May 2016 ATC Swap Theme

[pyjama princess]

Thought I'd post the theme early so that anyone planning to spend the BH weekend crafting can get a head start on their ATCs.
The theme for May is...................'Wish Upon A Star'.
I'm hoping you'll all get starry eyed and produce some unusual ATCs this month!
If any new people want to join in you'll be most welcome. There's no commitment to join in every month, just let me know as and when you want to join in by posting in that month's theme thread. If you have any questions just post in this thread or PM me.
Have fun everyone!

Count me in!

[Julie]

I'm in too please.

[Little Jan]

Will let you know at a later date
May is a busy month for Birthdays and Anniversarys

[EssexAnne]

Me too this month. X

[Mitzi]

I'm in for definite. Probably won't be able to join in next month so will definitely do this one.

[Glingle]

I'm in please.

Thought I already knew what I was going to do for this theme, but got the stamp out this morning and it is far too big for an ATC. So will have to come up with a Plan B!

Shrink plastic?

[Mitzi]

Shrink plastic?

LOL, I like your thinking. I do have some shrink plastic but I haven't seen it since we moved in here, so it's probably still in a box in the garage.

[pyjama princess]

What about stamping/colouring as usual then scan or photograph it, manipulate it in photo software to the size you want, print and cut out then stick it on your ATC.

[Mitzi]

Another good idea but I don't have access to a printer so I'd have to get it commercially printed. I'll give it some thought but I'll probably do something different.

Later edit:
I have a plan B which I'm happy with, in fact I think it might turn out better than the original plan A. Can't believe I already know what I'm going to do and it's only the 4th of the month. (I probably still won't get them made until the end.)

[Mitzi]

I am a total numpty. I have spent every bit of spare time in the last week working on my Plan B cards. Just about got them finished. Then found some ATCs perfect for this theme which I had made a while ago while playing with new supplies. So I'm sending two sets this month. Not sure what you'll do about that, PP - maybe everyone will get an ATC from me!

[pyjama princess]

Thanks Mitzi. I'll share them with the other swappers.
Victoria your ATCs have arrived - a very clever idea!

[Mitzi]

They went in the postbox yesterday (after collection time) so you might get them tomorrow.

[pyjama princess]

They arrived today Mitzi and all of them are brilliant - thanks for the extra ones, I'll share them out when I do the swap at the end of the month.

[pyjama princess]

So far I have 3 sets of ATCs. How's everyone else getting on? It's BH weekend next weekend so I'd like to do the swap then if possible.

[EssexAnne]

Ready for posting , will pop in box tomorrow so should be on way monday.

[Glingle]

Will rustle something up tomorrow!

They've arrived Glingle and another great interpretation of the theme.

[pyjama princess]

Are there any more ATCs in the post? I'd like to get the swap done this weekend but if anyone's ATCs are in the post and on the way I'll hang on until they arrive.

Carry on without me please PP.

[pyjama princess]

OK Julie - thanks for letting me know.

[pyjama princess]

The swap is done, all photos taken, envelopes sealed ready to go in the post box for Tuesday's collection. Off to post a 'group photo' and to think of a theme for June. Thanks again for joining in everyone and for getting the ATCs to me by the 27th.
