April's FREE Artist Trading Card Kit of the month

Here is this month's kit which is free with every order that you place this month. This month's theme is Easter, so everything in the kit relates to the pastel colors of Easter. The 2 - 3" x 4" cardstock pieces on the left may change, and you will be receiving only one of the pieces of ribbon shown. You will also receive an ATC card base, 3 choices of cardstock pieces and a brad to attach your flower sequines. The vintage Easter image will also be different for each packet, but you should have enough things to make one Easter Artist Trading Card with even a card sleeve for it when it is complete. So Enjoy!

Oh, I'm still wwoooing over Johnny Depp, and still can't believe I totally froze up when I met him!

Yes, this is Johnny Depp!!!!!

While on Puerto Rico we were visiting Old San Juan. It just so happens that a store owner asked me if I liked Johnny Depp. Dumb question?! He told us he will filming down the street right around the corner at the Old San Juan Hotel. He was filming his new movie, "The Rum Diary". After his filming for the day, he actually came out and greeting all of his fans. This is a photo of him shaking my hand!!! I was so frozen that I didn't say a word to him!!! Of course this was the highlight of my trip! I have more photos of him, but I don't want to bore you with those, LOL!

February's FREE ATC Kit of the Month

HERE IS FEBRUARY'S FREE ARTIST TRADING CARD KIT OF THE MONTH

Throughout the month of February, each customer will receive a free Valentine's Day ATC kit with every order that they place. If you would rather receive one of January's kits instead, then please make a note in the comment section at the time of checkout that that would be your preference. Otherwise, everyone will receive this Valentine's kit fun of LOVE! Some of the items may vary thoughout the month, ie. the vintage photos, but you will receive enough goodies to make at least one Valentine Artist Trading Card.

Here's the ATC I made, but used some white cardstock and will save the Heart Brad, ribbon and extra cupids for another project:

Just for fun

I ran across this summer photo, and that I'd show you my 2 cockatiels, and our green iguana (he's peeking over my shoulder. He's 3 feet long now, so he looks small here.

I missed wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I can't believe it is the 2009! I hope all of you had an enjoyable Christmas. Whether you were where it was cold and snowy, or sunny and warm, I hope that the true meaning of Christmas warmed your heart. I don't get into New Year celebrations, so I stayed home and welcomed the new year with my family. May 2009 bring you new friends, good health, and peace.
I will upload my Christmas and New Years ATCs over the the weekend.

For those bloggers who might not know, I thought I would tell you, or show you, what gets placed in every order. Every month I pick a theme and create a FREE ATC kit that would go with that month. ie. October was a Halloween kit, December was Christmas. Below is a sample of the free Artist Trading Card kit that you will get with every order in January. You will receive 2 - 3" X 4" pieces of pattern paper, a blank white ATC to use as your base. You will also receive a Vintage snowy collage picture (cut from the yourATCstore Snow Fun Collage Sheet), a few embellishments, a piece of coordinating ribbon and an ATC sleeve to place your ATC in once you have made yours. The products may vary depending on what I put together as the month goes on, but I'm sure you'll have fun with the free kit. Throughout February, customers will be receiving a Valentines/Love ATC kit. I will try and post a photo around the end of January, so you can see what will be coming with the free February kit.

JANUARY'S FREE ATC KIT

Here is a close-up of 2 of the kits

Here is a photo of 8 of the kits

Here is a closeup of the patterned papers used; you will receive 2 of these.

Sending Smiles until next time....

My, My December already?!

Wow, I can't believe that Christmas time is upon us already! It's that time of year when we send to loved ones and old friends, those annual Christmas cards. This year, why not send along a Christmas Artist Trading Card that you've made, or perhaps one that might be suitable for that one special person that you made a few months back. Share of bit of yourself this year; send an ATC to a loved one or that lost friend. You never know, you might just get one in return. One thing's for sure, it will bring a smile to someones face. As I always say, Sending Smiles!

STORE SPECIAL UNTIL NOVEMBER 2008

Happy Thanksgiving to all! My Thanksgiving ATC using Inkssentials Crackle. Here is a special just for you.

I decided to add some goodies to the NEW 7 Gypsies ATC Tins. I am putting together a special ATC kit for those who purchase any of the new 7 Gypsies Artist Trading Card Tins; one kit for every tin that you buy. For example, if you purchase 3 tins, you will receive 3 special ATC kits, if you purchase 5 tins, you will receive 5 ATC kits and so on. The kit will features baseball cards; these are great to use for a sturdy background; I just cover them with cardstock, and then start creating my ATC. There will also be blank ATCs papers, ATC sleeves, foreign language ephemera and other misc. ephemera, fancy fibers, silver charms, waxed linen, misc. paper pieces, an assortment of embellishments, and whatever else I decided to stick in the kit. Each kit will be different. That way you can get a great assortment of things to help you create your artist trading cards, or other altered art projects. Special lasts until November 30, 2008.
