Whew -- I just finished making my artist trading cards for tomorrow night's swap at the ATC Exchange Group. I was sincerely thinking I wasn't going to be able to get to the ATCs because of the plaster cloth work lately.
I also added some color to the edges of my house book pages...I wasn't happy with the white edges.
This month's theme for the ATCs is "Light & Dark". I thought of coffee immediately. The end result is somewhat different from my original idea, but I kept getting a bit carried away with hints of color. I like my cards.

| coloring the images |
 |
| hand lettering the cards |
 |
| adhering the cards to M:tg cards for added weight/stability |
 |
| the finished cards -- I am going to keep one |
And the house book pages...
 |
| half of the pages have the purple/green edges and half have the blue/green ones -- they look better in person |

Hey, Took! Peggy emailed me and I thought of you! Hope all is well! I think of you often. Spikey is doing well. Love the ATC's, by the way. - Tammy
Thanks, Tammy -- good to hear from you! I am working on completing the other "Spikey" guy -- I hope he turns out as well as the original.
