Apr - May 2025 "Lest We Forget" Swap is now Open

         ****THIS SWAP IS NOW OPEN****

Hi Everyone

A big Thank You for those who joined the first swap for 2025. 

The ATC's were lovely. 

This swap I thought we would pay homage to the brave ANZAC's

who gave their time and in some cases lives so we could live in the democracy we have today.

The theme for this swap  is 'Lest We Forget'

Your ATC's should include the all things that are related with Anzac Day but most of all

include some beautiful red poppies.

2. If you commit to this swap please, out of consideration for all the

    part on a "first in" registration basis.
    I do hope you will participate - any questions feel free to leave a comment.

What is an Artist Trading Card?
An ATC is the acronym for Artist Trading Card.
For anyone new to ATC's, it is a small piece of original work that measures 2.5" x 3.5".
There is no right or wrong way to create an ATC - you just need to stick to the
measurements and the rest is up to your imagination.
