***Postal***PAT 23 - Due 9-17-12
I'm giving Jen a break so she can enjoy her vacation - she earned it after the last round!
Pick-a-Theme is grouped, each group consists of five members. When you sign up for a spot in a group, you pick your theme. You will then make a card for each of the four other members of your group in their chosen themes and in return, they will each make a card for you in your chosen theme.
1. All cards MUST be 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches. That’s a hard and fast rule of ATC’s.
2. There must be at least two layers of heavy card stock or watercolor paper.
3. No vender requirements. No technique requirements. Use at least one embellishment. And, of course, do your best work. PAT swappers tend to make some of the best cards out there.
4. Each card must be unique. You can not make the same card for two different people even if the themes are similar.
5. Regarding handwriting on cards: Unless you are a calligrapher or skilled at drawing fonts, if you don’t have a stamp that meets your need for text, a computer generated phrase or a word or phrase cut from a magazine or DP is generally preferable to handwriting on an ATC.
6 . Please sign your cards! People like to know who to compliment and thank! At a minimum, please include the Group # and Theme, and your SCS Name on the back of the card. Any other information you would like to include is also welcome.
7. You will be placed in groups on a first come first serve basis and I will do my best to accomodate your requests for groups.
8. HAVE FUN AND CREATE BEAUTIFUL LITTLE MASTERPIECES!!
Due: September 17, 2012
Please Note: Each swap position has an individually selected theme, so in this type of swap there are NO ANGELS and NO SUBSTITUTIONS so please keep that in mind when you sign up. FLAKERS will be reported to moderators and will not be welcome in further swaps. Newcomers are EXTREMELY welcome however I ask that they only sign up for a maximum of 2 spots for their first time around. Be fair to your fellow swappers, mail on time and if real life happens, please let me know ASAP.
***In the event of a flaker situation, the hostess will swap out cards intended for the missing player. You might receive a card that wasn't your chosen topic, but you will receive your full allotment of cards for each spot you take.***
Mailing: Please send your cards in a baggie and include a self-addressed stamped envelope for cards to be returned to you. The amount of postage on your SASE should be at least the same amount that it takes to mail your cards to me and you need to use US postage stamps. NO meter strips or Click N Ship labels, and NO foreign postage please.
Include additional postage in case the cards coming back to you are heavier than the ones you send to me. Extra postage will be returned if not used. Canadian and non-USA participants may include US currency in lieu of postage.
PM me for the mailing address when you are ready to send. Have fun!

Hey Paulette - Do you have a zebra striped bikini to go with that purple hat of yours? You might have to slip it on to go find Sybil and Jen......and Loretta...and Deb.....
Who else is missing? LOL I'll bet they're all trying to find new bathing suits.
Can I join group 1 - "On a Picnic" and group 2 - "charm me" (any theme, but must have a charm) and another group - "amber waves of grain" (could mean actual crops or patriotic).

Good morning everyone
I like the aquatic theme.....Beach Bum for superjen - adding it now. I put you in Group 3 with Marilyn so she isn't swimming alone. You know how it is, safety first!
Hi Arlene Welcome aboard! I'm adding your categories now as well. Put on you sunscreen and shades and have fun.
Now here are some fun water topics if your out there lurking and trying to come up with something fun. How about.....
There's a Shark in the Water (no fish involved)
Just Keep Bailing
Ahoy Matey
Anchors Away
Does This Suit Make Me Look Fat?
Flotation Devices
Sand Castles
Question of the Day....What color is your bathing suit?
Swim suit.. I have more than one. Blue floral w/ skirt is the one I wore most recently. But that was in Feb. Good to see a few more joining the party. Janice... Can I have a double? It's been a rough weekend.
Well I was in the PAT 22. Not sure what people thought of mine since it was my first time with this type of project. I also didn't have my full sash to work with but I would if I joined this one....hmmm not sure what to do.

Well, since you'll have all your toys, I think you just need to come up with a few rockin' topics and pick a group or two to join. We love all kinds of arty goodness, so show us what you've got!
Woo hoo! I have been waiting for this to open.
Can I please have a spot in Group 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6?
Group 1 = "art of Suzy Toronto"
Group 2 = "Steampunk"
Group 4 = "Beer Garden"
Group 5 = "bright, colorful crosses"
Group 6 = "Inspirational"
Thanks!
