7 Gypsies Printer Trays and Photo Trays RECEIVED!!

This is the *NEW* 7 Gypsies 4 inch by 6 inch Photo Tray

Yesterday I received the new 7 Gypsies 4 in. x 6 in. Photo Trays in Black and White and more of the ATC Printer Trays in Black as well as new stock of the White. These make great Christmas gifts that you can personalize with family photos. Whether it be for Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, that new bride and groom, or sharing photos of the new addition to your family. These also can easily be mailed in a USPS Priority box to those family members and loved ones. There is no better gift than the gift of family!

Here is November's Free Artist Trading Card Kit of the Month

Here is a photo of the FREE November ATC kit. The theme is Ancestry. For those newbees, this ATC kit is given to customers for any order they place in the month of November. Although, I have added 3 different colors of Bazzill cardstock to the mix. Here is the list of items that you will receive in your kit: 2 - different pieces 3" x 4" cardstock, a vintage photo, a piece of 1" x 4" matching cardstock, some vintage lace, a cream/white button (they are very old, some 75 years), a clear Acrylic ATC (these are brand new; this way you get a free sample), a blank white 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" card, and lastly, a sleeve to slide your ATC into once you're done. A silver charm will also be included with every order. Don't forget too, you can always some of your own stash when creating your ATC.

So many people have asked if I was going to make a Thanksgiving FREE ATC Kit. So starting on Tuesday, Novemeber 24th, I will be giving away Thanksgiving ATC kits with all orders received through the rest of the month. On Tuesday, I will also be adding the Ancestry ATC Kit to the site. That way you can purchase this Ancestry kit, as well as see the other monthly kits that we have had available.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

From all of us at yourATCstore

September's Free Artist Trading Card Kit of the Month

I know, I know, I am so late at getting this on the blog, especially since this month is almost over. I wanted to show this kit anyway for those who might wish to order them from the website.

September's kit is called, "School Days". This kit is what you will receive FREE with every order that you place this month. This kit is also available if you wish to purchase them. Here's what you'll receive:

2 - of the 3" x 4" pieces of cardstock shown

* a part of a page from a vintage children's reading book

* a piece of yellow School Days ribbon or a piece of the black ABC 123 ribbon shown

2 - primary colored mini brads (either red, yellow, blue, green or orange)

2 - vintage school images from the yourATCstore "School Days" collage sheet

* a vocabulary flash card, (word and definition), from a vintage "1000 English Flash Card Set"

1 - blank white 2 1/2 in. x 3 1/2 in. ATC

and lastly, an ATC card sleeve for your finished masterpiece.

You can also use some of your own supplies like I did when I created mine.

School Days Artist Trading Card

Here is an ATC I created from the products in the kit. I also made the "Grade 1" label with a Dymo Ultimate Label Maker. The ATC is made with a yourATCstore Acrylic Clear Artist Trading Card which will be available for sale soon! I used Alcohol Inks to dye the Acrylic ATC. I then riped the ruler cardstock and the children's reading book scrap diagonally, and glued it onto the acrylic back so the paper could be seen through the ATC. I then added the other things to the front of the ATC to finish it off.



Hopefully, I will post the free October kit so you can take a peek at it. In the meantime, Happy ATC Making!!

August Free Artist Trading Card Kit of the Month

Below is the Free August ATC Kit of the Month that you will receive with every order that you place this month. You will also receive a free charm with your order that I choose especially for you.

You will receive 2 of these sequins. These are so cute that I had to show you a close up of them!

This month's kit is called, "By the Sea". You will receive only 2 of the 3" x 4" pieces of cardstock shown, one piece of blue polka dot ribbon or a piece of the blue flowered rick rack shown, an orange piece of trim, 2 of the 4 sequins shown, one of 3 small flower brads (either silver, gold, or antique copper), one seaside image cut from the yourATCstore "Bathing Beauties" collage sheet, a By the Sea word phrase (See ATCs for example), a blank ATC, and lastly, an ATC card sleeve for your finished masterpiece. You can also use some of your own papers and/or embellishments to accent what you receive in this kit like I did in my examples below.



Here is one ATC that I created from the August kit. I also used a small piece of water cardstock that I cut with zigzag scissors.

Here is another ATC from the kit. You can see that I also used an orange raffle ticket that I had, and a silver shell charm from my personal stock that I attached with the flower brad.

Here I used everything from the kit, but accented the ATC with 2 Prima Mulberry Paper Flowers in coordinating colors.


I now have some of these kits available for purchase. Here is the link to the kit on the website:

April's FREE Artist Trading Card Kit of the month

Here is this month's kit which is free with every order that you place this month. This month's theme is Easter, so everything in the kit relates to the pastel colors of Easter.

You will also receive an ATC card base, 3 choices of cardstock pieces and a brad to attach your flower sequines. The vintage Easter image will also be different for each packet, but you should have enough things to make one Easter Artist Trading Card with even a card sleeve for it when it is complete. So Enjoy!

Oh, I'm still wwoooing over Johnny Depp, and still can't believe I totally froze up when I met him!

Yes, this is Johnny Depp!!!!!

While on Puerto Rico we were visiting Old San Juan. It just so happens that a store owner asked me if I liked Johnny Depp. Dumb question?! He told us he will filming down the street right around the corner at the Old San Juan Hotel. He was filming his new movie, "The Rum Diary". After his filming for the day, he actually came out and greeting all of his fans. This is a photo of him shaking my hand!!! I was so frozen that I didn't say a word to him!!! Of course this was the highlight of my trip! I have more photos of him, but I don't want to bore you with those, LOL!
