Hello Ladies!

I have been asked to assist by hosting some swaps- and I am thrilled to do so!

I could not think of a better theme than BIRDS for my very first swap in this group! So without further ado... the first part of the swap is for you to create one ATC (standard size) for one partner. (the photo is of one that I have created) You can apply any techniques that you would like- painting, drawing, stamping, etc. Just one rule...create something that is SOOOO special that you will want to keep it for your own collection.

OK...now for the second part. In keeping with the one stamp rule, and the ATC theme- you are going to decorate the outside of your envelope with your own 'art.' You can choose to manifest this in ANY fashion that makes you happy! (stickers, stamps, paint, drawing, collage, etc) Just make sure it won't get tangled in the USPS machines. lol If you are wondering how this keeps with the 'theme'- did you know that ATC's developed out of the mail art movement?

ONE PARTNER ONE ATC INSIDE ONE DECORATED ENVELOPE

I just returned from the Craft Warehouse with more little $1 bird stamps so I can work on the mail art part. I also hope to see others join in the fun.

ohhhhhhh! I just love those little dollar stamps! If anyone who is watching is worried about not having the supplies, remember you can draw...paint, doodle, use magazines, scraps, whatever you want!

Oh I just thought about something. You don't have to have birds on the envelope. It can be decorated in way you want.

Yeah! Another swapper. Come on watchers; join in the fun!
