Hi guys!

This swap will be brought to you by the letters C, S and T.

Haha sorry couldn't help myself :P

This swap was inspired by a topic in the forums a while ago - someone received an ATC with coffee stains on it, staples and sticky tape hanging off - all unintentional.

For this swap those 3 items are all you're allowed to use!

Some examples:

For Coffee - * Dip the rubber stamp in coffee instead of ink! * Use coffee to paint a picture * Use coffee to paint the edge or border with

For staples - * You can use a staple to attach a pretty picture onto the ATC * Use metallic coloured staples to create a pattern or border!

For sticky tape - * You can use deco tape (thin or wide) * Place the sticky tape upside down, sprinkle some glitter or confetti sparingly so that when you turn it around it has gaps so that it will stick to the ATC (or make the tape long enough so you can tape it to the back.

Go crazy! I want you all to experiment :)

All I ask is that you use each of the 3 items at least once, you can make one with all 3 items on it.

Or 3 ATC's using one item for each!

~ You Need To Include A Note Explaining Your ATC/s and who you are so you can be rated ~

As mentioned this is international so please allow ample time for it to reach you before rating and be prepared for posting overseas.

ANYONE can join :)

Along with the 3 items you may use one (or more) pictures as long as it will be something your partner likes (check out their profile).

For example: I would make an ATC for my partner who likes butterflies by either:

pasting a picture of a butterfly on the sturdy card, I could then use staples to outline it or make a border.

i could paint a butterfly using coffee and my tiny brush.

To sum up:

  • 3 partners

  • Make an ATC or more for each partner - as long as all 3 items has been used.

  • International :)

So it was sooo quiet for most of the day today at work (retail, today I was at customer service and it was rainy and icky) I took a bunch of stuff destined for the trash and totally got this this project moving, now I only need to add the coffee elements and a few more things to help tie my little collages together, and.... tada, soon I will have completed my second set of ACs ever! Only one person noticed me making them, and she thought they were neat, so haha no managers giving me a hard time for somehow taking store stuff or something - except for the tape, staples, and glue stick (why was there even a glue stick in the drawer anyway?), its all recycled! I wanted them to be 100% recycled, but one theme at a time! =)

Hey awesome for the extension, now I can stop fussing since I still have them here in the state from when I posted that before, HA! (I'll still try to have them going soon but not having to hurry is nice!)
