JULY 2008-A Year of ATCs SWAP- ~~SWAPPED OUT!~~~

So fun to give, so fun to receive little works of art on a small 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 size cards... (thus, the name "Artist Trading Cards")

JULY 2008-A Year of ATCs SWAP- ~~SWAPPED OUT!~~~

Postby Parkerquilter » Sat Jun 28, 2008 7:12 pm

Every month pick a new theme and have as many ATCs sent as people in your group (you WILL get one of your own back.) I am the coordinator for groups 1-3, Sarah Hemphill is the coordinator for Group 4.....I'd have you send them to us by, say the (29th for July) and I'll have them out within 3-4 days. NVR on everything...just shabby, collage',vintage, altered, unique! Here's some suggestions for themes:

All year long themes: Love, Fairies/Mermaids, Flowers, Travel, Children's Book Illustrations/Themes, Lovely Ladies, Altered People, Circus, Victorian Charm, Art Nouveau/Deco, etc...

Feb. - St. Patty's or Easter/Love/Celestial/Coffee
Mar. - Spring /Showers/Friends/Birds/Vintage Cars
April - Mothers/Travel/Children-Toys/Garden
May - Fathers/Sports/Music/Fruit/Gypsies
June - 4th of July/Insects/Vacations/Dogs/Parades/Wedding
July - Beach/Picnic/Summer Fun/Carnival/Coney Island
Aug. - Fall/back to school/Trees-Leaves/Western
Sept. - Halloween/Fall/Outdoors/Owls
Oct. - Thanksgiving/Fall/Pumpkins/ Cats
Nov. - Christmas/Winter/Family/Snow/Theatre
Dec. - Winter/Snowmen/New Year's Day, Asian
Jan. - Valentine's Day/Winter/Snowflakes/Snow, Mardi Gras

***or...if you have an inspiration, go ahead and do that!
...anything really! Just a once a month commitment.

Let me know if you're interested! - Kris

NOTE: Just a couple of things:

1. :!: Please no metered strips. They are only good for the day they are issued. 4 stamps usually covers the cost to mail. If you're in two groups, add one more stamp or just send cash and I'll purchase for you. If you need me to supply the bubble envelope I can do that as well...I can get them for about $.50 each so not a big cost. Just send two address labels and I'll pop them on the envelopes.

2. This month you will have until the 29th to get the ATCs in. I'll be in Alaska from the 19th until then. I will have no computer access so I'm counting on you to keep a timely eye on things for me. :wink: Thanks!

3. I LOVE the little goodies and ATCs you've been sending to me for hosting but since I'm always the host please do not feel like you need to do this. I'm very happy to organize this wonderful swap.

4. Everyone is signed in for the same swaps as last month. If you need to opt out a month, please just let me know in time to find a swap angel. This month especially as I will be unavailable after the 19th.

Thanks so much!

Cindy Dorr from Canada would like to join our swap in August, YEAH!

Cindy, we're tickled to have you and welcome you to our monthly group. :D

:!: :arrow: Since I will be gone for my early birds this month I'm going to put everyone's name in the hat and will give a fun but different type of RAK for July to one lucky person!

I appreciate everyone's participation and think that the ATCs we receive from this swap are THE BEST!

Everyone is so talented! We've got an amazing swap group and it's a real pleasure being your hostess every month.

We now have 3 people in Group 3 :D . I need 6 more names to fill this group. Anyone want to do an extra swap/month? Also, if you have cyber friends that you think would be an asset to the group, please link this thread and forward. I appreciate your help.

~~~if I can't fill the 3rd group we may need to go as one continuous group instead of setting up groups of 9. That might be better anyway as different people will be able to swap with ladies in the other groups.

Let me know what you think? This way we could easily add more people and not worry about filling 9 person groups.

Thanks!

I don't mind switching it up a bit. I can't really take on another group though, sorry.

One group is fine with me. That way you won't know which 9 you are getting. Would add to the fun!

I'm beginning to think that may be the way to go. I'll wait to hear a few more thoughts before changing, though.

Just checking in today - if you're voting sort of, I like the groups of nine.
I like knowing who I'm receiving from....
