I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm definitely a tag/ATC person, and we haven't done one of these for ages either.

HERE IS THE SWAP LIST FOR THIS ONE. If you are on this list and should not be, or are not and should be please PM Swaps Albums asap. Participants, please wait until Friday, 10/7 to consider this list final, then contact your swap partner for mailing information.

1.SamB
2.Dizzy
3.Jen0925
4.Fabyon
5.Penny

I'm also a HUGE Halloween fanatic so this swap is to sign up to send TWO ANYTHING BUT A CARD in a Halloween theme - the spookier the better!!!

So this can be TWO of anything but cards: an ATC, a tag, a bookmark, a mini-book, an inchie, a twinchie, you name it!!

To refresh your memory(ies):
An ATC is an artist trading card (or ATC for short); it is a tiny, original piece of art created with the intention of swapping or trading it with another artist, not selling it. The one rule an artist trading card must adhere to is the size. An ATC must be 2.5x3.5 inches or 64x89 mm.
If you are interested, please send a PM to SWAPS ALBUMS and put Halloween ABC SWAP in the subject line please!

SIGN-UPS FOR THIS SWAP WILL CLOSE SEPTEMBER 30 AND YOU HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER 31 TO SEND YOUR PROJECTS TO YOUR PARTNER!

I was just thinking the same Sam! Sign me up for this one! Now I will have to do some shopping for PW Halloween Papers. I'm still surprised out of everything in my stash I don't have any of those...at least that I could find. :D

Sam asked me to post pictures of what I sent her - so here they are.

This is a mini album that I made from a piece of packing material which I painted. I can't take credit for the idea, I saw Heidi Swapp demo it here (http://www.mycraftchannel.com/Shows/Create-to-Remember/?omedia_id=174).

These are the outside shots and a couple of the interior pages.

The second thing I sent her was an ATC. I needed a 2nd post because we can only do 5 pictures.

I used goosebumps spray on the base - I really like that stuff!:D

Sam, I hope you liked them!

I'm so sorry Penny, these two are going airmail first thing tomorrow morning, I was in a 'manana por la manana' phase and nearly forgot about the swap :(

Anyhoo they're done enveloped I'm off to double check the address you sent me and we'll prepare the stamp online with our dear 'royal mail' :D

They're not cards but two library envelope pocket thingies from the library template :p

pennyd

Fab, don't worry about airmailing - send it the cheapest way. They are adorable! I'll save them for next year for my grandsons!

Thank you!

Hey Fab:

Sorry for the bad news, but I need a few more days to get yours out to you. This month flew by and I bit off more than I could chew in the way of different projects. I know what I want to make for you, I just couldn't find the time to sit and make them. I'll have your project mailed by the end of the week.

Promise!!! :)

Jen, your items are ready I just need to get to the post office. I tried to have them ready yesterday when I mailed my stuff to Sam, but I wasn't quite happy with what I did so I had to make something else.

No Problem Kim. :) I have those days too. I can't wait to see what you created.

Thanks!

I received my swap items from Dizzy this weekend. They turned out great! Thank you so much. You did a wonderful job Dizzy. Thank you for the little extras too. I really like the puzzle card you sent. I'll have to put my thinking cap on for that one. :)

I'm glad you liked it Fab! I have had a few of those Sara Surface Pockets in my stash and just hadn't found a way to use them. I thought putting some ATC's in one of those and decorating it would be perfect.

OMG you just reminded me I bought a few of those pockets etc when they were still being sold on QVC ! :eek: I haven't used them yet, what am I like ? :D

Fab, I think you need to re-read your own article on hoarding! LOL :p
