OK, Let's see how this one goes.....We have just finished receiving in the mail the Fall Rounds. This swap will be for 3, yes 3, Christmas Round ATC's. This will be the October swap. We will also have a November swap, but will sign up in November..
Back to the October Round Christmas ATC swap....They will be no smaller than 3 inches in diameter and no larger than 4 inches. A somewhat consistent size is needed due to mailing expenses.
******All cards needed on or by October 12th************
Information:
1. 3 round ATC's (the backs of the artist trading cards can be cereal boxes, light weight cardboard, etc...)
2. Decorate as Christmasy as you can! We will not have a say in what color or this or that, you all will do a great job!
3. On the back of the cards you will include your name, date, MJF number.
4. You will need to send 5 stamps NOT attached to an envelope. I will furnish the envelopes. Due to the different artistic styles the postage varies. Stamps will be returned if not used.
5. Sign up ends October 2nd
6. I need them by October 12th
7. I will separate and mail them by October 15th
8. I cannot wait on any due to me being out of town on the 17th.
9. This is for the month of October!
10. Go ahead and start planning and crafting!! I know with all you farmgirls, you have supplies galore!!
Have fun and happy crafting!!
You can never be to kind! |

Round ATC have a softer look about them they are really pretty.
I like them a lot better than the the rectangle ones which can really be pretty too.
I will be in the next one.

Christine,
What a great idea! Make a thread loop instead of a punch hole in the ATC to make it into an ornament. I am getting right on it.

I can't tell you how much I LOVE the atc's that I received!!
Heather-your "milk and cookies" atc is adorable!! My son wants to leave it on the plate with the cookies for santa this year!
Jenny-what a LOVELY cardinal atc! Loved the details and the snow on the "warmest wishes!"
And a special thank you to Beth-LOVED your reindeer atc! The mini clothespin and Christmas tree were perfect! And a great idea to add the twine loop-you KNOW it's going on my tree this year! Also wanted to thank you for the fabulous snowman card and for being a GREAT swap hostess!!!
In fact, I'm going to use a needle and thread (so I don't damage Heather and Jenny's atc's) and make loops so I can put all three lovely atc's on my tree this year!
Thank you again, farm girls!!.JPG) |
