I was reading about Artist Trading Cards online and Riley thought they sounded cool and wanted to do some. So, I got to thinking it might be something fun for the kids on this site to do-- being as they are all into art and have a grow up to help them out. (= Plus, we could put them all on the site to see.

Basically Artist Trading Cards are any handmade art on card stock weight material. The only rules are they must be 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" ( the same size as sports trading cards) and they must be signed/dated by the artist on the back of the card. Artists then trade their cards for ones from other artists, just like kids trade sports cards, pokemon cards, etc.

If anyone is interested in doing this with their kids you could just reply to this post. Then we could e-mail our addresses offline so they wouldn't be out there for all in internet-land to see. (=
