Hello everyone,
I had a play not too long ago with some more playing cards to make ATC's..
When I started I didn't measure, or think to measure, my playing card, and thought everything was okay....until..
So started off by gluing with a glue stick the cards
onto old book pages..
done..then trimmed, then thought about it!
These were the cards..
against other I had covered..oops!..
Quite a bit of difference.
So I came up with a fix....
glue another on the back and folded it over and made a flap.
good or bad, it fixed the size.
same size now..
Stickers..
how I love my stickers...
They all got stickers, some were fussy cut out as the border
is not my pet.
on the stickers went here and there..
label stickers as well..
I have a few to use up!!!
inked them up, homemade number labels, now I need something else..
I have these dies that make clip tops..
Yep, I like that..
need more though..
die cut this little bottle..
and used a ticket die to make labels to fit..
inked up and glued on.
added numbers on the bottles
big bugs on the back ( PET stickers )
and tied them all up with string..ATC booklets.
So there go, everything can be fixed..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'm off to the shop with my new trolley...
it's a good walk and going to be much easier wheeling shopping home
than carrying bags..
Have a good week I'll see you Wednesday..
luv CHRISSYxx

What a great idea Chrissy- ATC booklets! These tiny works of art are gorgeous, can't believe how much you can fit into them.
I'm sure getting your shopping home will be a lot easier with your new trolley...and a lot better for your back than carrying heavy bags.

Meant to say your trolley will definitely help, I had one of those but because I have scoliosis (curved spine) it still hurt my back and had to give in and get one with 4 wheels -now this one does help with support and posture, but have a stick if not shopping.

Those are fantastic, Chrissy! They're so loaded up with goodness, and I love that clip top die!
Thank you so much for your kind comments on my blog post! It was lovely hearing from you!
You're a really good fixer, Chrissy. Fabulous how you know to use up your label stickers, etc.
Great idea to use a trolley for your shopping. So much easier!
You always amaze me with your great creations you come up with, love your flap idea! You do have a great sticker collection for sure! The clips were a nice touch with them.
Your new trolley looks like it will hold a good amount of shopping, enjoy!
Wow seriously what a fix Chrissy!! They look like little treasure books now. Love them. I'm loving your shopping trolley. These are getting so popular again and real back savers for sure!
Wow, you made out pretty well with that fold over, they are all so cool and pretty. And congrats on your new trolley. I hope it was a fun spin to the shop! xox
Such a clever recovery on those undersized cards, and the flap solution adds so much character that it feels intentional. The mix of stickers, labels, ink, and those clip tops creates such lively little booklets packed with detail. The bottles and number tags are a brilliant touch, and the PET bug stickers on the back made me smile. These feel like tiny treasure bundles, each one full of personality. Your new trolley sounds like it will make the walk home a lot more enjoyable too.
Just awesome ALL, Chrissy! Love all the vintage goodness and am so impressed by your output. And I like your new trolley, too. I have one as well and makes walking to the shop much easier indeed.
What a clever, creative save! Love the way these turned out.
