This was our last meeting for the 2015 Calendar Months trade. It was a great idea and really fun to see everyone's interpretations of the months!
We then did a Show and Tell of ATCs from the Gelli Plate Printing Workshop in September followed by our regular trade and JAMS.
Our demonstration/workshop was Paper Folding. Thank you Linda! We made (2) lovely trees. See the tutorial to make the trees HERE.
We decided on a theme for 2016 - Countries! For each meeting, we will prepare and trade (2) ATCs representing (2) countries. We will travel around the world through ATCs! Here is the list:
2016
January: United States
February: Canada
March: France
April: England
May: Australia
June: Argentina
July: Germany
August: Poland
September: Russia
October: China
November: Kenya
December: Morocco
The next meeting is on Saturday, January 16, 2016 at 1pm.
For the next meeting, please bring:
- Challenge: Make ATCs for the regular trade in January 2016 using the backgrounds from the September 2015 trade. If you do not have backgrounds from that meeting, then prepare ATCs to trade as you would for any other meeting.
- Challenge: Bring in ATCs from past mail swaps (if you have them) that we can use as inspiration for a Challenge for March 2016
- Prepare (1) ATC representing the US and (1) ATC representing Canada for the 2016 Countries Trade
- Regular Trade - Using Backgrounds (see #1)
- JAMS
