Description:

I love Ephemera! Make 1 ATC for 1 partner using ephemera. Collage, paint, stamp, sew, draw - whatever it takes but re-use your ephemera and make your ATC fantastic.

No newbies, sorry.

ATC 2.5 x 3.5 inches on sturdy cardstock or chip board. I would like us to not have to gear our art toward our partner except to avoid things they dislike. Otherwise, let's all assume we appreciate art and will enjoy getting the artistic creation from our partners.

Quick turn around for this.

Here's a list of ephemera examples (not exhaustive) ... a spring board for your ideas.

  • tags
  • tickets
  • ticket stubs
  • used subway passes
  • playing cards
  • tarot cards
  • coin and paper money

Ha ha! I had "dogs" as an example of ephemera. That's not right. Dogs are not disposable. I removed that and added the Ephemera Society of America link. Happy swapping all!
