I had just joined ATCsforall.com and posted ATCs. When someone wanted to trade, I would ask if they could make an ATC specially for me- with any of these themes- travel, Paris, Mona Lisa, Rome, Assisi, Madonna and child, etc. They usually obliged and I was able to use these ATCs made specially for me, for my scrapbook!
Here's my desk and what I've been working on, and some of the pages I finished, and the ATCs I have yet to use!

pile of pictures waiting to be used.
I find that when I'm using ATCs, I'm happy with a simple page. After all, I've got a miniature work of art already there on the page. With so many pictures to scrapbook, that's a big plus!container of brushes and scissors,
