Monthly ATC swap/ challenge

I will now be hosting a monthly ATC swap along the same lines as the rainbow ATC swap.

Every month I will post a theme/ sketch/ inspiration for your ATC's and if you fancy having a go than you sign up. When sign up is closed you make 1 ATC for every person signed up (so if 5 people sign up you make 5 ATC's, if 10 people sign up, you make 10 ATC's etc) and send them to me with SAE or label and postage. I send one of each, including one of your own, back to you.

There will be a short sign up, about a week, and then 3 weeks to make and send so I can sort a new idea for the next month. You can dip in and out as you like and if you don't like the theme or haven't got time than you don't do it!!

This will start with July.
So first sign up is by 3rd July, send to me by 24th July. I will sort and return them and have a new theme ready for you to sign up for by the 7th August. Than 3 weeks to make, send to me by 28th August. And so on.

So, I'll put the July theme up in a week or so for people to sign up and hopefully we will have a few people happily swapping away.

great news Helen, I will definitely do some of them, even if not at the moment whilst I am so busy.

Its lovely to see some more folk doing stuff though.

Erm - do I want to do this ????



Yessirreeeee - I certainly do. You answered my questions about another
ATC swap Helen and am so pleased. Will you tailor the theme as to how many
sign up (e.g if there was 12, we could do months, zodiac, or as few as 4 could do
various themes. No - just rechecked your post) Do they all have to be the same
or can they be different as long as we have followed the theme of that month.

Well done Helen - look forward to this.

It will be up to you Steph, whether they are all the same or different as long as they follow the theme.

I've been thinking about it for a couple of months as I've got more into ATC's and your thread was the kick I needed.

Oh yes I will have a go at this. I love making them so will be cuting more atc's ready for the day. Thanks for doing this Helen.

Well I will have a go too Helen, all being well. Certainly will join in some months if not all! Thanks for organising it. Will watch out for the sign up post.

I will keep my beady eyes open for this...thanks helen.

I'm glad about that - It's not too bad doing 4 identical ones for
Nona's swaps but would like the freedom of varying them if there
is more than that so sounds really good.

So far 6 if us are eager for this one. More needed people.

Wouldn't mind a go sometimes...........just must get making them again. Been off the boil for too long now. Waiting to hear what the theme is now.

I will keep an eye open for the sign up dates too

Helen, I know that we haven't finished with the July ones yet, but was wondering if you knew what we were to be doing for August as I would like to start thinking about it, lol.

Great minds Jan - I was wondering as well. Impatient aren't we ?

I will decide this evening and put up a thread for August with the theme so you can start to think about it.

Next three themes will be:

September- Animals
October- (Use up your) Scraps
November- Places

Oooohhh fabulous - thanks Helen.
