Title: AIR16 Happy Mail Swap! Cards in mail Mon 6/20
Post by: Far North on June 10, 2016, 11:58:21 AM
 AIR16 Happy Mail Swap! Now open

After many events I end up with a card or a few that don’t match up with what I want to send family and friends in the near future. But I do love looking at the fine details on other stamper’s cards that I sometimes miss in a photo.  How about you…would you like to mail 1 of your AIR16 challenge cards as some happy mail to one of your AI pals?  Truly, Happy Mail from my AI pals is the BEST!

Challenge: You can select any card you have posted in an AIR16 challenge gallery to send your assigned AI recipient and please include a brief happy note either on the inside or an attached separate paper.

To play in this swap please post a note on this thread and plan to send your card to the person on the list above your name.  I will send my card to the last person signing the list so everyone will receive a card.

Timeline details:
1.  Swap closing deadline-Sign onto this swap with a note on the discussion thread no later than midnight your time on Fri. June 17.

2.  Write a pm to your recipient if you need their mailing address.

3.  All cards must be in the mail no later than Monday, June 20 midnight your time.  Please post a note on this thread when your card is in the mail.

When you receive your Happy Mail card please post a note on this discussion thread with a link to that card in the gallery.

Please post on this thread any questions/comments.

Thanks for considering this swap! …Jan

I would love to join this too!  In the fests, I often step out of my normal crafting zone, so who knows what I will end up sending!

Yes!  I'm in.  I almost missed this!  Is there somewhere in the AIR16 threads you can mention this in case there are others?

Thanks! I am glad you like it.  It was my Vintage Watercolor card. (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=89&pid=2684#top_display_media). I did think it looked brighter in person, but in order to photograph more detail, it looked a touch darker I thought.

So glad to hear the Happy Mail cards are arriving!  The last swap direction is a different from our standard way of sharing here so here's a reminder -"When you receive your Happy Mail card please post a note on this discussion thread with a link to the card you received in the gallery."  This way we can see which one you received....thanks!

I received This (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pid=2735#top_display_media) lovely card from Cindi today.  She was nice enough to send me the one she made for my Frame It challenge. 

The shine on the wings of the bee are really nice in person.  Also, it is larger than I thought it would be!

Thanks Cindi! I enjoyed your note too!

Your lighthouse card (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=89&pid=2709#top_display_media) arrived today...and it is even more wonderful in person!  As others have said it is fun to see them in person.  I like the raffia you added to this card. Thanks for sharing your card with me!...Jan

Glad you like it Jan! Sorry I didn't get a new picture of it. I actually matted the lighthouse on a light blue and then added raffia to the bottom of it. It did fancy it up a bit ;-)

I received the copy card Jan, made of Aprils. It is made on watercolor paper that I didn't see on line.
Really a nice card, and it is my favorite color Blue.  Thank you for the goodies too!
