The hardest thing about making ATCs is finding inspiration. That’s when Pinterest comes in handy. Even if you don’t have a Pinterest account, you can still use it!
If you do have a Pinterest account, I suggest you make an ATC board. So when you’re stuck on what to do next with your ATC, all you have to do is pull open your board.
Today I’m going to share some of my favorite pins off my ATC Inspiration Board.
This. Is. So. Cute. And such a good idea!
The flags are so cute! This ATC reminds me of a Spring picnic.
What a pretty way to express your love for reading and music.
Yum…
Double yum!
Quadruple yum! (Do you get it?)
This reminds me my favorite kind of Rita’s water ice. (Can you guess what flavor it is?)
Every time I look through ATCs I’ve pinned, I want to make a new one! Which is all good, since making art is therapeutic and makes you feel good. (Have you ever noticed that for yourself?)
Since ATCs seem to be a hit in this blogging community, I’ve been thinking a lot about hosting a safe, online ATC trade. I would organize it the way we’re planning SwapShop. So all the cards will come to me, and I will send them out to the person you traded with, so no one would know your address, besides me. And, of course, you’ll have to get your parent’s permission before trading.
If you think you’d be interested in the trade, tell me in the comments. If there seems to be enough interest, I’ll work on a post with all the details.
Would you be interested in participating in an ATC trade?

Yup, Pinterest is amazing (and very time-sucking)! I know, I love making ATCs! Oh, I think you’re confused? The trade would just be a little version of what SwapShop will be like once we get it all coded. So the trade I’m talking about will be just a trade among bloggers, on my blog… I hope you get it…

I completely agree with you on that one. I spend hours at a time on it sometimes. XD
Oh, yes! I said that a bit weird, didn’t I? 😜 Sorry for the confusion.
