CRS Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 The theme for the Spring Hybrid ATC Swap is: April Showers Brings May Flowers! I'm not going to give any suggestions or examples this time....you are free to go in any creative direction you want (as always, lol)! 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 Monday, April 25th. On April 26th, I'll PM everyone and let you know how many to make and my address. Please have them to me by June 1st! If I get them all sooner, I'll return them to you sooner. May and June are usually pretty busy in my house, but this year will be even more so with the move in July, so please don't wait until the last minute to send them!! Who's in??

Ngaire Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Oh I really have enjoyed my times when I have done these but unfortunately it just gets too expensive for me with the postage but I hope that we get to see what you all do. There is some beautiful work that gets done with these little cards. Have fun everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRS Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 We miss having your cards, Ngaire! But I completely understand! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
butterflykisses Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Count me in Carla. I can make it work by June 1st. YEAH!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bride Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I just want to put in a little friendly pitch in here .... I think most of you know that Carla is moving sometime this summer so we all need to be very committed to the deadlines set for the swap so there is not added stress on Carla and that there is not potential for ATCs getting lost in the forwarded mail by extending beyond the deadline date. We so appreciate Carla doing this for us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ladyscrapalot Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I got my plan. Unfortunately, the Hobby Lobby closest to me didn't have enough of what I needed. That means tomorrow I have to go to another Hobby Lobby, a bigger one. Oh darn. The sacrifices we have to make for our art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRS Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Keep in mind I don't have a final count yet, Kelly! So don't go to wild buying supplies (but have fun!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ladyscrapalot Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Lol! I know. If the other store doesn't have any of what I picked out, I'll have to come up with something else. The first store only had enough to make 6. If I buy too many I can return them. I just thought it was so cute!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRS Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I hope the other store has enough because I'm dying to see what it is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ladyscrapalot Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 The other Hobby Lobby had some more. It will just depend on the final count to know if I have to go yet another Hobby Lobby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
countrydi Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Is there still room for me yet? I'd love to do one! If so, count me in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AnnBK Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm underway. My goal is to use what I have on hand, because heaven knows I have a lot on hand! I've been inspired by a lot of April showers this week, some including hail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRS Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Glad to see everyone getting excited! I'll have the final count to you on Tuesday, along with my address. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnnBK Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I am toying with the idea of trying to do something WAY, WAY, WAY out of my comfort zone. I'll let you know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ladyscrapalot Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I am toying with the idea of trying to do something WAY, WAY, WAY out of my comfort zone. I'll let you know. oooOOOoooo Inquiring minds want to know!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRS Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'm excited to see what you all have in mind! Brooke has her idea set, I haven't asked Lauren about hers yet, and I'm still thinking about mine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRS Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I've PM'd everyone, so if you didn't hear from me, let me know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LauraYB Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I am toying with the idea of trying to do something WAY, WAY, WAY out of my comfort zone. I'll let you know. Lol -- aren't you brave. I also was inspired by a fun idea--now to get it to work the way I want it! Might have to recruit help from my mom, the Expert!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRS Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I have mine designed and starting the printing process! I like how they are turning out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bride Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Mine are done. Tom was gone all day yesterday so I was able to crank them out. It is funny ... they didn't turn out at all how I started out ... they sort of evolved into something different. They will be in tomorrow's mail, Carla! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRS Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Brooke finished hers yesterday, too. Dh and Lauren were gone all day for softball, so she did her cards. There is no school on Friday, so Lauren will do hers then. Mine are almost finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
butterflykisses Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Mine are printing. I have no idea what I'm doing wit them next....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
