I’ve wanted to experiment with non-traditional ATCs for quite some time, so for Shirl’s Name ATC – I cut a 3.5 x 5 inch cardstock base – folded the cardstock in half (so that the folded card equals the traditional 2.5 x 3.5 inch ATC dimensions) – then created a beautiful heart border using a Martha Stewart punch and Fiskars paper trimmer!
I inserted white cardstock on the inside of the card – in part, to highlight the heart-shaped border – in part, to surprise Shirl with a sweet stamped message from CTMH when she opens her card!
What do you think? I really love the concept and look forward to making more variations on the theme in the future!
Now, for those of you who are up for a challenge, I’m sharing today’s card with the crafters at these challenge blogs:

Hi, So sorry I am so late with the Amelia Rose Cottage give a way. It will be on its way today Aug. 5th. My granddaughter got married last Saturday and I was so busy helping with every thing I did not get the package in the mail. Please forgive me and enjoy the treasures.

Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a considerate and heartfelt comment. While I take no credit for making the actual background for my blog, I coded everything together and the layout; it was my first success in my consumer marketing role. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I want more; it's a love hate thing that has me questioning my ability at all times for sure. Very clean line blog with great data and organization (..something I need to look into lol). Hope to see you often and I've returned the favor.
