UK Stampers ATC Swap - June


For this month's swap on UK Stampers Vonny has chosen the theme of 'different decades'. I initially thought of the 60's but then I remembered I had a Paper Artsy stamp which I had not used much which had a 50's vibe to it (well it does to me). I am a 50's baby (just) so it seemed an appropriate  decade to do. I was trying to go for a retro 50's American diner feel and thought the checked paper from a range called Kitschy Kitchen matched well. The stamp fitted nicely into a Spellbinders oval die. It has some nonsense text across the centre which I covered up with some decorative tape. I raised the man's head onto a foam pad for added interest and added some photo corners.

    1. Nothing very exciting I'm afraid - I buy trading card pocket sleeves (A5 4 to a page) and put them into A5 ring binders. I'm now on my 6th binder. I keep meaning to decorate them but at the moment they are still plain black or pink. I started numbering my ATCs (only swapped ones) from the very beginning and this batch are 649-651!!!!
