I am happy to introduce you to our Guest Designer this week - Heidi

Here's a little about Heidi in her own words:

My name is Heidi and I was born in '67. I live in a cosy red house by the lake and I find most of my inspiration in nature. My 3 children are grown up so I live with my 2 dogs and 6 birds. I work full time and the best way to unwind is to sit down and be creative. I've always expressed myself through creating. Over the past year I've fallen in love with card making. And my favourite style is Vintage and Shabby Chic. I really enjoy taking part of this blogophere - since I started my blog in June last year, I've got to know many wonderful, creative and talented people. Thank you Kirsty for inviting me to be a guest designer this week. I'm honored!

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #61 ~ ATC

Hi everyone! It's me Linda back for a fun challenge! I just wanted to start by saying I really loved last week's challenge. It was so fun and different. I do hope you guys like it as much as we did. So onto this week's challenge. It is also something a little different than what we have done before.... we want you to make an ATC (Artist Trading Card). They are pretty fun and if you have never tried one before, this is your perfect chance.

There are only a couple of rules for an ATC...

1. They should be 2.5" x 3.5" in size, the same size as a playing card

2. If you are going to trade your card, make sure you have your info on the back of the card.

3. You are no suppose to sell them, they are FOR TRADE ONLY!

you can click on this link to see a video on ATC

Well, we can't wait to see all your little pieces of ART!

~ Linda Robinson

NOTE - Since it is a trading card, we thought we would do a little swap, if you are interested, please scroll to the bottom of this post to sign up for the ATC swap.

Week 61 ~ ATC

Thanks to Ros for putting this inspiration photo together for CCCB!
