Description:

Thanks to everyone who joins my swaps, I try to be a fair coordinator who gives everyone a chance. I also angel my own swaps, so just incase a flaker falls through the cracks...no worries - you will get your cards.

ANYWAY!!!

My other colored ATC swaps went over so well, and since I have them under my belt, I will go with my next favorite color - PURPLE! We're pretty much talking the same swap, but with purple as the main color.

For this swap you will create 2 ATC's for each of 2 partners (4 ATC's total, standard 2.5x3.5 size).

The ATC can be whatever you want it to be, any media, or design, but it must be AT LEAST 75% purple (I understand that something that is "just purple" could be difficult, and possibly uninteresting, so you can have 25% of other colors) As far as the "purple" any shade will work, violet, lavender, eggplant, etc...

This swap is open to ANYONE with a completely filled out profile, and no, no-sends (1 rating) in the last 2 months. I will not ban people until I assign partners, so if you currently are fighting a 1 rating, you have plenty of time to get it resolved.

Please send me a message if you have any questions.

Thanks, and Happy Swapping.

PS. Here are the rates (generally) to mail to ATC's (from the US, 2 ounces, rigid envie)

US .79

Canada $1.16

Everywhere else $1.94

Hi, this is my second swap on this board (I just found it). I made some ATC for the other swap last night and I loved doing it. I have hosted numerous swaps on other boards so you don't have to worry about me flaking! Can't wait to do this! Purple is one of my favorite colors.

THANKS for including postage rates on your info! I'm in for the other coloured ATCs and this helps so much!

If you check out the links, and read the little article I wrote, you'll see how much more than just a piece of decorated cardboard they can be! Cyn :)

Postage note: I've had fine success sending flat photo, paintings, collage or digital ATCs in a regular notecard envelope, tucked into a notecard with the swap info on it. It's only 42 cents in the US and cheaper to send outside, too.

Of course, if you add embellishments that may get jostled off, or are thicker than 1/4 inch, then you need to send it in a bubble wrap--that raises the cost to $1.13-1.30 in the US, and more outside accordingly.

Just wondering if you are going to assign partners.

jennyknitstoo 08/ 2/2008 #

Hello Everyone, I sent an email yesterday stating I wouldn't be assigning partners before today. I'm about half way going through profiles...I'll assign when I'm finished.

Thanks

I have a question. Is it okay to do this swap using PSP? That is if I design it on PSP and print it.

FloridaGirl: The directions above say any mediums are allowed. When I do ATC swaps that have more than one per partner, I try to make a variety of styles, mediums, etc, I often make photo ATCs, and digital painting ATCs, but often combine them with a mixed media one just to have that variety, unless my partner says they'd like two of a kind.
