Scrapbooking is for letting off steam, ca'm mind, I do not think of anything during that time. Because I'm at home, I look after my three children and suddenly I do not see anybody : scrapbooking has allowed me to talk on a lot forums and I participate in challenges that bring me full of different techniques and virtual girlfriends and sometimes real encounters , it's really cool!

Patricia Bolton

Making artist trading cards (ATCs) is a hugely popular activity for artists.

ATCs are mini art works, the size of a playing card, often created as limited editions. The back of each card contains the artist's name and contact information.

This collection inspires with 1,000 original cards in a beautiful pageant of color, composition, and creative use of materials. The book also includes a special section devoted to explaining what ATCs are, how to get started, and includes some exciting technique information.
