It's time for the next round of ATC themes!

Come, join us and experience the joy of crafting with Wishful Thinking's Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) Swap! This is a fabulous and fun way to increase the number of ATCs in your own personal collection and at the same time, you'll be able to express your own creativity and share your artistic talent with others. All skill levels are welcome - anyone can make these! There's a new theme every month, which we post on Facebook, via email and on our website. Use whatever materials you already have in your craft closet or shop Wishful Thinking in person or online if you need something in particular. Guidelines are as follows:

o Make 6 cards and get 5 in return. You can make them all the same design, or all different. Don’t forget to sign the back with your contact information in case another artist would like to contact you about your ATC. Cards should measure 2.5” x 3.5”.

o Due dates are the 15th of the month (although we are flexible!). Upcoming themes are:

---- August: Ice Cream Cones – Who doesn't love an ice cream cone on a hot summer day?

---- September: Books – I just want to curl up with a good book, some bon-bons and a cup of tea!

---- October: Vintage Apothecary – Miniature poison labels and bottles, old-style botanical herbs, aged paper backgrounds to create a moody and somewhat creepy ATC

---- November: Fall Landscapes – Fall is such a beautiful season! Can you fit it on an ATC?

---- December: Stockings – Hang up those stockings near the fireplace 'cuz Santa's coming!

You’ll find more information about Artist Trading Cards and how to participate on our website. Our swap is FREE and it’s FUN! You’ll also find samples of previous swaps on our website: www.wishfulthinking-in.com
