This a new design idea I had tonight. Clip boards the size of ATCs, made from cardboard. I call them Sherre's Clippies. This one is called "A Glorious Human Boy", which is from Charles Dickens.

This is the front cover of a small Japanese Stab Book for Artist's Trading Cards. Inside are sleeves to hold ATCs. I improvised on the stitching a bit. It isn't as intricate as some.
