Sarah over at La-De-Dah has a regular feature called My Monthly Mojo and for the month of January, she features Artist Trading Cards, the little works of art that are a great way to be creative even when you don't have that much time.
Of course I had to play along since it was making ATCs that got me started on painting bigger pieces and making other projects.
I started making ATCs and then trading them in ATCs for All, where everyone is welcome to join in the fun of trading.
I haven't done any trading recently but Sarah's post inspired me to make some ATCs again.
I colored them with watercolor, colored pencils, copic markers, poster paints, and whatever else I have.
I then added scrap paper, magazine cutouts, stamped images, and other bits and pieces.
I still have a few more to finish (making a lot all at the same time makes it easier for me to part with them). And just to say thank you to my visitors, I'm giving away one of these ATCs on Valentine's day. Let me know in a comment if you would like a chance to own one of these and if you are a follower, let me know in a separate comment for a second chance to join this giveaway.
And if you haven't yet, you might want to join my giveaway for the My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software. Hugs to all of you!

Peggy, these are simply beautiful! I love the colors and their expressions! I'm new to art world and I'm glad you posted the links, especially ATCs for All. :)
Oh Peggy, all of them are totally beautiful! Gorgeous!! Do you only trade? Or sell as well?
Oh Peggy these are all so lovely indeed - take your breath away - and as they are ATC's they are really more amazing as dont believe they take less time because they are smaller - there is wonderful detail on these that is quite incredible and yes am a follower and would love to go into the draw - thanks for the opportunity, Shaz in oz.x

These are all gorgeous, so delicate. I have been wanting to make atcs but still haven't gotten around to it. I'd love to have one of yours.
I always love your painted faces and I absolutely adore these beauties. So delicate and pure but also with depth and allure. The layering of paint over the book pages is magical...each in fabulous colours and with her own personality... a wonderful collection of petite lovelies! Thanks so much for sharing your art with My Mojo Monthly! Sarah.
These are very beautiful, you have a wonderful style.
These are all so gorgeous. And they make me miss my purple hair!

These are all so sweet! I especially like the first one. I recently did a little painting and they are very fun to do. Trading them is such a fun idea too.
These are all beautiful and I am so envious of people who can draw like you can.
I love your faces! I have made a few ATCs, but haven't really gotten bitten by that bug...now I might try it again!
Wow, these cards are so beautiful!
WOW - your ATCs are amazing x
Awesome ATCs! You do great art.
Smiles~

Longtime follower. Still amazed at your art. I wish my ATCs were a quarter as good as yours.
I feel bad asking to join in the drawing for one of your atc's as I had some in the pif but I love what you do so had to swallow and ask.
Hugs, Neet xx
Just to say that I am a follower too.
Blesssinbgs, Neetxx
