Artist Trading Cards






Many years ago, I'd carry a little black spiral book in my purse and whenever I'd read a book, article, or write a poem in my head, I'd jot some passages that resonated with me in that book.  I filled that little book up with many notes and poems I'd written, and put it away and forgot about it.  An Artist Trading Card challenge was hosted at Swirlydoos and through that challenge I found a way to create something pretty to document those important phrases and poems that meant so much to me at one time.  The above are an example of a few I created.

  3. My word, I am smitten with this stunningly lovely ATCs. I've never felt the urge to venture into ATC territory, but if ever anything could inspire me to, these beautiful creations would be it.

    Many heartfelt thanks for your blog comment today, sweet Joyce, I sincerely appreciate it.


    Wishing you a serene evening,
    Jessica
