Description:

I don't know about anyone else, but I've been so intrigued by all the ATC swaps and have never joined them until just recently. They always have such cool themes... but sometimes I worry I am not doing them right. So, this is for people new to ATCs or just new to Swap-bot. I will only ban you from the swap if you have a poor rating. Newbies, please make sure you have a full profile! :)

There's no theme to this swap. Feel free to do collage or cater the ATC to your partner's profile. Just make sure they're 2.5 x 3.5 inches.

Everyone will have 2 partners and should send 1 ATC to each partner. So that's just 2 ATCs a person.

Let me know if you have any questions or if I missed something.

I'm not new to papercrafts, but I really don't think even a newbie can create a "bad" card. I'm an ATC addict. Once you start you'll need the ATCaholic's hotline.

This will be my first ATC to make. I am so worried I am gonna do it wrong.

swtgagrl29, don't worry! if you put your heart into it, and do the best you can, it'll be great. don't worry about doing something super complicated, simplicity is nice....you'll do fine. Check out my flickr page, and you'll see ATCs from simple to detailed, and don't get overwhelmed! susi

hey that's why this swap was created... for everyone who wanted to try ATCs but who was scared to do it. I've done a few now (check out my flickr). I'll be posting some i rec'd soon, too!

Susi 03/25/2008 #

I just noticed something... Is it one ATC per person or 2? I am assuming it's 2 for both. Is that right?

poisoncupcakes 03/27/2008 #

I think it says that one card goes to each swap partner

I am new to this. Do you send us our partners contact info? Jan

Hi, I had the heart to sign up for this swap because I liked the announcement and I never did a swap before - but I don't know whether you like to trade with someone from Europe ... I would be happy if I could join your swap!

Susi 03/30/2008 #

back again with my question. She does say one atc per person, but if you read further it says this:

"Everyone will have 2 partners and should send 1 ATC to each partner. So that's just 2 ATCs a person. "

first she says 1 atc to each partner, that she says two ATCs a person. Now I do understand, it just means that each player send out a total of two ATCs....

Cofused and confuzzled as usual! LOL

PS: rutaaura, I love to trade ATCs overseas, so if I get you as a partner, I have no problem with it at all!

howunremarkable 03/30/2008 #

By two ATCs a person, I think she means each individual (i.e. you or me) will create two ATCs total. So "a person" is referring to you.

So if I'm understanding correctly, one ATC to each of two partners.

Rutaaura 03/31/2008 #

Hi Susi, great, I would be happy to trade with you! (Especially as my name is Susanne ... that fits well, I think ;-)))) I also understood the "2 ATC for each person" referring to the artist - each of us has to create two ATC and send each to one person.

amybelle 03/31/2008 #

alrighty everyone! sorry i haven't been active. I've been out of town for 5 days. I will get home tomorrow but wanted to address a couple questions. Each person only has to make 2 TWO 2 ATCs. One 1 One for each partner. You'll send 2 and get 2.

this is an international swap, so europeans are more than welcome (as are any country of origin).

Please post any questions here or PM me if things are still confusing.

I will be assigning partners tomorrow by midnight CDT so look for an email about that tomorrow.

If you're new to swap-bot and have questions about the partnering process, check out the FAQ section.

Remember, there's NO theme to this swap so ATCs can be about ANYTHING!!!

Happy swapping!!!
