A New Creative Challenge for Myself

I love cards and paper, always have before the whole scrapbooking craze came around. I have scrapbooks and that I made when I was a little girl. Around the holidays, my mom called me the Christmas mouse, I would wrap all the presents and make Christmas decorations for the tree. I loved being creative from an early age, just got away from it after I joined the corporate world after college. Artist Trading Cards are new to me, I wanted to try one. I bought some old cards from ebay a while back when I was thinking of names for my gift/card store. The name of the company that made the cards is 'Sugar n Spice'. This was a name that I had thought of in the beginning for my future store. I have years of ideas on what I wanted to do with my business. I crumbled up this box of cards about a year ago when I was getting rid of a lot of clutter, then decided to keep it, although the box is wrecked. I recreated one of the cards that was ripped for my first ATC. The rain drops are hand painted on very very old clear paper. I think of total sweetness when I look at this card, an innocent day reaching for the raindrops, trying to shield the rain my ducking under flowers.
