Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.
Here’s a bit of the info from the Swap Specs (that’s a link to the Yahoo Group, where you can also sign up for the swap):
Make 3 embellished Steampunk-themed ATCs and receive 3 in return, all by different artists! Think fabulously mechanical-Victorian Steampunk! Cogs, gears,
clock faces, watch parts, springs, wings, screw-heads, coils, and more! Sign up by April 18th; artwork due to hostess Teri Calia NO LATER THAN May 15th.
Fabulous sample artwork by Wendy Anderson (left) and Design Team Member Kristin Batsel (right).

Distress Ink Pads & Reinkers: 10 New Colors
Distress Inks by Tim Holtz are perfect for adding a vintage, stained, or aged effect to your paper/collage projects. These hand-selected colors were developed to produce a realistic, weathered look on paper, photos and decorative fibers. Raised 2″ x 2″ quality felt stamp pads and coordinating reinkers (definitely not just for reinking an ink pad).
Tim Holtz Shabby French Cling-Mounted Stamp Set
Collaged stamps including a crown, a chandelier, butterflies, a bird, wildflowers, a Paris postage cancellation, a French chocolate label, and multiple vintage text images. Eleven (11) separate cling-mounted stamps. Comes on a plastic sheet (for storage). Overall size is 7″ x 8-1/2″.
Brown Vintage Banners Rub-ons
8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of rub-ons with beautiful banners (& birds). Hand silk-screened.
Cameo Roses – Mandarin
Beautiful, small (1/2″ diameter) red mulberry paper roses. The shades vary from light to dark so you can arrange a few together and they’ll have a more realistic look. Very pretty.
