artist trading cards
OHHH and AHHH….the last fantastic round from our ATC (Artist Trading Cards) swap are due out tomorrow. We did have a few stragglers due to the busy time of the year and received a couple of sets just after the deadline (thanks girls for ringing to tell us that they were on the way). Never fear though, all entries have been accepted and the return to participants will be instore or mailed out first thing tomorrow morning. Thank you to all the ladies who joined this round even in the busy month of December and sent in inspiring ATC’s to share with others. If you have just started visiting our blog then you may want to find out more about our FREE monthly ATC swap by reading some of our previous posts on them, just click on the ATC category to the left of this page to see monthly entries. For a little bit of inspiration below are some of Elaine’s ATC’s. The 2 ATC’s on top are done with stamps from the awesome Lost Aussie unmounted rubber plates http://www.lostaussie.com. Marie Otero’s (Lost Aussie Designer/Owner) eclectic digital photo inspired images are premium unmounted sheets of rubber that are fantastic for atc’s! Check out Maries site for more information on this very talented artist who also happens to be one of our very good friends! Although Marie “really” resides in the US, this special lady spends several months a year living somewhere else……….where I hear you ask??? Where else but in our little nook of the world, Albany Western Australia where she grew up!! We have been more than lucky enough to have her teach and guest demo at Scrapbook Designs and can hopefully twist her arm to run another stellar workshop when she visits again in the New Year!! Stay tuned in the next couple of days for all details on our next ATC swap and we hope to see you enter! The more the merrier, so don’t hesitate to invite friends to join in too!
