ATC swap - Christmas theme [Archive]

Come make and swap Christmas ATC's with your fellow RSC members. Great way to wish each other Happy Holidays and have some fun doing so.

I've decided to call this a little early to make sure we get them back in time, it occurs to me that not only do we have busy schedules but the Post Office mail volume will slow things down too. I will be closing sign ups in a couple of weeks, sometime just after the 1st of Nov.

Don't think about it do it! You know you want to be part of the fun, instead of reading about everybody else's fun. Don't miss out.

Specifics about how many and due date to follow soon, after we know how many are participating but I will keep the number manageable. Can we break our record of 13 participants from last time???? Kinda cool that our number was "unlucky 13" for a halloween swap!

I've had a question about the number of ATC's that everyone will need to do. The reason I haven't given a specific number is that I will be dividing up among those that participate by a number that works mathematically. It will be between 4 -6 ATC's each probably though.

Love seeing all the new players too:clap: , be warned though you will now be addicted and want to keep playing:D .

I think i can find time for 4-6 ATC's for Christmas.
It's just too much fun.

:applause: We have 11 signed up so far. :clap:

Anybody else interested, I'll be closing the swap in a few days. Don't keep putting it off saying I'll think about it :confusion: , come play with us. You will have lots of fun and make new friends at the same time, whats not to love about that!! ;)

What I'm addicted to is seeing everyone's techniques in real life. And it's all on a small scale so I can build up a collection of samples that I'd never take the time to do myself. And the many, many ways each of us treats the theme.

It's pushing me to become better or try something new and that's always good!

I have never done an ATC swap so I would like to join in too.

That is 15 people,:clap: ! I will be closing this swap at noon Central time today 11/03/07 so last chance to sign up and participate in the RSC Christmas ATC swap! Right now it is looking like a 5 -6 card swap but will let everyone know for sure in a few hours :) .

stampin stacy

11-03-2007, 11:27 AM

This ATC trade is now closed. Thanks to all who signed up to trade, if you missed this one keep checking back as we will have another swap very soon.

All participants who signed up need to send me 6 like Christmas themed ATC's, if you are keeping one for yourself remember to make 7 but don't send it to me. I am keeping one of each this time and sending you back 5.

Be sure to give them a title, number them ( 1 of ? etc...), date, and sign them. Be sure to include your screen/online name somewhere as well as your real name so I know who I have and haven't received from.

Your ATC's are due to me no later than Nov 17th, this give me time to get them back out to you before the post Thanksgiving/Christmas card rush starts. Please include a SASE for me to return your ATC's back to you in. Sleeves are not necessary until you receive back from me. It would only make them heavier and more bulky, resulting in additional postage costs for everyone.

I haven't been able to contact Stampin Stacy and I don't have her address. With the post office being closed on Monday and this swap due by Saturday, I need to get mine in the mail ASAP.

Could someone please PM or email me Stacy's address?

Thanks in advance.

You have 8 days to the deadling...a little more breathing room. I don't have her addy yet either. I am sure she will pass it along to us all tho. Not to worry.

I am not ahead of the game on this one...still mulling over in my head what to do with what I have...etc...:o

Just sent Pm's to everybody with my address, sorry it took so long. I went from no plans this week to nonstop suddenly. I haven't even been able to touch my stamps:shock: :cry: . Guess the world is gonna have to wait this weekend so I can make my ATC's and swap card. Not that they would listen if I posted a "do not disturb" :eyeroll: .

Off now to take care of more errands, ugh......

:) Hello Stacy, we are sending you six ATC's, you are keeping 1 of from everyone who is sending you ATC's and sending us back 5? :confusion:

piecesandpom

11-09-2007, 03:37 PM

Methinks the hostess with the mostest wants to keep 1 of each, so that's why 6 ATCs and we get 5 back. Don't blame her; lots of great talent here!

Methinks the hostess with the mostest wants to keep 1 of each, so that's why 6 ATCs and we get 5 back. Don't blame her; lots of great talent here!

Also, it takes time to organize our swaps to send them back out to us, so if Stacy wants one ATC from each of us for facilitating the swap I think she should have them. :D

Tho' not common in swappping, I have done a swap before where the facilitator kept one of each set of cards as her "payment" for doing a monthly swap for 50+ people. We didn't have to do 50 cards a month, just 20 & we got 19 back. It was great fun while it lasted.

Plus, our own grand pobah of RSC (AMY) will be here in Jan and I thought I'd take them with me to the Grapevine convention so she can see in person the awesome job everybody does on these. Shhhhhhhhhhhh, lets not tell her though so it can be a surprise :noway:

P S yes Maryann (Stamp La Jolla), I'll bring them to the Mesquite show the next week for you to see also:wave: . :)

j3annin3

11-09-2007, 07:21 PM

Relax..... I'm not unhappy about or to do this, just wondering! It's reasonable to ask where and how one's art work is being used. I do think it'd have been more fun to know this in when we were discussing the swap.

11-12-2007, 07:33 AM

Is the due date here the 16th or 17th of this month? I've misplaced a key element for my ATCs :o and am heavily in craft mode so the chances of me finding them in time to send on the 16th is slim. I will have found it by the 17th 'cause I need them for another project, too, but that's craft fair day so I don't know if I can get to the PO before the fair starts - I usually do a run to the bank for the other crafters and don't know what the line at the PO will look like that AM.

Guess the question is whether the 19th is an okay date so I can play?

Where is the stamping cleanup fairy when I really, really need that magical entity? ? ?

stampin stacy

11-12-2007, 08:30 AM

We can extend the due date a few days if that will help the majority. I didn't realise today the P O would be closed. I was just trying to get them back out before the holiday card rush starts, so none get lost. I am shooting for getting them back out on Tues or Wed. Does this help or should we wait longer? Again I don't mind either way, majority rule.

diana

11-12-2007, 10:14 AM

I'm good with whatever date we have. I pared down on my idea & ready to finish them. May take me longer to do the backs than the fronts! diana

Spideycindy

11-12-2007, 11:16 AM

I scrambled this weekend and got my front and backs nearly done but not together...This week is crazy for my dh to get them mailed out by the 16th as he is out of town on the 14th and 15th...I truly figured I had more time to order in stamps I was looking at etc but did work with what I had. It was not what I originally started out to make and it was interesting to me how it evolved as I dove in and played with it. It evoked a trip down holiday memory lane for me...A California Kid that dreamed of snow and got a couple holidays with it...At best we may be able to make the mail out on the 16th but the 19th would be easy on the DH...I car pool so my time at work is stuck working car-less.
About those stamps of mine alot like a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear....always wanting something new...hehehe I may still order post ATC planning just because I want them!:))

Spideycindy

11-12-2007, 02:44 PM

either due to Stacy by the 17th or the 19th is good for me. Mine are almost finished, and i'll put them in the mail tonight but my post office is pokey; i think it took at least a day longer than my post office estimated it would to reach Stacy last time.

i agree Cindy! More Stamps-More Stamps! I could use a stamp that says that this just to cut down on the number of time i need to answer the age old "What do you think Santa will bring you this year jeannine?" ....assuming i get on the nice-not naughty list.

anyone started Christmas shopping yet? I haven't even gotten started on making Christmas cards for my family yet. I am sooooooo not getting enough done.

Good luck at your craft show Karen!

Oh (s)crap I misread the post and figured they had to go postal by the 17th...
I guess I am used to posts saying go postal by a deadline date my bad totally[insert sigh] I may be able to get them postal by tomorrow if I bat my eyelashes alot to dh....no post office open today anyway so tomorrow is the best I can do and it will get there when it gets there...so sorry. I will bench myself until 2008 and cheer from the sidelines.

I will have to bow out. cryin
I really wanted to swap...
My car has been sick and all my attention has been on getting it fixed.
Sorry everyone.

stampin stacy

11-13-2007, 12:05 PM

Cindy, they are not due until next week so you have plenty of time to get them out don't worry about it.

Artkar and Taniwolf, we are sorry you can't stay in the swap but understand, maybe next month will work out better.

Now for my news:
My computer quit working yesterday afternoon so I will not be able to check AT RSC very often until we get parts and it has been fixed, probably a week at minimum. I am at the library now and will try to get by here once a day. They are saying it takes at least 3 -5 days to get the parts and then I will have to schedule an appointment for them to come install.

Yes I am still hosting the swap!! I am going to send out ATC's on an as received basis, more or less. So if you get yours done early you should get some back early, as long as I get 5 others to send theirs in early too.

Please do not post anything to the gallery though until I give the go ahead, we don't want to spoil anyone's surprise.

Sorry if this is rushed or anything is misspelled, no spell check and I am in a hurry. Use of computers here is on a time limit and then you get bumped off.

marstamper

11-13-2007, 04:24 PM

My ATC's are in the mail, and I quickly did a 2nd quick set since Tanya had to drop out. They aren't fancy, but at least they are there. So, 2 sets are on their way, in the same envy.

I also mailed my Fall Swap Card off, so be watchin for that, too. (You, Stacy, have a lot of mail coming!) :)

Let me know when you get them.

Spideycindy

11-13-2007, 04:57 PM

My ATC's did go postal with tracking options. Per my helpful dh who took them to the po for me, they should arrive on Friday! Big Sigh...
Ho, ho, hope they make it in good time and shape. I sent in a paper mailer not a plastic one...(more fun to play on the outside with the paper mailers!)
Sorry about your puter going ker-plop...no fun being cut off like that.
Hey Santa are ya listening....a little magic dust might help?
Spideycindy

j3annin3

11-13-2007, 05:24 PM

Mailed mine late last night! No telling when they'll get to you, they SAID Friday but they cannot be relied upon for accuracy. If you need extras, Stacy please let us know.

Hope your computer gets spifffy in a jiffy.

Hey everybody.....

I'm back!!!! :clap: All fixed, up and running again. Wooooo Hoooooo!!! Still not ready to recommend Dxxl :eyeroll: (computer isn't even 2 years old) but at least they subcontracted out repairs to someone that ROCKS!

marstamper, thank you for making extra's, that was nice of you to do, was wondering how I was going to work that out. I am sooooo still trying to figure out the math on this stuff. Much like uploading to the gallery etc when I first joined here, I figure after a few more times it will be second nature but right now :confusion: .

I'm so excited about stuff starting to get mailed out, my mailbox was getting kinda lonely :noway: .

11-17-2007, 08:39 PM

I'll definitely get my ATCs out Monday but I have a lot of clean up and putting away to do!

Thanks for the inquiry. I did better than last year - altered minibooks, small memo books, post-it-notes, 3 X 3 mini cards and lots of Thanksgiving and Christmas favors (nugget boxes, matchbook type cards with G???delli chocolates and the first person who saw my Snowman Soup bought them all! ! !). Tile coasters, some cards. The donated stamped tapers in the church greens baskets all went. Few cards, folks appreciate them but don't buy them. Nice comments on some of the new things I've tried and learned over the last year so I know I am doing something right!

The best news - a woman in town is looking to open a handcrafted items store and is seriously considering me as someone she wants making items! I don't know if we get enough traffic in town for this to work out - we are an 'antiques' go-to site for the entire state so if it's in the right place it just might work. We'll see what happens in the spring.

j3annin3

11-18-2007, 10:42 PM

YeaH!:clap: Good for you! for more than just your sales, for trying some new things and putting yourself out there. :D

That's great news Karen! A successful sale is a happy thing, an other than successful sale is somewhat depressing. I've had both, and now think the other less-than-hoped for results, often times depend on factors totally out of my sphere of influence.....of course, a good sale is without question a reflection of your skills and selection of products.

Inky Whiskers

11-20-2007, 05:11 PM

stampin stacy

11-27-2007, 02:26 PM

I dropped everything off today. I know I said I would send some out before the others but that ended up not being practical. Good news is every one is getting 6 ATC's. With the drop outs we had we ended up with extra's, all I had to do was make an extra 3 plus marstampers generous making of extra's and voila.... 6 each.

They are all wonderful, you will love seeing the variety of artwork. I know I did, what a talented and creative bunch we have, give yourselves a pat on the back.:applause:

j3annin3

11-27-2007, 05:39 PM

thanks Stacy! did you still get to keep one of each? if you didn't let me know and i'd be happy to send another one of mine for your compilation. I appreciate the extra work you and marstamper have done. :)

stampin stacy

11-27-2007, 11:12 PM

I got to keep one of each and still send you all 6 as well, Merry Christmas everybody. I do feel bad for those who had to drop out. Please sign up for the next one if you can, understand about the running out of time though.

Diana's radiant pearls Season Greetings
Maralee's snowman shaker card...
And the last card is the word JOY and the Y is a reindeer....
I loved the back too because of the Created to be Traded

Thank you Stacy, for organizing this swap. I had a blast & I got great ATCs in return. Tucker has explored them too & finds them all to be worthy of a test nip but he is totally interested in both OtharRubber & j3annin3's cards. he even tried to drag them off to hang in his cage. I guess he wanted the art to decorate his walls. :)) Thank you to all the artists who played. ~C8>

That one is mine! I got the ATC label stamp from Alluring Impressions during the Virtual Stamp Convention last Sept. There's a banner link for them around RSC somewhere. They rotate, so you'll have to keep an eye out for it. Look for the "eyes". :D

You are all welcome, glad everyone is having so much fun opening their packages. Hope its getting everyone who participated in the christmas spirit, especially Inky Whiskers who opened hers during a snow fall, too cool!! ( :)) )

I hope the "In 2008 I will..." theme will be fun too, really excited to see what some of you come up with for that one.

I got mine as well. Thank you all. Helped to put me in the crafty mood I needed so I could complete 16 of 24 pages for my aunt's wedding album, supposed to be last year's Christmas gift - better late than never!

I'm trying to figure out where to display them so pieces and pom won't get them. . .pieces can be pretty destructive trying to get away from pom when they are playing chase. She does egg him on by batting her eyes and swishing her tail.

First snow day for the girls and I should be working. . .

I'm trying to figure out where to display them so pieces and pom won't get them. . . .

I keep mine in baseball card pages. My display thought is that if you framed a single baseball card page, you could display up to 9 ATCs at a time. If that's too much effort, you could always tack a display sheet to the cork board or wall. I usually find these 9 pocket pages in the office supplies with the full size page protectors. Just thinking out loud. :D

I can post them since I have copies of each this time. Someone else pm'd me about doing theirs too and now I can't find the note so if someone else needs theirs uploaded let me know. Sorry I don't remember who it was, I know I save that message somewhere..... :confusion:

My scanner won't put out! OH Sure, it will scan, it will edit- :hissy: the muddle-memory thing just plain refuses to move, upload/download or transfer the file to anywhere. It's doing it on purpose.....I just know it is! I'm gonna fix that sad sorry thing six ways to Saturday once i get finished with Christmas stuff. Yep! January's a good time for a cranky showdown! Then we'll see who's more stubborn and sly! ....pitiful pile of electronic components......play silly data games with me......was a toaster and it's other parent was a rubberband.....

:)) Oh you just made my day...I so thought I was the only one dealing with electronic issues...give me a pencil, paintbrush, x-acto knife any day but the electronic systems do not like me no, not me not one little bit!
Thank you for the scan offer I humbly appreciate it as well...

I had a friend once whose boss kept putting off getting her computer fixed. She made a big show walking by his office with a very large hammer in hand one morning......

He asked, "what are you doing?"

She answered, "I'm going to fix my computer". The computer tech was at her desk fixing the computer before the morning was out.

Now do you feel better about your scanner issues? :p

I will get scans and upload first chance I get.:)

Thanks, spidey, Stacy, i don't actually feel bad about my scanner issues, it's more like a stone in my shoe.....an actual pain but not enough to stop doing what i need to do and and shake it out. But the hammer idea might work! I'll just settle my #10 sledge where it'll have to see it and maybe it'll give up messing with me.....maybe. I've tried bribing it with new and even brand-name ink cartridges and coated paper. -a threat couldnt hurt.

But please dont feel you must upload my ATC Stacy, i was just comisserating with all the other scaner impaired stampers.

I was hoping the sun would return for me to get pics of the ATC's but I don't thing that is going to happen. The colors are usually better but I will get them uploaded today hopefully either by scan or picture taken. Anyone else need me to upload for them?

Santa is supposed to be bringing a scanner to our house...if it gets too crazy I can always push Santa to hurry up and scan later after the holidays. I really appreciate your offer but hey this is a busy time of year. Make me low priority in any event.
Hugs and Thanks,
Spideycindy

Done!! I uploaded Marie, Spideycindy, J3annin2 and Marstamper's 2 ATC's

They are pretty awesome, go check them out!!

If I had know that complaining here at RSC about not having any sunshine to get decent pics would chase the clouds away I definitely would have complained sooner. Too weird considering we had "freezing fog" this morning.

Truely is was no big deal, you all are most welcome. They were too pretty to not be shown off. It is very cool to see your own work in an online gallery and know "thats mine!".

These scan issue are a hoot to read.......hammers, toasters, gosh I have the same problem, my scanner works, its the person pushing the buttons that can't figure it out. Not only that but my printer won't print, the paper always jams, something is not turning.........some wheel, just like the one in my brain!
I do look forward to viewing all the Christmas ATC's.
