Art Going for the upcoming
Holiday 
and to 
Celebrate
Hidden Vintage Studio's 
New Kit

So this time round
the ATC Swap Theme is
Halloween!
Although if you'd like to 
use any of 
Hidden Vintage Studio's
Kits in making your ATC's
that would be Great too!!!

In this ATC Swap
you'll be making
3   ATC's
2 ATC's will be Traded with
2 other ATC Artists in the Swap.
And 1 ATC will be Traded with me!

Next
I will start a Photo Album

To Enter in the ATC Swap
and Gift Certificate Drawing
Please send a 
$5.00 PayPal 'Gift' Invoice
for Return Postage and Handling
to
Birdnuts Mixed Media
Email  GIMPY@telus.net

I will be limiting to only
20 ATC Artists in this months
ATC Swap
so if you aren't able to participate
after Entering please let me know
asap so I may let another Artist
participate.
I will gladly refund your 
Return Postage and Handling 
within the first 2 weeks of the Swap
but after that there will not be
a refund.
( I have found some to want a refund after finding
out they were not the Winner for the Drawing
so this seems to be the best way to stop that issue).

Because I am up in Canada, and
many of you are Global
you need at least 2 weeks from the
time you mail your 3 sets of
Halloween ATC's to me to get them
to me in time for the Deadline...
All Entries no matter where you are
mailing from should be in the Post
by no later than 
September 2nd, 2013

And if possible please
try to make your ATC's
as easy to put into a Standard
Sized Envelope to save on
mailing costs, anything oversized
will cost twice as much in returning.
(Thanks to the Canadian Postal Service!)
Much appreciated.

So there you go!
So get your Entries in
while there's room with
only 20 Artists Playing!
And go forth and get those
Halloween ATC's Made!!!

And
Big Thanks to 
Hidden Vintage Studio!
at
Deviant Scrap.com!!!
