Description:

I am always finding things in my craft area that I have either not been ready to put back, are too small to put anywhere, or just plain ended up there because they caught under something else.

This Swap will be to create an ATC with all the bits and pieces you have in your craft area right now. Cut a sturdy, Standard ATC (2.5 x 3.5 inches), and cover every bit of the surface with items you find in your craft area. No cheating and going to your stashes!! This is a really fun challenge. It's amazing how beautiful these turn out.

Please cover the whole ATC with things found in your craft area.

Do not use only stickers, one sticker is ok. But if you mainly have stickers in your area, then this swap is not for you. Sorry.

This is fun and challenging... enjoy it!

I have to take pictures of the ones I made last summer.. and then I will put them up for the swap picture.

Good thing this is in March as I had just cleaned my craft room last night! At least the lead time gives us all enough time to make a mess again. :)

Heh, I was just going to complain that I had to wait until March. My craft desk needs a good cleaning now :-P This is a great idea, I hope you'll host more of these in the future too @RiverTopanga

What a fantastic idea!

Is it ok to use things like liquid pearls or embossing powders? Things like that which may not be necessarily on your desk but will add interest and dimension to your card?

Okay, my desk is ready for this swap. (Didn’t take me long, did it? LOL) Come oooooon March!

I could clean my desk every week until the start of the swap and still have a bunch of c#%p on my desk! This should be interesting...

I can’t wait to see what I get in the mail! I’m working on mine tonight. It’s been a while since I cleaned off my craft table. I have things stacked in piles to be put away.😜

Hello! I'm sorry, I've been so busy with my mum and bringing her to doctors since her 2 falls about 6 weeks ago, I totally missed the comments! Sorry about that! I can definitely host more of these swaps. I think they are not only, fun but very useful! I hate the thought of wasting even a tiny piece of paper (must be the Yankee in me!)... Thank you all for signing up! Can't wait to swap with you :-)

Splendorpursuit, Gobarb, Tverne05, Supersquirrel, Choke, Bananers... Thank you all for joining this swap. :-) I think you will all love what you can create from your "scraps". They can be so beautiful! Have fun with it... but remember... MUST be a scrap, ribbon, gemstones, die cut, etc. that is left in your craft mat area.. And I can definitely run one of these swaps again ... <3
