451 Press would like to spotlight some of the notable articles and entries around the network recently.

All Paper Arts did a great piece about the growing popularity of ATCs - Artist Trading Cards:

Another, great thing I love about ATC’s is you can make a small and quick sample of your work. These are great for using not only for the purpose of trading but also for slipping a little something to a friend or anyone that you run into who you think might enjoy them.

Toybender wrote a piece about aquiring one of the toys from his childhood:

This guy seems to be pretty hard to find, which makes sense considering he’s one of the most popular G1 Transformers and awesome to the max. The packaging here is simply fantastic. While the new found joy of opening toys wants me to bust Soundwave loose, I may just leave him in the box for awhile before making such a rash decision.

Wedding Tactics discusses the latest trends in games for bridal showers:

Toilet paper wedding dress. The crowd is broken into teams and they choose one lady who models a wedding dress made out of toilet paper that her teammates create. A winner is choosen and little token gifts are given out.

Shoeboxers gives us a rundown of the latest trends for footwear this spring:

So who has time to be concerned about spring shoes when it’s time for non-skid weather friendly boots? I do! Every self absorbed shoe loving girl has to be on top of her fashion game, and getting prepared for the next season is just one step in process.

Finally, Get Incensed wrote a thought provoking article about censorship and blogging in Egypt:

Abdel Kareem Suleiman, a blogger from Egypt, was given hard jail time (4 years worth) for his blogging habits. No, he didn’t declare himself to be some international safety threat. All he did was bad-mouth Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and verbally slam Islam. Yep! That’s it!

There are plenty of other articles worth reading around the network - these are just the notable pieces we wanted to spotlight this week. Enjoy!
