Do You Do ATC's?

I had heard somewhere--most likely in one of my many scrap mags--of the ATC's--Artist Trading Cards. I hadn't really thought of doing one--what would I do with it?
So out comes a challenge on a site to make an ATC. What the heck, right? But--what premise? What theme? I didn't even know where to begin.
It seems that the only "rule" is that they have to be 2.5" X 3.5". Well, I perused some galleries, and checked some out. There were a lot of Vintage sorts, some cartoony ones, and some really weird stuff that I don't want to know what they were! :-O
I had some graphics that I really like, and put the angel as the center. Then, I decided on an inspirational theme (maybe it would get my creative juices flowing, right?), and came up with some of my favorite words. A lot of them, scrappers have on their walls of their studio. So--here it is.It looks bigger in the scan than in real life. Of course, being the "rebel without a cause" that I am--I had to do a 3.5" X 2.5". He, He, He. Hey--I gotta be me! LOL :-)


So has anyone out there made one of these? I can see where they could get quite addictive. I may have to get one of those baseball card binders to keep them in--if I don't use them for page accents. Hmmmm--so many possibilities!

In other news, I have completed 16 Layouts, 2 altered items (a can, and a Sarabinder), 2 cards, and an ATC. Not too bad for February 22nd!
With the crops, challenges, and contests--I'm getting a lot done. I think I'm scrapping faster than I used to, also. I'm learning. :-) It helps having my scrap space organized. And--the more equipment and tools I get, the faster I can go. I just have to keep making space for all the new stuff. Aiy-Yie-Yie! Oh, well. I'll manage. Hee, hee, hee. :-)

Our weather here has warmed up, but we desperately need rain. I hope that we get some soon. I just hope and pray that we don't get any more hurricanes this year.

Well-stop in any time--hear y'all? :-)

February 6th, 2006--Happy New Year!--Finally

I am soooo glad that 2005 is over with, and we’re into a brand new year. Whew! With 3 hurricanes in a year here, my being so sick over and over, and then, the holidays—I’m ready for some peace and quiet!

So—I’ve been organizing my scrap room. I even took pics. I’ll share some, so that you can see where I scrap, surf the web, watch TV, and just about everything but sleep. LOL
Here’s most of my main desk area:














This is to my left:














This is to my right:



















This is behind me to my right:














Once I got things sorted, and set—I was ready to scrap!

I went to a three day crop this last weekend. I got 7 LO’s, and 2 altered items done! WhooHoo! And, I was honored to be named the Timeless Inspirations Scrapperbowl 2006 MVP! I am so flattered, and honored!
I was also on the winning team—the Steelers team.And, they won at the real Superbowl, too! LOL It was a fabulous crop full of fun, games, and challenges!
I can’t wait until the next one!

Well—I’m back, and there will be more coming soon! Stay tuned!
