Essentially, ATC's and AECo's are mini works of art that can be easily made using scrapbook supplies and techniques, art supplies or digital images. In this class, you'll learn about the basics of creating scrapbook pages, as well as the theory of the cards themselves. You'll have a chance to create a card using step by step instructions.  We'll also cover copyright law briefly as it applies to our cards.

Here's what I hope that you'll learn in this course:

1. The theory and rules of ATC's and AECO's.
2. Photo Editing Basics (Using Photo Filter, a free editing program.)
3. Define key scrapbook terms.
4. Source out supplies online.
5. Copyright law as it pertains to images and photographs.
6. Create a balanced interesting card.
