Description:

Not everyone of you 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 postcard, so you will journal one week. (Week lasts from Sunday to Saturday, or Monday to Sunday, it's your choice.) 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.

I give you a theme for each day, but beside this, you can write about any other thing, or visualise your feelings, moments related your day. Accomplish the daily tasks is a requirement for this swap!

  • 1st day: add your first name in the main focus,
  • 2nd day: open a book on the page which is equal your years and write down the sentence/text from the same line (example: I'm 31 ys old, so I'll go to the 31th page and copy the 31th line),
  • 3rd day: write 3 interesting facts about your country/state,
  • 4th day: write 5 kind words about yourself,
  • 5th day: write about your week,
  • 6th day: write down the headline (I mean leading article) of your daily newspaper, or other recent news from a magazine you have,
  • 7th day: totally sender's choice!

Please, date every card. You can just write or use any media you want. You can create an art for every day, using the themes of the cards as an inspiration, or you can find out something very different. Don't need to be an experienced artist or journalist, just enjoy making something nice, you would like to receive.

You can use the whole postcard/adcard (both sides). When it finished, please pin/staple the cards, put in an envelope and mail it to your partner. You will have three days for mailing.

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.

Hi. Thanks for hosting, I love this idea! I just raided my free card stash for 7 cards. i always keep the sturdy ones for book boards.

i have 2 questions. Can i bind my 7 cards together to make a book or journal? Can i crop a few of them so they are close the same height? Thanks!

Hi! Thank you for your comment. The answers are yes and yes. Binding is a good idea, but I'm not crafty enough to do that :)

Nice challenge! An easy way to make a book is to tape all cards together on one side. When you tape two extra cards for front and backside, you can wrap paper around it like you used to do with schoolbooks.
