Did you know that the word Diva was originally used to describe a woman of rare and outstanding talent? Well, that's what this group is all about.

We are artistic divas dedicated to the creation and sharing of art in many forms. We'll be conducting swaps to trade ATCs (artist trading cards), altered books, deco books, glue books and many other types of paper arts. We'll also be sharing information regarding techniques and ideas.

We ask that members respect other members and treat one another with kindness and understanding. There are no exceptions to this rule. Treat others as you'd wish to be treated. NO religious or political discussion, please. There are plenty of groups for that. Flaming and drama within the group is a no-no. We're here to create art, not work out personal issues.

We encourage members to participate in discussion and swaps. Otherwise, why join a group, right? Members who "flake" or are consistently late on swaps will be subject to action by the group owners.

Enough with the rules - join our group and let your artistic diva run wild!!!
