Description:

I thought it would be fun to do a themed mail art swap :) Valentines day it's nearly here! Let's warm up our mailboxes with some love!

Objective;
For this swap you will make 1 mail ART piece for 2 partners (2 mail art pieces made in total) decorated in a Valentine theme. What is mail art? This wiki page says it best Decorate a postcard or an envelope and send them naked (without an envelope for postcards) but you can decide if you want to put something in the envelope or just leave it empty. That's up to you. Minimum size is a standard 4x6 inch (10x 15 cm) postcard/envelope and both sides need to be decorated, simple as adding some faux postage on one side and can be with anything, but make sure the shipping address is readable. Add a warm note that makes the recipient feel loved, it's the thought that counts :)
Since it's not profile related, feel free to start making your creations right away. All mediums are allowed, anything goes, just do your best work, keep it to the theme and have fun!

The obvious bit; You already had to have a rating of 4.9+ with no recent no-sends/late swaps, 1s or 3s to join this group anyway, so the same stands for this swap. The rating filter is in place so if you drop below that you're automatically dropped from the swap. But I will check participants before sign up to see if anyone has late swaps on their dashboards, so if there are any concerns please contact me about it.

You might want to make Valentine mail art in a Valentine theme rather than a Hallowe'en theme as suggested above! ;) Depending on your valentine, of course...

haha, Su, thanks for noticing that! i confess i copy and paste from my previous hosted swaps ;) but a halloween valentine, that is a fun theme too, and well if anymore feels up for that, feel free to incorporate both ;)
