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? :-)

OK, so I came and looked at these the night you put them here, and got side tracked before I could comment, and here I am, a couple days later, but I didn't want you to think I didn't look, and I LOVE to get comments in my blog, figure everyone else does, too! :)

These ARE fun! Once you get over the tiny-ness of them, they can be SO MUCH FUN! The divas did an atc swap a LOOONG time ago, and it was fun. I put all of mine into a mini book. I should get it out and share it with you. I"ll have to scan or take pics, though.

I LOVE your card, and I can't wait to see what you do with more of them! They really allow the artist in you to shine through! No rules, just fun! GREAT JOB! :)
