Your ATC cards have to be in the mail and post marked NO later than Thursday September 30th so I can have them all packaged up and ready to go before the 2nd week of October.

Since Fall is my favorite season, the theme for this ATC swap is Fall. The dimensions for the ATC card are 2.5" x 3.5" you can make your card out of card stock, thin chipboard, recycled materials, or even but precut ATC cards.


Here is are some questions you can base your creation around:


"When you think of Fall what comes to mind? What is your favorite part of Fall?"




Now what to include:


1. Decorate it you can stamp-it-up, glimmer mist it, cover it, do what your heart desires.
2. Add embellishments, ribbon, lace, anything you think that will bring your creativity to life.
3. You can add charms, fibers, personalize it per member, what ever your wish to do.
4. You do not have to complete the back but I do ask that you include the following in the back of the ATC:


--Your info (i.e.: your name, YT channel address, blog address (opt), email address (opt).) 
--This saying. Fall is... (and you fill in the banks, with what you think of when you think of Fall.)




FAQ's:


How many ATC's do you have to make you ask?
-Once the sign ups are closed I will email you and let you know how many have signed up.


Do I have to make every single one the same?
-No, this is your canvas you can personalize each one, change things here and there, whatever is easier for you. Use your imagination.


Are there any certain colors we should use?
-I would like to see any colors that represent Fall. It can be Halloween colors, Fall colors, anything you feel that is Fall related.


How do I send this to you?
-After you complete your ATC cards send me an email to lydisanc86@yahoo.com and let me know that you are ready to send them out to me and I will give you my address.


What do I include in my package?
-In your package please include all the ATC's, a Self addressed envelope that is big enough for you to receive your ATC's, and the email address to your PayPal account so I can send you an invoice for the postage. Once it has cleared I will send the package to you.
