The Flametamer wants to be your friend

I had this idea for an ATC background for awhile now. And then I got thinking about a friend for Waterboy… and this is who came of it. :)

There are two available if someone wants a trade.

Natalie - This is an ATC, an Artist Trading Card. I make them and trade them for other ATCs by other artists. ATCs must measure 64 by 89 millimetres, (2 1/2 x 3 1/2″) the same size as hockey cards. Any design technique is permissible, as long as the result is original.

There’s some helpful information about them on this site if you’d like to read up: http://www.cedarseed.com/air/atc.html

The Obligatory Blurb

Thank you for visiting! My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (14) and Sarah (12). I've been blogging since 1999, which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran of the Canadian blog scene, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I am the Managing Editor of Capital Parent Newspaper but also make my living doing a bunch of other fun things. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
