ALPHA-2e...ATC swap

This is the continuation of our new ALPHA-2 ATC swap
. . . . . . . . . . . . . Alphabetical ATC swap.
This months (January) title will be: ALPHA-2e. . . . . . 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-2e = Friday January 16th
. . . . 'Get it to me Date' for ALPHA-2e = Monday January 26th
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
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.

And me too please :)

I received your Januarys PINKY first thing this morning.
Blimey Joy have you got a steam engine up your bum? I haven't even thought of mine yet.

Mine on the way in the morning.

4 PINKY's arrived this morning. Helen, Di, Sue & Dawn. Thank you for gettting them to me early girls.
Some nice work in those PINKY's, it's a shame the Post Office have found out how to frank them now, so no more freebees this time. If they knew what was in them they'd probably charge us double.

erm Nona, I dont want to interfere but youve got me marked as letter e and travel and I actually sent you letter e and month of the year......

they are gorgeous, i have seen quite a few now.

Mine posted yesterday so hopefully reach you today

I'm glad you pointed it out, thanks Maria.

Just got your 3 sets in your PINKY this morning Mistyrat, that just leaves Karelyn's to come.
BUT, I haven't done my Es yet so I shall have to get my finger out.

In the post today 1st, so hopefully with you Monday, Saturday's a funny post though, Sundays always used to get there next day but Saturdays can take 3 days. Fingers crossed.

ooh some more to gork at next time i see teabag...the others are gorgeous and i'm sure rest will be too.

All PINKY's just been posted with P.O.P.
Thank you all for joining in. Photo's up soon.

News--News-- we have another 'Canny Loonie' joining in with our January's 'Fuller' ATC swaps this month: Celfy
Also, Questain= Helen, one of my 'Fuller' crafters is back after a six month recouperation from a badly broken wrist & arm. Now she is able to use her hand and arm again she has managed to do one set of ATCs for us this month.

Here are your January's ALPHA-2e ATCs

Top row = Me, Teabag .. Sue.. Maria .. Cynthia ..
Middle row = .. Dawn .. Di .. Karelyn .. Rachael ..
Bottom row = Helen (Lousloonies's Helen) .. Joy .. Barbara18 .. Steph..Helen ..

I love some of the titles you have put on your work, I would like to have put them up but it's too big a job, perhaps you would like to tell us all what they were?
I titled mine 'Say What You See'. The enigma on the (sizzix shadow) X is not the Alpha E; my own drawings are the puzzle challenge; find the answer to get the ALPHA-e word. The answer is covered up on the back.

I will put a new ALPHA-2e topic, & sign-up dates up.
