[FLCindy]

Is there going to be an ATC Mail Swap for August 2008? I mssed the deadlines for July.
TIA,
Cindy

[Kimmie]

I would like to be included in August's exchange. This will be my first ATC exchange.;)

Pam has been hostessing the ATC challenge, and I'm sure she'll be posting in a day or so, guys. Glad to see you found this challenge too, Kimmie!

I think the theme title says it all - For the Love of Music - no need for descriptions and words to jump-start your thought process! Enjoy this one :cool:

If you want to play this month, send me an email (pkeflin@hotmail.com)with the subject: AUGUST ATC SWAP. Please include your name, mailing address and email address (for you veterans, just reply to this thread saying you're participating...I have your info...unless it's changed). 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 (um, or later!) 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...um...we don't know the upper limit yet! LOL! We like big groups and have been hovering around 8-10 participants each month. You may create one ATC based on the theme and replicate it for everyone or you may create 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 ask. We do have a lot of information about Artist Trading Cards (http://www.digitalartquirks.com/articles/article_atc_becky_march2006.htm) in an ARTicle in our Resource section that might answer any questions you have.
Looking forward to another swap with you all!! Okay, who's in?

I am still work on mine. I printed one card, I need to make small changes and then apply elements/emblishments. I have the envelopes ready. Please note the dedication on the back of the card. I design with my heart.
