I'm sorry to seem so un-informed, but what is an ATC? Please excuse how new to all this I am.
Thanks ladies!
My thanks to Mary Fitzpatrick for my first Mail Art....love it and excited to continue next month.

Mari,
If you hit reply to topic (instead of the quick response box), you can respond with words and then click the little box with a yellow square and arrow pointing up. Click choose file, click on the picture from your files that you want to upload, click open, then click upload. It will take a minute, but when it is done, you will see some words appear in your message box that look scrambled. that is your picture. I attached a card I made for a friend to this message so I could go through the steps and give them to you correctly. If my picture shows up. then I gave you the correct steps. If it doesn't, just ignore me, I don't know what I am talking about. lol
Hope this helps, Rachael

Hi there! I've actually been using this stuff a lot. It's Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. I think I got this bottle at Michael's. I have another brand too, but I can't find it right now to tell you what it is :) Anyway, the only issue i've had is when I used it on a bookmark I accidentally bent it and it cracked, so you do have to be careful with it. The black part is just puff paint. I had fun with it, wasn't as perfect as I would have liked after it dried, but was fun to give it a whirl.quote:

For those of you looking forward to April's Mail Art Exchange, here is the link to the discussion. :) (There isn't much to discuss yet, but at least you know where to go for April! LOL)
I will be sending emails out with the name of your new partner within the next few days. Be on the lookout for it!

Hi Danielle, received it today, what a lovely pop up card, very spring, I will try to get a picture of it and post it, thankyou for the lupines, I love them they grow in the fields wild up here so this is the perfect place, I planted some last year and was hoping to plant more this year. They are one of my favorite flowers.
Thankyou Jill Lillian |

OMG! The old saying still holds so true..... "It's amazing what you can learn if you would just read!"
I was so totally confused about who I was to send my March Mail Art to. I received something very nice while my piece was still in production. My incoming envelope had no name on the return address and I came very close to addressing my mail to the return address but somewhere in the back of my brain I knew it was OH that my partner resided. The piece I received came from MO (the Show Me state, of course)! Anyway, I finally figured it out...
Judging from the thread posts here I was to still send my outgoing to my partner in OH. (Right?) I hope so!
The "very" homemade piece went out to Dawn in OH. Again, SO SORRY for the delay in posting and getting the piece out of TX. Thanks to Rachel for the coordination of all this and trying to keep us all on one accord. To my March partner, please forgive the lateness and I hope the wait is worth it. Like many others, our household has been very disrupted with illness and outside responsibilities this past month. My April partner will get her piece early ~for sure. :) Hugs to All!

Pam, I barely made the deadline but your package went out today! Went priority so you should get it before the end of the week. But a word of caution: there is something wrapped in plastic, open that carefully....there are two pieces that can open up easily when tilted and there are things inside you don't want falling all over the place LOL. I put it in a plastic bag before wrapping in bubble wrap, so you'll know what I am talking about you you see it. Enjoy hon!

This is the Mail-Art I did for Vickie Harrell. I took a picture of the back too but for some reason it won't post.
I decided to do Purple and Blues since she was my Purple Partner. I think my desire for Spring came out in this piece. I have such Spring Fever I can hardly stand it. Anybody Else bit with The Spring
