now hang on a minute these are international words and have been around for years and years .
So I can safely take it that you have not done these before Sara and Chris.:wave:
ATC = artist trading card size = 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches you make your art on this and it used to be exchanged with other people. Say in groups of 4 or so.
inchie= exactly what it says art on 1 inch square
twinchie = art on a 2 inch piece
Moo= art on a 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch piece of paper
Arch= any shape of arch to make your creation on.
these were all made and exchanged in the paper world . There were several blogs around for the various sizes, later on more people started to make them digital.
that's what I was thinking Audrey - if there are enough takers we could set up a group here or even just a gallery .I used to do them hybrid as well.

I've participated in digital ATC exchanges, but it's been a long time. You can see the last two I did on my blog here: http://scrap-genie.blogspot.com/search/label/ATC
I didn't know about the other sizes though.

Take aim......FIRE!!!! :brick:
Hehehehe, Sara, although it should be noted that the two people in the conversation above you are both living in Britain and are presumably "afflicted" with British English too!
:focus: Here's a question for you, Ellen and/or Audrey......unless one is actually printing them out, surely there's no difference between an inchie, a twinchie and a 12x12 LO - they are all square and on a screen so does it matter what size they actually are? Or am I missing something? And even if you made something 12x12, can you just scale it down and print at 2x2?
I've never paper scrapped any of these, but I reckon it would have to be easier to manipulate digi elements than paper ones!
Ellen - were you in any ATC circles on UKS?

Hi here,
That a long time i haven't been around, BUT I was here to change my AVI and get off the birthday batch one ( I know it is about time LOL *drolling eyes*)
When I went in my user profil I saw I still had my very first digiATC
I can show IF you promise that you won't laught, ok?
I mean it is 6 years ago (and 2 child less ;-/ ) ... ( I look SO young there --- well compare to now LOL)
off to check out if I find the another one, I know it does exist .. somewhere)

may be that's why..I started as a paper scrapper and turned digital ( mostly)
there were weekly themes for the inchie-twinchie etc blogs.
It's when people started making them in digi form that it became less of a challenge since you could simply scale things down. And some people shouted foul!!
So the answer to your question Selena is.. yes you could make it in a larger form and then just scale it down.
When making them digi I always started out with the proper size and only scaled down the elements.
I still have a lot of rubber stamps made specially for inchie creations.
No Selena, I never took part in the UKS exchanges,it was on smaller scrapforums both in the U.K. and in Holland. And on blogs that were dedicated to just inchie/twinchies or ATC's
The Arch one has stopped for the moment but will start in November again There's loads in the Flickr album
thanks Audrey for putting images in , that will make more sense .
