Christmas Tree Festivals

We are planning to join in 2 Christmas Tree festivals again this year and would like to use ATC's for decorating them. The trees will be in the Churches of Chatteris and March. If you would like to join in then perhaps we could each do 2 or 3 cards and then when the trees are dismantled you get the same number back but not your own, this has proved popular in previous years. Please email Heather if you want to join in, for those who don't know about ATC's I have included the following from Wikipedia:

Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern baseball cards,[1] or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches (63 mm X 89 mm),[2] small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.[3] The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland.[4] Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or cloth. The cards are usually traded or exchanged rather than sold.
