Make 1 Altered Rolodex Card featuring a Shamrock, 3 or four leaves, senders choice, to your 1 partner!
Make it very sturdy, Something you would like in your collection! Fully decorated on the front with the notches on the bottom, and lightly decorate the back with the notches at the top. (This is good for people with rotary holders and flat holders because when you look over the back of a flat holder you are looking at the card right side up!) Be sure to put your user name & the swap name on the back. Have fun & Enjoy making these Lucky Rolos!

What do you mean by "lightly decorate" the back, and give me some ideas how to make it "very sturdy" thanks.

HEY! If anyone needs something to use on this card.... I have a great package of 1 - 1 1/2" holographic green Shamrocks to share!They are beautiful! I would love to share! If any of u want some pm me with your addie and tell me what u would like and i will mail them to you!
@ GrannysNamesake Thanx for asking! Lightly decorate means to do something creative to the back, dont just write on the plain cardboard. Glue decorative paper as a background or paint a background! On this altered rolo i will definately glue or draw or paint a shamrock! Put something on the back that goes with the swap theme. I love to put a tag on there with the swap info written on it! You want to write the swap name, your user name and date (at least the year) on your rolo. And I like the sender's location too. If they don't put it, I do. That's the point of a collection from all over the world to me! As far as sturdy. I use cereal boxes, cracker boxes, tissue boxes(Pretty enough to be the background of the back side;-) and i love to use LITTLE DEBBIE boxes cause Nutty Buddies are my favorite and the insides of them are white so that is nice to paint a background for the back side! I usually use my little pack of watercolors from Crayola that i pick up in party section of Walmart. I have expensive ones but the colors arent as vibrant as these cheaper ones!!! ;-0(just passin some words of wisdom to yall now! ;-) Also on the back side be sure the notches are at the top, thats the best, even for flat holders when you look over the top at the back, the card looks right side up! Any other ???s...pm me! Blessings, cc
