My cards will go out either Saturday or Monday via USPS because I'm a big ole cheapo like that.

Oh, and I may have gone a bit overboard on things. The way I look at it is that my stuff will balance out the nicer, simpler, more sophisticated cards.

:cheesy:

Please include me on next project. I loved watching Tommi finish this, and believe I will have whatever you need for the next one. Although not with as much talent.

Just an excuse to get near Hys talent and have fun. kaijira

My check-in: Laruss already has mine. And I did personalize so y'all better not drop out! :D

LaneyDoll 07-08-2013 11:05 PM

I am tackling mine this weekend. One of my big fundraisers for the club happens in a week and a half and I should have known to NOT sign up for anything but I did. Then, my PC crashed and it has literally been one thing after another. I *do* have an idea for this though.

But, it involves destroying a lithograph and I was really not sure if that was allowed ;)

The only real "rules" if you want to call them that, is that it be 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" (approximately) and that it have at least 2 mediums. Everything else is up to you.

sis 07-09-2013 03:55 PM

I have arrived .....
 
..... well, actually, according to Canada Post, the ATC's I created have arrived in Edmonton! WOOT! I'm quite excited to be part of this project and very looking forward to everyone's creativity!

laruss 07-09-2013 04:01 PM

I will get to the post office tomorrow afternoon.

I work from home so I never thought I needed a 24 hours post office, I have since found out I am wrong. I keep odd hours.

Wryly 07-09-2013 04:16 PM

Hey all!

I didn't like how the first batch turned out so I redid them in different mediums. This is taking lo her than expected but I should have everything in the mail by Saturday.
Looking forward to see what everyone has done

laruss 07-10-2013 04:48 PM

Sis I received yours today, they look awesome. I also got the 2nd envelope with the forgotten item. lol.

Jennifer I received the postcards and the rest of your ATC's, yay!

Thank you all for your postcards. I agree with Tommi, now I am trying to figure out whose secret belongs to whom.

LaneyDoll 07-12-2013 06:17 PM

Sadly, I have to bow out. When I was deconstructing my lithograph, I found that it was glued to a fairly thick piece of cardboard. There is no way I can get the things I need in time to get things out by the deadline.

I apologize for the time spent making cards for me to receive. I'm sure you all did amazing work.

:sparklyheart:

nanners 07-14-2013 07:01 PM

Mine are all finished! They are going in the mail tomorrow on my lunch break! That was fun!! I did put names on mine.

I want to thank everyone for their patience with me.

Peace,

nanners

Congrats. make sure you take it to, or send it via USPS, international mail rate.. not UPS...Looking forward to seeing all the fun ATC's.

Gemme 07-14-2013 07:33 PM

Mine are done as well. They just need to be packed up and mailed out.

nanners 07-14-2013 08:00 PM

I still did ones for LaneyDoll and Bleu, what will happen with them now? They are already packaged up and the envelope is sealed... :|

Tommi, I will be going to USPS tomorrow, it's a nice little walk to the post office. :byebye:

:byebye:

Any that are addressed to individuals (personalized) I will send them to them. If they are not they will go to the raffle. I had mentioned this earlier looking for feedback and didn't get any resistance, I think it is the best way to deal with them. Hope it is still okay with everyone.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's ATC's.

Wryly 07-15-2013 12:40 PM

Hey all!

Being a perfectionist sucks sometimes. The first few cards of the 2nd batch didn't quite turn out - have a 3rd set that I will send out.
However - something is wrong with my car so I won't make it to the post office today. Will try to get stuff out tomorrow - Wednesday at the very latest.
Sorry for the delay.

Gemme 07-15-2013 05:38 PM

Mine are gone, baby, gone!

Tommi 07-15-2013 06:12 PM

gone, baby, gone

Feels Gooooood ,huh. :hangloose:

nanners 07-15-2013 06:32 PM

Mine are too! Mailed them today, even if I almost melted going to the post office and back to my office! LOL! Now I'm looking forward to Laruss getting them, should be 6-10 days they said.

Not yet. I don't relax until I know they made it, safe and sound.

Then it will feel good.

:cheesy:

nanners 07-16-2013 05:23 AM

I know what you mean Gemme, the guy at the p0ost office said 6=10 days for mine, well nuts, I could drive there faster that that! (I might have inherited my Grandmother's lead foot, so there might be a speeding ticket or two involved though...best I mailed them, but really 6-10 days? What do they use in Canada? Pony Express??? LOL!

*in reality, I know it probably gets held up at customs for a bit. Yep, watch out for those ATC's, they could be dangerous. Bah ha ha!

Tommi 07-16-2013 06:58 AM

We are almost there. Well we are sending to Canada.
Looking forward to receiving the ATC cards, and to getting mail from Canada..Yeahhhh.

nanners, I had a brainstorm about the ATC's and the Raffle....see your PM and let me know.

Tommie...yes great idea!

Laruss, please send the raffle ATC's to me. I will get them there. Also, I will need to know who did each one please. Thank you!

deb0670 07-16-2013 09:34 AM

i put my name on mine, didn't know if it was ok or not.. so i put it in the bottom right hand corner..
i cannot wait to get everyone's atc's! i hope y'all like mine just a little lol
Laruss, will You please let me know when You get mine?

candy_coated_bitch 07-16-2013 01:18 PM

Mine went out, just to check in. I paid extra for quicker shipping. Yeah, I've done swaps before and gotten mail from Indonesia in like two days and mail from Canada takes foreverrrrrr LMAO. Oh well, the wait will be worth it. :)

I hope everyone likes them! deb: I signed mine on the back with my name and also BFP name. I wanna know who made which, of course.

Yaaaayyyyy!!!!!!

sis 07-16-2013 03:29 PM

I'm getting so excited ..... looks like I'll be able to take my cards to China ..... oh, and mine are signed on the back with my name - Deb D!


Deb

Gemme 07-16-2013 07:38 PM

All of mine have shimmery, bronze duct tape on the back (Mahthaaaa no less) and are in individual bags with everyone's name (to/from) on it, so there should be no mistaking mine but if one wiggles out of a bag, I know who I sent which one to so just pm me, laruss.

Also, I added a little something with each card. Kind of like a random thoughts kind of thing.

Hope you all like!

laruss and nanners, please be super careful with my reunion card. I had to make an executive decision.....either get them in the mail on the day that I absolutely knew I could or go buy some sealant and take my chances with the mailout date and I opted for the former. My reunion card is primarily chalk and it will smudge like no one's business. I tried to 'buffer' it but....who knows. Hope it gets there looking like it did here, cuz it was tre cute.

laruss 07-17-2013 08:35 AM

nanners, tommi had originally said he would take the reunion ones. But, I see that the two of you seem to be in cahoots, so should I send them to you now?
Can one of you please confirm.
Thanks

maryam has not been on BFP since June 12, I am going to assume that she did not complete the project. I will wait to hear from justanolecowboy and wryly.

If anyone knows them can you ask them to check in.
Thanks
