Description:

Please make one ATC for your one partner. ATC must be made using something recycled. It could be as simple as using a recycled materials backing like a cereal box or recycled paper/note card/book pages, the inside of an envelope, or fabric, or beads, etc. So many ways to recycle when making an ATC.

December's ATC Theme: shaped...make your one partner one shaped ATC...you could choose shaped like a heart, or an egg, or an arch, or a skull, or a dress, or a house, or a tree, etc. Just keep the 2.5 x 3.5 inch size, but shape it anyway but a rectangle. Have fun.

Each month is themed. Please incorporate the theme into your ATC, in some way.

An ATC is sized 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Please sign and date the back, with your artist info. The purpose of this ATC challenge is to make interesting artistic ATCs, while recycling, not to just glue the items of the month on a card.....for example if the theme is flowers...do not cut out from a magazine 1, or even 20 flowers, and sloppily glue-stick them to a backing and call it an ATC.. These are miniature works of art. Have fun.

ATC featuring household items such as sand paper, paper toweling, used corrugated cardboard, bubble wrap prints, used string or twine, junk mail/ads, used shopping lists, candy wrappers, some kind of plastic packaging that features a bubble and use the bubble to contain something in it/on the ATC, etc. Well, just a few odd ball things that are fun to TRY to use in an arty way. :-)

I love those, and have never tried putting something in a plastic bubble.....that could be very cool.
