Sherry Lynn Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I love receiving snail mail AND creating Hybrid ATC's --- here is a Scrap Girls Hybrid ATC swap with a twist, here's how it will work: How Many: Make 9 ATC's, keep one for yourself, mail in 8 and you'll receive 8 back. Sign Up: If you want to join the swap, please sign up below. I'll send you a private message with my mailing address. The first 8 people who respond in this thread are in the swap. I'll be the 9th person. If we have 17 people sign-up we will split into 2 groups BUT you will still only have to create 9 cards! Mailing: Please include a self addressed return envelope (legal size) to hold your ATC's for the return trip and loose US postage stamps in the amount you used to mail it to me plus a couple of extra in case some are heavier for the return trip. You only have to mail ONE envelope --- woohoo! I'll send back any unused postage. Mailing Tips: I've found information on the very best way to mail ATC's in this swap format: buy baseball trading card page holders. These are 8 1/2" x 11" pages with 9 pockets in them. If you put your 8 ATC's in the pockets and your loose postage in the last pocket they will travel well. Then, you can fold up the page in thirds and it fits in a legal sized envelope. This saves on postage costs and they arrive safe and sound. Be sure to tape the envelope closed, so it doesn't come open. Always include your return address just in case. When your swap comes back to you, add your ATC to the remaining holder and now you have a sheet of ATC's to add to your ATC binder or start a new ATC binder. The theme for this swap is MAY DAY! The May Day tradition is to create a May Basket. These baskets are small and usually filled with flowers or treats and left at someone's doorstep. The basket giver would ring the bell and run away. The person receiving the basket would try to catch the fleeing giver. If they caught the person, a kiss was to be exchanged. Once our swap is full --- I will let you know how much time you have to create AND mail your ATC! We are looking around the 20th of May Come join in the FUN!

goosie Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 This sounds like something I'd like to try. Count me in if you get enough participants! I am on vacation in Florida right now, but I'll be home soon and would like to get crafty. I'm having scrapbooking withdrawal. I saw a cute sign that applies to me right now: "Help! I'm addicted to scrapbooking! I need a 12X12 program!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnBK Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Just to clarify my confusion....are we going to be mailing these in MAY? It's just April 1 tomorrow, that seems a long time to get this done. I'm game either way, just want to know when I need to send my card off to the printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are NOT confused Ann --- you will be mailing them the first week in MAY and our chat will be around May 20th. I thought we would do this swap every other month. That gives plenty of time for sign-ups, creating AND mailing! But, thanks for asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnBK Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well, that all makes sense. I'll be mailing mine before we leave the last week in April, and I'll be back in time for the chat. WOO-HOO...creating right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
