Trash (from MI) to Treasure Challenge. Private swap USA only

This is another of my challenges limited to 10 players, as I have only 9 envelopes.

If you decide to take the challenge, you do agree to the following

*You make an atc card for me, and reimburse me for my initial mailing costs 85 cents, postage preferred, no coins. The envelopes weigh more than one ounce and are non machinable.

*You will make 2 cards each for 2 partners. Plus one for me. Five cards total.

*You agree to post in the comments below when my initial envelope to you arrives.

*You allow me to post an image of your card sent to me, on my Flickr.com account and album dedicated to this swap.

If you think you are up to the challenge, Join this swap by Monday, as I will close on or before Monday. I will mail the 9 envelopes Tuesday, taking them to the PO to be hand canceled.

You will get an envelope with Trash from my mom's house in Michigan. In general all 9 players will have the same contents in the envelops. You may use the envelope, the canceled postage stamp and the stickers on the envelope. You do need to use 2 things on each card.

Some of the items might seem odd, but I have determined that they take Paint, or ink or color. I hope you will experiment with the odd items.

You may need to add many things of your own, images, ribbons, lace, paint, ink, embellishments, brads, eyelets, staples, flowers, etc.

You will be given my mailing address on an address label, to make my return easier. IT is my AZ address. The envelope will have my mother's Mailing label, ignore that.

You have lots of time for this envelope to arrive to you and for you to work on your 5 card. Please dont procrastinate. Mail on time.

Theme is open to senders discretion, with a few exceptions. Please avoid Holiday themes, political and religious themes UNLESS your partners like those themes. You will want to read your two partners and my profile before you begin creating.

My 2 partners will have a 2 more card inside the initial mailing. I do not have the protective sleeves for all my cards. If you have them please use them or something else for your cards when you send.

ABOUT MY CARDS. I used a local newspaper, and images from various saved items. I painted them and cut words from various sources. I hope you like them. Envelopes are numbered and when you sign up you can pick a envelope number. I will post my flickr.com link below. Take time to look at the photos.

Photos will not be posted of my cards made for my partners, as they will be a surprise.

TO participate you must, pick a card from my flickr.com account,

@poohtat I got your Courwood castle creation and loved that you used the fabric. I posted a photo of your card to the flickr.com album for this swap.

@BetsyG56 I loved how you used the envelope to make me a card. A photo of it is in the gallery. I loved the vintage Norman Rockwell postage stamps you sent for the reimbursement postage.

@KarenLaneWV Thanks for your card, plus I loved that you sent me some sleeves, and the die cuts.

Your card will remind me of this trip to Michigan.
