Hi Lynne
I'd suggest you nip out and grab a copy of Simply Stamping magazine (WHSmiths should stock it) - this issue has a free gift of a minibook all about ATCs, with lots of inspiring examples and some free images to use :) The mag itself is great too - lots of inspiration and ideas :)

yup, I'd second that - great magazine :)

you might also like to try the websire links on the atc thread and the stampingtons website- magazines available there but they can be pricey :)

somerset studio mag is a great source of inspiration for atcs and altered arts.

Therres a book called (I think) an anthology of atcs which has been recommended to me, but Ive not seen a copy so couldnt comment!! A couple of the sponsors had it.

The new SS mag is out on the 25th of this month - so still a few weeks to wait :(
Modern Scrapbooking has a couple of ATC books here (http://www.modernscrapbooking.co.uk/shop/index.php?cPath=546_549&******=42096da96b13acecdd3146b810190a2e) and various other atc bits and pieces too :)
I just got my first copy of the Somerset Studio mag - the artwork in it is fab, tho the text is very airy fairy imho, in that way that serious artists have (dahhhling). Hasn't put me off tho cos two days later I've ordered their Gallery mag :rolleyes:
