ALPHA-2V .. (JUNE - 2010) .. ATC swap

ALPHA-2V..(June - 2010).. ATC swap

June 2010
This is the continuation of our ALPHA-2 ATC swap
. . . . . . . . . . . . . Alphabetical ATC swap.
This months (May) title will be: ALPHA-2V. . . . . . folowed by ALPHA-VW and so on.
This ALPHA-2 started in September 2008 and I will run this swap for the full alphabet.
Each month will have a 'Sign Up By Date' and a 'Get It To Me Date'.= last Tuesday in every month
To join in you will need to make 4 portrait style identical ATCs (or as near as possible keeping the colours the same).
ATCs must measure 2.1/2" x 3.1/2" an International Size
Not just computer print-outs please, they must contain some crafting technique, so as to be fair to everyone.

. . . . 'Sign-up by date'.. for ALPHA-2V = Monday June 21st
. . . . 'Get it to me Date.. for ALPHA-2V = Tuesday June 29th. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The reason for making 4 ATCs is, so that when your swaps returned you you will receive your own Number 1 of 4 (1/4) back each month and 3 of other peoples to collect.
This gives us all chance to collect 4 complete alphabets whilst keeping a memento of our own Arty work to peruse for further ideas.
If you save the received swaps in a 9 pocket collectors page it is nice to able to view a 3 month swap on each page.

~ ~ ~ Starting as from July the 'Get it to me Date' will be the last day of each month for these ATC swaps.
~ ~ ~ Reason being, is that only 2 'Fuller' members still join in regularly and it will be easier for all of us to remember.

Better say yes - pinky already gone in the post lol.

Well Di, I laughed when I opened yours, as you say Thriftys U's are similar and seeing Thriftys also gave me an idea for my Vs too. But you hadn't seen hesr when you done yours. Nice

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am going to have another go with the photos again this afternoon. It just wont work. I cant understand it as I have done just the same as previos months but with no luck.
I dont know why Photobucket accepted the ALPHA photos but not the other 2 themes. Makes no sense. Same camera same day, same everything, grrrrrrr

I will probably only do V this month - time/holiday/wedding has left
me short and I have lots of family cards to do. Anyway I'll see how it goes.

oh teabag, i hoped that you had finally cracked that stupid photobucket, i cant understand why it is giving u so much trouble...but having seen you nearly 'lose the wig' as the kids at school say when i get stressy...i am hoping u can sort t soon...i know how much of your team seems to be wasted when it doesn't work. Keep it up ...you will overcome a stupid machine if not then hit the old whisky

V done and in the post in the morning.

my goodness that was quick old girl....

did you post about the 'I know something you don't know' that tebag showed us on Saturday....i bet you haven't...so all i will say is....whoever has done the No.5 atc has a treat coming.

Mine in the post this morning

Mine arrived today, I think, as I've been away.
Thank you all a great collection and better imagination than I had.
I have Helen's Violin music with it's lovely embossed musical note, a lovely feely heart on the Valentine one by Suzie Candlin and Nona's Victory V's, very clever, and I really like the background on it too.

My pinky arrived today, thanks Nona.

I have Steph' Vase (very pretty), Cynthia's Vase and Nona's Victory V's

Glad to see you are all getting your PINKYs. Considering it was not an easy letter.
I will try to get the photos up.

Mine came yesterday lunchtime.
I only did 'V' this time through bein shattered after
St Lucia. I got Nona's excellent Victory Vs, Suzie's
Valentine and Karelyn's clever vegetation and vole. I
wondered where the vole was until I took it out of the packet.LOL

Thank you Nona for the 5 which I love. I was going to make myself
a five but you've filled that gap for me. Thank you

Received mine, thanks everyone.
