Hi All,

Sorry, I've been away a while and I'm new at this, so please forgive me if I've missed something. What's the status on this challenge, is it over, and where can I see the pictures? I think it's a great idea, so I'm looking forward to seeing all the creative submissions! Thanks!

Oh, nevermind, I just found them. Sorry! Congrats to the winners!

[Retta]

No worries Patty. There are going to be more. They just finished an ATC swap and are finishing up a bead swap. Some challenges should be coming soon.

[Patty]

Thank you, Retta. I know this is a silly question, but can you tell me what ATC stands for? I see it a lot here.

[Retta]

Not silly at all. They are artist trading cards. Usually the same size as a ball card. 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. On the back is the person who made them's info. The only other rule is that they are never sold only given or traded.

@Patty here are a couple of links to some posts on the forum that show pictures of some of the ATC's that have been created and swapped among members

Nice! Thank you both for getting back to me. I had seen pictures of them in the challenge topic, but had thought that perhaps they were business-card sized. Thanks for letting me know what the ATC stands for. Hmmm, I'm thinking I will need to work on one now... Thanks again, I'm really in awe of the artistic, helpful people here.

Patty - I am sure we will be doing another swap soon. There will be a new thread about it when someone is ready to host one.
