Ocean/Sunset ATCs: Peggy Gatto

We have our very first arrival for our Ocean/Sunset ATC swap! Peggy Gatto's Artist Trading Cards arrived a few days ago and I am just now getting them scanned and added to the blog. Thank you for your patience, Peggy. When the package arrived, I marked it as received on the Participant List - do check that out if you are wondering if your envelope has made it here yet! Once it is marked received on that list, it will not be too long before it is posted on the blog.

Peggy has created some beautiful ATCs for our swap. Mostly in wonderful "Ocean" colors . . . .

But she also created two in Sunset colors - so lovely, all of them! 

Peggy sent in 7 ATCs -which means she sent an extra one for me!

❤ This is a 6 for 6 ATC swap ❤ You only need to send 6!

So, sending an extra is NOT a requirement, but always appreciated.

I often get to keep extra ATCs, but there have been times when I needed 

to use them to make the swap work out.

Thank you so much, Peggy! 

The extra goodies you sent were a special treat for me too. 

You and I have been in exchanges together for such a long time, 

it is great to have you in this swap! 

Mark your Calendars: 

ALL swaps must be in my HANDS on or before 

APRIL 23rd, 2016

Mail EarLY!

 I can only swap what I have in my hands.

Please keep your swap envelopes simple.

Your ATCs should NOT be dimensional and thus should not need any padding. 

A plain business size envelope will do fine, tape the edges to protect if you like.

You do not need to wrap the ATCs individually - plain ATCs are fine, a piece of 

parchment paper or similar inbetween is good if you are worried about sticking! 

Please get in touch if you have ANY Questions . . . 

Have fun creating!!

Take a look at her blog: Peggy's mixed-up art! to see how peggy used an original painting of hers to create her pieces for our swap. I will post them on this blog after I receive them.

Peggy has embellished a very interesting and brightly colored bag with fibers and a favorite ARTchix Studio image. She has it all tied up here, but you could also use it like I have shown it below, with the bow turned into a handle . . . .
