Trading Cards

Jan 24, 2006 7 Replies

I finally got the trading cards from the LSS Book Club scanned. These are not all of them. Some of the members have been missing due to the recent holidays and work schedules. These are not ATC's in any shape or form. They are just meant to be like baseball cards - telling a little about yourself type of cards. I had never made one before and mine definitely looks like a first-timers type of card. So be gently on me. I wish I had some of the sites RJ had posted before I made mine. They are in the swaps album on my webshots account.

Sandy I think your card looks great! And yes I'm similar to you I'd have mine turned the opposite way of everyone too. Why do we do things like that? Not on purpose it just happens. I don't think it matters though. But you definitely gave me something to think about. I hadn't even thought about them being seen in a certain direction.

Those are some cute trading cards Sandy, and yours looks just fine! I am still not sure how I am going to create my ATC card. The sample one I made so far is the wrong direction, but I like it that way! Hmm..I may have to rethink my design. This ATC thing is going to be very challenging for me, but I LIKE it that way....heehee! Linda C

I haven't checked out Sandy's yet, but if you mean by wrong direction sideways, my first two cards are sideways. The rest will be long ways though. I didn't really figure it mattered. They're nothing like what I intended to do. Once I sat down I just started making them that way w/out really thinking. Mine aren't all going to be the same. I have three done so far. Two alike and one different.

You mean there's a wrong way? :-) It looks fine to me, Sandy. I've got one done. (How sad! LOL) The second one is coming along. I haven't planned any of them out, I'm just doing them and seeing what comes out of this little brain I have. LOL

I like your card Sandy. I really like the way you used the beads on the slide mount. Very nice.

I thought these looked great!

I don't really believe in rules applying to art, though I am following the rules of the swap, of course. Some of my cards turn one way and some another. Some can be turned either way.

My info on the back is written as a poem. Am I going to be in trouble for that?

I'm sorry I'm not here more. My ISP only lets me log on once every few days.

Hugs, Rach

I can't wait to see everybody's cards! Deb, it sounds like you and I are using the same method. Rach, I like the idea of a poem. Mine won't have one though because I'm just not that creative.
