I'm so grateful to Carolyn for August's theme! We were discussing some art she had done and the subject of clocks and time came up, so I'm like, "Hey, that would be a great theme!" So, we're calling it The Time of Your Life figuring that would encompass things like clocks, calendars, seasons, or even just special moments in your life. Don't want to stifle anyone's creativity by being too defined in our themes, you know?

So, if you would like to participate in this snail mail ATC swap, please send an email to me (mailto:webchyck@comcast.net)with the subject: AUGUST SWAP. Please include your name, mailing address and email address. You have until midnight Eastern on August 7th to sign up. On the 8th everyone who has registered will receive a list of all the other artists with whom they will be trading. You will then have until August 31st to create, print, and mail your artist trading cards to the other participants. (Keep postal rates in mind before you sign up as you are responsible for mailing the cards yourself. If we have enough participants in a particular country, we can group them together, otherwise it will be an international endeavor.) Each swap group will have no more than 9 participants (including yourself). You may create one ATC based on the theme and replicate it for everyone or you may create nine unique ATCs to send out. You may also use any combination of paper and digital you like for this swap.

If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to TAKE A MINUTE and jot me a note! We do have a lot of information about Artist Trading Cards in an an ARTicle in our Resource section (http://www.digitalartquirks.com/articles/article_atc_becky_march2006.htm) that might answer any questions you have.

I'm looking forward to this swap...counting down the seconds until I receive your card!

We're up to 12 participants for the August swap! It would be fun to have two groups...can I get six more people to sign up? C'mon! You know you want to! Time is running out! You just might get in under the wire!

My husband has forbidden me to decorate the cards the way I wanted to, he thinks it would look as though I am posting drugs, so I shall have to send everyone finishing instructions. Sorry about that.

Well, we don't want to start an international incident! Perhaps there is wisdom in his concern! ;D

I'm sorry I didn't get to sign up for the August ATC swap. I hope I remember to get my sign-up done for the next one. ATCs are fun!!!

Mine have been printed, just need to assemble and mail--perhaps in the next couple of days that will happen!

Same here, I just got mine back from the shop. I'll be finished by tomorrow or Wednesday and will send them off then. I think they will take about a week to arrive.

I sent my cards a few days ago, they will probably take about a week. Hopefully they'll arrive all safely. Please let me know, when you get them, so I know, everything has worked out.

Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful cards I got this months. 2 cards should still be on their way. Has everybody got my cards ok. I haven't heard back from Jennifer yet.

Are we supposed to post our cards in the gallery after the month is over, so everybody can see them?

Yes, Rikki, you can post your card in the gallery now! I want to see what the other group did!
