Description:
Do you have tons of postcards lying around and don't know what to do with them? How about turning them into ATCs! For this swap, you will take a regular postcard and cut out your favorite 3 1/2" by 2 1/2" section of it and alter that ATC-sized piece however you like! **NO COPIES!!! USE ORIGINAL POSTCARDS!!! Thank you.** You will have 2 partners, and you will make 3 ATCs for each partner, for a total of 6 ATCs. Make sure you write "Swap-Bot Altered Postcard ATC Swap" on your envelope (or include a note inside) so that your partner knows what swap it came from! Questions? Just ask!

This sounds like a very fun ATC to do. I have done a number of ATCs and never have I experienced an ATC project like this one. Thanks for being so creative thinking. Have a great day and nice weekend. Barb

Thanks, but I can't say that it's my original idea ... I've participated in 2 or 3 swaps like this in the past and they are always so fun. I have SO many postcards laying around, and this helps to put them to good use! :-)

Hi, what about new postcards?

Noell 12/15/2006 #

New postcards is fine.

Noell 12/15/2006 #

NO COLOR COPIES!!!!!! It is not fair for others who use real postcards to receive COPIES in return. If you don't want to cut up a postcard, THEN DON'T CUT IT UP. lol Use a DIFFERENT one, or something. But absolutely, NO NO NO COLOR COPIES. Thank you.

I want to let you know that I will be sending you a thank you note via snail mail if you are my partner. I will do the rating on the site as soon as I can. Thanks
