CLOSED = MAY! Monthly ATC Swap

[sarah]

These will be due May 31st!

The theme:

Renaissance

Now, this can be interpreted many different ways- literally - figuratively - however you want to do it. It was a movement in history, it is a word that has an actual definition - heck, it's a fair that's held here every year in August LOL!

I hope you are feeling it!!!

Have fun with this one!

Hi, Sarah!

May I join, too? Are there any special requirements for the Monthly ATC Swap...i.e. - is there a certain number of embellishments, etc that need to be used?

I LOVE the Renaissance time period...this is going to be fun!

Oh, and girls - if anyone is looking for some inspriation on this:

I went to ebay yesterday and typed in "vintage image CD" in the search and found this really cool company who puts all kinds of images on CD. I found 4 that i thought were pretty awesome actually, and I am hoping they all arrive soon because i think there are some cool paintings on one of them that will be perfect for this swap!

they range in subject matter from vintage nudes to old pinups to old masters paintings to american indians to stock landscape and animal photography, and have anywhere from 400 to 2000 images on them. The vintage nudes one i got says it has 10,000 images (but I am waiting to see if that is a typo and there is a 1000!).

I'll post in the product review once i get them, and will let you know how they look but i am pretty excited to get them and see all the new material i wil lhave to work with for ATCs!

ACK! the first idea was a bust and the second I've had to baggie for a bit as not sure if like it either ---- I bought a sheet of paper today that I "thought" migth work for a third go round.

[aprilrhyno]

I was stumped for a while!! I didn't really understand the theme at first, so I got a quick history lesson thru google LOL. (I don't really know alot about history--never passed that in school)
I think I have a good understanding now and even have an image and some materials set aside, I just have to put it all together

I hope it works out!! Good luck Liz with the third go

[sarah]

This is a tough, but fun one - I'm actually going with the dictionary definition of this one (not the historical aspect). I'm on an atc role, so I'm going to run with this one!!!
