Apr - May 2020 "Time for Tea" Swap

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

How devastating is the world at this time.
2020 has not got off to a very good start.
But as they are saying if we all stick together
and stay strong we will make it to the other side -
whenever that maybe.
I hope that none of you have been directly affected.

So for this swap I thought as we cannot go out and
have coffee with our friends we would have our own
Tea Party by way of this swap.

The theme for this swap is
"Time for Tea"

The criteria for this swap is that your ATC's include any of
the following - Tea Pots, Tea Cups or Cupcakes - or all if you
wish.

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 Wednesday 1 April and closes
    Wednesday 8 April.
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 18 May( 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 25 May at the latest.
8. I will post swaps received on Tuesday 26 May 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.
