Thanks Camille!!
Yes, I started the blog thinking I would use it and never did.
Once I started scrapping and swapping, I thought I better resurrect the blog.
See you over on SB!! maybe we will be swap partners some day.

The 2nd ATC didn't come out as good as I'd hoped
But!!! Since it was an Artistically Challenged ATC, I can get away with it.
My swap partner reads a book a day, so I wanted to make it look like a book. She likes different shades of greens and listens to classical music, so I incorporated those ideas, it still didn't come out very artistic. I sent it anyway since I already spent 2 hours on it...God I hope she likes it!! This is actually the "copy" that I made to keep, I forgot to take a pic of hers before I sent it. So hers will be a little bit nicer than this one. I tore and distressed a piece of sheet music (my husband plays the Euphonium in a wind symphony), and die cut the music note, painted it with white acrylic, stamped it in black stazon and put a few coats of UTEE on it. The "binding" of the book is some textured paper sprayed with Color wash sprays and then perfect pearls mist. Anyway, I don't really draw, so my ATCs are more scrapbook style....
I need to go work on the summer trip scrapbook and get that guy finished!!!
Have a great day!

My very first ATC swap
My swap partner likes Pandas so I incorporated one here.
The ATC (Artist Trading Card) had to have a puzzle piece on it. So I used alcohol inks, stamped it and embossed it with UTEE.
Now on to my next swap!!
