OK Girls, here we go!!! Please read the following carefully!!
********************************************************************************************************************************************
There were only 24 girls to sign up...so let's just make 24 cards and not separate into 2 groups.....Your mission will be to make 24 cards.
Send them to me as usual and email me if you need my address..
**************************************************************************************************************************************
Girls who have sent their cards.
Madeline
Debbie H
Mary F
Catherine
Sandi
Amy
Kelly
Deborah M
Holly
Pam
Debbie B
Andrea
CeeJay
Chris
Penny
Connie
Christy
Nancy
Anne
One girls forgot to send me their return address and name--you made cards with the alphabet on them...Please email me with your address..
Fall is just around the corner and we are opening a Harvest Fall ATC swap to celebrate.
(There is a tutorial on ATC's under the title "What is an ATC" on the MJF swap site forum for those of you who are new farmgirls or want to know what ATC's are.)
We have a few different rules or suggestions this time....PLEASE read.
Also, Please keep your completed cards until the week of the send out date. I LOVE to get your cards and it is so fun, but I am running out of room to stash the different swaps for the ATC's that we have right now!! LOL It looks like ATC Heaven in my craft area!! :) :)!
Please put a sturdier back on your cards rather than just thick srapbook paper or cardstock. A playing card for the back is perfect and really a sturdy and inexpensive way of making sure your cards get to me without being bent. I use cereal boxes and cut them sometimes, just to recycle and make less trash...This is a good backing, also.
OK, here we go:::
Fall Harvest ATC Swap:::
Make your atc's to reflect the fall season...whatever way you would like to decorate. Any medium, just as creatively as you can.
If you are using hot glue, please use sparingly...
We all love the Fall with it's smells, colors and wonderful sights.
You will make 20 cards and send them to me at the send out date time.
Please include 5 stamps so I can return 20 cards to you. (Sending them all to me helps with postage) :)
Signup ends September 10th and the send out date will be Sept.25th
Happy Crafting!! Have fun!!
There will be a Halloween ATC swap that will begin in early September for anyone who will want to make Halloween ATC's. Join in both...or just "witchever". Smiles, Beth
You can never be to kind! |

Thanks everyone for the beautiful cards and thank you Beth for all the work organizing the swap. I notice something new every time I look at them. I think these swaps are going to be addictive.

Beth,
I realized after posting last night I forgot to give you a big THANK YOU!! You are so sweet doing all of these swaps. Amazing. And yes, I plan on stringing them up on hemp string with tiny clothespins. :)

Hi everyone! Got my beautiful package of artwork yesterday in the mail. Amazing!! I am so inspired by all the creativity! I have posted a group picture of all the cards on FB. I am so proud to belong to this group...Penny-the dog playing in the leaves stamp is from InkyAntics..they have the greatest acrylic stamps. You can get them online or at your favorite scrapbook store. I bought mine from Archivers. Good luck! |

Oh annemary....string them up? What a great idea. I was gonna frame mine all together in a big frame. I think I like the idea of a banner.

Hi Ladies, Returning from work today was so much fun! My little guy was still napping so I got to sit down and go through everyone's little pieces of art. They are all so wonderful. I love fall so much and I'm excited to string these up. Thank you! Love them!

I am sure that many days from now I will be telling about one of my beautiful cards,
But I want to be sure to tell each of you how much I love your cards, This is my first ATC but it won't be my last...
Connie, "Killarney" I am so impressed by yours, I love the kitten in the boots, so farmgirlish...Dh liked the 3-D look of it... 
Debbie "Buzzn Bee" Is it difficult to sew on the cards? I had thought about it when I was making mine but wasn't sure if it could be done. I just love how you did that.
Debra "DebbieBee" I really love the dog and the tag on yours, do you mind if I ask where you got them? It is so cute and reminds me of one of our furry babies.
Mary "BusyBeeMary" There are many things I love, fist love the leaves, so creative, also may I ask about your stamp on the back? Love that...
Ok, let's see that is 4 down and 15 to go...lol...hopefully I will get a pic tomorrow so I can post it...

Isn't this an incredibly gorgeous set of ATCs?! Every one of them is beautiful and together they a feast for the eyes. Thanks to all of my creative, generous farmgirl sisters for sharing this swap. And a special thanks to Beth...you always go above and beyond when you send our ATCs out and every time a new set arrives in the mail it's like Christmas.

Penny, I loved those boots!!I have a pair kinda like them, I think farmgirlish should be a word!! You have no idea how it touches my heart to know that you like your card! My Mom and My God-son just left, after spending about an hour in the Dinning room admiring each and every one!
