Easter ATC's featuring Sweet Sentiments by Graphic 45!

Happy Friday my friends! ♥

Thank goodness it's Friday. It's been one of those weeks where I've been counting the minutes and seconds until the weekend. Finally, the weekend is here! Yippee!! ♥

I have a few ATC's to share with you today. When I first started crafting more avidly, I joined several ATC swaps. These little guys are so much fun to make! What is an ATC you say? An Artist Trading Card is defined by Wikipedia as follows:

Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards,[1] or 2 1⁄2 by 3 1⁄2 inches (64 mm × 89 mm),[2] small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.

Here are some photos of the 2 Easter ATC's I created featuring Graphic 45's Sweet Sentiments paper collection:

Here is a quick video sharing these little ATC's up close!

Thank you so much for joining me today! ♥
