valentine atc swap...

01/18/06 The swap roster is coming along nicely now, we're up to a solid twenty-three plus ten munchkin swappers.

The particulars:

The deadline for sign-ups is Monday, January 23rd. To join all you have to do is email me (amy at aplcreations dot com) with your name, address and blog url (if you have one).

You do not have to have a blog to participate. International participants are welcome to play as well.

The theme this round is "My _________ (insert your own adjective here...vintage, funky, crappy, whatever) Valentine."

Each participant will make five artist trading cards to be mailed to me no later than Monday, January 30th. So as not break the bank on my end, stateside folks, please send along two 39 cent stamps (or one 63 cent stamp) with your cards; those across the pond, please send $1.70 along with your cards. Each swapper will receive back a random selection of five ATCs plus an extra little treat from me. I will mail out the divvied ATCs on Monday, February 6th so that they will arrive just in time for Valentine's Day.

A couple of bullet points on ATCs (courtesy of Cedarseed.com)
* The dimensions of the cards must be 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches.
* Sets of identical cards are known as editions and should be numbered (1/5, 2/5, etc.).
* Sets of cards based on a theme are known as a series.
* On the back of each ATC the artist writes part or all of the following information: name, contact information, title of the ATC and number if it's part of an edition.

I will scan all of the cards and set them up in an album on Flickr at the end of the swap for everyone to enjoy.
