Description:

Since the first one was so popular, I'm hosting a second swap.

This ATC swap is for anyone who might be afraid that his/her work is not going to be "good enough" - those who are worried about disappointing partners with a new craft, and those who want to support swappers who are new to ATCs.

You will create one ATC for your one partner. Please relax and enjoy the process! You can use any media - collage, paint, colored pencil, photography, markers, you name it! Try to have fun and not worry too much about what your partner will think - if you try your best and put effort into it, you will be just fine, trust me.

ATCs must be 2.5 by 3.5 inches. That is the only real rule. Please put your information on the back of the card - I usually include the name of the ATC swap, the title of the ATC (if I have one!), my real name and swapbot name and the date.

I am linking an article that has other links in it for those who need a little more help. Also, if you are a little worried and need some support, please feel free to pm me and I can see what I can do to help you out. I am not an expert on making ATCs, but I do feel pretty good about the ones I make. Also, please feel free to post links in the comment section to other helpful websites on making ATCs if you have a good source.

[link] (url for the link) leave out the space between the square & round bracket. ATC Link

New swappers welcome with a filled out profile, this means more than a paragraph or a few sentences (if you need help, pm me.) Established swappers welcome with 4.9 or higher and no unexplained 1s or 3s.

I do check every single perspective participant's profile for flakage, unsent swaps in the dashboard, etc. You will be banned if you don't meet the requirements - that's just making things fair for the entire group.

Thank you for hosting this swap! I usually make greeting cards but really wanted to try ATC and am afraid that i might disappoint my partner, so basically this title speaks out right from my mind, haha. I'm in!

I use to do these on another site. You know what they say, practice makes perfect

fang0915, I'm sure you will not disappoint anyone. These are so much fun. I haven't done any in awhile either. Just enjoy yourself. DebBee

Excellent idea!

Any new members, PLEASE make sure your profile is well filled out! I don't want to have anyone left out of this swap because of sparse profiles - let me know if you need some help, just PM me.

No worries, everyone - this is supposed to be a fun swap with no pressure, just do your best to make a lovely ATC and you'll be fine.

I'm not really new to ATC's either, but I am still learning. Nothing like making an ATC with no set "Subject" other than what we can find on our partner's profile. I like this swap concept!

CSNYfan 02/ 6/2011 #

I'm not new and I'm still learning, too!

Ended up missing out again due to getting slaughtered by a cyclone. Would be great if you or someone else could host again some time soon :)

CSNYfan 02/10/2011 #

I will host again soon, but anyone is welcome to do their own version of this swap if you don't want to wait for me!
