October ATC Swap

[kygirl]

Ann's going to be on vacations next month (lucky girl), so I'll be filling in for during October.

ATC Challenge Swap - OCTOBER 2009

This month's challenge theme is : SPOOKY

If you want to play, send me a PM (Private Message): OCTOBER ATC SWAP and please include your name and mailing address.

You have until midnight October 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 the end of October 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.)

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 in an ARTicle in our Resource section that might answer any questions you have.

I look forward to swapping with you all.

I must admit that the October issues of Somerset Studios, with their Halloween ATCs and journals, are my favorites. Must be my dark side. Glad to see you all joining in for some spooky cards.

[Yorkshire Lass]

Looks like we're going to have a good-sized group for the October swap. I can't wait to see what you're all up to.

Jayne, adding your September card will just make the October mail twice as good.

[finecraft]

You have mail! This looks like fun! Count me in.

[kygirl]

Just a heads up: I blogged about our swap, and where to find Halloween freebies, http://donnabmiller.typepad.com/my_weblog/

[Jeannie]

Now this my friend, is kismet.

I've had the dust settle from the past year. And started 4 projects simultaneously on my craft table. The first completed one was transferring all my ATC's out of a binder and into a large rolodex. I was admiring them all displayed and came across the DAQ ones; which made me sentimental and missing this place. Voila! An ATC swap! :p:rolleyes::D

[gothmama]

My dears, I am so in! And an ATC I can pull off even without the aid of my digital medium. Cool! Thanks for arranging, Donna, and I have to say that last year's October project is one of my favorite objects in the world and still proudly displayed. (all year!)

Blessings,

Laurel

[craftyamanda]

I'd like to join...this will be my first ever ATC swap!

[kygirl]

Just one more day to sign up for this month's ATC swap. Anyone else wanting to play along? Anyone?

[peppapig]

Hi everyone finished my cards,I shall post them early next week as the posties are on strike here in the U.K at the moment.

I had a slight problem when printing,the coloured ink started to run out(typical no spare) but fortunately I was pleased with the way they printed out,so just to let you know I'm going to send them out anyway,so you'll all be getting a variation of the original card to the one I'll post at the reveal.

Cheers
Jayne x :)

[Yorkshire Lass]

Yay, mine are ready and will be in the post on Monday, postal strike permitting.

[finecraft]

Heads up ladies! Mine are going in the mail Monday :)

[craftyamanda]

I mailed mine yesterday (Monday). A question- mine are all different, and I wondered if we will be posting pictures of them in the gallery here, so everyone can see them?

[peppapig]

Ann recieved your fantastic spooky card this morning,brilliant,love it thankyou!!

Jayne x :D

[Yorkshire Lass]

Hi CraftyAmanda

Yes, please do post your ATCs to the gallery. Donna hosted this month, but I'm sure she won't mind if I suggest a reveal date of week beginning 10 November which should give everyone time to create and post out their ATCs.

[peppapig]

Hi ladies,
My oct ATC's have been posted today along with my Sept ATC's which are late(sorry).


Jayne :)

[Yorkshire Lass]

Jayne your lovely cards arrived today and of course they are both absolutely superb.

Thank you so much.

Wonder what happened to the post strike?

[gothmama]

I got my first two cards in the post yesterday, and they are so SPOOKY COOL! Thanks Ann and Evelyn!!! I have been down with a virus, so will get mine in the post this weekend. This is so fun, thanks everyone for the seasonal spooky swap!

Blessings and BOO!

Laurel

[finecraft]

Laurel- Hope you feel better soon! I an getting over a nasty virus (finally) so I know how hard it can be. Get better soon! :)

[WildGoose]

Happy-almost-Halloween!

Finished and ready to roll your way!

Chris

[gothmama]

(Thanks for the well wishes, Evelyn!)

I am so excited!!! Mine are into the post on the 31st! A Halloween post mark!
(I't like taxes, right, that they are not late if they are posted at the right time?)
<grin>

These cards are SOOOO cool! I love them! Everyone is so wonderful and unique. I am always thrilled to be in such wonderful company of artistic creatrices!

Lots of fun to be swapping again, thanks my friends!

Bright Halloween Blessings!

Laurel

[WildGoose]

Artistic creatrices!

Thanks for saying that, gothmama!:D

And thanks to co-creatrice, Ann for your most perfect duo!:cool:

[Jeannie]

My ATC's will be in the mail Monday Nov. 2 :(
Sorry everyone. I had some wicked dizziness pop up 2 wks. ago. I've gone to the Dr., who has prescribed meds. and has set up a battery of testing to occur this coming month with a Nov. 30th review date. oh boy. :o

[peppapig]

Hi Amanda,
Your gorgeous card arrived today,it's wonderful thankyou very much!!

Jayne x :)

[Yorkshire Lass]

Amanda your lovely scary card arrived today. Such a spooky house on the hill.

Thank you.

[craftyamanda]

Ann & Jayne-
You are very welcome! I'm excited they made it all the way over to England so quickly. Ann, I got yours...oooh, VERY spooky. Mine were more spooky-cute, but yours is actually scary. Oh, and I also got Evelyn's- loved it, too! So detailed! Thanks ladies! Can't wait to see what everyone else sends! :)

[Yorkshire Lass]

Well, Miss Laurel, what a 'fear' some card, Mr Moon is certainly giving that spider a wide berth. Great job.

Oh, and thank you for the Halloween postmark ........ I shall definitely use that in some art in the future.

[Yorkshire Lass]

Jeannie your card popped through my letter box today and it's a stunner, I like it all but I so like your little girl looking a tad frightened. Thank you so much.

[peppapig]

Jeannie and Laurel your cards arrived today,both wonderful,love them thankyou very much!

Jayne x :D

[WildGoose]

Evelyn, Amanda and Jayne-all cards have arrived 3 over a three day period starting Wednesday-can't beat that for great timing!

Looking forward to the reveal so as to comment more!
Thank-you all!

[Yorkshire Lass]

Yay Chris, I have received your very emotive and poignant October ATC today, and it's beautiful. Thank you so much.

[WildGoose]

Thanks, Ann!
Cards are arriving to me either back-to-back, or in pairs, as yesterday!

Thank-you, Jeannie and Laurel...without giving anything away, I can definitely say you both had great packaging around your great cards!

Starting us off on this Remembrance Day, here's my entry:

[Yorkshire Lass]

Evelyn your wonderful "Witch's Night" October ATC popped through my letter box today and what a treat it is. Superb. Thank you so much.

[WildGoose]

Hi Carolyn!
Your fetching and -dare I say,it?- flirtatious creation came today!
Thank-you!
Chris

[Yorkshire Lass]

Carolyn thank you so much for your beautiful October ATC. Love how you've combined vintage with the colours of Halloween. Bravo.

[Yorkshire Lass]

Victoria it feels like Christmas this morning as I received THREE ATCs from you ....... Yay. August's is gorgeous, September's is quirky, and October's is plain funny, your little skeleton looks like he's doing an exit stage left (with the appropriate music of course). I won't get that tune out of my head all day. Thanks so much.

[WildGoose]

Hi Victoria,
You're batty Follies skeleton maid ( m'thinks- with those pom-poms )!- has arrived as of today!
Thank-you for the chuckle!
Cheers,
Chris/wildGoose

[FLCindy]

To My Dear Swap Sisters,
My Oct ATC's are quite delayed this year. I'd forgotten I'd signed up for this swap until I began receiving ATC's.
Then, my computer nearly died. It is slowly recovering (installing new software when it arrives) but the ATC I created was lost (with alot of other photos!) I recreated the ATC. I tried to print, however, the trial of PSE 8 is giving me difficulty. When the actual version of PSE 8 arrives, I shall print and mail to you! Sorry! :(

[craftyamanda]

Cindy- got your ATC today- at first I thought it was a christmas ATC- because of the card and the colors- then I looked at it more carefully- Ooh, very spooky and creepy too! Thanks!

[Yorkshire Lass]

Cindy I received your wonderful October ATC card today. It's gorgeous and I love the stamps on the envelope too. They will definitely be scanned and used in my artwork.

[mizamigo]

Tangie,
I recieved your Spooky ATC in the mail today along with your special gift. Thank you so much!
