Description:

As you probably do, I save all my ATC's - the ones I send are scanned to my computer, and I keep the extra ones I make in a binder, along with the ones I receive - the ones I like are kept separate from the ones I don't.

This swap is NOT for those ATC's you get with just a sticker on it. That would be too easy to make better!

This swap is for the ATC you received that you thought was okay, but it could have been better. Your partner tried, but the card didn't do it for you.

This swap will give your (new) partner a version you think is better than was sent to you.

So...

  1. Pick an ATC you've received that you liked, but... you didn't give a heart to (or wouldn't have if they hadn't given such awesome extra's).
  2. You need to send a colour copy of the original ATC.
  3. Use the embellishments from the original ATC to make your ATC (the same basic idea of the original has to be in your ATC - you aren't changing the idea, just making it better). You can use some or all of them; you can also add your own.

Anybody queasy about getting a copy of their original ATC back to them shouldn't join.

No newbies - you have to have received a few ATC's to pick from so the above criterion is met.

Unless you're an obvious flaker you won't be banned. I think this one will be so "wanna do this one" there won't be a problem.

I know everybody is busy and I always join too many swaps too, so this is going to start AFTER Hallowe'en (I'm in Canada, so Thanksgiving is gone too, ha).

This is so NOT partner related, you can start now if you want.

Revision: If you feel uncomfortable redoing somebody else's work, then pick something of your own to revise. Make sure you take that colour photocopy of the original first.

If you use a previous partners card, for the back I think you should cover it with your own name. I wouldn't mind your opinion on this part.

I've been thinking about creating a swap similar to this for a while, just to give my self permission to work on someone elses atc. Thanks for pushing me off the cliff to touch them!
