So what can I say. Tomorrow is the Deadline to receive your Triptych ATC's and over 1/2 of them have not arrived yet. Nothing in the post yesterday or today. I think to be fair to all of the participants in the swap, I'm extending the Deadline to receive by Thursday August 1st, with the Drawing for the $25 Gift Certificate from Nancy Baumiller at Crowabout StudioB at DeviantScrap.com to be done on Friday August 2nd. I am sure most of you have already mailed them out, as our Postal Service up here is terrible at times, but for any of you that have not, please private message me so we can arrange to get them here! Sorry for the delay, but I want everyone to have a chance to participate!! Cheers!
Who's ready for
an ATC Swap
and Prize Drawing?
That's right!
As some of you know, and if
you scroll through last years
blog posts, you'll see that almost
every month last year
Birdnuts Mixed Media
Hosted and Co-Hosted
ATC Swaps!
Unfortunately I had a health
issue come up at Christmas
that brought it all to a stand still,
but after a few months recovery
I'm ready to dip my toe back into
mondo ATC making! HA!!!
But first, Guess Who's my
Fabulous Co-Hostess
this
time round?
Woo Hoo!!!
The Lovely
Ms. Nancy Baumiller
of
at
Last year Nancy Co-Hosted
such a Fun and Wacky
ATC Swap with me here
on
Birdnuts Mixed Media,
and I was so pleased she
was into doing it again!
I love the Graphics from
Graphics Kits
and Nancy's Art!!
So I practiced a little...
Here's a Journal Page I made
using Crowabout StudioB's
Wonderful Graphics!
And an ATC
Do go and Check Out
Crowabout StudioB's
Shop at
Because if you use
Crowabout StudioB Graphics
with your ATC's in this Swap
then you'll get a
Double Entry Chance
at Winning!!!
That's Right!
Nancy Baumiller has very kindly
Donated a
$25 Gift Certificate to
Crowabout StudioB
for a Prize Drawing at the
End of Our ATC Swap!!!
Thank You Nancy!!
So let's get to it!!!
I learned a ton last year
doing all the ATC Swaps,
and had a blast!
This year we're going to do it
a little differently!
First off, the Theme....
Triptych Altered
Playing Card ATC's
That's right!!!
3 ATC's to make 1 Picture!
It isn't as easy as it looks! LOL!
I started out making my own
backgrounds on Playing Cards!
Then using Crowabout StudioB's
Graphics
I came up with a few Ideas :)
So that's the Theme for you
to be making
Tryiptych Altered Playing
Card ATC's
(and don't forget, if you use
Crowabout StudioB Graphics
that will count as
2 Entries
in the
Drawing at the Deadline!!)
Now, you need to make
2 sets.
( They can either be the same
or individually different
your choice :)
Reason?
1 set will go into the Swap
to be Traded with
Another Swap Artist's
ATC Set!
The other set will be Traded
directly with me!
That's right! I'm making
a set for each of you as well!
So make sure you put your
name and info on the back
of all 3 of your Triptych
Altered Playing Card ATC's!
Next....
I am also making by hand
the Return Envelope Mail Art!
( oh man, what am I getting myself
into.....grin)
The entire Envelope is handmade...
Next......
I will be starting a Photo Album
on Facebook on my
personal page Denise Phillips
to Highlight your ATC Entries as
they are received!
And after the Deadline for the
Triptych Altered Playing Card
ATC Swap
I'll be doing a Blog Post here
on
Birdnuts Mixed Media
Highlighting all of Your Entries
and can pass on any info you'd
like to supply me for
Your Blogs and Websites!
( I will photograph the sets
as they arrive to post to the
Facebook page
and here on the Blog:)
Next....
To be Entered in This Swap
I will need to ask you to please
go to PayPal
and send a Gift Invoice Paid
of $5 for
Return Postage and Handling
to
Birdnuts Mixed Media
Email: GIMPY@telus.net
or you can send cash
but I would think that is risky
going through Canadian Customs
etc, so I thought this might be easier.
(I'm sorry this year to have to charge for the
return postage, but last year's totals out of pocket
for the year was over $1,000. just can't afford that
this year!)
I believe that the Gift Invoice will show my
mailing address, if it doesn't for any reason,
then when I get the copy of the paid invoice
I will send you a confirmation Email (make
sure your email is included and your mailing address!!)
to confirm and make sure you have my mailing address.
I will be limiting only 20 Artist's
Entries in this Swap (2 sets per Entry)
to insure I've made enough ATC's and Envelopes for Return.
Any overages will be credited back
to you immediately.
The Deadline
for all Entries
is
Thursday, July 25th, 2013
And the
Winner of the
$25 Gift Certificate
from
Crowabout StudioB
will be
on
Friday, July 26th, 2013!!
All the Triptych Altered Playing
Card ATC's will be mailed out
on Saturday, July 27th, 2013
First Class Air Mail
so keep in mind coming from Canada
it can take from 10 days to 2 weeks for
Delivery.
So there ya go!
I'm so excited to
be Hosting Another
ATC Swap!
(been too long!!!)
Hope You'll All
Join In!!!!
Email me if you have any questions!
And Thanks Again
Nancy Baumiller of
Enjoy!!!
