The ARTchix Studio Yahoo group hosts 'themed' Lotto contests where everyone is invited to create a small piece of art using ARTchix products. For each contest, one winner is picked via a lottery to win all of the wonderful artwork produced for the theme. Here are some of my entries:

Michelle Dressler's Gratitude ATC Swap
Run through the ARTchix Studio Yahoo Group, and due to Michelle in Hawaii by November 1st, these ATCs were done on a theme of 'gratitude'. They had to include at least one ARTchix Studio image - a collage sheet, transparency, fabric, or rubber stamp image, or faux postage. We were asked to create 5 or 6 Artist Trading Cards (2½” X 3½”) - 6 if you'd like one to go to Helga - for 4 ATCs in return. Original Art Only. Here's mine + some extras I made:

ARTchix Altered Note Cards SWAP!
This cool swap was hosted by Lyn Avedikian, and due May 10th, 2006. Click on the photos for full-size images! First you'll see the original cards, and then my altering done with ARTchix Studio Rubber Stamps!
My husband Steven did the original cards, shown here. He used a mixture of gel
medium and paint, then spread this onto a blank card via a form. I altered them
by stamping with ARTchix Studio Stamps and permanent ink. Thanks, Lyn for the
fun swap!

Lyn Avedikian's ARTchix Deco ~ Cover by Lyn!
Click on photos for full-size images!
March 16, 2006: I'm participating in an ARTchix Deco, what fun! A deco is a booklet that's sent from one participant to another until it returns home to it's owner, all festooned and DECO-rated! Here, I have worked in Lyn Avedikian's ARTchix deco with a "Fly with me" theme. This isn't a Round Robin where all participants send their own deco out for all the artists in the group to work in; this is called a Serial Robin: one artist sends just one book out to the other artists for their contribution. I've finished my pages and sent Lyn's deco to ARTchix Studio Yahoo Group Moderator: Cindy McMath : ). To view a different deco exchange I'm involved in: look here. It's a Round Robin exchange where everyone sends a deco. Both ways are fun to do! The Serial Robin is much less of a commitment as you only work in one book - 1 time! The photos here are: Lyn's Cover above, and two pages inside by Lyn below, as well as two pages I did inside her deco below that. Enjoy!
These are beautiful pages that Lyn prepared for her deco! Thanks for asking me to work in this, Lyn. ~ lenna 3/16/06
