Vintage...and I Mean VINTAGE! ATC Swap

Kimberly

at

ArtJoyStuff

hosted a

Vintage Paper ATC swap.

You couldn't use faux vintage or vintage inspired papers...

this was the real deal.

What a great challenge and great fun

searching through my

vintage stash.

Can't wait to see my vintage returns!

ATC Fun!

My friend Kimberly has the greatest swap going on and there's many, many weeks left to join in the fun. She's swapping an atc with a different artist every week for 52 weeks! She posts a picture of her current atc available for trade and if you're the lucky first person to comment, you get to swap!

I swapped with her week 7 for this beyond beautiful Paris atc.

This is the atc I made for her.

Ironically, the day I made and mailed it Kimberly had a foot of snow on the ground. This was probably not her theme of choice but I hope she grows to like it!

A Sweet Bunny & Nest of Eggs = Spring

Celebrating Spring is the theme for Kimberly's current atc swap. I was originally thinking birds and flowers but while scanning my images library, "somebunny" spoke to me.



Totally off topic.... My friend Paul has recently entered the world of blogging. Though not an artsy person per se, he is an eloquent wordsmith and knows more about cinema and celebrities than any person I know.
He has devoted his blog,
Pass the Popcorn Please,
(so far) to insightful and entertaining movie reviews. Please show him some blogger love and stop by to say hello!
