I have seen in several threads that many ladies, like myself, find doing 20 ATC's a little overwhelming. One farmgirl wanted a smaller ATC swap, so that artist could spend more time on each ATC, to make them really fabulous. Some have also expressed the desire to do an ATC swap locally. I am setting the number to 5. You have to have 75 posts to join.

Oh I'm glad you like it! I'm still an ATC beginner so I'm learning as I go I'm afraid. THANKS so much for swapping! This was really fun :)

Sissy, I got my ATC card in the mail today. It's lovely! I really like the colors and the background photo. It reminds me of the door on my great uncle's old barn and brought back some happy memories. Thank you!
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

I agree with Sissy, Trish! You should NOT have low craft esteem. Your work is gorgeous! I don't celebrate Christmas which is why I didn't sign up for the Christmas village swap.

Sissy,
I have a vintage storybook with excerpts in it, that I use to cut up. The hard stuff is called Glossy Accents. I have low craft esteem, so I try really hard. I made another bottle cap at the same time, for my sister that says, Tiny Sister, and the lady has crazy hair, just like her.

Trish and Marilyn I ran to the post this morning and guess what was waiting for me?! They are G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.!! Love them and have them on display on my new photo mobile I'm using for special ATCs. Trish how did you get my name in the bling on there??? It's really really pretty.
You are two very talented farmgirls, thank you so much! I'm afraid mine are going to pale in comparison but I hope you like them. :)
Thank you again so much!
Sissy

Hi Betty,
I posted one in the paper crafters thread, in the Stitching and Crafting area. quote:

Betty, an ATC is an "Artist Trading Card". They are works of art done in any medium the artist chooses so long as it is the size of a playing card. Once we make them, we trade them!

Trish! I love, love, love the ATC! Purple is my favorite color and daisies are my favorite flowers! The little envelopes are sweet, too. Thanks again. I sent yours again so it should be there on Monday or Tuesday.

Trish and Sissy your ATC's are on their way in today's mail. I got off work early yesterday afternoon due to heavy rain so I was able to finish these sooner than I had expected to. Looking forward to receiving yours soon!

I'm good to go for anytime in October :)

Any deadline after mid November works for me. October is a busy month for me with work (leaf season!), Rotary and NW Toleliners activities plus the MJF swaps I've already signed up for.

Let me know what dates work for you. It's such a small group, that we can do whatever works for everyone. quote:
