The first picture is of Pinky's using adhesive cork squares and mounting the ATCs on the cork with pins. She used the clear plastic sleeves to protect the cards. The second picture is a frame I found at Micheal's. It has hinges on the side and a clasp to keep it from coming open. What I liked about this frame was that it would hold cards that were somewhat 3-D or built up a bit. I also found a frame for baseball cards that holds the sturdier plastic sleeves for collector cards. I got such a steal on it on eBay because the person listed it wrong and I just happened to stumble upon it. It is perfect for completely flat cards, such as ones from artists that have water color paintings on them, etc. I put each one of my cards in a plastic sleeve and used little squares of velcro on the frame and then on the back of each card sleeve. It keeps them right in place and I don't have to dust them...that's the main thing :>))
This blog will follow a group of 6 women who have been meeting and creating since the year 2000. We started out only creating with fabric...doing art wall hangings and quilts, clothing, and more. We have now expanded into creating with fabric, doing ATCs, making cards, hand dying fabric, etc. You name it, we are willing to try it. Come along with us on our adventure!

Free Cabinet...Mary Fox
April requested that I put on picture of the FREE cabinet that I have to give away. It would be wonderful for fabric storage...no dust! It is double sided. It looks exactly this way on the other side and has wooden shelving that goes inside. It is flat on top so you can stack clear plastic boxes on top or whatever...It is 5' 5" long, 30" wide, and 43 1/2" tall. I don't know what kind of wood it is, but it is old. It is a neat piece. I just don't have room for it...wish I did! Location: Long Beach, Washinton
