FLIP FLOP FLY - ATC HOLDER

Ok, hands up, those of you who like me have a
SECRET STASH of
Ancient (as in years gone by) ART CALENDARS?
Come on, you know the Ones I mean,
the ones from France or Italy or Monet, or Van Gogh..
the ones that you tell yourself that you will frame someday as they are
Just TOO DARN NICE to throw away...
but you never did...
Because you found out that it would Cost The Earth to do just that!
Right?
Right.
I have heard an Urban Legend about a House that collapsed from the Weight of Years and Years of National Geographics stored up in the attic, so be warned!
Let us hope that those Art Calendars will not do the same!

When my Neighbour-Cousin Dianne challenged me to
A Year of SunDayTCs -
it suddenly struck me that I was going to need a STORAGE system.
Something handy, small and portable to take to my local Starbucks to either work on or just view while sipping my brew.
So, after viewing Gabrielle Madsen's ingenius Accordion Fold ATC holder,
I decided to go hunting for some good stiff sort of card stock that measured 12 x 12 ".
O GLORY. HOLY GRAIL TIME!
I had a SECRET STASH of Art Calendars and o my, would you believe it?
They are the MAGIC 12 x 12 Dimension!
....
So here is my first Video on the
1 Page,
1 Cut, (gulp, yes you do have to cut them!)

ATC - Hellebore Strawberry Sunset - January 10

Since I physically didn't take scissors to paper for this one, I made up a rule to cover my butt so to speak.
The Rule: no more than 3 photos and they had to be taken during the week the ATC is due.
So these 3 photos were taken January 9 - Hellebore, Strawberry leaf are from my garden -
(sorry (g) those of you who are snow bound who read this) and a glorious Sunset that happened on the way home.
I couldn't resist adding the park bench stamp with squirrels and of course a little glitter doesn't hurt either!

Blessings of Creativity to everyone who reads this!
Shanti

2011 01 02 Addendum: I deem it good fortune that I realized my limits early on in the game and quickly figured out that I am Not a Scissors and Glue type artist. From here on, most of the ATC's would be digital artpieces and as for The Rule..pffft.

The Dalai Lama once said: 'Learn the Rules so that you may break them correctly." I did and I did.
