Description:

This swap is just something for fun to fill the time while we prepare an awesomer (it's a word now) swap to engage and delight you. This one will just be a quickie, one week to sign up, one week to finish and send.

The theme of this swap is "Trapped in Corporate Paradise". This idea came to me while trapped in a meeting and wanting something to do with my hands other than strangle the person talking. I came to realize that the average office supplies one has on hand at work, while boring on the surface, is a treasure trove of art supplies when you're blindingly desperate for something creative to do.

I want you to come up with an ATC using only standard office supplies. Printer paper, sticky notes, yellow highlighter, paper clips, those little paper circle things - you get the idea. Keep it simple. Do your card while stuck in a meeting, perhaps.

The card should be 2.5x3.5 inches, and you may use heavy card stock or cardboard as the base of your ATC, but please try to use only standard office supplies for the majority of the work.

This swap is open to everyone with a well-filled-out profile, but please be mindful of your partner and don't flake. If I have problems with you during this swap, I will ban you from my future swaps.

Please message me or leave a comment if you have any questions.

Love the idea, but I was recently liberated from my desk job, and I'm certainly not going to buy office supplies! lol. I should have stocked up before leaving.... alas.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to drop. Had a bad carpal tunnel flare up and I'm finding it hard to type....let alone cut or draw. :-(

Hopefully the next one.

user2637: well, I hope you join us for the next one! On the subject of buying office supplies - it's been forever since I've been in an office supply store and I happened in one yesterday looking for binder rings for another project. Nobody told me it was like Sharpie Heaven in there! I had to resist spending hours just poking over the markers. :)

Pyxi: Well I hope all is better before the next swap! Rest up and the next swap will be longer so you will have plenty of time even if your hands decide to not cooperate right away. :)
