PLEASE NOTE- I HAVE EXTENDED THE SEND BY DATE BY ONE WEEK TO ALLOW FURTHER TIME FOR GORGEOUS WORKS OF ART! PLEASE SEND BY THE 12TH OCTOBER!!!!!!

September is International ATC Month

So, to celebrate this I want to do an ATC swap with a difference (slightly!)

There are four weeks in September and I would like you to make TWO cards for each week (8 cards total) to send to ONE partner.

But...

One MUST be hand- drawn (pen or pencil)
One MUST be a photograph (digitally altered or plain printed out and stuck down!)
One MUST be in a NEW MEDIA TO YOU! If you normally work in collage, do a DIFFERENT hand-drawn one or a watercolour painted one. If you work in hand-drawn designs do a collaged one or a digital one.
One MUST have a hole in it somewhere as part of the design... where and how etc is totally up to you!

And the other FOUR are totally up to you- tailor them to your partners profile or do what you are best at!

The Rules

Eight cards to one person- follow the rules above and get a 5 rating!

International! Definately :) I know it may cost a little more to post but just think of all the cards you will be receiving too!

No recent no-sends and a decent swap rating. Newbies welcome with a filled-out profile (to make it easier for your partner!) and a PM to me please :) I don't bite! If you want to ask any questions please do so!

Please fill out the backs of your cards with your username and real name and the title of your cards (if they have one).

Please include a little note telling your partner which is the new media to you one- it doesn't have to be long-winded!

I would like them to be in the post no later than the 5th October- and the sign-up date is the 7th September so that you don't have to rush to catch up. Spacing them to make two a week allows plenty of time for other swaps!

Have fun and happy swapping!!

Oh dear :( never mind if no-one signs up for it I will re-do the same kind of thing later in the year!

Not only does this ATC's sound intriguing but I think the hostess is cool, so there! Sharpening my pencils and getting out my can of shaving cream for some ATC fun.

I'm in also....I've been crafting all weekend so I'm feeling inspired. Sounds like it will be lots of fun and challenging too.

Mine are done! Yippeeee.. I finished them today.
K.... I'm ready.

can they be sent a whole bunch together, or they must be sent 2 a week?

boatbird 09/ 6/2007 #

You can send the whole bunch together to save postage :)

Question: On the pen/pencil drawn ATC, is embellishing ok? Thanks

I can't wait to receive my new ATCs! I work at a public library and am planning to do an exhibit of ATCs in a glass display case within the next few months . . . and with this trade, I'll be getting EIGHT new ones for my display.
