Description:

The round 1 of this swap filled up super fast, so this is round 2. This is USA only again. If you signed up for round 1 please don't join this swap. Let some of the other player have a chance to play.

This swap has some limits and requirements. Please read carefully before you sign up. The sign up deadline is One week from today.

I have 14 envelopes with 3 same mystery items, of a Totally tacky nature. aka TTMI. These are not lewd or offensive but just tacky as far as creating atcs. When you get it you will see why it is tacky. You need to be the kind of person who take make a purse from a sow's ear.

This swap is limited to 14 players in good standing. I am player 15.

You will make 3 cards. One is for me as the hostess, and 1 for your two partners. I thought you would enjoy seeing the final results from 2 different artists.

If you get me a partner, I will include a different, 3rd TTMI image so I get 2 different cards, this is also so I don't overtax your creative muse.

Instead of you sending me a SASE to get the TTMI, I will send the 18 envelops out in good faith. Since you are required to send me a card as the hostess, please also include one forever stamp to reimburse me for postage. Thank you.

My mailing address will be on the envelope I send, but I will also include a return address label for your convenience.

*Each card must be ATC size, 2.5" x 3.5" inches and on a sturdy base, if it flap in the wind or can bend easily the backing isn't sturdy enough. Think chipboard, playing cards or 2 layers of sturdy cardstock.

About the TTMI, when I say use, I mean, yes you can rip it, paint it, turn it around backwards, modify it. But you must *use it somehow. Have fun! Please do NOT just slap the TTMI image onto a back ground. Use other mediums. Lace, borders, modeling paste, gesso, embellishments, ink, rubber stamps. etc.

You need to post in the comment area when you Envelope from me arrives.

You also need to post in the comment area when you receive your cards from your partners.

Players also have to understand and agree that I will be posting photos and links to the photos of the cards that they create in a flickr album. Players must understand and agree that the images may show up on the front page of swap-bot, as I will use a flickr.com tag on each card.

I will be getting 2 partners as well, I will enclose my finished cards to my 2 partners. Don't peek. Open it after you have finished your cards.

I will close this swap as soon as I get 14 swappers. If you are watching this swap, you will miss out. This means I will close the swap before the 25th, because it will fill up before then.

I have done these types of swaps before and they fill up fast, esp with over 400 folks in our group.

AZmom875 09/26/2017 #

Wednesday, your TTMI envelopes will go out. My two partners will also have a card from me inside. Partners sending to me, will have one different TTMI so they don't get creative block and can make a card for me as a partner and one for me as the hostess. Have fun.

You should all have a return address label, unless you can see my address as a partner. Please don't forget to send to me one Forever stamp to reimburse my mailings.

Pandd 10/ 7/2017 #

I have not received the TTMI #2 yet.

AZmom875 10/ 7/2017 #

Pandd, I hope you get it soon, I mailed it along time ago.

I got hostess cards from BeckyG56 and Yooperhill and posted photos in the flick account.

AZmom875 10/ 8/2017 #

Pandd, will you check your mail Tuesday and your past mail. You might have gotten this and not realized what it was for. I only wrote TTMI #2 on the edge of the envelope. I have extra to remail.

AZmom875 10/10/2017 #

I got a hostess card and a partner card from @KarenLaneWV today. Super work. Her cards can be seen with the rest that have arrived in my flickr album.

Pandd 10/10/2017 #

I have not gotten it. I open my mail everyday the minute I get it and have been watching for this ever since I signed up. It is not here. Not today either. Our mail did not come until 7 pm today and I thought for sure that I would receive it today, but did not happen. Pat💕💕

Pandd 10/11/2017 #

Still have not received anything from you. And from the pics I have seen on your flicker photos, I think I would remember that tacky stuff. Looks like fun! I do not think I am going to receive it I even went thru Jaminj’s eaters to make sure that it was not there. But sadly it wasn’t. So I guess you need to send it again Pat💕💕

Pandd 10/11/2017 #

Not her eaters, her letters. Gotta love this iPad!

Pandd 10/15/2017 #

I am so hoping that I receive something tomorrow. I am beginning to get a bit nervous.

Pandd 10/16/2017 #

I am nervous! Nothing here.

AZmom875 10/18/2017 #

Pandd a new envelope went out today. I will adjust the send out date for you on this swap if you need me to. I am sorry the first got lost. I am one of your senders, so a card for you is inside. Photo is on the flickr.com album. No surprise.

Pandd 10/21/2017 #

Got it today! Yeah

AZmom875 10/23/2017 #

I edited the send my date, because Pandd, got her envelope about two weeks later than the rest of you. I am not sending a PM to you all about the change, but hope you see this message here.

AZmom875 10/27/2017 #

Thank you @BusyB , your cards was super cute. Thank you for remembering to send the stamp to reimburse my original postage cost.

BusyB 10/30/2017 #
