Description:
This is the third in a series of card sketch challenges. Use the above sketch. It can be for any occasion; senders choice. Including an envelope would be nice, but is not a necessity. Send a card that an envelope can be found for, or easily made. If the card can't can't fit into a "regular" envelope, you CAN be marked down! Your partner can use this card for their own purposes, so no names inside, please. You MAY include a sentiment on the inside or outside or both. You MUST upload your card to the Flickr account I've created to show them off. You won't be rated until the card you sent is on the Flickr site! Don't forget to scan it or take a picture of it before you send it! If, however, this does happen, please ask your partner to upload it for you once it's received. If you can't do this (you don't have a scanner), please don't join. I'll give more details about this in the group forum. I plan on hosting one of these each month. I hope a lot of you are intrigued enough to join!

I have a comment about my statement that you can't be rated until your card is also uploaded to the Flickr account.

I like to be surprised, and appreciated my partner saying that she'd upload the card when I got it (for the surprise element), but she's forgotten to do it!

I don't know how to solve this issue. If I say that people can't rate until the card is up, then the surprise is gone. If I say that people can wait to upload their cards until their partner gets it, they could forget to upload it.

If I ask people to upload the cards they receive, will they?

Any suggestions?

Honestly, I don't know if there is a sure fire way to control it sadly. Because people DO forget sometimes. Happens to all of us, and yes I like to be surprised to. I guess the only thing you can do, is have them upload them before they send it out, and then those of us who want it to be a surprise, would just NOT go look on the Flickr pages until we receive. That way you can make it a requirement to an extent, and those who like surprises get them :) (I sent you a message abit ago regarding the Flickr group?)

Me too. I enjoy the challenge aspect of it. Gi es me an excuse to craft.

Thanks, everyone! I guess we can leave it the way it is for now. I thought of that too, @dabellaraquella but then remembered that it would be hard not to look, when uploading their own card. But, it could be done with strong willpower, lol.

Really glad you're enjoying the swaps - I have a lot of sketches so will be continuing to put these up while there's still interest. Thanks for saying.
