Description:

Not everyone like getting free/ad postcards. Whether you like them or not, you can participate in this fun swap :)

As I've found out, this will be a mix of art journals and challenges with some twists.

You will need 7 free/ad postcards.You can use real freecards which look like a postcard and has publishers/brands on the back side, and/or art cards (which promotes art exhibitions) and/or those cards, which has mainly advertisements on both side. In a nutshell, you can use any card you consider as a free/ad postcard. If you want, you can recycle/reuse your written/used ones, too.

You will have to journal 7 days in a month. Each card for each day. There are some instructions which you have to accomplish in this journal:

*- date the cards *- write one (or more) sentence about your day *- do the daily task *- the more is up to you, you can write about anything or visualize feelings, moments, you can use the theme of the cards as an inspiration, and you can use both sides.

Here are the daily tasks:

  • 1st day: add your first name in the main focus,
  • 2nd day: write 5 kind words about yourself,
  • 3rd day: write 3 interesting facts about your country/state,
  • 4th day: stick on 5 cancelled postage stamps,
  • 5th day: list 6 of your favourite things,
  • 6th day: open a book on the page which is equal your years and write down the sentence/text from the same line (if needed keep counting while turn a page) (example: I'm 31 ys old, so I'll go to the 31th page and copy the 31th line),
  • 7th day: it's free!

Don't need to be an experienced artist or journalist, just enjoy making something nice, you would like to receive.

When it finished, please pin/staple/tape the cards, put in an envelope and mail it to your partner.

Other rules: * store bought or handmade postcards aren't allowed, but you can alter the freecards, * you must have at least 10 rated type 2 swaps, but I open it for newbies, * no 1's, no recent 3's, * DON'T FLAKE!

I can angel, if necessary.

So to be sure I do this right: on day 2 I date it, write a sentence or two about my day and add 5 kind words about me, then that card is finished until I attach all 7 cards to mail? LOVE your creative idea!

Yes, you have to date it, write about your day, and do the daily task, then you can finish the card or decorate it/alter it somehow. All is up to you. I like doing freecard journals, because the card usually gives some extra inspiration :)
