New Swap - They Call It the Blues

This swap is for Paper Traders members only but we would love to have you join our fun. Please click on the purple Yahoo button in the sidebar for more information on how to join.


They Call it the Blues (Color Challenge)
3-for-3 ATC Cards
Skill Levels 2 & 3 - Budding & Blossoming 
Sign up by December 5th
Due January 14th
Hosted by Debra C.

Nothing to be sad about - the color blue is fabulous. This is a color challenge. Most of each card should be in some shade/tone of blue. Anything from pale sky blue to deep teal blue. Other colors may make an appearance, but should not dominate. Black & white are always welcome. Also - each card should have three layers. This includes the base and extra embellishments. The theme is: YOUR CHOICE - whatever moves and inspires you!

Here is a link to art images I have saved:

If you use a thick base & heavy embellishments send $2.00. If your card is more flat send $1.00. Please send an address label.

Speed Swap #9 - Leaves

This swap is for Paper Traders members only but we would love to have you join our fun. Please click on the purple yahoo button in the sidebar for more information on how to join.


ATC Speed Swap #9
This month's theme: Leaves
Sign up by November 15th
Mailing list announced November 16th
Skill level – All
Hosted by Cathy Calamas

It's the season of leaves; Autumn falling leaves for us in the Northern Hemisphere and new Spring leaves for our members in the Southern Hemisphere. Use leaves any way you like for this swap.

Inspiration found here:

Each month, on the 1st, we will announce a theme or technique for your ATCs. Anyone interested will have until the 15th to sign up. The list will be randomized, announced on the 16th, and you will mail one ATC directly to each of the next two people on the list. A total of two ATCs each month for the speed swaps. You don't have to sign up every month, just when you feel like it or like the theme or have the time.

We'll have brand new creative excitement each month and this will keep postage for each of us to a minimum as long as you don't make bulky ATCs. But of course that will be your choice. It's approximately $1.20 to mail internationally for one ATC in a note card envelope. You must be able to mail internationally to participate in this swap.

New themes will be announced on the 1st of each month.
