newbie and non artist ATC #7

Thank you to all the people who joined the past swaps. The next paragraph is the same to help the new participants to understand the idea behind the swap. If you have joined before you can skip the paragraph, it is the same.

NEW RULE: You must have a well filled out profile, "BEFORE" partners are assigned. "WELL filled out means more than one paragraph." No profile you will be banned.

Have you ever spent time and effort to make your ATC only to receive an ATC from your partner that put yours to shame? Have you ever felt like not making ATCs anymore because you don't think you can make yours to the caliber of others? Ever send an ATC and when you receive your partners you wish your name would fall off the one you sent? Have never made an ATC before? This swap is for you. I want to make this swap where you do not have to be under stress to make a picture perfect one. Now of course that does not mean you don't put time and effort into it.

If your ATC can be sold at an art auction you are still welcome to join but remember your partner may be a newbie. Don't complain about their work unless it is very obvious they put no time into it.

Very simple rules, make the ATC standard size. 2.5 x 3.5, medium and theme is up to the maker. Stickers are very much permitted if you can incorporate it into the theme but no sticker slapping. In other words you must do more than put stickers on a backing. """ALSO: printing off a picture from the internet and pasting it on cardboard is not an ATC.""""

I will be checking profiles and no unexplained 1s or 3s. ""NO recent 1s"" If for whatever reason you cannot send your ATC email your partner. Do not rate 1s or 3s without PMing your partner first. Please email me if you have any questions. I will angle if necessary, but it won't be, right.

You can start to make your ATC now. Please look forward and realize the holidays are upon us. The deadline will be around (US) Thanksgiving so if you feel your life will be to hectic to get your swap out on time you may not want to join.
