'Kawaii' ATC swap

Over at Swap-Bot, I have joined in a Kawaii ATC swap. 'Kawaii' literally translated means 'cute' in Japanese, but the Kawaii style has become bigger than just a name, and characters such as 'Hello Kitty' have been created as a result of its popularity.

Anyway.............here are my 2 ATCs.

I was inspired by Sue's ATC from another swap (thanks Sue!) and 'borrowed' her idea of the diagonal pocket housing further elements....(see the post below for pics of Sue's lovely ATC.) 

Inside each pocket, is a folded zig-zag of Kawaii friends....

Then each little 'zig-zag' then refolds to fit back inside the diagonal pocket! Almost forgot to say, I purchased the 'Kawaii Girl Collection' graphics for these over at Cardmaking Downloads.

To be totally honest, I am a bit nervous about this swap! When I signed up I knew what 'Kawaii' meant, and thought it would be fun to try something a bit different! But then.............I started reading some of the profiles of the others taking part in the swap, and they are into collecting Kawaii merchandise BIG-TIME! They have huge lists of likes and dislikes, including specific designers of Kawaii merchandise etc....I had NO IDEA it would be quite as specific as that....just hope mine are ok, as they can be quite harsh with their ratings over on Swap-Bot too!!!!! Oh well, I was pleased with how they turned out, and I hope you like them too!
