You're Bugging Me!!/ATCs/Open Medium/Due date: April 1st

This swap is about bugs!! You will be making three or six ATCs with a bug on it. Some bugs are actually quite exotic or pretty looking. No spiders for this swap as they creep some people out. Any other bug is fair game!! WILL ALLOW ONE BUTTERFLY ATC BUT THE REST NEED TO BE REGULAR BUGS. Each ATC MUST be different. You can add lots of layers & elements if you'd like but be sure to send an extra postage for each ATC that you send in for the swap to cover for your ATCs going to the other artists.. Stickers can be used very lightly & definitely not as the focal point.

For the most part I swap media for media. If you do HD/HP you will more than likely receive the same back. Same for collage/mixed media. All ATCs need to be put in to sleeves to protect them from the elements. Sometimes there are only a few ATCs in certain medias; if that happens you will receive random media ATCs in return.

Late cards will be returned to the artist and neutral I-Trader given. Lack of communication and lack of ATCs will result in Neutral I-Trader given. Please, please communicate. US SWAPPERS, please send a SASE. Postage will be whatever it cost you to send it to me. INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS, All other international participants will need to send either US $2 or I have set up a Pay Pal account also. ALL INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS NEED TO SEND A SELF ADDRESSED ENVELOPE OR LABEL TO GET THEIR RETURNS IN. Please label all your envelopes with your user name & swap name. Place each ATC in a plastic sleeve. An extra ATC on the subject would be greatly appreciated but is not mandatory. Please feel free to post your ATCs to the thread. If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me a PM or ask in the thread. Please PM when you are ready for my address. Mail is running so slow these days & I honestly don't expect anything different in February/March. Most international mail will take anywhere from one to three weeks to arrive in WA. Please plan accordingly. On that same note; most mail here in the US can take anywhere from two days up to 15 days so please don't wait until the last minute to send your ATCS.

Players, when you have received your return ATCs for the swap; please remember to leave I-Trader for the host (me, ferretgirl) & You Rock points for your fellow artists that you received cards from. I will leave I-Trader points for you as soon as I receive (on time) your swaps. Once again, please PM me with any questions you may have.

So don't forget: Any kind of bug except for spiders. Okay, I'll quit bugging you now!

Hi Nancy, Lurkers welcomed

[NancyL]

I'm ready to sign up.

Do butterflies qualify as bugs?

[jezebelle]

I'm ready to sign up.

Do butterflies qualify as bugs?

Good question!

[ferretgirl]

Thanks for signing up, Nancy. No, I think I am not going to include butterflies for this one. But let me think on it & I'll get back to you guys.

[The Walnut Tree]

Are whimsical or cartoonish bugs ok? Or have to be realistic?

[LindyLu]

Hmmmmm...I'm mulling this over for a bit.

[ferretgirl]

The Walnut Tree, totally up to you....

[ferretgirl]

Hi LindyLu, Thanks for stopping by...

[ferretgirl]

Okay, I made a decision about the butterflies. You can make ONE butterfly ATC & the rest need to be regular bugs. I'll make that a revision in the swap directions, too.

[The Walnut Tree]

Ok, count me in please

[ferretgirl]

Great, you are officially "in" The Walnut Tree

[Butterbean]

May I join?

[Globug]

Hi, feretgirl,
Can our ATCs be simply drawn and painted?
Thank you!
Globug

[ferretgirl]

Welcome, Butterbean!!

[ferretgirl]

Hi Globug, If you make them well enough that you would love getting one then by all means, go for it. Also, I try to swap effort for effort.

[sheshedoesit]

Sign me up 3 for 3…thanks!

[NancyL]

Mine are being mailed today. I didn't end up using any butterflies.
