Description:

I love ephemera, and I Iove scavenger hunt swaps, so I'm combining the two for a big, fun swap.

You'll have 1 partner, and you'll send them 1 piece of ephemera for EACH of the 26 letters of the alphabet. So, 26 pieces of paper ephemera total. The ephemera can be anything paper: images cut out of magazines/books, stickers (bigger than a thumbnail please), paper napkins, washi tape samples, die cuts, tags, post cards, pamphlets, envelopes, etc. Try to send a good variety of types of items. The letter can stand for the theme of the item, or the item itself. So, for example:

  • A might be a magazine image of an Aardvark, a postcard from Alabama, or a journaling card with an Apple on it
  • B might be a paper Bookmark, a Blue coloured washi tape, or a paper napkin with Bees on it.
  • C could be a tag with a Cat on it, a rubber stamped image of a Carrot, or a postage stamp with a Car on it.

Please include a note listing what item represents each letter. This is not profile based, so feel free to start putting together your envelopes ahead of time. Please send only items in good condition; no rips, stains, etc. Nice things that your partner can use in their mail art, junk journals, etc

I'm listing this as a type 3 swap, as your package may get bulky depending on what items you decide to send. :)

Because this is in-group I don't anticipate any problems, but I will of course angel if need be :)
