It is so exciting to find a crafter amongst your colleagues, someone who loves the papers, tools and has found a craft that they love. By day Sharon is our bright and breezy receptionist, but outside of work she is a demon crafter and ATCs (Artists Trading Cards) are her fave.

Sharon writes: "ATCs are small cards measuring 6.5 x 9 cms decorated in any style you choose. They are traded or swapped for other cards, but are strictly never sold. I have found this hobby to be completely addictive, having great fun trying our new techniques or mediums I have never tried before.

I trade ATCs at three different 'SWAPS' (ATC meeting groups) this allows me to share my ideas and creativity with like-minded people who are as addicted to ATCs as I am. Try it for yourself, but remember the three golden rules...FUN, FUN, FUN!"

Sharon has kindly posted a selection of her ATCs, which were then whisked away for a SWAP meeting - being a UK ATC fan, Sharon wondered if the US style is so very different and what US fans use as inspiration?
