Let me think on it. I am just buried in school work and work. I think life will be better after March 25 when Biomedical Ethics ends. I feel that this is my busiest course yet. What is the theme of the ATC card swap?

Karen,
Since you are really talented with these, can you post one as an idea? I'll probably get motivated while standing in Michael's but I could use a push in the right direction. Thanks!

Kathi if you go to the section marked guidelines for creating swap items, there are a lot of examples there.

I have not been on the board much, been sick since Friday. Went to the doctor yesterday, I have bronchitis. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing with this swap.

I was hoping to get to it today but did the 12x2 challenge. Maybe soon but I am going cropping on the 22nd and will get them done then if I haven't already. I doubt Cec is going to be able to get this in by April 30th--too much up in the air with her dad.

Just need to know if she Asked you to post that she will not be ready in time.

Karen One of the ideas I have has a portion extending past the edge of the atc. I know not everyone likes that to occur. In the guidelines it says it can extend by 1/4", but thinking that I meant something else when I typed that . So asking - extend or not. Either works for me, just figured I should ask before setting my heart on any particular design Also, I noticed no thickness stated (yes, double checking the rules as it has been a bit ) I know super thick is not the goal, but wondered if we had one? Not trying to change anyone's designs, but as I hope to ship by next weekend, I need to do some figuring! Also trying to figure out hot coffee drinking could be a craft ROFL (just kidding - but I do have a new stamp!)

I do have the perfect answer to your question,just not sure if it works for you. People that collect the ATCs often use a specific page protector to store them in. Do you know the ones that have the divided pockets for collecting baseball cards? I forget how many are on each sheet. I know that the only way my answer helps you is if you happen to have one, but that would be the best way for you to check how much can extend and the thickness. hope that helps.
In regards to your last thought- I believe that is not so much of a craft as it is an addiction:)

Yes, I know But - no worries, I figured it out!!!! My plan is set! Meetings the first few days this week, so goal for tonight - get the pieces that need to dry complete so they can start drying during the week. Finish assembly on Thursday and Mail on either Friday or the following Monday - the 24th already!

Having more fun with this than I remember swaps being! LOL Once the design hit, I like how it is working out. I hope everyone else is having as much fun as I am. Question - for backs - do you want us to fill those out? I just remembered a lot of ATC's have that done. Board name/Group/date? Just trying to remember what should be used (no, I don't have a stamp Thanks!
