10/10

First things first! Happy 14th Birthday to my baby Trent!! I really have a hard time accepting the fact both my children are teenagers in high school....inside, I am still a rockin' 21 year old lol ♥ Next year we are planning a big party for Trent because his birthday will be 10/10/10 -- that's gonna be a very cool day!

Speaking of "cool" in another sense....this is what we woke up to today - ugh....way too early for snow!! GO AWAY SNOW

So lately I have been on this kick of making ATC's - which are Artist Trading Cards. Basically, you are given a theme and you create a 2.5 x 3.5 card to send to your partner and receive one in return. I really enjoy making ATC's...I made some years ago (like 2004) when my friends and I were in a MSN Scrapbook group called "Scrappin' Savvy" but hadn't made any until just last month again. At first, it was a bit of a challenge wondering how to get things on such a small space but after a few tries, I am getting better. I really admire the people who make the collage effect on their cards. My style is far from that. I love linear and layering....here are a few I have recently made and swapped on Swap-Bot. And for the record, I am now totally addicted to swap-bot lol.....
