Description:
I thought it'd be interesting to do something fun with all the scraps you have no clue what to do with! So here's an idea to throw your way! Let's try to make a really UGLY ATC! Make it as loud and obnoxious as possible! The whole idea of this swap is to use up odds and ends that don't normally match! I'd love to see what people come up with! This swap is open to international and newbies with complete profiles! I will check profiles before I assign partners! A side note - you may not reuse an ATC that was already sent to you. This ATC must be freshly made! EDIT - I just say ugly because it's more eye catching. I am not meaning ugly like being mean or rude - just an eclectic type card that is a mash up of different things you normally wouldn't put together - example: metal and flowers. how ever I must stress that you must make the card for this swap, I really wouldn't like it if someone sent me a card that wasn't originally meant for me. You are welcomed to send out more cards that needs a new home for hearts though. You are going to be making 1 ATC per partner. For hearts you can send your partner an additional ATC or ATC supplies you need to destash.

The theme/color ideas are sender's choice! How ever please contact your partner if you want to send anything extra.

I like your sample ATC :)

lol thanks! but I didnt make that one, I found a pic of it on the net, though its a great idea! Im sure I could easily replicate it. :)

I have to say I'm not comfortable with you finding someone elses work to advertise an "ugly" ATC swap. Why not make one of your own and use that?

KawaiiNekomini 11/29/2009 #

I intend to, I just did a flicker search under ugly atc's and that one popped up. :) Im gonna make an ugly ATC though just for the fun of it ^______^

Ugly doesn't necessarily mean bad or is meant to come across as insulting. I like plenty of ugly things and I think no less of them than pretty things.

This is a great and fun idea =D.

wow i can't wait to ugly up some of the ugly cards I have already accidently made!

KawaiiNekomini 11/30/2009 #

Yeah, I just say ugly because it's more eye catching. I am not meaning ugly like being mean or rude - just an eclectic type card, how ever I must stress that you must make the card for this swap, I really wouldn't like it if someone sent me a card that wasn't originally meant for me. You are welcomed to send out more cards that needs a new home for hearts though.

Is this one ATC per partner?

KawaiiNekomini 12/ 6/2009 #

Yes it's 1 ATC per partner. Though you are welcomed to make more than 1 for hearts.

KawaiiNekomini 12/10/2009 #

I am having it put 1 partner per person instead of 3 since we only have 5 people in the group now. And I am extending the sign up day by another week, so if someone wants to join last min they can.

I've never done an ATC before, so I figured I would join this one because I can't go wrong. [= But are both sides supposed to be altered, or only one, or is that my choice?

TastyTreats 12/17/2009 #

Well, here goes! This is also my first ATC. I'm so excited!

Naeco 12/18/2009 #

Yeah. I'll just assume it should be one side. Can't wait until partners are assigned!

KawaiiNekomini 12/18/2009 #

It's sender's choice :) I assigned partners!
