Shaped cards also interest me, thanks for the suggestion.
I wonder if may regional foods and drinks might interest anyone.

Thanks for the invite! I don't think I will be able to play, though, our relatives are visiting from the UK!

I thought of another theme - quotes by Shakespeare. What made me think of that was that I was looking at a set of magnetic quotes that I picked up when I was in Stratford. One was "Thou Smell of Mountain Goat" (Henry V), and I thought that might make a fun card.

Love your suggestion to use Shakespeare quotes - could be a lot of fun!

I updated the list of optional challenges. I think we have enough them now.

I love the challenges (might have to borrow my daughter's book of quotes to make sure I am remembering Shakespeare).
A few years ago Australia Post released stamps that smelled of our eucalyptus - I think I still have some. Oh, no!! They are packed in all our Melbourne stuff still to come up here 
Marked on my calendar and raring to go!

I never saw this, is it an oval to get the atc dimensions? Tell us more please?

I may not be able to give it my all, but I'm looking forward to art and friends in another of Sniisk's wonderful a-thons.

Linda, the swap I mentioned was actually called Circles, not Coins, but both names are used for the circle shaped ATCs. To fit in the standart plastic pockets they need to have a diameter of 2,5 inches. I was too late to join the swap but got inspired by the idea and cut some backgrounds ready last weekend, when I was able to borrow the right size die cut. So I might make these, if I have time next weekend to join the Athon.

My husbands birthday is on the first, so I can't completely ignore him, and we are planning an outing for Friday. But the sweetie he is, he said I could postpone it to next week if I'm really into my art that day. LOL
