Making New Friends ...

A few of us locals got together yesterday for an ATC Meet, Greet, Create & Swap at Scrapbooks Etc, along with the lovely Sheree Rose who we got to know through a couple of overseas Yahoo Groups - ATC_World (where she is a moderator) and Advanced Artist Trading Cards UK . Sheree is Australian but spends half her time living in the US with her husband and the other half in Australia. It was so wonderful to put a face to a name and she patiently showed us all a few ATC tricks and some wonderful techniques.
The ATC Meet, Greet, Create & Swap Group

Back Row L to R: Diana (Me), Sheree Rose, Pam Prosser
Front Row L to R: Kyla De Ruiter, Mercia Poree & Sarah Walker

After saying our hellos and checking out each other's collections we all placed a bag of supplies to make one ATC in the basket and chose one each. We then got our heads down and started creating an ATC out of someone else's bits and pieces. A couple of hours later, we were all emerged with one completed ATC (I think that was the fastest ATC I ever made) and then we swapped that ATC as well.


I ended up with this lovely ATC by Pam using Sarah's supplies.
I had a great time creating and chatting with everyone, as well as getting to know Sheree a little better.
