For all the new girls coming in, I thought this might be helpful so all will know about ATC's.
Artist Trading Cards (ATC) are small works of art. They are 2 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches long. You may use scrapbook paper and glue it onto a sturdy card board or card stock backing. You can also use regular playing cards as a backing.
Usually ATC's will have a theme and you create your work of art according to the theme. You may use whatever you choose to create your card, however, just sticking a sticker on the card and calling it an ATC is not the idea behind an ATC.
You can use brads, chipboard stickers, craft paper, scrapbook papers, paper doilies, ribbon, rhinestones, etc to decorate your card.
On the back you need to include your name, your user name for Mary Jane Farm, the date, the name of the swap, and the number of the card. Example: If you make 10, you would number them as, 1 of 10,2 of 10, etc.
Each swap will be different as to the number of cards you will make and the theme of the swap. The best way to know what ATC's are is to join a swap, make yours and receive the others.
We have seen that sending all the cards to one person and that person sorting them and mailing them back to each farmgirl, keeps the cost of postage way down. You will send 5 postage stamps to the person hosting if they choose to handle it that way. Just have fun....
Hope this helps.......Smiles

Jan,
You are absolutely correct . . . just enjoy them! I do!
I think you can display them however you want or put them in an album . . . just however you want to do it.
I display mine on a frame display I made until I'm ready to change them out with new ones and then they go in an album with pocket pages. But I certainly go back to my album and look them over again.
Yup . . enjoy them!
CJ

The pictures ...included for each of the ATCs sent.
http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=49363
were beautiful works of art, but after you receive them, do you scrapbook them? Make a wall collage?
I am still a bit confused. I think we are supposed to just enjoy having them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Beth not only did you take the time to email me a few days ago to explain to me what an ATC was but you even went further on here. I finally totally understand. Thank you again for your time to explain to us newbies....now I am getting so excited about doing one of these. I got to get all my stuff out of storage...been there since I moved...I have wanted to start crafting again and along came MJF...so here I go...
