What comes to mind when you think of a castle? Is it a large palace, or a small keep? Is it from a fairy tale world, or medieval history? Drawbridges, moats, dragons, high towers, or something more modern perhaps - show us a part of your art kingdom. :)

If you want to play this month, send me an email (pkeflin@hotmail.com)with the subject, or a PM (Private Message): FEBRUARY 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 FEBRUARY 7th to sign up. On the 8th (I'll be back in town by then!) everyone who has registered will receive a list of all the other artists with whom they will be trading. You will then have until February 28th (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, though we 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 digital and hybrid 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've just received Ann's lovely card and magnet and Helen's gorgeous magnet. Thank you ladies, they have really cheered me up. I am very behind this month as unexpected family events have taken up a lot of time. I'm afraid that the fridge magnet and ATc are going to take a while as I have to cut down my computer use for a week or so. Please bear with me x

Sheesh - sorry I've been pretty much MIA this month, ladies! I actually finished my castle ATC like the 2nd of Feb or something ridiculous like that -- just haven't had the time to print them out & mail them! I'll do them tomorrow morning and put them in Monday's mail, I SWEAR!

Any cards that have arrived for me in the past couple of days will have been hanging out at the post office because my stupid mailbox fell off its stupid post and the mailman is refusing to deliver until it's securely fastened again. Ugh! Sorry... I'm over it now... LOL!

I've joined the Design Star contest over at ScrapMatters, which is why I've been so busy. (Here's (http://www.scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showgallery.php/cat/905) the link to the gallery full of Week 1 freebies if anyone's interested. There will probably be somewhere around 100 entries by the end of Monday! You do have to register to view this gallery.) So please wish me luck in that, but I probably won't be back for the monthly mail swap until April.
