Description:

Do you prefer bright colors, deep burgundy or perhaps all shades of pink? Maybe yellow makes you smile or warm colors comfort you. In this swap you get to choose the colors you'd like to see on the ATCs your swap partners will make you.

Every participant lists one, two or several colors they would like to see on the ATCs they receive from their swap partners. It's completely up to you how many colors you want to list and if you want to pair them up into a color scheme (such as blue & white & red or black & white). Be clear when posting what you wish for. You can either post the colors you desire here or you can send messages to one another when you know who you are sending to.

You will make 2 ATCs for 3 different people from the color/s they have listed. Depending on the colors your partners have listed the ATCs can be both in the same color/s or you can pick two different ones from your partner's list. The lists can be as specific (light pink & white, bright yellow with little black for contrast...) or as vague as you like. After all it is your choice.

The ATCs can be made using any medium you prefer and the topic is your choice save the colors. They must be standard ATC size, which is 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (64 x 89mm). You can create the cards on regular playing cards (provided they are the right size) or on regular trading cards or on your own choice of material. I've used cardboard packaging, sturdy letters and watercolor paper among many other possible choices. You may use as much or as little embellishments on your cards as you like. Just keep in mind that the final product should still be flat enough to fit in the standard trading card sleeves.

To recap:

1.Everyone makes list of colors they want to see on the ATCs they will receive and finds out the colors their partners want to have on their cards.

2.Everyone makes 2 ATCs for their 3 partners on their themes of choice. That makes it 6 ATCs in total.

3.Everyone receives 2 ATCs from the themes of their choice from 3 different partners.

This swap is International.Please don't join if you can't afford the postage.

Everyone with a rating over 4 is welcome as well as newbies with fully written profiles. If you have 'no sends' please message me what's the status on those and we'll see what we can do. I want everyone to receive their cards in the end.

If you are new to ATCs but would like to join, don't hesitate. I'll help you get started :)

user6532 03/ 2/2007 #

I,m confused...wouldnt you want to know the colors later when you have been assigned a partner??

Cnvingltlbtch 03/ 5/2007 #

Mariah... People list their color choices now so that when partners are assigned we can go back and look at their lists.

My colors are Purple, Blue, Red, Green, Burgandy. I like the royal colors of these. They are very vibrant and beautiful.

user1699 03/ 6/2007 #

I LOVE the color periwinkle - basically a purple blue. Also, the color orchid: a pink with some purple thrown in.

Tambo 03/ 7/2007 #

I like bright colors, especially red and cobalt blue, but really any color is okay. I'm not picky at all!

jessica 03/ 7/2007 #

I prefer black & silver.

Other colors that are good are sepia, ivory, navy/dark blue, pink, purple, & green.

zanylady 03/ 9/2007 #

For me...whatever color you are feeling the day you make the card!

Marlene

artgeek 03/18/2007 #

I like turquoise, sepia, silver, grey, and dark reds.

jewels1 03/19/2007 #

I would love any pastel color paired with dark brown!

twobluecrows 03/19/2007 #

I like bright rich jewel-tone colors, deep purple, royal or cobalt blue, hunter green, deep rich reds, deep yellows to gold, copper, and silver, too-any pleasing combination--and a healthy sprinkling of sparkle and glimmer is always welcome! Set off by a black background and it'd be perfect!

user3610 03/23/2007 #

When will we be getting our partner assingments? Thanks Marti

Cnvingltlbtch 03/23/2007 #

If the cordinator doesnt assign them by tonight the system should automatically do it.

Nathalie 03/24/2007 #

Hum something went wrong assigning partners I think. I have 8 swap partners?

user3610 03/24/2007 #

I got nine swap partners....whats the deal? LOL

khiaramai 03/24/2007 #

Help

racheljohnson 03/24/2007 #

Hi swappers...

Partners got messed up when they were assigned, so we have deleted all of the incorrect partners and re-assigned new partners. Please check your partners again so that everyone sends to the correct people. Thank you.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Happy swapping, Rachel Swap-bot Admin

user1699 03/24/2007 #

kind of scary, seeing 8 partners! Thank you for fixing things up.

MARLENE , are you sure you don't have a favorite color or two?

big sigh of relief at getting my 3 correct partners.

Lark 2006

artgeek 03/24/2007 #

Just to clarify, are the colors listed supposed to be the only colors on the ATC or just the main/dominant colors? Cheers in advance :)

Cnvingltlbtch 03/24/2007 #

my understanding is they are the main colors

twobluecrows 03/24/2007 #

What a coincidence, all three of my partners like, among their colors, green, blue and purple! Also on my list!
Great minds think alike! :) Cyn

Cnvingltlbtch 03/27/2007 #

Mine are off the CA, TN and OR. The OR one should show up tomorrow since it only has to travel about a half and hour, lol.

user1699 03/29/2007 #

zanylady 03/29/2007 #

Cnvingltlbtch.....got your cards...very nice!!!

Marlene

PS nice to "see" you again!

Nathalie 04/ 3/2007 #

Mudpie yours are already sent today

twobluecrows 04/ 4/2007 #

Hi all, I'm enjoying the ATCs I've been receiving, but got a mystery package yesterday--a shredded envelope in the POst Office's dreaded "WE CARE" plastic bag! It only had two scraps of paper in it, a piece of vellum with little blue squares pattern and a very pale pastel tea party design on the other. The return address said Alice McCaig from Texas, but no id as to which swap iot was for on the envelope.

This is another sad reminder that it's impossible to identify things we get in the mail unless you put the swap and your username on the outside of the envie as well as inside. Since we don't get to see our list of senders until the rating time comes well after the end of the swap, I'm going to have to post this message in all my (many) open swaps until I find Alice and give her the bad news. :( This might have been a paper swap, or an ATC with some nice extras, I can't tell.

jewels1 04/ 5/2007 #

Twobluecrows, how sad that someone's hard work was ruined! I hope you find out who it was!

Tambo, I received your cards in the mail today, they're beautiful! Such nice additions to my collection, I love the little mischief maker! Thanks!

Jewels

zanylady 04/ 6/2007 #

I think I just got a hint that I am in too many ATC swaps.

If Laura from OR and Jessica from CA are in on this swap......thanks! I received cards from both of you and am assuming they are from this swap. They are all cool!

Thanks, Marlene

artgeek 04/10/2007 #

I've received my ATCs from tambo and murmel--thank you so much :)

Nathalie 04/11/2007 #

Sheikstamps your ATC's are sent today

zanylady 04/11/2007 #

artgeek, Tambo (also the Mega Swap too!) and murmel....all on their way to you. Fun swap!

Marlene

twobluecrows 04/11/2007 #

I found the sender of my mystery package and it was a tiny paper squares swap--she kindly replaced them with more lovely bits of papers!
There are definitely some really nice people participating in these swaps! Her name is Alice McCraig aka: corplyn, in case you get the good luck to swap with her! Be really nice!) Cyn

Nathalie 04/12/2007 #

Minty your ATC's are in the mail today

vegee 04/12/2007 #

twobluecrows 04/17/2007 #

jewels1 04/24/2007 #

vegee 05/ 2/2007 #
