Swap Coordinator:Coffeelatte (contact)
Swap categories: Themed  Art  Artist Trading Card (ATC) 
Number of people in swap:6
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:February 14, 2007
Date items must be sent by:March 17, 2007
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

Do you have a lucky charm, a good-luck talisman or theory about positive twists of fate? Or are you simply have something to share about the charming and enchanting aspects of life?

In this swap you will have 2 partners and create 2 ATCs for each of them (so, 4 cards total.) The card should represent an aspect of the "charmed" theme. How you decide to represent this is up to you...although I hope no one simply sends the designs from a Lucky Charms cereal box!

Embellishments are great, but make sure that the end card will be a fit for the standard 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch ATC holder.

You can do the same 2 designs (2 of the same design cards to both your partners) OR you can do 4 different cards.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I encourage you to aim away from presenting religious images that may offend a partner that does not share your belief set.

I also ask that your cards be charged with positive creative energy. I don't think anyone minds a touch of irony on this subject, but please do not present images of negativity in the form of hexes, voodoo, death, destruction -- and I really don't want any gory or graphic rabbits' feet, etc.

--You MUST COMPLETE YOUR SWAP-BOT PROFILE to participate.

--This is an INTERNATIONAL swap. Sign up ends on Valentines Day, and you must mail to your partner by St. Patrick's Day.

--You must have a rating of at least 4 to participate, although newbies are welcome to join. If you have a rating lower than four and want to petition to join, please write up your case in the comments/messages thread and the group will determine what to do.

This looks fun, and I appreciate your emphasis on the positive. I also appreciate that you allow plenty of time!

Coffeelatte 01/20/2007 #

Thanks, Sharon. I like to give my self some breathing room since I always tend to over schedule!

EDITED THIS SWAP - Those of you new to Swap-bot that have not been rated are welcome to join! If you are rated lower than 4 I ask that you present your case here and the group will decide whether to allow you. I'm just trying to make sure that everyone has the best intentions to send...I know myself that sometimes things happen and packages go missing in the mail. What we want is people who will communicate and come through to the best of their ability!

HI - I just signed up for swap-bot. I've never made an ATC before, but I want to begin and this is the first swap I've seen that looks like I could participate in it.

Let me know if it's ok for me to join. Thanks, either way.

Hello! I'm kinda new...I've been on for a few weeks...none of my other swaps are over-with yet...I've never made an ATC before, but they sound really neat.

Hey Coffeelatte,

Are we going to get our partners? :)

Thanks!

Mel

Coffeelatte 02/17/2007 #

Mel - I assigned partners on the 15th so you should be able to see them now! Did you get my email?

Mel 02/19/2007 #

Hi Coffee,

Why yes indeed I did - and with that I will tell you that your and graphics_cactus\' cards are on their way! :)

What a great swap! Thanks so much.

Looks like almost everyone has mailed -- I haven't heard from Morgaine yet. I hope some of you will post pictures of the cards you receive!

Coffeelatte 03/19/2007 #

Heard from Morgaine -- she's been sick but will be sending.

Mel 03/19/2007 #

Hi to littledragon,

I received your very lovely "Good Luck" cards today - how perfectly fitting for the St. Pat's season!

Thanks so much!

Cheers, Mel

Caffeelatte - thank you so much for the cards - I received them last night...they're so much nicer than mine! Thank you!!! I love how you packaged them!

Coffeelatte 03/23/2007 #

Thank you, Graphics_cactus! I'll have to remember how I packaged them...were they taped to a piece of cardboard? That's how I usually do it...

I'm glad you liked them!

nellyme 03/26/2007 #

Coffeelatte 03/27/2007 #

Nicki - Glad they made it to you, and that you liked your swap package!

Coffeelatte 03/27/2007 #
