The United States 50 State ATC Challenge #9

Oooo another year long swap (after my US Presidents Swap). I must be insane! But these are fun and you aren't commited to every month, you can join on just those months you want to. Due in the month of September are the following states: NORTH DAKOTA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, OREGON.

Each ATC must be 2 1/2 X 3 1/2" (standard playing card size). Made from a card, cardboard, or heavy paper stock - nothing flimsy (most you already know this).

Each card can be of any media, provided it took some time to make & is your own work. Something you'd be very happy to receive yourself.

Don't forget to provide your name, title of swap, swap-bot nickname, and date created on reverse. Also which State that card is.

You will have only one partner each month you participate. When we're through, if you stay from beginning to end, you'll have a set of all 50 US States.

No newbies, no persons with disparaging ratings (based on no sends, partial sends or habitual lateness), and you must courteouly rate those who have invested time in making ATCs for you.

I don't want to put too many requirements on the cards themselves, that might inhibit your creativity, but do make certain that the artwork does in fact portray something "unique" to that state.

I really look forward to this swap! I hope you all will consider giving it a try!!!

For HEARTS consider stickers and ephermia, but also consider doing one of the United States' Commonwealths & Territories for a truly complete set: AMERICAN SAMOA, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, FEDERAL STATES OF MICRONESIA, GUAM, NORTH MARIANAS, PUERTO RICO, VIRGIN ISLANDS.
