Hey, how’s it going? If you follow me on social media you may have heard me waffle/moan about having a bit of a creative block recently. Sorry about that.
To clear my ‘channels’ I decided to go back to doing daily mini creative thingys. You know, random stuff.
It’s been a while, but I can confidently say that I am at my happiest in a long LONG time. In addition, I am never happier than when I am making and creating, which is more often these days – perhaps a link there?
Anyway, it was this ethos that went into this artist trading card.
How to sum up some of my favourite things in a space 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches … ?
That was the challenge for this mini mixed media creation. Read on to see how I got on, and what was included.

You, yes you. You are forever in my heart. You’ve been with me as I’ve gone through good times and more difficult times. I really appreciate it, but I am not sure that I say it enough.
Anyhoo, that was the thought behind this make.

Following a little sale haul from the Visible Image website, I managed to snag a few cool sentiments to add to my collection of their wonderful designs. One in particular just had to used as soon as the envelope was opened.
Fancy a look?
It can take a good amount of toil and laying around in poop to make a beautiful flower truly bloom. Obviously, the flower lays in the poop, not you.
This week’s Artist Trading Card celebrates the fruits of those labours.
Fancy a look?
Today I have another Artist Trading Card to share with you. This one again has a bit of a theme based around recent life events.

Having had some Stampboard in my rubber stamping supplies for some time I thought that it was time that I put it to good use.
In this week’s Stamp It Sunday, I did just that and coupled it with some cool Stampscapes stamps to create a dreamy landscape.Read More »
So, I haven’t forgotten the little challenge that I set myself at the start of the year and so, whilst I don’t think that I’ll make it to 365 ATCs, I’ve still got quite a few that I need to share with you before the year is out.
Today will see four themed Artist Trading Cards depicting the elements, earth, air, fire and water.
Do you ever head into the craft room only to discover that it’s a complete mess and you have no idea how it happened?
This happened to me recently – so I decided to get the experts in.

Here we are at Artist Trading Card 94. I’m a little behind schedule but still enjoying making these little creations!
Today’s mini make follows on from yesterday’s cardstock tester and again uses the Paper Milk cardstock from Paper Cutz.

Well, it’s been a while since I last posted but thanks to early sunrises and late sunsets I’ve managed to fit in a spot of colouring.

The Artist Trading Card series of posts continues with number 92 – can you believe that I have made 92 of these little beauties already – that’s over a quarter of the way through the year?!
Despite being a little behind with getting them all complete and online I am so proud right now that I could burst!
Today’s little monster make started out with a little Color Burst from Ken Oliver again. This time though, it inspired a whole different feeling.
For this Artist Trading Card I thought that I would venture back into the realm of the abstract and colour fun.
