By now most of you have heard of ATC's (Artist Trading Cards (http://www.cedarseed.com/air/atc.html)). They are the cute little 2.5" x 3.5" mini-masterpieces. Well, this week, we are going to be creating our own. However, the 'A' in our ATC's is going to stand for Ancestor! The end goal would be to have a whole deck of your ancestors that you could whip out at all family gatherings. How cool would you be?!

I want you to keep these cards simple. They shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes or so. All you need on the front is the picture and maybe the person's name. And on the back, put their vital information like name, birth, death, relationship to you and any notes you want to include.

After you get your first one done, you can use the same backs on them all and they come really, really quickly!

Here's my sample: Alice (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=51442)

Please post to the Heritage Challenge gallery and give us a link here so we can admire your ancestors!!

Here is one for me. It has square, not rounded, corners and I wonder how one gets these printed out with matching front and back?
I added a number to the back which is the ahnentafel number for my ancestor (for more on ahnentafel numbers, the wikipedia link is
