Description:

The rating links are now available. Please rate your partners appropriately and kindly!

This is a 3 for 3 swap. That means you will make 3 artist trading cards and send them to your assigned partner, and someone will make 3 artist trading cards and send them to you. Simple, eh?

There's no theme for this swap, and no media restrictions. All ATCs are welcome!

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. More information on ATCs can be found at LisaVollrath.com, here .

Please be sure you can meet the mailing deadline of June 30th before you sign up for this swap. You know how I get...

Also, if you're new to Swap-bot, be sure to read the FAQ page so you'll know what happens when. This is my first swap here, so I'm learning, too.

This looks like a fun swap, thanks for the invite Lisa! ~Cindy

user1629 06/ 4/2006 #

This is a super idea, it makes for easy swapping. I'm looking forward to playing. Thanks for the invite Lisa. x0x Ann

rainny 06/ 4/2006 #

When will we get the names of whom we send our ATC's? Thanks for letting me play too.

lisavollrath 06/ 5/2006 #

I'm glad you all found your way here. I see lots of names of folks I've done projects with before.

Rainny, I caught you not reading the FAQ! Names are revealed when the sign ups are closed---for this swap, that means after next Sunday.

user1676 06/ 5/2006 #

I'm looking forward to participating in this swap. I've participated in two 4X4 chunky book swaps before, but never an on-line ATC swap. Lisa you have creatively inspired me. Thanks.

user1639 06/ 5/2006 #

I am very excited to participate in this swap! I have been in at least a half dozen online swaps & I even followed through with the commitment on all of them LOL This is my first go at ATCs & an ATC swap & I am looking forward to getting started playing with my ideas tonight!

Thanx Lisa, for this oppportunity, Miss O

user1699 06/ 6/2006 #

Always wanted to participate in a swap. I too have never made an ATC, but it is time to start . I am running with scissors right now and promise to play well with others.

user1679 06/ 6/2006 #

This brings me back to the days of heavy participation in Nervousness.org, which is how I found your site and newsletter, Lisa. This is going to be a great way for me to get back into the artistic swing of things. Thanks Lisa!

lisavollrath 06/ 6/2006 #

sigh Nervousness. I miss it. When it was good, it was very, very good.

user1722 06/ 7/2006 #

ATCs are such fun. Thanks Lisa for a chance to play and meet new players. Wowoo or something like that.

user1727 06/ 7/2006 #

thanks for the invite, looking forward to it.

user1746 06/ 9/2006 #

This is my first online swap!

lisavollrath 06/10/2006 #

Marcia, I'd have figured you for an old timer. Sorry to hear that your store has closed :(

user1763 06/11/2006 #

Looking forward to swap!

alteredfaireys 06/11/2006 #

Can't wait to get started!! Anyone decide on what theme you may use?

pharmgirl 06/12/2006 #

Would love to sign up for this swap. Count me in! debbi

lisavollrath 06/12/2006 #

Sorry pharmgirl, but sign ups are already closed---if you didn't get your name onto the participants list, it's too late.

Mel, I caught you not reading the swap description posted above---there's an answer to your question there.

user1639 06/12/2006 #

Oh my gawsh! You've created a monster! I've completed several series of ATC in an assortment of themes. I can't stop!

user1768 06/12/2006 #

Thanks for hosting, Lisa... I'll hope you'll make this a regular thing!!

To the other participants--it might help your assigned partner if you fill out your profile. If your partner knew even a FEW things about you, you might be a lot happier with the ATCs you receive. Just a suggestion!

I'm really looking forward to this. Thanks again, Lisa!

Christina

lisavollrath 06/12/2006 #

Thanks for the suggestion, Christina, but please be aware that anything you put in your profile can be seen by ALL registered members. I intentionally leave mine blank on most sites, and just put in my web site address. I figure everything you need to know about me is there.

alteredfaireys 06/13/2006 #

For the gallery do we upload the ATCs we sent out or the ATCs we recieved? TIA!

lisavollrath 06/14/2006 #

I would prefer that you upload the item you SEND, not receive. It's always better to scan and post your own work rather than violating the copyright of the artist who sends to you.

Sorry about the confusion. The text that says to upload what you receive is the default site text---I don't think they were thinking about original artwork when they wrote it.

Sonora 06/17/2006 #

Ahhh, some of the ol' folks from Nervousness. We all miss it. Such a shame.

Lucky me! My three ATC's were in my mailbox today. Ms. Linda K. just jumped right to it! And each is lovelier than the previous.

Thanks Linda.

Lisa, I don't know how to rate people (as in a 5 for timeliness and superior effort?). Where did I miss that in the directions for this site? I'm new to this too.

Sonora 06/17/2006 #

Lisa (etal.), Never mind. I found the clearly labeled "rating Info" button on the left hand side. ; }

stonekeepers 06/20/2006 #

I mailed my cards today and uploaded the photos...but, I put the wrong name in the senders field...guess there is no way to edit photos once they are up.

Also, the upload does not automatically change the size of the photos, so you guys may want to do that before they are uploaded...otherwise, the photos are so big that you can't see what the cards look like.

Lisa, thanks for hosting this swap.

user1679 06/20/2006 #

I just received my ATCs and I hope to send mine over the weekend. The ones I received are awesome, I really like them. Thank you!

user1024 06/21/2006 #

Cher - thank you so much - the ATCs are glorious!

Mine will be starting their journey over the pond tomorrow

user1722 06/22/2006 #

I just sent my partner her ATCs. I also thought I downloaded them to the gallery. No such luck. Has my comment but no pictures. Maybe Brenda Lea will have to post them for me if I can't get them to load later.

vintagepix 06/25/2006 #

Received 3 lovely ATCs today from Laurie in Michigan! Thanks! I hope my recipient Kari got her cards by now? Fun to see how different everyone's cards are.

user1632 06/30/2006 #

user1649 07/ 2/2006 #

My ATC's are going out to Michelle in Canada today - I am late and I am sorry. I waited until the last minute then had an emergency. I am very sorry.

I received three wonderful ATC's from Lori while I was gone. They are wonderful! Thank you so much.

arizonarose 07/ 3/2006 #

Arizonarose 7/2/2006 Received three beautiful act cards from Kathy in New Zealand and a neat napkin in a paua design (her native abalone shell design)Thanks for my first atc cards.

user1629 07/ 3/2006 #

Cindy posted my swaps in Plainville CT on Friday June 30th. I received them (in Wales UK) today 3rd July!! Now that is a very fast delivery. Pat on the back for postal workers on both sides of the ocean. Thanks for the wonderful ATC's and the sweetest card, shaped like a house, with a door that opens. Never seen anything like it. I love the ATC's, thank you Cindy:-) Special thanks to Lisa for running a super swap. x0x Ann

groovyholly 07/ 5/2006 #

I received my wonderful atcs from Brendalea in IL. Thanks so much. They are awesome!!!

alteredfaireys 07/ 6/2006 #

I rec'd my ATCs and am reading about this rating info on SwapBot... http://www.swap-bot.com/rating_info.php It says there should be a spot that says “Rate the partners who sent you stuff.� I am not seeing this. Does anyone know how to do that? TIA!

groovyholly 07/ 6/2006 #

It will appear two weeks after the sending deadline.

stonekeepers 07/ 8/2006 #

I have not received anything yet...how long should I wait before leaving feedback? And I mailed my ATC's several weeks ago, but have not yet heard that they arrived. It would be nice if Swap-bot sent reminder e-mails.

GeminiWilder 07/ 9/2006 #

Unfortunately, I have not received anything yet either. I mailed a pkg to the UK and it got there in 4-1/2 days - from Connecticut! - am getting a bit bummed. If nothing ever comes for me, can I find out who had my name and rate them as a non-swapper? --Cindy

user1664 07/ 9/2006 #

Thanks to Cynthia/Sheba Kitty Productions for the ATCs - my first fabric ones. Can't wait to try some of my own! Thanks for the inspiration -

Lunea

lisavollrath 07/10/2006 #

For those of you who have not received packages yet, yes, you can use the ratings system to indicate your partner dropped the ball. Just use the Rate link---it should be visible in the yellow box at the top of the page.

GeminiWilder 07/10/2006 #

oh, YAY!!! i just got my ATC's all the way from California. thank you, Jen, they are adorable!!! -Cindy

user1637 07/11/2006 #

My cards have arrived from Joey in Texas. I was starting to get a little impatient but mail can take a couple of weeks to get down under. However thay are gorgeous and were definately worth the wait. Thanks for the wonderful swap Kathy in NZ

lisavollrath 07/12/2006 #

Becky's ATCs arrived last week, and they're lovely additions to my collection. Thanks, Becky!

user1765 07/13/2006 #

Thank you Barbara Meier for the WONDERFUL ATCs. I recieved them today all the way from Vancouver BC. They are just gorgeous!

arizonarose 07/17/2006 #

Love doing this swap of atc's. First one I ever tried. Can't stop making them for future swaps. Don't know how you (Lisa) gets all your art works done, I am sure you must never sleepl

Received my ATCs from D. Smith in Cornwall two weeks ago. It took a long time to cross the pond. I mistakenly posted this to the ATCIII comment page. They are great!
