Welcome to I ♥heart♥ mail art - March!

Who doesn't love to receive a lovely decorated envie in their mailbox? This swap is for all those who love to display their art on the outside of envelopes for the world to see and enjoy!

So go grab your ink, paint, markers, pens, pencils, charcoal, stickers, glitter, glue, fabric, tape & imagination and get busy! Decorate that envie!

Each swap participant is to decorate one envelope for one partner.

Please put your best effort into this --- send something you would LOVE LOVE LOVE to receive!

It's always nice to check out your partner's profile for ideas on likes/dislikes – but it is sender's choice.

Minimum envelope size is standard greeting-card sized envelope (approx. 6.5 inches x 4.5 inches (16.5cm x 11.5cm), however, anything larger is even better!

To make this swap extra-special, include a small goodie tucked inside the envie ....maybe a postcard, some stationary, your favorite poem or recipe....anything you think your partner will enjoy. You can also check out your partner's profile for a small special item you know they will love --- it's entirely up to the sender.

You will have two weeks to create and send your mail art envie.

The key is to be creative.....let your imagination fly & your inner artist shine!

Please include a note inside the envie indicating the swap name, and your swap user ID.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

● Must be rated a 4.95 or better

● Open to newbies (unrated swappers) with a well filled-out profile --- this is your opportunity to get some great ratings (and beautiful artwork)!

● No 1s or recent / unexplained 3s

I am truly hopeful everyone who joins will honour their swap and not flake on their partner. However, I will angel any and all flakers, once you have rated them a 1.

If you have any questions, please PM me.

HAPPY SWAPPING!!!!

p.s. the fabulous image at the top of this page was mailart that was sent to me by the wonderfully talented and creative @MissMillie Thanks, MissMillie! :)

I just have one question, are we mailing our envelope in another envelope or are we sending it postmarked and stamped? I would like to participate, but want to be clear on what I'm doing...Sorry...and thanks.

Justene 02/22/2012 #

Hi @whytewillow : You are to decorate one envelope (with all your heart!), apply postage and mail it to your partner! (all other details are listed above) I hope you join in! :)

Justene 03/ 2/2012 #

Hi @Tessemasgirl : Once you join the swap, you will be assigned a partner after the deadline. The deadline for signup is March 12. So on the morning of March 13, partners will be assigned at random. Check here on the swap page on March 13 and in the upper right hand corner there will be an option to click on that says 'see the partner you send to'. Just click on it and it will display the name, user id and address of your partner! So glad you joined! :)

I love mail art. Once the send by date is closer, I want in!

And since it is nearly a week away, I may go insane.

With regret I need to drop from this swap as I have had a death in the family and need to travel to Oregon to be with other family members, will not have time to do justice and fullfill the requirements. Thanks go to the sponser and hope I can find a similiar swap when I return.

Justene 03/ 4/2012 #

@debca : I'm so very sorry to hear of your tragic news. My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family. You are always more than welcome to join my swaps....if you are interested in the mailart swaps, I run them every month. Take care and hope to meet you in the mail soon.
