I would like to say to someone who may be thinking of joining one of these craft rounds, ATCs are one of the top 2 easiest projects that we do. Post secrets are the other.

By easy, I mean that it doesn't require a ton of tools or expensive supplies or talent. They let ME do these!

You can use cardstock or even thin cardboard or junk mail. Those flyers that come are great for this. Just toss some paint or glue some paper on it and cut it to 3.5 by 2.5. Or you can make life super easy and go by a pack of basic playing cards. They are the right size and are sturdy enough to take paint or glue. You can get one pack for less than a dollar in most areas at Walmart or the Dollar Store/Dollar General.

Once you get your base, you create the image you want. All you have to do is your take on the theme of nature. ATCs are flat so they are easy to add things to and design. You don't have to add text. Or do. It's what YOU like and art is subjective so there's a ton of ways to do it.

Homoe?

Katz?

Anyone?

Bueller? Bueller?
