You Are A Gem!

Hey, everyone!

I wanted to make a simple project, something that was quick and easy! I am still not feeling well so I wanted to do something that wouldn't take a lot of time. I thought I'd try to make some ATC's. ATC for those of you who don't know stands for Artist Trading Cards. These are only meant to be shared and swapped, never sold. The size of the ATC's are 2½" x 3½" and you can make them in portrait or landscape position.

I thought these would be especially cute for my daughter to make for her pen pals this month. Each month she writes to new pen pals and she answers letters from pen pals she already has! We try to come up with a neat card for her to make for each girl and with a long list of pen pals, plus a little girl who gets distracted pretty easily (LOL), I think this might be just the project for her.

I used Black Cardstock, Gentle Beginnings paper (retired), and Premium White Cardstock all from The Angel Company. The stars are from the HELLO SUNSHINE stamp set that was available last month! I am still lovin' this set! I used Reflection Blue Palette Hybrid Ink for the stars. The black ribbon is something I already had in my basket. The sentiment is from one of my most favorite stamp sets TREASURE SEEKER and it is being retired soon! If you don't have this set, I would highly recommend it. It's got a lot of great sayings in it and right now it's 25% off! I will definitely continue to use this set over and over!

Thanks for checking out my blog today! I hope to have more fun things to share with you over the weekend! Enjoy your day!

Hugs,
