Description:
1 Artist Trading Card to 2 partners for a total of 2 ATC's Pack Rats are people who keep EVERYTHING, I keep all types of bits and scraps 'just in case'. Here's a chance to use them! ATC's must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches. There is no set thickness, but if you make your collage too thick they will be more expensive to mail. This swap is international. One sticker does not a pack-rat make; no 1 sticker/image on cardstock, please! I'm not setting any min. number of items because I think it would take away from the creative element, but pack-rat does imply that there will be a few different types of items; for examples see list below. If you have any recent 1's please PM me with an explanation. Newbie's MUST have a filled out profile. I WILL angel myself or find angels for no sends. But, everyone be nice and send, okay :) If you are new to collage's I've found the trick to be to add items until you are happy with the piece. I usually hate my work until it's done; which can be frustrating. Feel free incorporate free-hand work into the card; painting, drawing, sewing, whatever. Example of different items you could use are: magazine cutouts, yarn/thread/fibers, beads, wire, fabric, those little stickers on fruit, scrap book paper scraps, junk mail, puzzle pieces, game pieces, playing cards, part of a photograph, the extra's you have received in swaps - of course you wouldn't want to use ALL of those things!

Hi. I would like to join this, but how do I do that? I'm a pack rat. That's for sure. I've got multiple things on most of my ATC's that I've made. To date, and I started this hobby less than a week ago, I have 17 ATC's made. I will have more made by the time this swap starts up, too. Take a look at my flickr photos. You'll see the type that I've made. I hope that's what you're looking for.

I have to go to work, but I think I will sign up for this. I am a "newbie" but I am reliable, and I LOVE to make atc's. I am glad to know I am now alone as a pack rat. Now that my parents are gone, I thought I might be the last one.....you would not believe what I have....which is what got me interested in swapping....I can't justify buying ANYTHING, but this will be fun..... I can swap art, supplies...this could get addicting....

I'm glad you figured out how to join @maryb221 :) Sorry I didn't respond sooner; with the holidays last week and my kids sick this week I completely spaced checking the comments here.

@Franstuff - I have way too much stuff too! I hope you join up :) this site is a lot of fun and addictive!

ATC are so adictive, I've collected so many in the last year. I look forward to this one. Pack rat's are us, lol!!

Hehe I sat down and started making these last night and ended up making SEVEN of them. How funny is that? Once I got started I just couldn't stop....yet another night of lost sleep because I'm addicted to ATCs....

I'm new to swap-bot. According to my dashboard I've been assigned two partners, but I how do I find out who they are and what their addresses are? Thanks!

maryb221 12/17/2008 #

HELP!! I sent my ATC's today for the swap, but I don't know how to put on here that I sent them. Can some one enlighten me, please? Thanks.

There is a yellow box on the top of this page (right hand side). It says "click here when you have sent your items." It took me awhile to find it too ;-)
