This one's for my dad - an ATC (artist trading card) in his memory. I used a cool barcode font and scanned his actual Coke shirt to make the background under his picture. Adding the bottlecap made this ATC come to life. This project was for an ATC swap with a group from Paper Crafts Magazine, and I am anxiously awaiting the mailman's arrival to see what I receive from others. Jan. 2006

Midnight Stars

One of my New Year's resolutions is to finish projects that have already been started. One of the first I have tackled is this miniature quilt. It measures 25 inches square and is made up mostly of batiks - love them! Only thing left is to hand quilt my little beauty.

Here are a few pics of a series of mini albums thatI have made just in time for Christmas gifts. I used Debbie Mumm paper for the covers, accordion folded cut sheets of artist paper for the pages, and used jump rings to attach library pockets inside.

I recently discovered a new craft - artist trading cards. They are the same size as a baseball card and are made and traded for free with other ATC collectors. My first try is in memory of my mom and I call it "She".

On the Simple Scrapbooks website, I found several people posting messages for ATC swaps. I'm signed up for one that's due the end of January. It'll be interesting to see what I get.
