Christmas in July Card & ATC

I know I can't be the only one who has a handful of "leftover" cards from last Christmas. You know what I'm talking about... The extra store-bought or handmade cards you had for the 2007 (or earlier) holidays but didn't use.

Well, it's time to put them to good use! Take your "extras" and send them for this Christmas in July greeting card & ATC swap. Write a short note in the card for each of your 3 partners. You should include at least 1 ATC for your partners as well. ATCs should be Christmas/Holiday themed. Bonus if you use an old card (or one you received) and alter it for the ATC. Remember, ATCs are 2.5x3.5 inches. Please also include a mystery item for your swap partners.

You should have plenty of time for this swap, as it's not due until July. Last day to sign up is July 7 and they must be sent by July 15 so they'll hopefully get to your partners by July 25!

RATING Your partners should get a 5 rating if they send you a card and an ATC that are holiday themed and mail by July 15. Lower ratings should only be for no-sends. Hearts for extra effort.

INTERNATIONAL This is an international swap, so be prepared to send your cards overseas.

MY SWAP, MY RULES Blah Blah Blah. Newbies welcome with complete profiles. No recent no-sends. I reserve the right to ban anyone at anytime for any reason.

RELIGIOUS If you are offended by religious cards, this is not the swap for you. I am not requiring the items to be religious or to be non-religious. It is sender's choice to make this religious (Christian or other) or secular. All religions, denominations, etc. are welcome. That means these cards/ATCs could have anything from baby Jesus to a dradel or a snowman.

Reminder:

• Send each of your three partners 1 card (3 cards total)

• Include at least 1 ATC for each partner (3 ATCs total)

• Include a mystery holiday item. (Sender's choice... but try to include something your partner would like). You do not have to go out and buy something. Maybe it's a couple postcards or extra ATCs. Think of it as a little present.

• Mail your items no later than July 15 so your partners get them before Christmas in July (July 25!)

Happy Holidays!
