CRS Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It's time for another round of the Hybrid ATC Swap! The theme for this round is "Love is in the Air"! I'm excited to see your interpretations on this one! If you are interested in joining us, here are some things to know: The best way to do this seems to be to buy the 9 slot baseball trading card holders. They are designed to fit into a standard 3 ring binder. You can fold the sheets in thirds and fit them into a business sized envelope. Please include return postage in one of the slots, allowing for an extra ounce in case participants are especially exuberant with their bling. If it's not needed, I will return it with your goodies. Also please include a self-addressed envelope. We've found that the larger 6x9 envelopes work better than business sized envelopes but the postage rate is the same. When you mail the envelope to me, the post office people will tell you if there's a non-machinable surcharge. A great hint is to use your own address as the return address in case it gets "returned" for any reason. Sign up in this thread by Thursday, January 7th. On Friday, January 8th, I'll PM everyone and let you know how many to make and my addresses. Please have them to me by February 1st! If I get them all sooner, I'll return them to you sooner. Who's in?? Carla Brooke Lauren Kelly Monica Jack Andrea-rose Lei Ann Laura Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnBK Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Did you all hear that loud "whap"? That was inspiration hitting me on the head! Unfortunately (yeah, right) I will need to make a trip to Hobby Lobby or Michaels (or both). Don't you just hate when that happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 I have my fronts mostly done. Need to work on the back now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nica Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sigh...DH was out of town on Saturday, so I thought it would be a perfect time for Jack and I to work on ours. Wrong! Here's hoping we can find a bit of time after school this week. He has lots of great ideas (lucky kid). Now if only I could think of something...

ladyscrapalot Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Okay, I'm at Hobby Lobby and I'm going in! If I'm not out in 2 hours send in a search and rescue team. Tell them to bring me a snack. I may be awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 I could spend hours and hours in the craft stores! Yesterday I went to Jo-Ann's, Michael's and Hobby Lobby! But I only bought one thing at each store using a coupon. I didn't intend to do all that, but none of the stores had everything I needed. And 2 of the 3 things I bought were for Lauren's history exhibit project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnBK Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I know this has never happened to any of you. I trudged over to Michaels with coupon in hand and a list of what I needed for my project. Being the disciplined person I am, I walked out with only those items. Well, maybe one extra thing. When I got home and started on the cards, my creative soul took over and sent me in an entirely different direction. Now I don't need any of the things I bought, except the one thing that wasn't on my list in the first place. Production well under way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can relate to both of you....I'm still thinking and searching for a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wwwwweeeellllll On my way home from Hobby Lobby, I was like I should do it this other way!!! So since I'm off tomorrow I will have to work on it and see which way I want to go with them. D'oh!

AnnBK Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 All printed, cut and punched....ready to break out the glue and bling. They're almost like what I had planned in the first place. Well, they're 2.5 X 3.5.....that's pretty close, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bride Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Mine are all printed too. A little glitzing and a little spraying and almost ready to assemble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nica Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 We got our bling. Now to design the digital and assemble. Gonna try really hard to get it mostly done this weekend. Wish us luck! BTW, did you notice the "Like This" button on the right side of everyone's posts? I tried to "like" Ann's post, but it kept giving me an error. Gonna be cool when that gets up a running.

ladyscrapalot Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Y'all need to send me your inspiration vibes...... I'm just not feeling it. I guess it's back to the drawing board or in this case Hobby Lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 There should be a little light blue box next to the Like box that says who has liked that post. I see quite a few this afternoon! Hobby Lobby is a great place of inspiration! It's also a dangerous place for my wallet, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby Lobby is a great place of inspiration! It's also a dangerous place for my wallet, lol! Maybe that's why they're closed on Sunday...to give our wallets a rest! My cards are almost done, but I'm not rushing to finish since the post office is closed Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm finishing up my cards today. They are still missing a little something...not sure what but hopefully it will come to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
