Ok, so I've noticed that there are all sorts of swaps now for something called a "Skinny", which is like an atc, but larger. I like creating things in the landscape format (where the base in longer than the height)... So I figured I would start my own swaps for little works of art in a size that I enjoy, which I am calling CHUBBIES :)

These Chubbies will be 4x6, and should be created lengthwise (meaning 6 inches across the top and bottom and 4 inches high- on the sides :) These fit into photo albums with the plastic pockets :) YES, I am aware that these are the same size as a postcard, however they do not have to be mail-able on their own, so could have more embellishments, things hanging off them, etc. You do not have to be able to write on the backs, as you would a postcard ;) They also MUST be created in the landscape format (therefore making them "chubby") :) Besides, "postcard" insinuates it could be bought :)... and these can't!

I hope that makes sense.

For this swap, you will create ONE Chubby for ONE partner and the theme is Valentines Day - this means you can do it based on ANYTHING to do with Valentines Day- love, hearts, cupid, famous couples, etc etc. You can collage, draw, paint, etc. Be sure to make it on something sturdy so it doesn't get ruined in the mail (cardboard or cardstock, please). Put some effort in, and don't just send something with a sticker slapped on it :)

This swap is US only, due to the time frame. Be sure if your chubby is extra chubby to make sure you have enough postage :P

I will be checking profiles, so no recent 1's or 3's. Newbies are welcome with a WELL filled out profile. I will ban anyone who seems suspicious.

Please send ON TIME, and as always rate promptly and fairly! I will ban known non-raters! Any questions, please PM me.

Oh my! I bought some 4x6 cards and was wondering what to call them if I did artwork on them. I think chubby is very fitting. Except when I read the title, Valentines Chubby! for those of you that share my brain waves will get it!

LMAO Candyn, if you think the way I do, it was probably the same thing LOL. But I'm okay with that, LOL. It was either Chubby or Chunky LOL.

Ok I'm thinking of joining, but I don't quite understand, what is "Landscape format"? Duh, LOL!

Rubyfreckles 01/ 7/2010 #

Landscape just means that the paper should be laid in front of you with the 6 inches going from left to right, and the 4 inch side going up and down.

LOL If I were an "ATC" I would be a Chubby! hahaha fun idea!

faye411 01/ 8/2010 #
