Hi all thought it was about time we got this on the road. How about we do a theme to start of with till we get some made up we could take photos of them and put them on here. We could do a month theme or fortnightly give us your thoughts

Guys - in your web searching, did you come across these sites:
http://www.illustratedatcs.com/
http://www.atcsforall.com/

There's a free 'art trader' magazine in pdf format to download in the first one. I haven't looked at it yet.. it's still downloading so I can't comment on content. (I'm on dialup.)

The thing is you could go international with your cards. That could be fun, eh.

.. that free magazine has downloaded and actually it isn't bad. There's quite a lot in it.

Hi Beachbum. Thanks for the websites I have had a quick look its great saved the sites so I can have a good look tomorrow. Are you keen to join in with us more the merrier as they say.

Hiya Juliem.
Yeah I might do in the future sometime. My main interest right now is miniature watercolors which are about the same size.

Im still in the process of learning so dont feel ready for trading just yet... but I hope to get back to you on that one.

I was just wondering how these Artist Trading Cards progressed? What stage is everyone at? Have you finished any yet? I would like to see any finished ones posted on here I see some people sell theirs on EBay.

Hi, I'm new to this site, I joined because I have been looking for a swap group for Artist Trading Cards. I am a scrapbooker and cardmaker and have done a few ATCs, they really are quite addictive! Did this group ever get off the ground, or are there people out there who want to start. Just bear in mind that if you join a group a certain level of commitment is needed as it's very frustrating to spend lots of time making your cards and others don't meet deadlines or put in any effort. I can help any newbies with the concept which is really very simple. Hope to hear from someone out there
