Label ATCs
Swap Coordinator:alteredtome (contact)
Swap categories: Art 
Number of people in swap:45
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:December 15, 2006
Date items must be sent by:January 15, 2007
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

This is my 2nd swap with an emphasis on recycle, reuse, and repurpose items. So I thought it would be fun to make ATCs with used labels. Check out vegetable cans, spaghetti jars, wine bottles, etc. I have given a large lead-time so we will have ample time to collect just the right labels. Embellishments are welcome; just remember the finished cards must fit into a standard trading card sleeve.

Each person will have 2 partners and send 2 ATCs to each partner. You do not have to make 4 different ATCs but please send as least 2 different ones for each person. That means you will make 4 artist trading cards and send two to each of your 2 assigned partners. And you will receive 2 from each of your 2 partners.

Any theme but a label should constitute a major part of the ATC. Only original ATCs please, no computer generate ones!

Artist trading cards are 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches, and should be flat enough to slide into a standard trading card sleeve.

Please be sure you can meet the mailing deadline of January 15th before you sign up for this swap.

Newbies are welcome. Please don't sign up for this one if you have a swap-bot rating lower than 4.

just the fact that you used a hocus pocus label for this meant I had to sign up :)

mmm Magic Hat.....

I am not much of a beer drinker but when I saw the hocus pocus label I had to buy a six pack. Then I discovered that the inside of every bottle cap had a "fortune" or saying. I used these for a beverage swap a month or so ago, so I will probably look for different labels to use for this swap.

Hi alteredtome,

Dang! You just HAD to go and coordinate a swap that I'm totally interested in. I'm afraid I'll have to drop the junk mail one and get on board with this one - can't do both due to the holidays....but this is too good to pass up! Thanks for the great idea! :) Mel

Ok so I've joined all 3 of your recycled ATC swaps because they are just such fab ideeas, I'm off work sick at the moment so this should keep me busy! Thanks for all the inspiration.

Annette Kildare & gracemom6, your cards are on their way! Although, with the lines that I saw at the PO today, it might take awhile. :)

Hi to Annette and gracemom6,

Just wondering if you've received my cards yet?

Thanks! Mel

Wow received two from Esther from Tazmania today. Just have to share that I looked one ATC all over and swore I smelled tea but thought I was imagining things, and didn't know why, then found the tea bag labels inside the two layers, it made me laugh at my 'error'. LOVE these! Thank you. Will add that I have not made mine yet, collected more labels over Christmas. I had thought the labels would have to be a major background element (my assumption) but I love these that Esther did! I have been making other ATCs today and now am ready to make label ATCs for this swap!

ChristineMM 12/27/2006 #

Mailed my swaps today to Teresa A. and BrendaLee A. After collecting all those labels making four was easy. Now what will I do with the rest of these labels? :) I want to make more. Thanks for hosting this swap.

Hi,

I've yet to receive my cards from one of my partners - could they let me know if I'll be getting them soon? I've been burned a lot lately and I'm still waiting for cards from THREE swaps. I hate leaving bad ratings but I will if I have to.

Thanks, Mel

sibyl 01/19/2007 #

Hope everyone enjoyed with swap as much as I did. It appears all but one swapper came thru with their ATCs. I have e-mailed the one person and hopefully she will be contacting her partner shortly.

Thanks for playing Christine

Mel 01/24/2007 #

Christine,

I was in two of your swaps (this one and the Recycled Box one), and both were super fun! Thanks for helping me stretch my creativity!
