Time for ATC Speed Swap #18!

This month's theme:

Paper Traders 10th Anniversary - Tin / Metal

2-for-2 ATC Swap

Sign-up by: November 15th

Mailing list announced: November 16th

Skill level: 1 - Sprouting

We thought we would let our speed swap this month correspond to our 10th anniversary for those of you who couldn't participate in our bigger anniversary project.

Hallmark says that the gift for the 10th anniversary should be tin or metal items so your two ATCs should include a piece of metal (background or ephemera), foil tape, etc. on it as well as the number 10 (ten).

Each month on the 1st, we will announce a theme or technique for your ATCs. Anyone interested will have until the 15th to sign up. The list will be randomized, announced on the 16th, and you will mail one ATC directly to each of the next two people on the list. A total of two ATCs each month for the speed swaps. You don't have to sign up every month, just when you feel like it or like the theme or have the time.

We'll have brand new creative excitement each month and this will keep postage for each of us to a minimum as long as you don't make bulky ATCs. But of course that will be your choice. It's approximately $1.20 to mail internationally for one ATC in a note card envelope. You must be able to mail internationally to participate in this swap.

Skill Level: 1) SPROUTING - Geared toward the artist who has recently begun their journey into mixed media, these swaps are open to all group members, regardless of experience. Participation is the key - caring and sharing in the spirit of friendship and fun. Every artist needs to understand that contributors to these projects can be of any level of artistic experience.
