I did my cards last night and I loved them through step 3 (I used the bottom of a bandaid tin dipped in acrylic). Once I started adding the magazine pages I didn't love them so much anymore. Now I'm in the process of adding more paint. I think I'll start with magazine bits and collage bits first for the next batch, then add paint, then words, then repeating pattern. Thanks for the push to try it ginm! I'm always happiest covered in paint!

Far your cards are going to weigh a ton if you keep on adding..haha...it is great how creativity develops throughout the process! warm wishes, about to make a start on my cards!

Okay I have a question...You do not put this card in an envelope right? The idea is for art to go through the mail uncovered? It sounds fun count me in!

Yeeehaaw! Naked Mail Art!

I got inspired last night after all the kids went to bed and made all five of them..I am happy with how they turned out and now all I need is my partners! I wish I would have been able to make an extra for myself but a pic. will have to do. Hurry, Hurry!

I received my first card from blue faery today and sent mine out to Darlene w, Ellen,Paisleybabe,Diamond and starwatcher. Hope you enjoy them!

wackystuff - just received it today - thanks!

I received mine from the Blue Faery also. THanks! :)

sparklebluefaery - I received your awesome card yesterday! Thank you so much! :)

AArrgghh..I put mine in the mail this morning, but forgot to take pictures first!

I have recd 3 great cards so far..

Thanks to: Wackystuff-neat idea to attach ATC's right to the postcard!..and I love the fish stamp

Victoria-brightly colored with skulls on a cereal box.

Marlene-autumn flavored card with a red leaf and copper touches.

I received a really fantastic postcard from Valarie today. It is collaged and painted on both sides with labels, rubber stamped images, paper reinforcements, and a bingo piece - all attached to a cardboard postcard. Incredible work of art! Thanks so much! A diffeent screen name was not given and I didn't see Valarie on our list, but I did want her to know I think this card is GREAT!

Mine have been fed to Canada Post today so heads up to sparklebluefaery, TiaBel, creativity, beautyfulcreature and neonmarshmallow.

Hi starwatcher, Thank you for the kind words! I realized after I dropped them into the mailbox that I had only put my real name. So just for fyi it's creativity aka valarie. Did the clear hangy thing make it through the mail??

sparklebluefaery, I recieved your neato card!

thanks, diamondX (I hope I have the right name....) for your art mail...It would have been interesting to see if it would have made it by mail!

Thanks!

Marlene

Ginm, Diamond, Starwatcher, Victoria and Darlene_w, I have finished my cards, they're going to post first thing Monday am. Sorry to be lagging to the end of the time - swap overload! lol

Thanks, Ginm!

This was such a fun project. I'm loving the cards I've received so far from Tryph and FarStarr.

I (mostly) followed the instructions in the book and I learned to be more spontaneous in my use of color. It was great!

Creativity, No. There was a spot that looked like something had been torn off but I had no idea what it was. I'll try to scan the card tomorrow and you can see what made it and what didn't. I was surprized that anything attached could go through the system - like the bingo marker. Incredible!

Hey everyone. In the midst of moving my craft room I didn't get these mailed out until today. I'm usually early, not late so please be patient with me. Thank you!!! (They're worth the wait. lol)

FarStarr - thanks! I just got it today. I love the colours.

Hi Belen, I got your fun card yesterday...thanks so much!

Thanks ginm, I received my funky card yesterday.

I received fabulous cards from TiaBel, sparklebluefaery, Neonmarshmallow and creativity! Thank you all so much for such awesome cards! I totally loved them all!!! :)
