ALPHA-2G...ATC swap

This is the continuation of our new ALPHA-2 ATC swap
. . . . . . . . . . . . . Alphabetical ATC swap.
This months (February) title will be: ALPHA-2G. . . . . . folowed by ALPHA-2f 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'.
To join in you will need to make 4 portrait style identical (or as near as possible) ATCs. . measuring 2.1/2" x 3.1/2"
. . . . 'Sign-up by date'.. for ALPHA-2G = Monday March 16th
. . . . 'Get it to me Date' for ALPHA-2G = Monday March 30th
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
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.

Info up later.

Yummmy even the two with the same subject are very different, another great bunch. I'd almost forgotten about this.
The Gulls and the gale are beautiful.

I actually made the golf bags with left over bits of card, so it isn't just a piccie
or a flat image, but it doesn't show up in the photo. I had great fun making them.
I was tempted to do giraffes.
Didn't Suzy take part ?- she'll kick herself for missing out on Nona's cute goat.

did you mean golf bags steph..i cant see gold bags...

yes, goaty is fuming at missing this, i had planned to do a goaty one too..but time overtook as usual.

I did hint to teabag that she could make an extra for me, she sometimes does..but i haven't seen hide nor hare of it yet...

i love these..so different a take on one letter..thats the beauty of it

Sorry - yes I did mean golf bag - hadn't spotted the typo - have
corrected it now.
I hope I get one of Nona's goats - they are cute.

A lovely lot, good selection of subjects.

Mine arrived today, I have Nons'a (very cute goat), Stephs and Dawn's.

Yes Nona, the fish are from a piece of fabric with sticky plastic on the back!

They really came out great Di.
