Description:

Are you a music lover? Did you ever hear a line from a song and think, "This would make an awesome ATC!"? Then this swap is for you! This is a 2-for-2 swap, meaning you make two and you get two. You'll only have one partner on this swap. The swap is open to anyone and everyone - provided you have a decent rating. Anyone under a "4" will be dropped. Period. No one likes getting gypped out of art, do they? International swap friends always welcome! Who doesn't like getting mail from another country? Also, you may do any song you wish - pop, rock, country, opera, classical, rap, death metal, ska, punk, skater boi, grunge - you get the picture. The only thing I ask is that you keep it tasteful. An added bonus would be listing the song, artist, and an explanation as to why you chose that particular song.

Another courtesy - when you've received your cards from your 'swappie', I think it's always nice to let them know, either in the discussion board or by a short e-mail. It saves needless worry for those of us who care that our cards arrive safely at their destination!

I'm giving a long lead-in time because of the holiday aftermath. So go rest up and have fun making your cards! :)

Cheers, Mel

P.S Don't forget to rate your swap partner starting on February 22. This is great praise for all those fantastic people who send out their cards on time (and you ALL will, right?) :) It also helps to weed out those blue meanies who don't send. Let's get them OUTTA HERE!

Oh yeah - these are the standard sized ATCs - 2.5" X 3.5"

:)

wackystuff 12/21/2006 #

how many death metal songs are Ò€œtastefulÒ€??

mcall 12/21/2006 #

This could prove interesting. I'm up for it.

Mel 12/21/2006 #

Touche, wackystuff. But didn't Tony Bennett do a death metal album a couple years back? :)

moodytuner 12/22/2006 #

I apologize, sometimes my brain just refuses to kick into gear. Are the cards to be themed after the title of the song, or, just a line from the song, or, either? Sounds fun anyway you slice it.

Mel 12/22/2006 #

Hi Moody,

You may either do song title or lyrics. Sometimes it's both! But really, it's entirely up to you. But you do have to have fun - that's a requirement. :)

Mel 12/28/2006 #

Yay! Glad to see there's 20 of us - do you think that we can make it into the top 10?!

Mel 12/30/2006 #

Our swap is slowly growing! Thanks to all of you who signed up for my very first swap! I'm having so much fun with this, and I hope you are too!

user4946 01/ 4/2007 #

hey im totally up for it. could you, european buds, help me out here when it comes to atc sizes? how much is 2.5x3.5? damn those different measure systems ;)

Mel 01/ 5/2007 #

Hi Bohemian_felt,

In cms, it's 6.35 cm X 8.89 cm. But on my ruler, it just looks like 6X9.

Hope this helps! :) Welcome aboard!

thanx so much mel

thiswillbegone 01/ 5/2007 #

can the song lyrics be in a language other than English?

Mel 01/ 6/2007 #

Absolutely, Selise! In fact, if I were your swap partner, I'd be delighted to receive something from another culture.
This swap is all about music you really love - whether it be Italian opera, Middle Eastern music, Indian raga - it's completely up to you. Have fun! :)

thiswillbegone 01/ 7/2007 #

awesome! English is my 3rd language so I was going to pick from either Italian or Spanish.

Mel 01/ 7/2007 #

Fantastic!

Mel 01/11/2007 #

Hooray! We made it into the top ten! Thanks for signing up, everyone! :)

user5682 01/12/2007 #

hi! this is my 1st swap and im so exited! Was just wondering if we put the cards in an envelope or just post it like that? and do we decorate both sides? Sorry for being such a spaz sigh

Mel 01/12/2007 #

Hi Jasmine!

Welcome aboard! I know you'll soon be addicted to making these cards - I'm sure they'll be great!

Just a few hints - when mailing your cards, I'd put them in a small envelope, and then put that in a padded mailer. That way, they're protected during the long journey from Malaysia!

As far as decorating the cards, you only need to decorate the front. The back is used for your information - Name, date, name of the swap, and anything else you'd like to put on there.

Thanks for joining the swap!

user5682 01/15/2007 #

Thanks for your help =>

Mel 01/16/2007 #

Hey everyone!

We made it! I sent everyone an e-mail (addresses blocked), but I'd just like to thank you all again for joining the swap. It was nice chatting with some of you, and you can certainly e-mail me with questions you may have about the swap. Have fun corresponding with your 'swappie'!

Cheers, Mel

Mel 01/16/2007 #

Hi Poggy123 -

Your cards are on their way! I hope you like them!

Cheers! Mel

user5207 01/23/2007 #

Lin, your lovely cards arrived this morning :) Thank you!

Mel 01/27/2007 #

Hi everyone,

Well, we're about halfway through - hope you're all working on your cards, if you haven't sent them already!

Just a reminder - PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE be a good swapper! We all signed up with the intention of giving AND receiving cards - please don't disappoint someone!

If you simply cannot send your card in the alloted time (and this should be for a good reason), then by all means let your partner know that they'll be late! Better late than never.

Thanks for participating, and let's have 100% satisfaction on this swap!

Thanks again,

Mel

Hi Amanda, Thanks so much for your great swap. I loved the cards! You are one creative gal!! Again, Thanks for a great swap! Nancy(grannystamper)

ChristineMM 02/ 1/2007 #

"Dreamhope" your ATCs went out to you in Canada today, I am in CT USA. I hope you enjoy them.

Tainowoman 02/ 2/2007 #

Linda M~ Got your cards today! Thanks, they are awesome!

Mel 02/ 7/2007 #

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder - you only have a week until you must send your cards. For those of you who have sent already - great! Thanks a lot.

If you haven't sent out your cards yet - please make sure you do so by next Thursday! If you don't - expect an e-mail from me.

Thanks! Mel

Mel 02/16/2007 #

Hey everyone,

Just an update - as you can see, there are still 8 participants who have yet to send their cards. Swap-bot is down or something and won't let me get to their info, so I can't e-mail them, but I will.

If any of you are reading this - I implore you: PLEASE?!? Pretty please with cherries on top? PLEASE send your cards? I guarantee you'll feel bad if you get great cards in the mail and you don't send anything out in return. Just remember - the smallest deed is better than the grandest intention.

To those of you who did send! Yippee!!!! Thanks so much for being great swappers. I can't wait to hear more comments about the fun cards people will get or have gotten.

Thanks, Mel

Hi there...when do we leave feedback for our swap partners?

Tainowoman 02/18/2007 #

Something like a week after the swap due date.

Mel 02/18/2007 #

Hi squiggle,

You can start leaving feedback on February 22. There\'s a little button that will pop up that says, \"Leave feedback for partners\", and it will actually show who your partners are. If you haven\'t received your cards yet, this would be the time to send a message to them, preferably through swap.bot (you can do it through their profile). Perhaps they\'ve forgotten and this will remind them, or they\'ll let you know that they\'re on their way.
