This swap works like a regular Pick-a-theme-swap, but instead of ATCs we´re making APCs. If you don´t know what an APC is, you´ll find more information about them here:

http://www.atcsforall.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21811

I´ve also enclosed some APCs I´ve made to give you an idea!

To Play you must have:

~ an established positive iTrader rating of +15
~ no negatives within the last 6 months
~ no neutrals for lack of cards/communication within the last 3 months.
~ NO EXCEPTIONS so PLEASE don’t ask

If you think you want to play, but have questions PLEASE read all the instructions to see if they are answered there. If they are not go ahead and sign up with an undetermined theme to reserve your spot, then PM me and I will do my best to answer them. We can always open the spot back up if you decide not to join.

Please, please, please DO NOT over-commit yourself. Anyone who does not follow through will receive a negative iTrader from me and could receive a negative iTrader from each member of your group.

General Information:

~ This swap contains 4 groups of 5 members. Sign-ups will end when all spots are filled.
~ Pick a group, pick a theme. No more than 2 groups. Remember also to inform the numbers of the cards you want to receive. If you want the other players to contact you for this information, notify that after your name.
~ You must be willing to work on all the other themes in your group.
~ Make a card for each of the members of your group in their chosen theme.
~ Receive a card of your chosen theme in return from each member of your group.
~ Send cards you are proud of.
~ Once you sign up with a theme you can’t withdraw, as some artist start their cards immediately.
~ CARDS are to be in my hands on/before July 18. I know life can get in the way sometimes so if something comes up please contact me as soon as possible so we can work it out.
~ If you´ll find it too hard to fulfill someone´s theme, contact the player and try to sort things out with her. I´m sure she will understand and perhaps will give you another, easier theme you can work with. There may be some more challenging themes, so I just don´t want to make anyone stress about this, okay?

Mediums: This is a collaged/mixed media swap! Only poker-sized APCs (the same size as ATCs) are accepted for the swap, so if you don´t have playing cards with that size, you can´t participate! Remember to do your best pieces of art that are not based only on one element.

Guidelines:
- All APCs must be standard size (3.5" x 2.5", that´s the poker-size).
- At least the top left corner suit and number must be left visible.
- No heavy or thick embellishments, please! You can use them, but nothing bulky!
- All cards must be sent in INDIVIDUAL plastic sleeves.
- Remember to include your username, real name, group number and the receiver´s name on the back of every card. Otherwise it´s up to you what to put on the backside, but make it neat.
- Only original cards are accepted.

Mailing:
- All players must include a self-addressed envelope or an address-label (preferably self-adhesive). No bubble envelopes, please! DO NOT ATTACH THE STAMPS ON THE ENVELOPE, I CAN`T USE IT IF YOU DO!
- Notice that I don´t live in the US, so remember to write your complete address with the country as well.
- Put your username on the back of the return envelope.
- All players should include 2e-coin / 2 US-dollars or US-stamps worth the same amount for the postage.
- An extra card is hearted, of course, but not a must. If you want to make me a hostie, I´d appreciate something from my APC-wishlist, please (you can see it in my signature)!

PM me for my address, when your cards are ready to be send. And it would be nice to see your creations here, so feel free to post your cards on this thread.

Players - When you receive your cards from the swap, remember to leave iTrader for the Host (me) and all the other players you received cards from!

If you have any questions about this swap, feel free to contact me!
