March Pick-a-Theme ATCs
Swap Coordinator:user5207 (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Art  Artist Trading Card (ATC) 
Number of people in swap:20
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:March 5, 2007
Date items must be sent by:March 31, 2007
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

Do you collect ATCs of certain topic? Do you see a theme emerging among your collection and would like to have some more cards representing it? Is one page in your folder missing a mermaid, rainy scene or bright colored flower?

If so, then this swap is your chance to get ATCs from the themes you have picked out yourself.

Every participant lists 5 themes they would like to see on the ATCs they receive from their swap partners. Five themes, so that the partners have some choice in the matter too :) You can either post the themes you desire here or you can send messages to one another when you know who you are sending to.

You will make 2 ATCs for 2 different people from the themes they have listed. Both of them can be in the same theme or you can pick two different ones from your partner's list. The lists can be as specific (pink elephants, red umbrellas...) or as vague (something green, something dotty) as you like. After all it is your choice.

The ATCs can be made using any medium you prefer. They must be standard ATC size, which is 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (64 x 89mm). You can create the cards on regular playing cards (provided they are the right size) or on regular trading cards or on your own choice of material. I've used cardboard packaging, sturdy letters and watercolor paper among many other possible choices. You may use as much or as little embellishments on your cards as you like. Just keep in mind that the final product should still be flat enough to fit in the standard trading card sleeves.

To recap:

  1. Everyone makes list of 5 themes they want to see on the ATCs they will receive and finds out the themes their partners want to have on their cards.

  2. Everyone makes 2 ATCs for their 2 partners on their themes of choice. That makes it 4 ATCs in total.

  3. Everyone receives 2 ATCs from the themes of their choice from 2 different partners.

This swap is International.Please don't join if you can't afford the postage.

Everyone with a rating over 4 is welcome as well as newbies with fully written profiles. If you have 'no sends' please message me what's the status on those and we'll see what we can do. I want everyone to receive their cards in the end.

If you are new to ATCs but would like to join, don't hesitate. I'll help you get started :)

So, I guess my partner on here's profile and info and stuff was deleted. I don't know why. So do I just not send her one?

Cards are on their way over the ocean to boatingbelle & grannystamper.

sojourner 03/18/2007 #

Wish we could see messages sent with swapbot as well as those received. Lost track of who I had contacted and those I haven't. Will suggest it to swapbot. If you agree, contact them also. Maybe it will happen some day.

sojourner 03/18/2007 #

Update on messages. Reply from swapbot indicates they are already working on us being able to see sent messages. I guess it's a case be patient and it will happen !

user3610 03/19/2007 #

Kim Your ATc's are on their way to you....hope you like.

I did NOT mail to Ashely, she deleted her profile and will NOT answer any of my emails about the swap. Why do people do that? What has happened to common courtesy?

Marti

boatingbelle 03/19/2007 #

I have some cards to send to Ashley on another swap. I noticed her profile had been deleted but have not tried to contact her. I will hang on to these cards for a while.

boatingbelle 03/19/2007 #

Have just had another look and Asley D's (love anatomy) profile is there. Are we talking about another Ashley? If so I apologise for my previous message.

user5207 03/20/2007 #

I'm just letting you all know that if any of your partners disappear and you don't get your cards, please let me know and I'll see what I can do :)

boatingbelle 03/23/2007 #

Thank you, thank you, thank you Anne for such a lovely pair of cards - and the extra bits. I'll have to look out for a suitable swap so I can use the canvas. I love your pen and ink drawing, although I do a lot of crafty stuff I have never been able to master drawing or painting. I envy you your talent. Regards, Margot.
