Hi Everyone

HAPPY NEW YEAR
I hope that you have all stayed safe over the holiday season and if
any of you have been touched by fire,flooding and heatwave I hope 
you are all OK. It has been a horrible time in many areas and in some
cases still ongoing.
I hope you are all ready for another year of making and swapping ATC's
as I have some interesting themes in store for you.

The first theme for the year is 'Button Up.'
As the theme suggests you must use buttons of any type on your ATC's.
I am looking forward to all your ideas.
I hope you enjoy it.

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.
