Description:

This is a 3 for 3 swap. That means you will make 3 artist trading cards and send them to your assigned partner, and someone will make 3 artist trading cards and send them to you. Simple, eh?

There's no theme for this swap, and no media restrictions. All original ATCs are welcome!

Artist trading cards are 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches, and should be flat enough to slide into a standard trading card sleeve. More information on ATCs can be found at LisaVollrath.com, here .

Please be sure you can meet the mailing deadline of September 30th before you sign up for this swap. You know how I get...

If you have failed to mail your items by the deadline in previous swaps I've organized, or have unhappy feedback from any previous swaps, please don't sign up for this one. I do read previous feedback before the sign-ups close, and weed people who haven't met their swap obligations.

Also, if you're new to Swap-bot, be sure to read the FAQ page so you'll know what happens when. I am no longer responding to questions about how to operate the Swap-bot web site, so please read the documentation the kind site owners have provided for you. If you have questions about how the site works, contact the site owners.

Hopefully my rating of 3 is high enough to be in this swap? I received two emails one saying I was banned bc of a low rating -- which was upgraded and one email that said I was in the swap....

lisavollrath 08/28/2006 #

Sorry, but a feedback rating of 3 really isn't enough to participate.

cherriza 08/29/2006 #

I don't know what happened with my profile but I've never had that problem before. In fact I've been in 3 other swaps and never had that problem. It also states in the profile that if you don't choose a display name then your real name will show up so it is a bug with swap-bot. Since all of my other information was there except for my display name.

I don't understand why I was banned. I can understand you dropping me but banning me? That was a little uncalled for since I have a perfect 5 rating. Now I've never hosted a swap so if that was your only way of removing me from your swap then I understand. Next time a little notification before banning might be helpful. It kind of hurts ones feelings when one doesn't know that there is a problem.

I would like to be in your swap but if I'm still banned I guess I have to deal with it.

Swap-bot is obviously having a problem today because I tried emailing you and it was giving me an error.

lisavollrath 08/30/2006 #

Cherriza, as a host, it's my responsibility to ensure that the folks participating have sufficient feedback. Anyone who signs up without a 5 gets a closer inspection---some folks have been rated lower by previous partners unfairly, and some really have dropped the ball on their swaps. It's up to me to figure out what's up, and act accordingly.

Without a display name, I couldn't see your feedback, or email you. Unfortunately, banning you was the only option available. I hope you'll take a moment to put in a display name, and then check to be sure you show up listed properly when signing up for future swaps. If you're having difficulty with the Swap-bot system, it's up to you to get in touch with the site owners and work those problems out.

lisavollrath 08/30/2006 #

I should also probably add to anyone who doesn't make it into this swap: there are about a billion ATC swaps going on at Swap-bot, so if you don't get in on this one, there are still plenty of others to sign up for.

Better yet, start a swap of your own---we all need more swap opportunities!

ScrapUSA 08/30/2006 #

I am new to Swap-Bot so can I still participate in this swap?

user1867 08/30/2006 #

I was banned from the LV swap too, I never expected it since I had lots of 5's and only one 1 and one 3, Ive sent all my Items out, infact one was returned for better address, sometimes theres problems with the mail, I was told some of my international stuff takes 4 to 8 weeks to arrive, & I make it a point to email if Im going to be late. I feel that for people who realy dont try, getting lots of 1's and 3' that its fine, please ban them, Ive gotten more than my share of not being sent too. Ive been very disapointed in swap bot, the idea is a good one but I find people her are either theives or way to judgmental, alot of very mean people here. Im looking for more honest & decent avenues to have this type of fun because it realy hasnt been much fun lately.

lisavollrath 08/30/2006 #

A few things:

First, I actually read swap feedback, and for anything that doesn't receive a 5, I read the comments the recipient leaves, and then click back through to the swap to see what's been discussed on their comment board. I learn a lot that way.

Second, you have to actually sign up for a swap in order to be banned from it. You can't be banned from a swap you've never signed up for. Nuff said?

Third, I'll say it again more clearly this time: if you don't like the terms of any swap or have some sort of problem with a particular swap hostess, go sign up for some other swap---there are a billion of them listed here---or go create your own swap. Complaining here isn't going to get you any ATCs!

Now, let's get back to discussing ATCs, shall we?

Here is my two cents. I really appreciate a responsible hostess who cares enough to drop bad swappers from the swap. Thank you, Lisa, for taking good care of us!

user1015 09/ 2/2006 #

I too appreciate a responsible hostess...I have only done one swap from swap-bot so far, and it was Lisa's...I did send my ATC's and I did not receive a rating, I'm not sure why, I did contact the person I sent too and made sure she received it, and she said she she did get it but had been too busy to respond when she got it....anyway, I have joined several more swaps here and I hope to get some feedback..... Thanks Lisa

Just received from alteredtome, three very artistic atc's. Know what I am up against with all these great artists that I have received items from. Will keep trying gals, have patience. Thanks again Chris for your amazing atc's. I love them.

chaoticartworks 09/ 9/2006 #

LIVIA H. (liviahajovsky) - I received your cards today! Very nice! My favorite was the untitled card, the collage (one of my favorite artforms). Also, thanks for the nice note card and... the cool Judy Garland stamp on the envelope (I plan on using them in future ATC's).

grandmaroro 09/ 9/2006 #

Mickey B. I received your ATCs today. They are simply wonderful. I absolutely loved the "House of the Rising Sun". At first I didn't get it but then it HIT! I really appreciate all the effort and thought you put into these ATCs. I haven't received the ones from the "III Swap" so that was another "AHA" moment when it hit that yours were for the IV swap. I love all three cards, thank you so much.

user2420 09/ 9/2006 #

I received Kathy Coulter's ATCs, but couldn't find her email, so I'm leaving a message here. Kathy, your cards are dee-lightful! I love the woodcut style stamp on one- did you carve it yourself? So cool. And who could not love a classic pear? Really quite lovely too. And card three is oh-so-clever as well, with the great water colors and the random pieces sewn on the cards. I took pictures of all three to post, but I have to learn where to do this. Thanks so much for your great cards. Hope you read this! Regards, Maureen

user1015 09/10/2006 #

I received my ATC's from Arizonarose today and they are all great, she sent me 6....3 were of my 3 favorite TV shows and 3 are called amazing facts....I tried putting a picture in the gallery but it didn't upload....not sure if I did something wrong... Brenda....dragonlady

AngelFaeryKathleen 09/14/2006 #

Hi Aunt Nub, I reeived my great 3 ATC's from you 2 days ago. All great and different and I love them, thanks.

grandmaroro 09/16/2006 #

Meg ~ I forgot to post the day I mailed your cards. They went out perhaps three to four days ago. Hope they arrive soon. Best wishes, Joan

shelley 09/16/2006 #

littlejoys 09/19/2006 #

AlteredAddict 09/23/2006 #

Hi Scrappinaddict - glad you liked them - the idea for the folding one is from Lisa Vollrath's Amazing ATCs how-to CD - lots of great folding ATC patterns and holders in her collection. (And once you start making the folding ATCs, it becomes addictive! :o)

user2126 09/26/2006 #

Marie in MO. I sent your ATC's on 9/13, Have you received them?

Received three gorgeous ATCs from Zillah done with alcohol inks in different color themes. Lovely! Thanks!

user3117 09/27/2006 #

Debbie L. from Michigan- I recieved today the most charming ATCs. Your work is very lovely and I love you style.

Were the main features those plastic shrinks? I hope we can trade again. Thanks for the lovely cards

Iowascrapemouse 09/29/2006 #

Received 3 cards from Brenda today. They are great, you must be a stamper...the ladies hair looks so realistic, and then when you look closer, it hits you. What is the shiny stuff you use on the cards. I don't think I can pick a favorite!!! Thank you!

bren 09/30/2006 #

Mickey, glad you liked them! I am not much of a stamper. I think if i could afford it, I would be, though!

Anyway, the coating I put on the cards is Flecto Varathane. It's a floor finish that dries really fast, in minutes. It usually comes in large cans, but some polymer clay suppliers have it in small jars.

user1656 10/ 1/2006 #

Received 3 GREAT ATCs from Betsy Spencer yesterday. This is her 2nd swap and you wouldn't know it. Very nice work, and thanks for the cup of tea! How'd you know that I love tea? Carol B.

evieroz 10/ 2/2006 #

I still have not received my Atc's for this swap. I sure hope I have not been left out in the cold.

varouna 10/ 2/2006 #

I've sent mine out this morning - some things came up around the house. I'm really sorry.

lisavollrath 10/ 2/2006 #

For those of you who have not received items yet:

First, be patient. If your partner mailed on the deadline date, and is in another country, it may take up to two weeks for your package to arrive. Just because the mailing deadline is past doesn't mean your partner is late.

Second, rating links are available two weeks after the final mailing date. If you still haven't received your package by then, feel free to rate your partner appropriately, and leave a message saying that your package didn't arrive. This will help all other hosts using the Swap-bot system identify people who don't deliver their goods in a timely manner.

I received 3 beautiful ATC'S from Marsha and some tea! Thank you so much. Sorry it took so long to post, but I'm in a middle of a move! Thanks again, Betsey K.

Received 3 charming cards from Susan S-L. in NH today!
I love card sets that are a "series". I'm interested in what kind of paint you used.

Thanks for sharing a bit 'o yourself through your art.

AuntNub 10/ 4/2006 #
