Butterflies, Dragonflies & Fireflies ATC'S

Do we have to use all 3 on each card, or just any one of them?

Hi Terry :)

It can be any or all. Whatever you wish, as long as it is within that theme. :) Thanks for joining!

Are newbies okay to join this swap?

Perfect! I collect dragonflies - dragonfly anything and I love fireflies. Wish we had some where we live now. I would LOVE to get some dragonfly ATCs.

You can't have one of these swaps with out me. Count me in too.

Windchimes, I LOVE dragonflies too, in fact, I already have some dragonfly ATC's made, but I think I will just have to create some more...hopefully, newbies will be allowed in this swap.

If not, I would be happy to send you a dragonfly ATC anyway...is that allowed here?

Dragonfly, I hoped you'd see this one!

I would like to be added to this swap, and if you allow I would like to participate twice. Love DRAGONFLIES, they have a very special, spirtual place in my life. grammysammy437 Sam Lee

I have one dragonfly ATC ready, and I'll make another when the times come! This will be my first ATC swap on Swap-Bot!

Please may I sign up for this swap? Thanks

Sorry I didn't reply sooner (I was on vacation.)

I see that you have already been rated and are no longer a newbie. ;)

Seeing your profile, though, I most likely would have allowed you to join this swap anyway! ;P

Have fun with it!

Windchimes ~

I am glad to see you here! :)

I am happy you are so enthusiastic about this swap. :) As for participating twice, I am not sure how that is done, as I have never had anyone request it before. Let me check into it and get back to you.

Melody

Ayii~

That is great! I am glad this theme appealed to you. :)

Michele1606~

Of course you may! :)

I've never done an ATC. Is there a place to see examples and learn about size and such? I'm intrigued as I've made quilt postcards in the past.

Thanks Laura

Made butterflies but if I get matched to a dragonfly addict, I'll make others. Ain't I good? :-)

SewFun;

Here is a bit of info I found on one of the sites for atc's:

Artist trading cards (ATC's) have three rules: they shouldn't be sold, they are to measure exactly 2.5" by 3.5", and on the back they must have the artist's name, contact information, title of the ATC and it's number in the series.

You can see more info, as well as some examples of finished atc's here:

Hope this helps!

gilligogs;

Wow! You are really on the ball with these, eh? That is great! :)

Melody

id love to do this one please....

I Do love Dragonflies. Couldn't pass this up...

serene_serenade-

Thanks for the info. Guess I could have googled it, huh? Anyway, I'll give it a try. Don't know about fireflies, but I can certainly manage dragonflies and butterflies. :)

Laura

i would love to do all three...so whoever gets me as a partner will most likely get 3 ATCS ...one with a dragonfly..one with a butterfly and one with a lightening bug...firefly...lol do only southrners call them lightenign bugs?? lol

I'm in the North and we call them Fireflies but I do remember when we were traveling through the south as a kid that they refered to them as lighting bugs. We stopped in a little town called London, Kentucky and they were everywhere, it was so amazing.

I'm up for that!

Just thought I'd let you all know I'm coordinating a new ATC Challenge: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/4049

Been calling them both. You should be in the mountains of Tennessee for one week in July the fireflies,lightening bugs are here by the millions. People take chairs and walk up the mountains in the Smokies just to watch them. It is wonderful as they light up on cue at 9P.M. Millions of them. What a site to see. All in one peticular place.

would love to join But... I'm new here I'm usually on flickr you can ck me out! Thanks!

Can't wait to do this, I am so excited to try ATC's!

I am just panicing a bit , Kiakiali is in this swap she has 10 people that has not received their items from other swaps and won't answer emails.Who knows whats up , but it is unfair to the one that gets her. Bev

Bev ~

I have removed her from this swap and will be removing anyone with lower than a 4.3 rating. I stated that as a requirement in the very first sentence, but I guess some people overlooked that part. :/

Melody

Fireflies are magic. We don't have them where I live, but I have seen some on my travels. The ones in the jungle on the Mexico/Guatemala border were pinkish-orange, like sodium lights!

Hi there, should it be 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 in size? Thank you, Crystal

Do we have to match our choice of dragonfly, butterfly or firefly to our partners' preferences? I have plenty of ideas for butterflies, fewer for dragonflies and I've never even seen a firefly (yeah, I know I can google for images, and I will). Personally, I'd be happy to receive any of them, but some people seem to have definite preferences.

I forgot to ask ... are fabric or digital ATCs allowed?

I thought i had signedup for this one but I wasn't in there Its a good thing I noticed it. I have had my cards ready for a week now. teehee

I'm a newbie, but would hate to miss this one! I understand if you need to remove me, but I promise to deliver some lovely ATC's promptly. Thanks!

Hi, I was never told who my partner was. I need to know to send out. I can't wait to find out. I received one myself. How many am I to be sending out and receiving? Crystal

Crystal, at the top of this swap there is a box with "As a member of this swap you can:" - go there and click on the "see the partners you send to". Then a little window will open, with your partners' addresses. Hope it could help you... :)

All mine should be out by early next week SORRY for the wait! My poor old & trusty printer thought it was way past it's due.... I have a new guy now!!! Thanks for the patience!

Holly and Lindy, yours are on their way from the Oregon coast. This was a fun swap! I keep coming up with other ideas I could use for this one.

Hi there, I will be sending out my cards this week. I have only received one myself so I don't understand that. I had never received my swap partners so that is my reason? Crystal

Allisza and Serene, your cards are going out in the mail Sat. morn. Thanks for both your patience! I can't wait to get mine either! Crystal

Haven't heard anything from Jennifer and Tracey...hope they got their BDF ATCs...:+?

Sorry cards on the way . Thanks Moonstonegail

I never heard from Liz... hopefully she did get them!

duh- I accidentally posted on the wrong swap!
