ATCs by Tracey B

 Morning everyone

Don't you just love ATCs - little mini works of art for art's sake.

Here's my take on week 1 - collage creations

And week 2 - Monochrome

All made with left over bits and pieces that sit in containers on my desk waiting for a cleanup.

Have a great week

cheers

ATC 2025 - List of Prompts

Hello everyone,

Last year, we did 52 non-swap ATC weekly prompts.  And for 2025, we will do it all over again!

Weekly ATC Prompts

Every Monday at 9am, we will release a unique ATC prompt. This is a NO-SWAP ATC project. This allows you to create your own mini artworks to keep as your own project. By the end of 2025, you will have your own collection of 52 ATCs that incorporated the weekly theme or technique.

Take photos of your projects and share them in our  Scrapping Clearly Share and Inspire Facebook Group. Make sure you add them the current month's Prize Draw album, and also add a caption to the photo so we know what prompt you used!

Here is a list of the current prompts. 

JANUARY

Week 1: Collage Creations

Week 2: Monochrome

Week 3: Watercolours

MORE TO COME SOON>>>>>>

Ideas for your storing ATC projects:

1. Add your mini-projects to a Junque Journal. 

Kylie has created some blank LuckyFindings ones here: https://scrappingclearly.com.au/product-category/luckyfindings/luckyfindings-junque-journal/

And here is how Amanda's Junque Journal turned out in 2024, with all the ATC prompts used to fill the book!

 

2.  Stitch your cards together

Inspired by the Kylie and Tracey's 2024 Junque Art Book Kits (which you can still get: https://scrappingclearly.com.au/product-category/luckyfindings/junque-art-book-kits/), Amanda was inspired to stitch an ATC card project together. Cards stuck back to back and joined to the next set with a slim panel of fabric, and machine stitched.

3. Store them in a nice box

In 2024, paper crafter Amanda Moran, shared her box of ATCs from the 2024 prompts in our Facebook group.

She used this Kmart box: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/medium-and-narrow-bamboo-drawer-tidy-42232193/

4. Add them to a journal

You can also add your ATCs to a journal or small book. Kylie has many in store to choose from: https://scrappingclearly.com.au/product-category/journals-albums/

Amanda and Rosi over in our Facebook Group shared their plans to use a journal this year!

Please share with us how you plan to store your ATCs!

 Happy New Year everyone

One of my resolutions this year (alongside getting out into the garden every day - even if it's only for 5 minutes) was to be up to date with posting projects.   How's that going you ask? Only 2 days behind!   Hopefully things will improve.

This year is going to great for all the challenges available.   You're really spoilt for choice so no excuses so get your craft on and load into the album on Facebook.

This month I've started with the sketch.

I started with a Waste Not page (just left over product from another LO)

Added some Distress ink (Speckled Egg, Faded Jeans, Uncharted Mariner & Spiced marmalade) using a brayer.   Then a Jane davenport stamp with Memento ink (Tuxedo Black).   I then coloured the butterflied with some Color Burst (Burnt Orange - spritzed and painted on with a small brush.   Added some Colour Blast spray Sunset and some background using 49 & Market Butterflies are free stamp.

Added some 49 & Market filmstrips (Sunburst) along with some Alena rub-ons and chipboard, some Ticket Essentials, Heidi Swapp fabric bow, Transfer Me Bees and Flies, Wildflower & Honey thickers and Uniquely Creative alphas (coloured some with a black posca)

here's the finished page.
