ACEO Magazine has Featured Create. Collect. Trade.!


ACEO Magazine has featured Create. Collect. Trade. in their new edition of Cardaddix, a monthly newsletter that features interviews with worldwide artists, techniques, articles, and more!

I have been talking to the Editor, Kelly, who will also be featuring the book on the site for ACEO Magazine in the near future. This is very exciting because the magazine has a large following and is sent worldwide to ACEO artists. 

To visit their newly revised website or to get your own copy of the newsletter, please visit their website at:

Take a Sneak Peek...





Here are some sneak peak pages in the book thus far. Keep in mind that the format could change. Every page looks a little different based on the number of images sent, quality and size of images, the amount of text, and specific requests by the artists that I did my best to meet. 
The book as a whole is looking great and everyone is doing a fabulous job with their selections and text!

Donate to Purchasing Copies of Create. Collect. Trade. for Student Artists


Since starting this project, several have asked me about donating money or a whole book for student artists to receive a free copy. Thanks to the creative minds of Juniper44 and several others working on this project, this option is now avaliable for those interested.

In the right column, there are two PayPal buttons. 

One is to donate $5.00 towards purchasing copies of Create. Collect. Trade. for student artists.

The other is to donate $23.00, which will provide 1 student a free copy of Create. Collect. Trade.
-If you chose this option, I will be making donor labels for the inside cover of the books. This label will have your name, location, and/or a brief statement, quote, comment to artists (whatever you feel comfortable with). 

This is optional, but if you choose to do this, write what you would like it to say in the "message" area of the PayPal checkout.

I would love your feedback about these options.  

Please feel free to comment back to this post or contact me at art2theextreme@yahoo.com.
