Just to clarify you do not have to make an ATC with the women I named, they were just examples! I just want to keep classic women, not current stars today.

Have fun & enjoy!

Pinklady, thank you so much for giving me a heart on the ATC's I sent you for this swap. It means a lot to me that you recognized all the work that went into making them. Now here's the story. I was at the Academy in Beverly Hills with my neighbor when I saw this playbill with Barbara Stanwyck. I remember seeing reruns of her at the Feisty Matriarch on the show the Big Valley. The playbill was, well playbill size. I took pics of the playbill cropping out everything but the lovely Ms.Stanwyck. Then I set out to find my next piece for the project. When I think of Judy Garland I think of "My Funny Valentine" She makes my heart cry to hear her sing it. So I set out to find just the perfect Judy Garland picture. I found one at a high end thrift shop. It was a large 18 X 22 picture framed. I had to work to get that shot as the framed picture was sitting near a large window and the outside atmosphere reflected off of it, meaning people, cars etc., were whizzing by as I tried to capture the perfect shot:)without getting distractions. Armed with my two subjects I hit my local CVS and spent hours, no kidding cropping more, adding borders, text and getting them down to ATC size. I finished the backing at home and sent them on their way to you and the other swappers on my list, very early:) I thank you again for seeing the effort I put into making these ATC's. It was fun to create them.
