BLoG #C15 Owl ATC Swap Series (Message)

Due to strong member response to ATC's and the popularity of Owls in our group, I'm creating an Owl ATC Swap Series. There will be 6 swaps in total. You may join all 6 swaps, or only those you are interested in participating in. If this is popular, we can continue for another round of 6 more. Future swaps are listed below, so you can work ahead, as these are sender's choice. Swaps will run every 4 weeks.

Make an ATC featuring a Message Owl. Refer to swap photo for example and inspiration. Search on Pinterest for more ideas. Check out our group forum "Sticky" for ATC Tips and Q&A!

You will create ONE ATC for ONE partner. Standard ATC rules apply with each card measuring 2.5" X 3.5" or (64mm X 89mm) and constructed on a sturdy backing. You may use any technique or medium, and in combination if you'd like: EXAMPLES - Stamp, Paint, Draw, Collage, Die Cuts, etc...Only one sticker allowed and it cannot be the owl image. You're welcome to use some dimensional items so long as the finished card will fit into a sleeve! Finished item should be protected in some sleeve or plastic covering.

Owl ATC Swap Series with Mail Deadlines:

Please Note: Deadlines have been moved forward 1 day, as the dates I had previously set fell on Sundays.

• Whimsical Owl (cute, cartoon-like, character-like) Mar 23
• Message Owl (add a quote, phrase, word) Apr 20
• Birthday Owl (party hat, balloons, streamers ) May 18
• King/Queen Owl (put a crown on your owl) Jun 15
• Realistic Owl (life-like, real-looking) Jul 13
• Black & White Owl (only use shades of black & white) Aug 10

This swap is INTERNATIONAL and ATC is sender's choice. For a personalized ATC, please check partner profile for favorite owl, colors or style....but not required as it's senders choice. Aim to make your partner happy with work you'd want to receive yourself. If item was received and met swap requirements, please rate a 5; Hearts are optional and can be awarded for a personalized piece, extra special work, etc...

Please note: mail overseas routinely takes 2-4 weeks. Communication with your partner is important. Minimizing dimensional embellishments helps keep international mailing costs down.

REMEMBER: Anyone can join an International Swap. USA members are welcome to join if you'd like to swap with International members.

AEK7300 will angel if needed. Anyone who flakes on this swap will be removed from inclusion in future swaps.
