ATC Swap Details

OK Ladies.. here are the details for our first ever ATC Swap!

The deadline to sign up is: March 10th.

You will make an ATC (all the same) for the people in the swap and mail the ATC to them so that they will recieve it before April 1st. This will give us plenty of time to get them done. The only rule for the ATC is that it have your initial on the front somewhere, other than this, anything goes.

After, April 1st, you can post your ATC that you had sent to everyone here.

Hope this makes sense! Happy ATCing!

Yes.... that's the right size for ATC's! I am looking forward to this... now to get a plan underway!!

I have my plan all planned, LOL! Its just a little art piece but I think it is fun! Can't wait to share it with you!

So ,looking forward to seeing it Maggi, your ATC's are amazing!
... as are Lois and Wanita's too!

I really am stressing about this today for some reason..... I hope I will meet your expectations!

Ditto Helen....

Oh my goodness, there are no expectations!! Just a little piece of you is what an ATC is to me. Mine is very simple, 1 piece of paper and 2 stamps. That's it.

so are they just on cardstock or something thicker?

I use some chipboard. I save all the backs off paper stacks & packs and use to make embellies, ATC's, whatever.

I'm in.

Like maggi, I use chipboard too. An old cereal box works great too!
I decorate the front of the card, and then put matching pp on the back!
Like Lois said, kind of like a mini layout with a photo! Or you can use a photo! No rules! (ewxcept your initial somewhere on the front , large or small, for our swap!).

YIPEE!!!!!!!!

The backs should have information about the artist on them and are numbered. If you do 10 ATCs then they are numbered 1/10, 2/10 etc. Here's a back that I created and you are welcome download this image and use it. Just be sure to check the sizing before you use it. When I made the image each rectangle would fit on a 2.5 x3.5 but that gets goofed up sometimes when downloading.

Here's a link to an article about ATCs. http://painting.about.com/od/paintingforbeginnersfaq/f/ArtTradingCard.htm

I'would like to give this a try.when is it to be completed?

Thanks Maggi for the info and link!

Thanks so much Maggi! These are wonderful!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Maggi!!

I also use for mine an old deck of playing cards that no longer is a full deck. They work great too, and are the perfect size.

Maggi I was wondering about that. Thanks for posting the info.
I decided what technique I'm going to use and I'm so excited to join in.

Thanks Helen!
