Trash to Treasure swap Challenge

This swap should be a lot of fun, if we all play fair and keep our commitments.

You get rated for doing part ONE of this swap. There is no way to rate that you kept part 2 of this swap. This works on the honor system. Because partner cannot give you a rating, he or she should place a "thank you" comment on your profile.

Part 1: Take a 6x9 padded or manilla envelope and fill it with your unwanted ATC/ APC items. This is not really Trash, do not reach into your trash bin. This is for items that you just can not find a creative use for them in our art. What to send? flat game pieces, puzzle pieces, Paper that is at least 3.5 inches, ribbon, fibers, embellishments, tissue paper, stamped images, cut out images, punches, a few odd stickers, upcycled items, cut up greeting or note cards, canceled stamps, ephemera.

Include in your packet 1 Self addressed envelope or note card with SA envelope. A postage stamp is not necessary, as we will all be paying return postage. Besides your mailing address, write the swap name on your envelope on the front or back, so the person getting the envelope remembers what it is for. Yes, it happens to the best of us.

PART 2: Once you get your 6x9 envelope. Make 2 cards for your partner, do your best work, and make a few cards for yourself to trade or keep. Use at least 2 items on each card. Send them back in the included Envelope, add a stamp. If you want to add on the back of card which 2 items you used on each card, I am sure the sender would appreciate that. Add some contact info to the back of your cards.

It is senders choice on what to send in the 6 x9 packet, but it is also sender choice on what cards and themes to return to you. Sure you can look at you packet senders profile, that is always heart worthy. You have until Jan 25th to return to finished cards to your sending partner.

This packet should not cost more than $1.69 to mail up to 3 oz of "trash". I use paypal multi shipping and I get a free DC=Delivery confirmation number. It would be wise for each person to use DC and to PM the DC to the person you are sending the packet to when you mail.

This is USA only because a 3 or 4 oz package over seas cost about $12 and no atc card is worth that amount.

Please let me know if you have any issues with your partner for either part. I will help.
