PRIVATE Newbies Only: DIY/Handcrafted

This swap is to help newbies get started. This will help you get a Type 3 category on your list of swaps. It's an international swap.

Rules:

• You have less than 5 swaps. Or less than 10 swaps with no Type 3s

• Your profile needs to be filled out and you need to show some activity. For example, you have logged in within the last 2 days and regularly log in.

• Sign up by Friday April 26. Mail your item by the next Friday (May 3). You will be expected to send your item out by the deadline and rate your partners. I check that everyone has rated their partners. I leave a "Finished" stamp in the discussion section when everyone has sent and everyone is rated.

Instructions:

• Send a handcrafted/do-it-yourself greeting card or postcard to your partner.

• Ideas: draw, paint, cut n paste, use your scrapbooking skills, create a card from your own photograph, use your photoshop skills, etc.

• Write a nice note on the card/postcard, or include a note in the envelope with your zine/ATC.

• It should be "standard" - slim and lightweight and only require regular postage. In Canada "standard" is 30g or less, maximum dimensions 9.6" x 6.1" for an envelope, 9.2" x 4.7" for a postcard, your country may vary - check your post office website.
