I'm interested... will take a few days to think over some ideas before committing myself.

Yep, I'm in!

Here is an example done a little over a year ago.
Not meant to be part of this swap.

Sign me up!

Yahoo!

All right - game on.
Welcome aboard the bus to Tracy and Melissa.

Add me please. By the way, I've sent you a PM about the potential to up the number of players since this is a second swap. For those who have joined this swap, you might want to hold off printing until Ty makes a decision on if he wants to do that or not.

Heads Up!

Rules have been changed! I just found out that a Second swap allows for an additional participant and therefore the number of cards to print has been increased to 7 cards per artists.

Hi Ty, your PM inbox is full, you'll need to clear out some old messages.

May I join?

Cool...all the usual suspects.

lol yep that's us!!

I think this sounds like fun count me in Please

Print an additional card? No problem-oh.

Would it be acceptable to include a road sign or road symbol of some kind? The way I'm cutting my block left a lot of positive space.

Response to Question on add-on s & background ???

Setting the scene with props & or landscapes is OK.

We have a new Particapant (ARTG33K74) - welcome.

There is only one last slot to fill.

Can I fill the last slot! This looks like fun!

Okay I pulled a few test prints last night. This may not be the final color combo. I can't decide if I should cut the handle bar a little more... I hope it'll be okay for the swap..
