The New Year New Member Swap - Due March 7, 2024

[jezebelle]

PSA

The first cards are on their way to me now. As I am meeting most of you for the first time, I want to advise you all not to worry too much if you feel that your cards are taking longer to get to me than you expect. I live in a very small (maybe 500 folks?) and rural community. The USPS doesn’t even offer mail service to my house, so I have to “go to town” to get the mail. I don’t always do that on a daily basis. I will update the thread with each mail call that brings swap cards. In the mean time, do not be overly concerned.

That said, always mail as early as you are able. The mails are slow. My outgoing mail has been taking nearly two weeks to arrive at US destinations.

Nice cards, Elf.

 

[TrinaLD]

Cool. Hmmm, I think I can be a new member working in a different medium. Yep, I think that might work. Please sign me up!

 

[Jill]

Welcome @Mstufflebeam and @Ellf! Thank you for playing.
And welcome @Jill, who just got here yesterday. I haven’t even had a chance to say hello and you’ve already found this swap!

 

[ScissorHands]

hello and nice to meet you @jezebelle. I'm on my second swap, and hooked! would love to join.

 

[Laurab74]

My fist swap ready to be sent! So excited.

 

[OrigamiGrace]

If you have room for more oldbies, I'd be delighted to join! Just let me know - don't want to take up a spot for newbies!

 

[ArtSean329]

My cards will probably be sent out tomorrow as soon as I receive our lovely hostess's address.

I finished my cards tonight and I hope to get them sent out this weekend! I was playing with some new watercolors that I got for Christmas and I absolutely love them!

@TrinaLD that definitely works. Welcome to the swap!
(I have been considering creating some ATCs with a new medium or technique as well.)

Welcome @OrigamiGrace!
I am happy to have a few experienced players in the swap. (and in the thread)

Thank you for the update @Ellf.
And thank you for sharing your art in the thread. Your choice of materials and style really make your ATCs pop.

 

[jezebelle]

Thank you for posting your art in the thread @Jill.
I’m excited to see those ATCs up close.

Looking good @Laurab74, I love your colors and layers. Thank you for sharing.
Is that real Dymo tape, or does it just look like it? I love that stuff. But I always have trouble with it separating/buckling somewhere down the line. What’s your secret?

My cards will probably be sent out tomorrow as soon as I receive our lovely hostess's address.

Thank you for the show and tell.
