ABOUT THE SWAP AND THE ENVELOPE OF TRASH

I will send you an envelope with a variety of trash items. Every T2T swap is a little different and I have collected only items that were otherwise going into the trash. Don’t worry – nothing is dirty! I am not sending excess or surplus supplies.

This swap is a mixed media collage challenge to create ATCs from trash items. You must use at least 3 trash items on each card. Be willing to think outside the box and use items in different and new ways. Each envelope will have the same types of items. Some items are identical for all players. But some items are of the same type but slightly different.

This is a no withdrawal swap! You won’t know what is in the envelope until you receive it, if you request an envelope you are required to complete the swap.

ABOUT THE CARDS
~This is a 5 for 5 swap. A host card is not required but if you send one I will treasure it!
~Use at least (3) three trash items on every card.
~Each card must be 2.5” by 3.5” on a sturdy base. Don’t just use a piece of scrapbook paper.
~Please stick to the traditional rectangle shape for this swap. You may round the corners if you like. Each card must fit inside an ATC sleeve.
~Embellishments are fine! If you use thick/heavy embellishments on your cards, please consider sending extra postage to get your cards to their forever homes! (not required). Remember it must fit in an ATC sleeve.
~Do not glue items down willy-nilly without design. Have a focal point that draws your eye and is complemented by the surrounding colors and textures.
~You are encouraged to add items from your stash to complete the card and make it unique.
~The trash items can be altered -cut, ripped, painted, sanded, sprayed with ink, etc.
~On the back of your card include your AFA username, real name, swap name (T2T13) and list the trash items you have used.

Welcome ksj, CQ5 and heymaggie!

I realized that I didn't mention in the first post - but I will be mailing out envelopes to whoever has signed up so far on Friday morning. I'm waiting for the new astronaut stamps to be released.
