Art Journal Pockets  are created by using nine 2.5x3.5" cards (placed in a trading card sheet protector) to compose one larger art journal page. It's a fabulous, mixed-media mash up of art journaling, pocket letters & artist trading cards. You can create  Art Journal Pockets  for yourself or to trade with friends! If you would like more information and FREE intro course from TANGIE BAXTER (!) head on over to her website at  http://shoptangiebaxter.com/pages/art-journal-pockets Here is my first attempt.  Took no time at all and this will be my cover for my binder. The second page I wanted to celebrate autumn and chose several quotes to lay over the journaling page. These were both done digitally, however, I do plan on doing hybrid versions of cards soon! Here is a set in which I inserted my family pictures and text onto the AJPs. Here is another that I just finished .... I printed it in Black and White and used watercolors, paint ...

Here are my cards from the 22nd week in which we did Artist Trading Cards with the theme of "Star Dust". I thought they turned out cute.  I really like the angel one :-)  Anyway, I go the images from a free vintage online clipart website www.thegraphicsfairy.com

Here is a picture of the ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) I've been working on for the Willowing June Swap.  The theme was travel/ summer/ maps, etc.
