ATC stands for Artist Trading Card. It is a personal work of art the size of a playing card. Themes are made up and you create your work of art on one side of a playing card or a piece of cardstock cut the size of a playing card. This is new to me, but here are some that I have created and swapped.



The Sparkly Halloween ATC Swap I was a part of:


The Food ATC Swap I was a part of:


The Owl ATC Swap I was a part of:


This is what the back of my cards look like:


Would any of you like to create and swap ATC's? They are easy becuase it is like an assembly line. Cut, stamp, glitter, etc. right on down the line. Let me know.

We could have some fun with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas coming up. Use them for decorations around the house. Hmmmmm....got ya thinking do I?

Have a good day!

I'd be up to doing it after the holidays..before the Spring hits, during the blahs of winter.

Futters,
please sign me up. Wow! I am really going to enjoy being in the farmgirl sisterhood. What a blast!!!!You ladies do the neatest things. I guess it is time for me to take my old creativity out of the closet, shake her until the dust bunnies fall off and run for their lives. LOL!

Looking forward to brain overload. Hey that is the reason chocolate was invented.LOL!

May you be blessed by a smile from all you encounter today.

You've done some cute atcs! I would love to get in on this. I have only done a couple, and they were actually jams, not completed atcs. So I think I need to do my very own!

These kind of swaps have helped me get back into the creative side of my brain that I let just lounge around for way too long. Please include me! thanks

Hi Starletta, I would love to join in. ATC card swaps is what got me intrested in the paper line of art. I was trading recipe cards and atc cards with a group of women here at home, they fizzled out. It was fun and I miss it. I say its an easy fast fix of creativity. Please count me in.
Thanx

No, I have never seen ATC's and thank you, Futters, for showing me the light!! My mind immediately started racing with ideas. YES, I want to be in this swap - no matter the time or theme. This is awesome stuff...like mini scrapbooking. I think it would be great to sign the card we create and strive to have a 'deck' of Farmgirl Cards.
P.S. Your photos are inspirational - you are good!
