Our ATCs revealed!

So here we are fellow team members and faithful blog readers: the end of our ATC challenge/swap. My name is Virginie and I absolutely loved organizing this event. I am sure everyone has been challenged one way or another, whether it was to make a first ever card or whether to challenge yourself and try a new media. Also, optionally,

the participants could make a little 'handmade' something to accompany

the cards...

So, I invite you dear reader to:

a-Grab a cup of tea

b-click on the BLOG LINKS (in some cases, pictures are posted below) to have a wee look at our participants' little wonders...

c-PLEASE leave a comment and/or FOLLOW the blogs, we all work hard at them...

Let's start with:

Participants who don't have a blog can simply send me their pics and comments by Friday and they'll be added to the saturday article.

Brigitte from http://www.purlsofcolours.etsy.com/ is kindly designing an official widget for the swap so that the team and the participants can display them on their blogs. It should be available soon here.

Meanwhile, anyone who would like to help spreading the word about this challenge and the team is more than welcome to pick it up and stick it on web sites and personal blogs! :)

Please Share Your Craft With Us

Hi there, Virginie from http://www.vivibijoux.etsy.com/, just a quick reminder to look into the Etsy Ireland team Swap.

We are looking for a lot more participants, in fact we are an uneven number at the moment (which makes it tricky to pair up lol)

Please have a look at the post, share your love for your craft and join us, we're all beginners here ^_^

The list of participants will be posted on Saturday.
Leave a comment here or convo me to join us, that'd be great!
