PatBowman Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hello ATC swappers! Our next chat will be August 24 at 7PM, and the theme will be "A" is for Apple. My goal here is for us swappers to create ATCs that cover the entire alphabet. We may take more than one month to complete this, but it should be fun. For the first round, take the first letter of your first name and create an ATC with the main thing being the initial. For instance, since my first name starts with "P" I might do "P" is for "Pool", or "P" is for "Popcorn", or "P" is for "Precious". Be creative, but we want the alpha letter to be the most prominent thing on the card. Keep your eye on the ATC Gallery to see what letters have been done in case your name starts with the same letter as someone else. Be sure to participate each month so that you will have the complete alpha when we are done. Let's have some fun! ***EDITED TO ADD*** OK, looks like this one is going to be popular. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to keep track of what letters are taken, so I'm going to need your help with this - especially since I'm leaving Friday for vacation and will not be able to monitor the MB a lot. I guess, just keep track of what letters you see have been declared. If your letter has been used, no problem - just pick another one! The way things are going we might get the whole alpha done in one month! Also, for swap instructions refer to this thread: http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=22622 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I've got to go and figure out how to do this ATC thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
