I'm with LMM< do we have to use sleeves, where do you get them?

Umm well to answer the sleeves question, I always send my ATCs in a sleeve these days, I couldnt find any here, (In AUSSIE) but got them on US Ebay. Maybe others can help with the . Where do we buy sleeves question???

I guess its up to you, maybe wrap them or make an ATC size envie

I always send my ATCs in a self made envie. There are some examples to find in the www. Just google.

I have an other question: i did my background first (e.g. watercolor paper) then cut ATC size and glue it on cardboard. So my question: do we have to make the background on cardboard or do we send background paper ATC size?

Hope you understand my question ...

I am thinking that the backgrounds should be right ready to use. so yes have the backing on them

Are all 5 backgrounds to be the same?

neca84 06/ 3/2008 #

well I know I would love to receive 5 different ones, depends on what you want to send I guess, as long as you would be happy to receive what you send :)

I get my sleeves at a baseball card/comic collectors shop--they are called penny sleeves as they are about a penny a piece--you can get heavier ones but they are more expensive and dont fit into my book--My book is a notebook holding my atcs usinga collector card sheets holding the cards and is 3 holed on the side to fit into a standard notebook/binder--this way I show my cards to everyone like a coffee table book--sparking much discussion, and encouraging others to check out swap bot!
