The July theme for our ATC and Card Swaps was Hidden Secrets. There are some that had some great hidden secrets – I have found them, but I’ll not spoil the fun for the ‘swapees’! Mind you, you’ll have received them by now anyway!! Some are quite ingenious! Others we have photographed to show their secrets to give you some fantastic ideas as to what can be done with this small size of card.
So, starting off with the ATCs then...
From Jennie Atkinson in Shetland comes this lovely Arch Door to a secret place. 
Open up this pretty ATC from Yvonne Wolsey in Luton, Bedfordshire to reveal it’s pretty contents.  Pat Townshend-Alnes in Norway sent this colourful wheelbarrow and you’ll need to think and search hard to find the secret hidden with this one! I love it - very clever Pat! 
Pretty flowers come from Becky Bailey in Southampton. It opens up to reveal a gorgeous pop-up!
 Mickie Sutcliffe, in Bexhill–on-Sea, sent this seashell ATC that with a little careful opening in different directions, will reveal it’s secrets! ...and the Hidden Secrets cards...
 Another wheelbarrow full of flowers, complete with a secret from Pat Townshend-Alnes in Norway.
 Pink flowers from Becky Bailey in Southampton, opens to reveal an equally pretty secret inside!
 A larger version of the seashell ATC comes from Mickie Sutcliffe, in Bexhill–on-Sea. The August theme was – All Things Spooky – and we had some fun ATCs and cards sent in.  “Boo” was sent in by Margaret Harris who lives in Malvern, Worcestershire.  Pat Townshend-Alnes in Norway sent in this creepy ATC!  Yvonne Wolsey from Luton in Bedfordshire scared us with this one!  Jennie Atkinson, from Shetland, made this cute Trick or Treat ATC.  This one comes from Mickie Sutcliffe in Bexhill on Sea.  Becky Bailey, from Southampton, made this scary ATC. ...and on the All Things Spooky card front we have...
 A spooky castle came from Becky Bailey in Southampton.  The witch on her broomstick was made by Mickie Sutcliffe in Bexhill on Sea.  This one from Pat-Townshend-Alnes in Norway is stamped on an amazing 3D plastic, so the image seems to move as you turn the card! Inside is a small panel on the same plastic showing bats that seem to fly around! Brilliant! The themes for October and November are Something Numerical and a Fabric Stamped ATC and Card respectively! Something to really get your teeth into there then!!
