@Fry I had a frickin blast with this one and I plan on making it ongoing. Even if we don't hit 6 participantants, we'll still swap with what we have.

I would love to join but missing the minimum rating by a fraction of a point. Any chance you'd reconsider? :)

@topshelf I went in and reviewed your rating. I understand that things happen and in most cases I use my discretion to decide if a participant seems "non flaker ish"

I would be happy to have you join the swap.

HAY WATCHERS!! Join in, it's not as daunting as it may seem. I promise.

I'll give you a tip on how I make an ATC a day... You can take one of these routes.

You can create batches of 6 bases (1 card for each person) then decorate them all at the same time. (creates similar cards for each person. DO that a few times and your done.

Or you can take a large piece of paper decorate the whole page, cut it into cards and then embellish each one to suit day by day.

Or you can take a day, compile all of that materials that you want to use for 30 cards, make a designated station. Visit that station when you have time and make a few cards at a time until your done!

For this round I even let you add 1 card (to each partner) from your stash so technically you only have to make 25 cards : )

I know the commitment of something made each day may seem frightening, but i'm telling you once you get going it's easy and you can start as soon as you sign up : )

I would love to see at least 6 people join!
