I have to admit, ATC's are growing on me. At first I struggled with the small size (I figured ATC stood for ... A Tough Challenge LOL!) and now I find it a great way to use bits and pieces leftover from other projects. I saved scraps from the last few projects I did for CHA Winter 2013. My first ATC was pretty simple. I layered two pieces of paper from Splash of Color's Cherish Collection by Christine Adolph.

My final ATC is Holiday Themed. I wanted to create something for Easter and how easy is that when you used Splash of Color's Signature Collection ~ Easter Wishes.
