Description:
I have extended the sign up and swap dates of this swap, because it will give you time to work on things over the holidays, and also because I don't want items to get lost in the rush of last minute christmas post - better to wait until after the holidays I think! I've seen this done a couple of times, and think it's a really great idea, although I've never done it myself! You will only have one partner, as this is a lot to do! The idea is to make some ATCs (a minimum of 5, maximum of however many you like!) that are all on the same theme. Then you will connect them together with a ribbon or something similar to make a little book! It can be attached at the top or at the sides, with one attachment or more, it's up to you, but just make sure that it's attached so that each ATC can be flipped over to look at the next one! It might be best to put an extra bit of card at the side of the ATC so that it can be joined without being through the ATC, but this is again up to you! I won't specify a theme on this one, but try to make sure that it's something that your partner will like! If this swap is popular, I may host a similar one with a specific theme! Normal rules for ATCs apply, 2.5 x 3.5". Anyone with a rating over 4.75 is free to join! I'm not accepting newbies this time, I'm afraid, as it's quite a big commitment! This swap is INTERNATIONAL! Feel free to message me with any questions! Have fun!

I'm game for whatever my partner feels drawn to create, though as always with me you'll for sure get a heart if it's celestial theme! ;-)

I DO like vintage and I DON'T like Kawaii

:-)

Do we create on the back of the card also?

Mojo 12/ 1/2007 #

caresalot, it is completely up to you! You could have your personal info on the back of every card like a normal ATC, or work on both sides of the cards and just have the info on the back! It'll be great to see how everyone individually interprets this!

I wish I could join this as it seems like a great bit of fun, but my schedual is just too full at the moment. Maybe you will do it again in the spring? I HOPE!

alleycat, I probably will do another of these swaps early next year! It seems to be very popular! (my first ever top 10 swap!)

I am glad you extended the date. I wasn't going to sign up for any more that had to be sent in December. :)

What a cool idea!! I'm thinking I might go with a theme that includes really cool quotes or something for my partner. I agree with AlphenStamp...I'm not a big fan of Kawaii or any of that super cutesy stuff. Other than that..I'm up for anything. :)

TraySeeH 12/14/2007 #

I'm up for anything, I also don't like Kawaii, or the Hello Kitty stuff. Just not into the cutesy. Other than that I am open.

If this is to be a book, attached possibly w/ extra at one side, how will this fit in a sleeve, especially if there is a ribbon tying it together? Five or more ATCs plus extra for attachment won't fit into a regular atc sleeve. Please clairify. TIA

Turtle 01/ 2/2008 #

I don't like Kawaii or cutesy stuff either. I like Japanese or oriental. I also like collage.

Mojo 01/ 3/2008 #

Stmpnmnga, it doesn't have to fit into a sleeve! Did I write that on the description? oops... so I did! Sorry about that! No I wasn't thinking it should go in a sleeve! Hope this is all ok =)

I am thrilled about starting on this! I have printed off the bases of the cards and what is going to be on them also. Not sure how I am going to join them though. Hmmmm... as for my likes and dislikes: LOVE everything EXCEPT for Kawaii and Hello Kitty. Just not into the cutsie girlie things.

Ok, I am a little concerned about this swap. It says in the description that there is no set theme. So I made my "Book of ATC's" with a theme that I like. Now what happens if the person I send it too has already responded on here about their likes and dislikes and my book of ATC's is one of those themes they don't like. Can you help me out. Thanks

Mojo 01/ 6/2008 #

VWwoman07, if they don't like the theme you have made then you are still fulfilling the swap requirements.

There wasn't a theme on this because I really just wanted to see if anyone would like to make books of ATCs - as it turns out, lots of people do!

I will probably make more of these swaps with themes!

VWwoman07 01/ 6/2008 #

Thanks MoJo, I can't wait to go see who my partner is. Take care.

Ninox 01/ 7/2008 #

Hopefully my partner hasnt started hers yet, please do something original and unique... Don't use commerciall and general ''hip' stuff for mine please.. other than that anything goes... :D make it from you! Controversy is definately welcome in the pieces.. :D

GemMedia 01/14/2008 #

Hi, is there any links or pictures of ATC books...or any pics info. of any finished joined projects similar to this?

Aerochik, your 'book' is in the post from UK. I hope you like it, I was so pleased with the end result I made a copy for myself to keep.
