Totally Tags n' ATC's-Buttons-FREE Graphic

Good morning crafty friends, Suzanne of Cricut Crafting Grammy. We are back on  Thursdays  to explore different themes, elements, techniques or embellishments.   This week we are using  buttons  on our tags and ATC's.  There is no restriction on what tools  are used to create these tags or ATC's.    It could be a die cut machine, punches, stamps, etc.  The sky is the limit.  However if the Design Team uses Digis or SVG's they will be from Paper Crafting World.  

As a side note, if you don't know what an ATC card is, 

here is an interesting definition from Wikipedia.

Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards, or 2¹⁄₂ by 3¹⁄₂ inches (63 mm × 89 mm),^[small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.^[The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or cloth. The cards are usually traded or exchanged. 

 I hope you will join us each Thursday here at My Paper Crafting for 

Totally Tags n' ATC's.

CWC #123: Things With Wings

Happy Wednesday and welcome to our salute to "things with wings." Tomorrow is National Tooth Fairy Day -- for hundreds of years people have shared mystical legends, stories, and traditions about the loss of baby teeth. The early Europeans buried children’s teeth so witches and evil spirits couldn't use them for voodoo. The Vikings believed that children's teeth had magical powers that could help them fight in battle. They would pay their children for their lost baby teeth and string them onto necklaces and other jewelry.

Over time, people began to share stories about a Tooth Mouse who scampers around town and steals children's lost teeth in the middle of the night. The story of the mouse evolved into the story of the Tooth Fairy who leaves treasures under children's pillows in exchange for their lost teeth.

Tooth Fairy traditions are still popular today. Kids all over the world place their lost baby teeth under their pillows at night and look forward to a wonderful surprise in the morning. (Information courtesy of www.punchbowl.com.) So in honor of the wonderful little Tooth Fairy, the Design Team ladies have created projects with wings.
