June ATC swap - summer theme

[stampin stacy]

I had asked on another thread if anyone had suggestions for June's theme and Inky Whiskers came up with this one and I think its perfect for this month so our theme this time around will be: What's your favorite thing to do in the summer! BTW, there are lots of things you could do for this one besides the beach, stretch yourself and be creative!!

Sign ups close on 6/12 and are due to me on or before 6/25.

So who wants to play! I will determine the final number of ATC's needed per person after sign ups are closed but it will be between 5 - 7. Let me know if you are doing 2 sets as this will affect the numbers.

To all you lurkers out there, come on and sign up to play, what have you got to lose but an opportunity to have lots of fun with fellow stampers. This is a fairly open theme which makes it great for first timers.

[Carole]

I'll play - one set.

Carole :noway:

[Inky Whiskers]

One set for me too! :D

[alsmouse]

I"m in for 1 set. ~C8>

[piecesandpom]

I should be able to do one set, as therapy after the next couple of weeks!

[mariarepsher]

Count me in for 1 set.
Maria

[stampin stacy]

That's 5 swappers so far, the rest of you know you want to have fun so what are ya waiting for?

[childsp]

You twisted my arm, I'm in for one set :)

[stampin stacy]

:lol: I know ain't I just the meanest thing ever to twist your arm that way... :noway:

[alsmouse]

I learned early in the game, just how painful that Stacy's arm twisting can be. Why do you think I just automaticaly sign up. OW, OW, OW, Stacy, stop it! :)) :)) ~C8>

[childsp]

Got to be careful, can't be hurting the stamping arm!

[Audreyrose]

Go ahead put me down for one set! Man my arm hurts, thank goodness I am right handed :)) (you may see some of the little glitz, see if I can put it in with the theme)
Audrey

[Audreyrose]

Hopefully I can get them done and in the mail in time for them to arrive in the states by the 25th

[stampin stacy]

Yeee haawww, Audreys playing this time, miss ya last month ;) .

[Audreyrose]

Stacy you are a hoot and I just love to play because of YOU!!

[stampin stacy]

Gosh Audrey, :blush: :D

BTW, all of you lefties like me might wanna pm me so I don't twist your stamping arm :)) .

[Inky Whiskers]

Twist any arm you like, I'll just stamp with my toes. :D

[Marie]

:)) Good one Inky!! I may try that.

[Inky Whiskers]

Thanks!

I figure if I can grip the stamp between my lil piggies I'll be all set to go. Granted, my precision placement will be shot & forget cutting things out with scissors, but I'll be able to stamp! :D

So :p , Stacy! Hit me with your best WWF move. I'm ready for you!!! :noway:

[stampin stacy]

:))

now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all night :rolleyes:

[Inky Whiskers]

What song? :confused: I don't hear any music. :D

[stampin stacy]

We have 8 participants so far, any one else??? You wouldn't want to miss out on the the fun now would ya ;) . Just think of all the way you could go with this one; zoo, museums, outdoor concert, picnic, vacation, ... , even the 4th of July is a summer activity.

Just a reminder the theme is: Whats your favorite thing to do in the summer and they are due to me before June 25th.

[Audreyrose]

Inky,
I think the song is "Hit Me with your Best Shot" But I could be wrong:))

[Spideycindy]

Ok Stacy may I sign up as well? I went in search of a stamp that would represent what I love about summer and found one so I would love to play if there is still room and how many are we to make?
Spideycindy

[stampin stacy]

:applause: Yea Cindy, now we have 9!!

Hit Me with your Best Shot thats the one, uh am I showing my age?? :shock:

[Spideycindy]

:applause: Yea Cindy, now we have 9!!

thats the one, uh am I showing my age?? :shock:

Awh do I sense a future ATC swap using a musical song as the theme? rotflol:))
Spidey
PS just one set for me, I forgot to mention that...

[monkeykeeper]

I'd like to participate! I'm fairly new to ATC's and I just joined this forum today - so I may have lots of questions.
Thanks!

[stampin stacy]

Welcome to RSC and our ATC swap. We are glad your one of us now and feel free to ask all the questions you like, we'd be glad to help. :wave:

[coolcamaro]

Hi there. I'm new to the site and this my first post. I've been looking for a place to trade ATCs and it looks like I found. Can I still join? If so, I may need some direction since this is my very first chat group.

[Spideycindy]

:clap: Woo Hoo! Welcome!!! It's fun and everyone here will help just ask away any time!:wave:
Spideycindy

[alsmouse]

OOOHHH, that sounds like a yes on you joining our swap. Can't wait to see your ATCs. ~C8>

[coolcamaro]

Cool. So what exactly do I do? This is my first swap. I know the theme is summer. Do I make all cards the same or just whatever number I need within the theme, so they could be different?

[coolcamaro]

Oh, I like the idea of a musical song theme. That could be fun.

[Inky Whiskers]

For ATC's we usually do them all the same for single swap sets, but we've been known to do 2 sets for one swap so we can use more ideas & get more ideas back.

Stampin'Stacy is the lead on this swap & we send the ATCs to her, she divides them up & sends them back in the SASE we send with our ATCs. I don't think we have an 'official' number to make yet.

Stacy? We're waiting!!! :eyeroll:

[Inky Whiskers]

Oh, I like the idea of a musical song theme. That could be fun.

OMG!!! How would I ever decide which Elvis stamps to use?!? :shock:

[alsmouse]

Do they make a 'Tucker' Elvis?????:)) :)) :))

[Spideycindy]

Hey Stacy better put this idea on your list as well...rotflol...
Spideycindy

[stampin stacy]

Hey Stacy better put this idea on your list as well
:cool:No problem, consider it added.

ATC's are a 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches in size and you make them all the same according to a theme which this month is, "Favorite thing to do in the Summer". You then send them to me, I will redivide them and send back the same number you send me but from other participants in the swap. I will let everyone know how many to send when I close the swap and pm my address to you. Don't forget to make an extra for yourself and always, always always autograph your artwork, yep each and every little ATC.

The back of your ATC should have:
the title you have given it
your printed Name
the date
and be numbered, example if you make 5 then 1 -5: 2-5: 3-5 etc
this mean card one of five made, card 2 of five made and so on.

last chance to sign up for this one because it is
going, going............

[coolcamaro]

Great. Then I'm in. I've made ATCs before but never swapped with anyone. This sounds cool. I started mine last night. Just got some cool new summer stamps over the weekend at the show and I was itching to use them.

[stampin stacy]

Going, going, gone!

This swap is now closed and we are not taking anymore participants. If you missed out be sure to check back often for another swap opportunity. We would love to have you join us next time.

ATC's are due to me before 6/25. Please contact me well in advance if you are unable to meet the 6/25 deadline.
We have 10 players this month by my count all doing only one set and they are:

1 Carole
2 Inky Whiskers
3 Alsmouse
4 Pieces&Pom
5 Mariarepsher
6 Childsp
7 Audreyrose
8 Monkeykeeper
9 Coolcamero
10 Stampin Stacy

Please make 6 ATC's and send me 5 (sixth one is yours-no need to mail it out). If any of the regular players need my addy let me know, I will pm our 2 newest friends with my address before deadline time. To our 2 newest players, first and foremost welcome :wave: . We hope you have lots of fun and will continue to participate in our swaps. I highly suggest that you join in some of the discussions here at RSC so you can upload to the gallery and to enable your private mail (PM) abilities in case you need to contact me. The post requirements were added as a protection to keep spammers out and besides we love to chat about stamping among other things so talk to us. Just don't be surprised if we get a little silly and start having too much fun ;) though. :laugh:

Send you ATC's to me along with a self addressed, self stamped envelope for me to send ATC's back to you in. When in doubt about the postage on the return envelope, I recommend putting extra since you never know what kind of ATC marvels you are going to get back.

Remember they are due here before 6/25!! Please note that failure to meet swap dates jeopardizes your ability to participate other swaps. This is a site wide rule set forth by our owner/admin to protect those that play in our swaps. While I understand emergencies occur pm me in those occasions, we need to keep our swaps on time to be fair to all the other participants.

Happy stamping everybody, can't wait to see what your fav thing to do in the summer is.

[Spideycindy]

Hello....didn't you forget me? I thought I signed up if not I will catch the next one!:))
Spidey

[alsmouse]

Hello....didn't you forget me? I thought I signed up if not I will catch the next one!:))
Spidey

Stacy must have been really excited since I see you signed up on 060908. Hey Stacy, More Coffee! :laugh: ~C8>

[piecesandpom]

I can tell I've missed a bunch of chatting on the threads with musical summer notes, aka ATCs, and who's doing what for which swap and mailing it where?

I don't have stamps that reflect what I like to do best in the summer so I'm going to have to get real creative!

[stampin stacy]

but your real creative is usually incredible so.......

:clap: OH BOY! :clap:

[marstamper]

I want to play, too. Is it too late?

[stampin stacy]

:noway: What is the deal with deadlines, I even waited a day myself before closing. Both Marstamper and Spideycindy would like to join this swap, does anyone have any objections?

I am putting this up for a vote from those that are already signed up to participate as it will affect the number of cards everyone makes from 5 to 6. Please feel free to pm me if you would rather. I will only give this a 24 hour window and if I don't get a majority yes vote then they will have to wait for July's swap.

[monkeykeeper]

I can make one more card - I'm still finalizing my design! So my vote is Yes.

[coolcamaro]

I have a question that may seem stupid but I'll ask anyway. How come if there are 10 of us we only have to send 5 ATCs? I was expecting to have to make one for everyone in the trade.

Oh, and I vote yes. The more the merrier.

[alsmouse]

I'm in for more. how many total do we need now??~C8>

[Inky Whiskers]

Some folks have time restrictions (work, family etc) and keeping the number of stamped items to make small allows them to play too.

Sometimes we make one for everybody, like the tags, but 5-ish (give or take an ish) is pretty normal. Not that many of us could be called normal by any means. :))

And I vote YES!!! So we're making 7 ATCs now & mailing 6 to get 6 back?

[Spideycindy]

:noway: What is the deal with deadlines, I even waited a day myself before closing. Both Marstamper and Spideycindy would like to join this swap, does anyone have any objections?

Stacy darling...if you look back I DID sign up Before the deadline...wanna use my eyeglasses?:)) We were gently teasing you because you miscounted:laugh
Tell you what tho...I have not even started them so I withdraw my request to participate on this one as time is ticking and one less will be easier for all concerned...I will catch up in the future;)
Spideycindy

[alsmouse]

I'm at the point of being able to add or subtract total ATCs needed for this. Just let me know the grand total soon. I'm still picking colors. :D ~C8>

[stampin stacy]

good grief Cindy so sorry, hard to count and type up a list when you are hitting the cancel button constantly. But we want you to play if you have the time, up to you. I'm even afraid to use spell checker right now, if you still want to play then you are in like Flin (sp?) as they say.

For those that are wondering we try to keep the numbers managable for those that need it but if you want more back then you can sign up to do a double set but I need to know right away.

[Spideycindy]

Stacy, thank you and I truly mean that but perhaps it is for the best I clean up my desk of in "process work" and start salivating for the next round...I know you have some really good ideas lined up for the future...so all you lurkers our there prime your fingers to jump in as soon as possible on the next round of ATC's. Stacy makes them really fun and I guarentee you will be hooked on the swaps. As for me I will not wait so long to jump in next time.:lovie:
Spideycindy

[Audreyrose]

Stacy,
Unfortunately I too wil have to bow out (sorry itis late to tell you:blush: ) My husband has been ill and I am very concerned as to what is goingon with him. We went to Guadalajara yesturday by bus to have an ultra sound done he can home and has been in bed every since. My husband is usuallyoneof these go go go guys so I am very concerned. Hope you understand. I will attempt to get a card done for alsmouse card swap.
Love ya,
Audrey

[stampin stacy]

I understand Audrey, I hope things get better for him. It must be very scary right now and understand all too well about needing to concentrate on him for the time being.

I am going to take Audreyrose off the list and add Marstamper and since I was a goober and accidently left Cindy off to begin with this will keep the number of ATC's the same at 5.

Sorry for the confusion this time around, it is not usually like this I promise! Have fun creating, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Especially those like Karen who are "getting creative" :D

[Inky Whiskers]

So we're making 6 & sending 5 to you to swap with a SASE? Just making sure I have a clue. :D

[stampin stacy]

we're making 6 & sending 5 to you to swap with a SASE
by george she's got it, ummm unless I miscounted again :p

[Inky Whiskers]

Maybe I'll make an extra or two...just in case. :lol:

[coolcamaro]

Mine are done. I made one extra just in case. But if I need one more I can make it, just let me know. I didn't end up using the new stamps I bought at the show last week though since they were pretty much beach related and I know we were supposed to do something other than the beach. Anyway, I mostly like to go to the beach in the winter. It's much more fun to be laying on the beach in the Caribbean when there is snow on the ground here.

[piecesandpom]

I got to the LSS today so I won't have to be as creative as I thought. My concern now is to ensure it's ATC sized and that I can get my thoughts across.

[Inky Whiskers]

You've managed just fine so far, Karen! :D

[Audreyrose]

Just wanted to let you know my hubbie has typhoid! It is veery common to get here in Mexico but he is contageeous. I have been sleeping ont he couch. We also had other testing done to find out other problems heis experiencing. Please keep us in your prayers!
Love ya,
Audrey

[monkeykeeper]

Ugh - I had typhoid as a child. I remember everyone in my house had to get a typhoid vaccine which was quite painful and tender.
I'll be thinking of you and your husband!

[Inky Whiskers]

EGAD! I am SO sorry to hear that your hubby has the crud!!! :(

We'll all be hoping he up & feeling better asap!!! :)

[stampin stacy]

Hope he is recovered and feeling well quickly. Crossing my fingers you do not get it too. take care of yourself and him
I have heard from Maralee via pm and she is taking Audreyrose's place so numbers havent' changed. P S in case anyone was worried Spideycindy and I are still friends after I forgot :o her and have in fact been merrily chatting through pms also.

Has anyone actually started their ATC's or we we all still in think mode.

[alsmouse]

OOHH, AudreyRose, take care. I'm hoping he will recover quickly and you will not get it. Did you get your lady tested too?? At her age that would not be good. And for those who have more questions regarding how you get typhoid, follow this link. It's a real handy one to keep in your favs too. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/typhoidfever_g.htm#how
I'm glad that you & Spidey cleared up any problems caused by computer issues. Sometimes communication is needed to clear any obstacles.
:o I'm almost done with mine. When this theme was announced I thought of the perfect stamp & have been busy coloring away. I'm just needing to do some last little de-tails & the recipe. Another case of the giggles on this one. ~C8>

[Inky Whiskers]

I'm STILL sewing!!!:angry:

I HAVE to have these dresses out the door Monday, Tuesday at the latest & 2 day mailing if it comes down to it.

Once all that goes out the door I will be stampin' til I'm crampin' to get all my swaps done & out the door by the mailing dates. Promise! :o

[coolcamaro]

I'm just needing to do some last little de-tails & the recipe. Another case of the giggles on this one. ~C8>


Do I need to include the recipe with them? I didn't think to ask that previously.

[alsmouse]

Yes, please include the recipe. Otherwise you will be fielding a lot of PM questions as to your ATCs & other art. Someone is always wanting your stamp. :laugh:

[monkeykeeper]

Is a "recipe" just a list of the stamps used, or does it include inks, etc? Do we send 5 copies of that along with the ATCs? Or is it something we write on the back of the ATCs?
Thank you! I will figure this all out eventually!

[Spideycindy]

Audreyrose I am so sorry. Yes be sure to take care of yourself as well. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Hey Stacy is right on about me. I am absent from this swap but certainly not upset or unfriendly towards Stacy or anyone. This community is great and filled with alot of wonderful passionate rubber stampers/artists.
If my tail was kinked it ain't no more!:))
As it turns out I have a large deadline on my tags and still have work to do on them and a wedding this weekend so I need that spare time I to finish up and be prompt.
I have actually been lurking the venders for my next purchases for the future ATC's Stacy may be setting up and by the way, I have no insider information on what she picks so I will pounce on the next one that sings to my muse. ( plug your ears tho cause I can't hold a tune in a bucket!)

Spidey

Thank you! I will figure this all out eventually!

Information is always good. If you used something unique or a technique that is complex sharing is always appreciated. Or in my case I live rather rural and when something new is out knowing what it is or looks like is delightful!
Spidey

[Inky Whiskers]

I always add the supply list when I upload projects made by me to the gallery. That's where most folks will see my projects anyway. :D

[stampin stacy]

I am not requiring all the details on the back of the ATC, they are kinda small but please give as much as you can when you upload to the gallery. You know how we stampers are ;) , we gotta know it all - who, what, how etc:D . That being said if you don't include info on the ATC its self then you just might get a pm or two from inquiring minds.

Do remember to sign the front of your ATC's, artwork should always be signed by its creator.

[Inky Whiskers]

ACK!!! :eek: I hate my signature. :mad:

[stampin stacy]

It doesn't have to literally be a signature but some sort of mark or partial signature that you use consistantly as your identifying mark. I purposely have something different than the signature I would use on checks or legal documents as a safeguard.

[Inky Whiskers]

That'll work. :D

[stampin stacy]

I hate my handwriting too but I'm a lefty and we are known for bad penmanship, hence the C's and D's for it in school. :confusion: oh well

[Inky Whiskers]

That makes 2 of us. :lol: I have a stamp that will work. :D

[alsmouse]

My handwriting stinks!! That's why I either type or stamp my thoughts. I've been asked by doctors if I am a doctor too when I sign something & they see it. I actually think I can write better with my left foot than with either hand. :)) I just 'squeeked' by on the handwriting classes
My "signature" is a mouse foot stamp on my items. ~C8>

[Inky Whiskers]

I use cat paw prints! :))

[coolcamaro]

I think I will use an A stamp. That's what I have used in the past when I made cards, since my name starts with an A.

[piecesandpom]

Audreyrose, glad you got a diagnosis. Hopefully hubby is on the way to recovery soon.

After almost getting through the tag challenge last evening, I went looking on the stamping desk for the new stamp I wanted to use for this ATC. It wasn't there! The other stamp, new ink pad, little embellishment bag, yes. No new stamp. . .I'm getting worried since I know I'll find multiple uses for this stamp. :cry:

Youngest daughter found it under her new adult-sized dresser with appropriate pom teeth marks on the wood. We don't know if pieces pushed it off the desk to start playing, if pom jumped up and grabbed it or just found it on the floor as a pieces leftover or perhaps he felt he needed to put his mark on the new room under the dresser? ? ? I'm pleased to announce that the rubber was NOT touched. I may have to sand down the chewy bits so I can apply appropriate stamping pressure but my ATCs will happen. :clap:

[stampin stacy]

Did you say new room??? inquiring minds want to know.....

lil critters just wanted to make sure you didn't get too involved in swaps that you forgot them. Good thing they didn't damage the rubber, there would have been a show down at sunrise for sure me thinks.:noway:

[Inky Whiskers]

I had a cat that liked to chew on rubber. It would have been quite funny if it hadn't also been very annoying. :lol: I couldn't leave ANY stamps lying about or he'd make off with at least one. I finally gave him a cheap foam stamp to keep & he mostly left my rubber alone. There are however, several stamps that I never found & several others with teeth marks in wood, foam & rubber. He also liked to chew on card board boxes. Can we say oral obsession? :eyeroll:

I'm glad you found your new stamp, Karen!!! Musn't fuss the muse. :D

[alsmouse]

There must be something about the wood on our stamps, I've had 2 rats think the stamp blocks were good chewtoys. I finally got a blank block & left it where they could chew on it & leave my good stuff alone. Occasionally Tucker 'tests' me if I am serious about not playing with the rubber but he doesn't do any damage. (yet!) He has found the magazine holders for all my stamping mags to be quite yummy so they are all now distressed. :)) ~C8>

[Inky Whiskers]

Yeah! That's what all those teeth marks are...free distressing!:))

[piecesandpom]

Well, it's not a new room but some new furniture. It was time for a headboard and a real dresser instead of the dresser that converted to the diaper changing area, you know what I mean? She's 15 after all and she was constantly keeping clean clothes in one laundry basket and dirty in another. The other two in the house thought I was making a lot of fuss and spending money for nothing; not so since she will be able to take anything from her room for college, apartment, etc. It's pretty hard starting out on your own as we all know.

Pom, I'm sure, just wanted to push something under the larger space under the dresser and pieces probably conveniently knocked the stamp down. Yes, they both would have been deemed :evil: if we had not been able to find the stamp. He also enjoys chomping on wood so we have to protect our wood for the woodstove and I have distressed magazines from his puppyhood. He also has a paper fixation so it better be only scraps that fall off the stamping desk or table! And not too many of those in one place or pieces will think she has a shredded paper potty and do her 'business' there instead of the litter box!

The joys of stamping and pets!

[stampin stacy]

Excitement over a new room may also find her wanting to keep it clean too, wouldn't that be wonderful! Guess I'm Lucky our dog couldn't care less about any of it. She is a lap dog pure and simple, never been into playing with toys. Squeakers actually scare her sometimes.

Dont forget our deadline is just around the corner....

[Inky Whiskers]

The joys of stamping and pets!

Who wants a spotless house & a cold lap anyway? :))

[coolcamaro]

So I need to send a self-addressed stamped envelope with my ATCs, right? Should I just put the same amount of postage on it as I do the one that I send everything in?

[alsmouse]

So I need to send a self-addressed stamped envelope with my ATCs, right? Should I just put the same amount of postage on it as I do the one that I send everything in?

Yes, please. Include a bit more postage to allow for any extra heavy ATCs & embelishments. ~C8>

[stampin stacy]

Depends on how many layers your ATC's are and if you use very many extra embellishments. There is usually a mix of them from the simple, to the more embellished ones, so somewhere in between should work. When in doubt go for a little extra postage so they make it to you safe and sound.

[coolcamaro]

OK thanks. They are on their way.

[piecesandpom]

These are due the 25th?

Yikes! I've been dreaming and doing real work instead of producing. Guess I have to get going tonight to meet all my commitments or you folks will ban me from the next swap!

[Inky Whiskers]

Nah! We'll just lash you with an inky noodle until you catch up. :))

[childsp]

Mine are in the mail :)

[monkeykeeper]

Mine are traveling through the postal system now too!

[piecesandpom]

I got mine stamped last night but have coloring to do this evening so mine will go out in the morning. Phew!

[lillibet]

Hi Stacy:

I did some last night and well can i still mail them to you Monday... Tomorrow
Please let me know...
and I better get the address right this time....
If i can still send to you that is if its okay...

[stampin stacy]

The number of ATC's each participant makes is based on the number of players in that swap and adding to the group afterwards would change that. As this swap is closed already and some players have already completed and sent their ATC's out, I will have to turn down your request, sorry.

[lillibet]

Dear Stacy:

No problem I totally understand .
thanksThe number of ATC's each participant makes is based on the number of players in that swap and adding to the group afterwards would change that. As this swap is closed already and some players have already completed and sent their ATC's out, I will have to turn down your request, sorry.

[Inky Whiskers]

Mine finally went postal today. Sorry they're a lil late. :blush:

[Carole]

This month is just flying by. My ATC's are going in the mail tomorrow.
Carole ;)

[stampin stacy]

They aren't late yet, so all is well......

[stampin stacy]

Start checking those mailboxes for lil envies of goodies :clap: !!

[coolcamaro]

WooHoo! I can't wait. I love getting goodies.

[stampin stacy]

I'll have to say for "first timers", your ATC's rocked Coolcamaro and Monkeykeeper!!

[monkeykeeper]

I'm blushing!:blush:
Thanks - I'm so glad you liked it! I'll be stalking my mailman until I get mine!

[coolcamaro]

I'm glad you liked mine too. I was worried that they would not be good enough. I also don't use a lot of bright summer type colors in my work so I wasn't sure how that design would go over. I can't wait to get my package and see everyone else's work.

[stampin stacy]

don't use a lot of bright summer type colors in my work so I wasn't sure how that design would go over. I can't wait to get my package and see everyone else's work.

That is the fun thing about the ATC swaps, no right or wrong. Getting back something from several players let you see just how different everyone's interpretation of the theme is. ;)

[Inky Whiskers]

I got my set today & Stacy is so right! WOW!!! Definitely worth the wait. :D

[coolcamaro]

Got mine today. There are great. I love seeing everyone elses style and interpretatoin. Can't wait for the July swap now.

[piecesandpom]

Yay! Got mine today and they are all great. Makes me wish I'd signed up for this month. . .but it's a good thing I didn't. I'm going to get swamped with work work this month.
