OMG You must read ALL the Info below! Some of you don’t and when you mail your cards, I can tell you didn’t read it. Please do not use too much tape, remember to add my address to your SASE and send an extra stamp to help with internationals. Please read the swap guidelines it only takes a few minutes. I WILL give neutral ratings to those who do not follow swap guidelines. Thank you! Hugs! Love! Peace!
Cards Due: In My Hands March 1st
Cards: 3 for 3 OR 6 for 6
If your cards exhibit extreme lack of intention or poor workmanship, and there are no other cards with which to swap them out of equal creation, I will return them to you using the SASE provided! Send what you would like to receive! (For the insecure artists: if you’re insecure about you art, you’re doing something right LOL, honestly: if YOU like it, we will too!)
Please read these threads if you have not, to ensure your trading success! Don't assume you know this information!
ATC 101: How to Make an Artist Trading Card
HOW TO: Pack & Mail your Cards for Swaps
Media and Card Specs:
* Cards are welcome in ANY medium! Fabric, papers, paints, METAL even... go for it. I ENCOURAGE layers!
Don’t slap on a photo of a tree from a travel magazine and call it an ATC
* (No digital ONLY (meaning, please add other media to your digital card!) and NO photocopies). Each card needs unique hand-added-additions.
* Limit embellishments to THIN only, please.
* Nothing bulky or heavy or your cards will be returned to you at your own expense: this isn’t a chunky ATC swap *hug*
*
Put your USERNAME on the backs of your cards (to make sure the other artist's know whose work they received and so I don't give you your OWN cards back!)
*
Please put clear plastic sleeves on your cards! If your card won't fit, you made it too big! Cut it down!
*
DO NOT tape the daylight out of your cards! A single strip of that cloudy scotch tape will be sufficient! Pleas fold the ends to create a little tab so I can easily remove it. Don’t make me eat your cards in frustration LOL.
SENDING INFO:
Please PM me for my address! *hugs*
* US players Send a SASE (Self Addressed, STAMPED envelope) please, with 44 cents on the envie, please. Send an extra stamp if you send me six cards!
* ALSO, each U.S. participant is requested to send one Loose stamp (44 cents or more) to help cover international returns. This is a swap method I employ, in order not to limit international players. We are having an economic crisis right now, so if you seriously don’t have an extra, I will spare you my teddy bear wrath, but really,
it’s less than 50 cents! *hugs*
* International participants must send a self-stick label (
NO SASE please!) and I will cover postage and envelope. An extra ATC (in this theme only please lol) is nice, but not required.
PLEASE send US postage or a dollar bill instead if you have it! <3 <3
*
Put your USERNAME on your return envelope please! Your SASE MUST HAVE my Address written in the Upper Left Corner!! My PO NEEDS a return address, and if I have to write my address a thousand times, I will get really cranky, my hand writing will get bad and if there is a problem, your returns won’t come back to me and will be lost forever.
* Players - when you receive your cards for the swap, remember to leave iTrader for the Host (me) and, though NOT required, Rep Points for the people you received cards from! The Mods spend a lot of time correcting iTraders that should have been Rep Points.

Ah! I thought I had written this here! I apologize to anyone who may have been wondering about their iTrader.
I now give it after I have received it for several reasons:
1) I waste a lot of time looking for the names; if I get an iTrader notification in my PM box, it's much easier to leave you one.
2) the time I save not hunting, I can spend writing a little note, like" thanks for the extra stamp, and the hostess card was lovely, purple is a favorite color!"
3) I spend a lot of time on these swaps and usually one third to one half of the participants never leave ME any iTrader LOL. I'm not the kind of person who is going to hunt some one down for a point (heck, I've got a bunch of points already and it's too easy to turn it into a status symbol; which seems counterproductive at a site called ATCS For All lol), but if I take the time to leave one I would like one in return.
I will only leave a point early if requested by PM (not in the thread) and the request is made by a newbie trying to earn points to get into a special swap.
and I heart Mermaids.
