I love participating in swaps. You get some great ideas. Since cards take up a lot of space, I will do ATC (Artistic Trading Cards) swaps as you can put 9 in the trading card protectors and store in a notebook. While looking on Splitcoast I found a Penny Black ATC swap and decided to try and see what I get back. Here is the one I made. I love the Penny Black images (especially the…
Well today has been one of those days. I blinked and the day is gone. I had so much to do and I am still not done.

The ladies from several of the blogs I read have joined forces to create a new blog where they post weekly challenges. Each week one of the members chooses a color, sketch, accessories, etc. to use to create a card. They then all create a card following the guidelines and post it.
