I've Recieved Some Great ATCs, Now What? A Contest!

We have been swapping for a couple of months.

We have received some beautiful little

works of art.

What do you do with all these

masterpieces?

We are having a contest,

a contest we can all benefit from.

We would like for you to create

something to hold your ATCs

or to display your ATCs in.

Wendy recently created this

ATC holder from a cigar box.

She discovered that her ATCs fit beautifully

in the cigar box, so inspiration hit!

Now she has a perfect place for all the ATCs

she will collect.

I am showing you Wendy's creation,

so inspiration can strike you!

For the Contest,

create a box,

a holder,

a display frame,

what ever.

You may use any materials you like.

Send us a photo of your project,

before September 20th, 2010.

We will post all the photos,

then  the fun will begin.

We will have voting for the

best project.

You can have your friends vote,

your followers,

anyone you can get to vote!

The project that is voted

on most will win!

Wendy and I are still

coming up with the prizes.

(We are thinking supplies you can

use for your ATCs and

other lovely things!)

As soon as we agree on the

prizes, we will post those.

We just wanted to post this now,

to get those creative juices flowing.

We will keep the responses and votes

hidden, until after all voting is complete and

a winner is chosen.

Or, would you like them posted so you can

see where you stand and how much bribing

you may need to do?

Leave us a comment

on how you feel about this. 

The Winner

If the winner would like,

you can do a guest post

on how you  created the winning entry,

Or send us photos on the work in progress

and we will do the post for you.

You may also choose to be mysterious

and keep your techniques a secret.

It is all up to you.

Now put your thinking caps on and get busy!

Love to all,

Debbie

Our Ranks Are Growing

We have had more new friends join us. We have also added to the list of helpful links. Please, remember to mail out your ATC tomorrow (the 19th). Yikes! I still haven't finished mine. After you have finished admiring the new work of art, you have recieved, take a photo and post it on your blog. You can then come back here, click on each participants name and you will be linked to their blog to view each others ATC's! Remember some of us (me) are new to this. Creating an ATC is like anything else, the more you make, the better they will be. Wendy and I are so happy each of you took time from your busy lives to participate in this swap. Remember the words from the top of our rule list.....HAVE FUN!!!
Love to you all!

The Blissfull ATC Swap Now Begins

We have ironed out the details. (We hope!)
You each should have recieved an email with your partners name and all the particulars.
You will have until the 19th this month to send out your ATC, since we are starting late.
We are swapping one on one and will be glad to accomadate any late comers.
Next month we will post partners on the 1st and you will send out your ATC on the 15th.
We are posting the themes for the coming months so, you can make your ATC up ahead of time, if you like. Or, if you are like me and need awhile to think about what I will do.
If for any reason you would like to opt out for a month, that's fine. As the partners rotate we can accomadate when you get busy and life happens.
We also may have someone that wants to trade with more than 1 person each month. If you will let us know we will see what we can work out.
It is fun to recieve little treasures in the mail and we want you to have fun making the ATC's. We all have different skill and experience levels, so do your own thing!
