    • Trash to Treasure 6 (Stashbuster) - due May 21, 2018

    I can't get this stash/trash monkey off my back.
    I have read and understand the requirements.
    I am looking forward the inclusion of house shaped cards.
    Interested in trying my hand at those.
     
    Oh yes, I see that I have seen that before, but not sure I have seen to tell the host if you dont want shapes. I love shapes.
    Cards may also be shaped – e.g. houses or dolls – as long as you fit within the ATC size guideline. If you do not wish to receive non-standard shapes in your returns, please state this when you sign up.

    Java didnt you make me the church shaped card. Ok I mean I kept that one.
     
    Hi Katelnorth. I've decided to stop lurking on this one and participate if you will have me. I've read the requirements and understand. I will be PMing you when I finish here. I had so much fun in CastleQueen5's swap that I decided it would be fun to do it again.
     
    Awesome - I will get your envelope in the post to you today, on my way to a University of Birmingham Applicant Day with my daughter. There's bound to be a postbox somewhere between London and Birmingham, lol. And JavaZarf's envie, and electric designer. (Though if I post from Birmingham, that's the opposite direction from my house to where she lives, lol).

    I doubt it. Whether it's really trashy - like yours, which was really creative in what we were challenged to use - or more stashy, like mine or JavaZarf's round 4, or whether it's something similar but different like ferretgirl's Finish it Up or Ann_Stebbing's Lucky Dip swap, there's something very appealing about being "forced" to use someone else's stuff to create. It's similar to why I enjoy the round robins so much - because it's not dependent just on yourself and your personal taste, it stretches you to think differently, even if maybe only a LITTLE differently than you would given your own inspiration and own stash. Plus also, it gives you a starting point, which we know can sometimes be pretty challenging!

    Do you think we will ever tire of this idea?

    I agree - I like having a starting point and I like having to incorporate someone else's stuff.
     
    Now i remember - I did make a church card. Duh.
    Last night I rememberd I made wonky houses once (2013).
    I looked up that swap to see if there was a template. No template.
    It was actually mail art size, but I think I can make them work for atc size.
     
    I have been living my artsy life in this trash to treasure mode for many years. I feel great to get others hooked on trash. Look at all the new addicts ! The first envelope is free, but once you are addicted, Then we got you !
