This weekend has been my first ever venture at trying ATC's - I am hooked! read the mag from cover to cover.

Started with my first one and thought - well I am not fussed on this.... By the time I had completed my 3rd ATC I was tinking, I migh get into this I have just finished my 10th and have spent a fortune online last night getting more 'bits' which I simply MUST have to do more of these little beauties.

But I have a question..

Do I put the back details on last after I have finished my ATC or do I start with that and add things to thje other side?

I have tried both methods but I dont seem to be able to keep the back clean:rolleyes:

What does everyone else do?

:lol: they are addictive aren't they - I put my details on the back afterwards on a sticker- it then covers any mess i have made- although i make a bit less mess these days

well i have made a few now, and i tend to put the sticker on the back last and then put it in to a plastic protective sleeve. :)

thats what I do- I bought a pack of printer labels. designed a back for the ATCS and printed- then they cover any brads etc when you have finished= however, sometimes it looks a bit bumpy lol!

But its the front that counts!

Ahhh.... so you use Stickers! Thats the secret - I thought it seemed a bit messy gluing a back on thats why I tried to start with them.

I cant trade these as they are for a swap.

Give me time to get sick of doing them then I will trade...
