This week's theme for the Artist Trading Card Challenge (ATC3) is "Family".
Please put ATC3 in the Keywords space so we can more easily find one anothers work. And please comment on each anothers' work. We all love to get comments.
This week our household has gone from 2 adults and 2 dogs to 2 adults, 2+ teenaged girls (our girls are home from visiting their grandparents for the summer + various friends who are in and out visiting), my 22 year old son home on leave from the Army, and still 2 dogs. There hasn't been a quiet moment here since we got home from the airport Tuesday night/Wednesday morning - I'm not even sure what time it was.
Anyway, it's great to have them all here, but gone is my quiet daily routine. So that's our theme. What does having family mean? Who is your family? What does your family do? What represents your family?
Have fun, and I'm looking forward to learning more about you and your family through the Artist Trading Cards you create.
OK, I was just minding my own business when I happened to see a new challenge. Now that you've got my interest, what is an Artist's Trading card? What are the parameters? Is it really the size of trading cards, and by the way, what is the size of a trading card? I've love to play if I could please have a set of the rules....
Thanks,
Wendy

There have been a few threads going around about them and a spread about them in a recent Paper Crafts magazine. They are 3 1/2 by 2 1/2. They are for trading and are never sold. They fit into standard trading card sleeves or they can be put onto a card front. I would do a search here and on the internet to learn more.

Wendy the rules are pretty simple:
1. Size: 3 1/2" X 2 1/2" (Yes, that's the size of a trading card, so if you can steal a kids baseball trading card notebook, you'll have something to store them in. )
2. These are trading cards to be traded only - not for sale.
Here's mine. I didn't scan very well. Anyways, I grew up on a farm in Ohio and my entire family is still farms my Great-Grandfather's land to this date. So this is what I think of when I think of my family. Hope you like.
Here is my first ATC I have made.
This has been stuck in my head dying to get out.
If you go to my gallery you will see the meaning of the card.
I do not know how to put a link in this message sorry....

This is great! I love it! Thank you so much for sharing this with the rest of us.
You can put a link in your message to the card by going to the card, highlighting the address at the top of the page, copy the link, then go to your message and paste in the message. You can do the same thing to put a link to your gallery in your signature. That may not make a lot of sense. I'm sure there are others who can explain it better.
