Feb - Mar 2020 "Valentine" Swap


****THIS SWAP IS NOW CLOSED****
Hi Everyone

Happy New Year

Well here we are in 2020 - a new decade.
I hope you are all up to another year of swaps, as I have
what I think will be some interesting challenges.

I very much hope that none of you or anyone that
you know were impacted by the devastating fires,
some of which are still ongoing

So here we go!
The theme for this swap is
"Valentine"

The criteria for this swap is that your ATC's must be Valentine
inspired and must contain folded paper.
A few ideas are iris folding, tea bag folding or origami- you can
choose which one you would like to use.

Guidelines
1. Australian papercrafters are encouraged to participate in this ATC swap.
2. If you commit to this swap please, out of consideration for all the
    participants meet the set deadlines.
3. To participate, write a comment to add your name to the list of participants
    below and I will email you my address details.
4. Post your ATC's and a stamp self addressed envelope to me on or by the
    posting deadline (see 7 below). I recommend that you put your ATC's in a
    9 pocket plastic sleeve to protect them from the weather.

Deadline dates:

5. Registration list for this swap opens on Sunday 2 February and closes
    Sunday 9 February.
6. To register to participate please leave a comment before the closing date.
    I will then confirm the number of ATC's needed to be made for the current swap.
7. Swaps must be in the mail to me by no later than Monday 16 March( as mail can
    take a business week to arrive to me depending on where you are located) and I
    should receive them all by Monday 23 March at the latest.
8. I will post swaps received on Tuesday 24 March at the latest so you should
    receive your ATC's shortly thereafter.
Participation governance:
 ATC swap numbers will be limited to ten people per swap.
    Founding members have automatic entry into each swap (but still need to
    confirm their participation for each swap)
    With the exception of founding members, participants will be eligible to take
    part on a "first in" registration basis.
    I do hope you will participate - any questions feel free to leave a comment.

What is an Artist Trading Card?
An ATC is the acronym for Artist Trading Card.
For anyone new to ATC's, it is a small piece of original work that measures 2.5" x 3.5".
There is no right or wrong way to create an ATC - you just need to stick to the
measurements and the rest is up to your imagination.
