Description:

Thank you to all the people who joined the past 3 swaps. I have had a couple of requests to continue so I will. I hope all of you are having as much fun as I am. The next paragraph is the same to help the new participants to understand the idea behind the swap.

Have you ever spent time and effort to make your ATC only to receive an ATC from your partner that put yours to shame? Have you ever felt like not making ATCs anymore because you don't think you can make yours to the caliber of others? Ever send an ATC and when you receive your partners you wish your name would fall off the one you sent? Have never made an ATC before? This swap is for you. I want to make this swap where you do not have to be under stress to make a picture perfect one. Now of course that does not mean you don't put time and effort into it.

Very simple rules, make the ATC standard size. 2.5 x 3.5, Medium and theme is up to the maker. . Stickers are very much permitted if you can incorporate it into the theme but no sticker slapping. In other words you must do more than put stickers on a backing.

If your ATC can be sold at an art auction you are still welcome to join but remember your partner may be a newbie. Don't complain about their work unless it is very obvious they put no time into it.

I will be checking profiles and no unexplained 1s or 3s. Now with that said just because you have a 1 or 3 does not mean you will automatically be banned. I will weigh the whole of all of your swaps. We all know life happens so if for whatever reason you cannot full fill your obligation email your partner. No excuses to just up and leave and post "sorry, I couldn't do it". I will gladly Angle for you. Do not rate 1s or 3s without PMing your partner first.
Please email me if you have any questions.

I've always wanted to try ATC and this swap sounds perfect!! However, is 2.5 x 3.5 = 6,4 x 8,9 CM?? Are the cards really that small?? I've seen photos of ATCs on Internet and somehow they look bigger size ...o_o

@jungpo yes-that small!

They are the size of a baseball card and honestly that is plenty of room. Try doing those Inchies, which are one inch. ( I havent)

Inchies are super fun and quick! :D (and perfect little pieces of art to collage onto an ATC) Thanks for hosting, vick302000!
