"ATC stands for Artist Trading Card. ATCs are small pieces of original artwork. The only limitation on ATCs is the size: 2.5x3.5 inches or 64x89mm and generally a flat surface (although you can add beads, fold out panels, or pop up elements for 3D effects.)"There are two themes to choose from:
"Group One: Holiday GlitterFor more information, including how to sign-up, visit the MLPTP thread. Sign-ups close December 10, 2010.
The ponies grew up in the '80s, and their sense of decorating for the winter holidays leans towards to fantastic and glittery. (Some ponies probably eat tinsel with confetti for breakfast, lunch, and dinner ) For this swap, show off the ponies having fun decorating. Extra cookie points if you use real glitter.
(Holidays encompassed for this swap include Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year's Eve/Day, Valentine's Day, and Mardi Gras -- told you it was the all-encompassing winter holiday swap! Pick and choose whatever you'd like to celebrate.)
Group Two: Snow Day!
The ponies always have an excuse to go play in the snow. It's perfect for sledding, or snowball fights, or building giant snowponies, or just taking a stroll through the woods to enjoy the fresh snow. The more responsible ones might shovel the sidewalks (yuck). Of course, maybe some of them would prefer to stay inside with the hot cocoa. Let's see how you imagine the ponies spending their snow day!""

3. You must be willing to send at least 5 cards."
"Beginning in 2011, the Company will eliminate all wire ties from its packaging. In addition, for 2011 the Company has set a goal that at least 75 percent of its paper packaging will be derived from recycled material or sources that practice sustainable forest management.
By 2015, Hasbro has set a goal of 90 percent usage of these materials and sources for all of its paperboard packaging and in-box game content. Hasbro is also working with its core toy and game licensees to help them put similar standards in place."
"I sent an email yesterday to Hasbro through their online form and they replied so quickly!This is the first confirmation of a European release of the G4 pony toys.
The woman told me G4 should be out in Januray in France and I guess it will be a european release!"

"Now that episode 3 of the new My Little Pony series I've been working on has aired, I think it's okay to share some characters I designed for it. Here are some funky birds and a family of racoons. I don't think they used the 'coons."
"It’s for young girls and it’s all about the kitsch. This brand just keeps getting better with every logo iteration without losing any of its visual cues — hearts! Pink! Y-in-shape-of-a-mane! — and now has even brought it up a notch by including a… rainbow! I take a light-hearted tone with this (because I have to in order to keep said sanity) but in all seriousness this is a very well calibrated logo that fits its audience perfectly."
"I asked Lauren Faust about it, and she said that Luna's name was Selena for a while, but there was some kind of legal issue, so they changed it.
When I first got the storybook, I checked Wikipedia, and Selene was the goddess of the moon in Greek Mythology, but the Romans called her Luna, so it all fits."
