whoo hoo! Got the cards and they are amazing! So many great ideas and takes on the hardware theme too. I did a video but don't peek if you want the cards to be a complete surprise.

ATC Swap Video

LOVE the video, Angela! It's so much fun to see all the cards on screen.

[butterflykisses]

Thanks so much for doing the video Angela. The ATCs are still on my kitchen island. They are wonderful and every time I look at them I notice another cool detail.

Fabulous job on the video, Angela! I just love seeing the cards on video!

Start thinking about the next theme. Once a majority of the cards reach their destination, I'll post a new thread. The first theme that came to my mind was Summertime, but I know it's been done before.

[AnnBK]

What's the time frame for the next round? We will be traveling from May 25 to June 15. I will have Internet access on a limited basis...but no access to my treasure trove of glitter. I'll have to think about suggestions for a theme. I REALLY want to participate in this swap!

[butterflykisses]

Ann me too. Gone 29 May -14 June. Internet is unpredictable and limited traditional supplies. No strong ideas either for theme.

[AnnBK]

How about "Celebrate". June is a month of celebrations, graduations and the traditional month for weddings. It's a pretty broad topic so you can take it in many directions. And I could use a lot of glitter.

[MariJ]

Hmmm.... I think there were a lot of ideas leftover last month also?
Sigh... Hopefully my cards are in NJ. Off to watch the video before I get there, thanks Angela!

[butterflykisses]

Lol Ann. Carla Pls advise when to upload ATCs. Marilyn the video will make you want to get yours .

[CRS]

I'll let you know when the majority of you have the cards. Eden is in Australia, so hers will be last to get there. Hopefully she won't mind if we post a little early.

Let's see, time frame for next round....what if we had them due mid-July? I'll be on vacation so I won't be home to check the mail in early July or late June, but you all could still send them (still need to decide when we are going back to visit NY). I'll make sure Karen and Ann are included in the group even if you can't sign up in the thread.

[butterflykisses]

Thanks Carla. That works perfect for me. We are home on 15 June and leave again on 12 July.

[CRS]

That's what we'll do then. I'll start a new post around the first of June. I'll put Karen and Ann on the list. Keep thinking of ideas for themes! Here are some from last month:

New life or new beginnings
Months (like you can scrap January, Feb, etc)
Growth, growing, etc
Happiness (can be widely interpreted)
Places, countries, etc
Vintage
Color (again widely interpreted)
Animals
New Technique (try a new technique - digital or hybrid)
Weather
"Quotable" (use a quote on your card)
Black & white (or black & white with one splash of color)
Pets
Fantasy and Fairy Tales
something "found", a re-used, up-cycled piece

Cool! When the new post goes up, I'll add the link to the YouTube video and see if someone from there might want to join in.

[AnnBK]

Thanks, Carla. That time line should work for me, I'll just have to get right on it when I get home. All that time to think and plan!

[Sherry Lynn]

I got my ATC's on Thursday --- they are all amazing AND Angela thank you so much for the video!

[MariJ]

Well.. I am sitting in the Indianapolis Airport already delayed 2 hours but hopefully my ATC's will greet me when I arrive.

[Bride]

Oh I think I forgot to mention I got my cards last Wednesday ... or maybe Thursday? Can't remember, but I have them and I love them all!! So wonderful to have such talented friends!!

[CRS]

I think it's ok to start posting them in the gallery if you would like. I think Eden may be the only one left....I have to remember to take a photo of mine!

[MariJ]

Mine came! They were here waiting for me when I got home last night. And they are wonderful - thank you everyone.

[Bride]

Don't forget to upload a photo of your card to the Hybrid ATC Gallery and give a brief explanation of one or more of the techniques you used! Here's mine: Gearing Up for Spring

It's on my to do list! I think I might get to it tonight! I look forward to information on how you all made yours!!!

[SodScrap]

AND, I still have to watch the video! It's been a very crazy (overwhelming) week and a half here. I haven't had time to think!! Things are calm right now though!

[butterflykisses]

Can't wait to see them all posted. I will go and add my information . I just posted it.
