Bride Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 There is a word that I love - it is fun to say as it sort of rolls off the tongue and tickles the ear. I never really heard it until there was a movie with that title - "Serendipity", a sweet romantic comedy that this romantic artist really enjoyed. The word - ser·en·dip·i·ty noun: serendipity; plural noun: serendipities the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way."a fortunate stroke of serendipity (happy) chance, (happy) accident, fluke; good luck, good fortune, synonyms: fortuity, providence; happy coincidence For your September ATC, I want you to put your thinking caps aside, pull open your photo editing program with your 2.5 x 3.5 base and just start playing with a color, a collection, a piece of word art or alpha ... and build on it - see where it takes you. See what quote may come to mind as a result - or no quote, letting your art work stand alone - its your choice - it is your "happy chance" to see where you end up. Let your inner artist break free and serendipitously create a treasure to share! You may create as many cards as you would like, just please remember to sign and date each card. Upload them to the Artist Trading Cards - Digital & Hybrid Gallery and email the full resolution copy (750 x 1050 pixels at 300 ppi) to me at: scrapgirl.bride@gmail.com for the swap. The cards will be due to me by Wednesday, September 30th. I'll try to get the collection emailed back to you shortly after that.

MariJ Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 VERY cool topic, Lei and very creative. I like the idea of seeing where it takes you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Oh cool! I like that - so thought out. I did a scrapbook layout - in the paper world of scrapbooking, and we had to cut random papers that were leftovers to create embellishments for our page. We just pasted all the papers randomly and then took a paper punch and punched circles and squares randomly. Quite an interesting and nice outcome. I wish I had that album with me so I could let you all see. It's in Storage..... in St George... so this will be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 OK I started things off with THIS layout. I chose the quote because I did prepare the template, so I knew what I wanted it to look like, and then I randomly chose the papers and Embs, and it worked!

Florida granny Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Here's my second ATC for the month. It was truly a work of serendipity, since it started out looking quite different from how it ended. I decided to try a colorful paper to clip to the flowers, but before I clipped it, it went to the base of the card. Hmmm... I really liked the colorful background, so there it stayed. Thanks for the challenge to try something new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Just wanted to say I REALLY love this topic - it's very cool and with so many possibilities! And, I really wanted to make an ATC, but have been caught up in the monthly game so never got a chance. But, the theme is brilliant and so creative!
