Hi! I live in NJ, USA. I have a huge ATC collection that I’m always looking to add to. Please no overtly religious or political cards. Also I store my cards in baseball card sleeves in a binder, so no bulky or movable (i.e. ones that open or pop-up) cards, please.

I am scent-sensitive (i.e. cigarette smoke, perfume, etc. bother my nose).

*Themes I’m collecting in all mediums, so do whatever you’re best at (hand drawn, mixed media, stamped, collage, digital, whatever):

-gargoyles
-Australia
-Canada
-England/ UK
-a mixed media card with a vintage photo somewhere on it
-the TV shoe Endeavour
-the TV show Pushing Daisies
-the Canadian TV show X Company
-the TV show Justified, particularly the characters Tim and Raylan
-the British TV show Brassic

*Themes I’d prefer hand drawn cards for:

-sloth
-llama
-moose
-bear
-frog
-a whimsical or goth (or whimsically goth…) Little Red Riding Hood
-a whimsical fairy
-a jester
-Henry Foss from the TV show Sanctuary
-The Hunger Games (prefer your own version of the characters/ scenes based on the books, rather than based on the movie actors)
-any character from Umbrella Academy (the Netflix series, not the comic book version)
-any character from the TV show The Office (US version-- so far I have Michael and Dwight)

I’m Megan in Indiana, USA. I welcome cards from all skill/experience levels! Nothing political, preachy, Covid-related, or shedding glitter, please. I’m not a fan of vulgarity for vulgarity’s sake, but if you’ve got a great quotation you want to use with a swear word or something in it, go for it. (Except the c-word; no time for that.) I’ve started keeping my cards in sleeves in a binder, so I appreciate low bulk, but that’s not a deal-breaker.

Here are my themes this month:

-Something for my TV Sleuths collection! Send me your fave, or I can provide a list of some of mine.
-artist’s choice
-hot air balloons
-birdcages – empty, or holding something other than a bird
-time machines
-Hufflepuff/Huffleclaw pride (Hufflepuff with strong Ravenclaw tendencies here)
-found poetry/caption
-sweary Lisa Frank (obviously, profanity definitely okay here . If in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask)
-trivia
-something inspired by my papercraft Pinterest board (but non-paper interpretations are welcome): https://www.pinterest.com/meganknoll/papercraft-inspiration/
-Pride & Prejudice – I read the book for the first time last year and am currently working my way through the Jennifer Ehle/Colin Firth adaptation (also for the first time)
