I am excited about this swap!!! and the ATCs... I saw thaT website from before, and I downloaded the envelope template... I am going to try it!!!

aly0928 04/16/2007 #

I'm a newbie..All of the awesome artwork on here is a little intimidating so this swap is soooo for me!:)

joanandemma 04/16/2007 #

lizelou and Aly0928 - glad to have you on board! It's all fun!

joanandemma 04/21/2007 #

I hope all of you will upload some pics to the gallery - I'd really like to see everyone's ATCs!

lilylemon 04/22/2007 #

Finally, an ATC swap that (as a first-time ATCer)doesn't make me too terribly nervous! :) Thanks for doing this. I hope I can make something half-way decent!

Question: Is it best to make the three ATCs for one partner related (on a particular theme, that is)?

Another Question: Is it a no-no to make the ATCs for one partner same as/ similar to the ATCs for the other partner?

Thanks!

joanandemma 04/24/2007 #

You can make two the same and send one to each partner (I mark on the back 1/2 and 2/2 when I make them the same) or you can make a series of three that go together for each partner (I mark on the back (Name of Series) Series, 1/2, etc) or you can make 6 originals.
Your choice!!

I am new to this whole process and was wondering how do I recieve my partners stats to send the cards?

I am glad to have decided to join. I think this will be fun!

Cinnimini 04/26/2007 #

I'm new to ATC's, but i love paper crafts. :) so this should be fun!

joanandemma 04/27/2007 #

Once the signup deadline has passed, I will initiate the assignment of partner, which is done automatically by Swap-bot. You'll get an email to let you know!

lvpoohbr2 04/29/2007 #

Just wondering why we haven't been assigned swap partners yet? Ü

joanandemma 04/29/2007 #

Partners have been assigned!

lvpoohbr2 04/29/2007 #

I've seen some ATC's in some sort of plastic covering. What are they and where can I buy them? Ü

ladydy5 04/30/2007 #

Craftsbysonora: I get mine thru clearenvelopes.com. Also since I put my ATC's in an album sometimes the plastic envelopes won't fit inside the plastic baseball card type pages and I reuse them when I can. But it is really nice to protect them thru the mail especially if you have embellishments on them with the envelopes.

mbrat 04/30/2007 #

Kristina O. and paper.printcess your ATC's are in the mail.

Cinnimini 04/30/2007 #

Basset Mom and Jackie your cards are on the way! :)

cooan 05/ 1/2007 #

just to let my partners know!

lilylemon 05/ 1/2007 #

Wow! Everyone's ahead of me! :( I have most of them done but I'm taking a class Sunday on a new technique (well, new to me!), so I want to include some of my class ATCs for my partners!

cooan 05/ 2/2007 #

lilylemon 05/ 6/2007 #

Okay, mine are going out in the a.m. I really am a newbie to ATCs, so I hope my partners like these. If not, a little constructive criticism?

eonsmomma 05/10/2007 #

I sent 1 set to 1 partner. I will be sending the other set by Saturday. Cause I have to go to the PO for international stuff.

eonsmomma 05/10/2007 #

I can't find where I rate my partner at. I read the you can do it from the original swap page, but I can't find it. Can someone help me? thanks

lilylemon 05/10/2007 #

You don't get a chance to rate until one week after the closing date. I know sometimes I'm so excited to receive that I want to rate right away, too!:)

lilylemon 05/10/2007 #

Hi everyone! I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this swap thank you!! I sent my items yesterday sorry I couldn't get on the computer last night So please keep an eye out in a week or so Ladydy5 and animalchatter. I really hope you both enjoy them. Take care!!

eonsmomma 05/18/2007 #

Toby I rec'd my cards today and they a great, I like the egg one the best, it is really cool. Thanks I will be sure to rate you as soon as we can.

lvpoohbr2 05/20/2007 #

Well I guess I got stiffed again. It get's a little discouraging when you really work hard on making someone else happy and there are those who just refuse to play by the rules. :( It takes all the fun out of it.

eonsmomma 05/20/2007 #

I am wondering if Carolyn rec'd her cards yet. I mailed them the Friday before the due date. I know it will take a while for Cinnimini to get her cause she is in Canada and I mailed them on the 15th.

Cinnimini 05/23/2007 #

hehe. Nope I got them already Eon's Momma. Its funny how sometimes its so slow and other times super fast! They were lovely so thank you

Cinnimini 05/27/2007 #

I'm still hoping that mine got to their destinations ok. I haven't heard anything, so I'm hoping no news is good news..

~crosses fingers~

joanandemma 05/27/2007 #

LvPoohBr2 - paper.printcess shows as "not sent". I am her second receiving partner and have not heard from her. I have emailed her.

I will send cards to make up for the no send. I agree, it is frustrating and I try very hard to drop potential flakes from my swaps but now and then one slips in.

I'll put the cards in the mail by end of week at the latest.

:) Joan

joanandemma 05/27/2007 #

LvPoohBr2 - I have put up a pic of the cards I'm sending. "Adorned", "Tine Flies" and "Sun".

:) Joan

joanandemma 05/30/2007 #
