Valentine ATC Swap, 2016

Before you know it, Valentine's Day will be here. This year - probably for the first time ever - I was able to post a swap  before the holiday happened. In my Facebook group Zentangle All Around, we are currently holding an ATC swap. A 9 for 9 swap, which means you make nine ATCs and you receive nine ATCs in return. People are mailing me their ATCs now that they created, and at the end of this month I will set them up in groups of nine each and mail them back to the participants. This is a smattering of what I made for the swap. None of the entire ATCs show here. ATC stands for Artist Trading Card and they are the same size as a baseball card - 2.5" x 3.5". We trade them in little plastic sleeves and they are greatly treasured.  In my personal collection I have ATCs from all over the world. Little glimpses into the hearts of artists that have become friends -  truly all around the globe. So. Happy early Valentine's Day from me to you!
