Description:

Let's make an ATC that reflects something you wish for or have wished for in the past. It really can be anything: a new pet, a house, great job, a partner/wedding, baby, chocolate, more $, flowers, spa day, hot air balloon ride, new furniture, peace on earth, great report card (yours or your kid's), no taxes, a really good burger, whatever makes you happy, big or small! If it isn't obvious, explain your wish on the back. This is not a TRADE. YOU must make this ATC. (You don't even want to know why I had to add that!)

This is Spoiled Swappers. So as a REQUIREMENT, please include a little wish from your partner's profile. Maybe $1-2 value. Something from the dollar store (nice!), some craft stuff from your stash (new), a small treat, tea, drink packets, a card, bookmark or ATC you made etc.

*Please use at least 1 layer on top of the base and 2 embellishments on the main area of your ATC. Please use ALL quality items to make this ATC.

*Stickers, AS ACCENTS, should be limited to high quality scrapbooking or card making stickers, not the kind meant for kids or teacher’s reward stickers.

*If you use rubber stamping; please stamp cleanly, missed areas or double lines are not acceptable. No magazine cut outs or computer generated images please (unless they are impeccable quality and you can't tell they were printed on the computer).

*Please make a beautiful ATC you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive. Make sure your work is clean and precise. No glue should show and straight cuts need to be straight.

*Please don't be discouraged by my rules. I am only referring to general tidy practices, not tiny flaws. I've received a card so saturated with glue I could knock on it and get hollow noises! I've received a note book with edges that looked like they had been cut with a saw! I just expect tidy work!

*Please check your partner’s profile for dislikes and avoid those. For instance, do not use emerald green, any fluorescent or bright orange on mine because I hate those colours.

*I will ban anyone with a poor profile because of the wish component so be sure you have some wishes or favourites listed.

*Please have a 4.97+ rating to join and no 1's EVER or 3's in the last 6 months. I will accept explanations of course, PM me ahead of the sign up deadline. Newbies are welcome with WELL FILLED out profiles (About Me, Likes, Dislikes at least) and MUST PM me at least 3 days before the end of the swap to show good intentions. A newbie is someone with less than 5 completed and rated type 2 or 3 swaps. If you have an EXPLAINED 1 or 3, you have to PM 3 days ahead also or I will automatically ban you. If you see a flaker has joined, don't worry, I will weed them out. If you are really worried, give me a heads up! I’ve been flaked on so many times, I've stopped keeping track, so I get it!

Enjoy! Rebecca

I'm a bit confused - In the first paragraph, the instructions are to make something I wish for or wished for. Then you indicate this is not a "trade"? Isn't trade the same as swap?

If I wished for a golden retriever and my partner hates dogs, I can't really make the ATC I want. It sounds like I need to make the ATC the way my partner wants. Sorry - easily confused.

I think she means you cannot trade cards other people have made. You must make your own card about whatever your own wish is.

Thanks Gofeen. That is what I meant.

In addition, avoiding your partner's dislikes usually leaves TONS of options open for you. For instance, if your partner is deathly afraid of dogs, don't send her that. I got a bookmark one time with a Photo, not just an artist's illustration, of a massive spider and I am seriously arachnophobic. Creeped me out for days and went in the garbage pronto. I've only once had to change what I had planned to do in all my swaps. Once I was going to use a vintage image and the person said they didn't like vintage. As that is more of a category than a specific thing, it doesn't count in my opinion but I honored it anyway.

This is spoiled Swappers and we aren't spoiling if we send something our partner dislikes.
