ahhhh, HOME sweet HOME

this time of year, many of us start spending more time at HOME...especially going HOME for the holidays.

for this swap, the theme will be HOME. your atcs MUST feature a HOUSE as the main image.

here's the scoop:

  1. make 1 HOME theme-related ATC for 10 partners each (total # of cards is 10)...can be any style, medium & yes, sender's choice. just a note...i like stickers just as much as the next person, but please try to create sticker-free work if at all possible. please do your best work & most of all, be creative & come up with something fabulous that you yourself would love to receive!

  2. standard ATC size applies: 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches. please make your atcs sturdy, perhaps use chipboard or heavy cardstock as your base layer? & please make sure you include your name, swap-bot alias, "HOME half-MEGA atc swap" & date/yr on the backs of your cards. add'l info is optional.

  3. sending extras, while nice & generous of you, are entirely optional and thus, not required. if you do, however, send extras (& I know that some of you may do, perhaps out of habit or random kindness), please be sure to check your partners' profile pages so that you send something s/he may like.

  4. anyone w/ a good swap record (4.9 or higher) and newbies (both rated & unrated alike) with well-filled out profiles are welcomed. but pls. no recent 1s or 3s. flakers need not apply. i will check profiles & reserve the right to weed out any questionable swappers.

  5. also, please remember to RATE your partners in a timely fashion. & keep in mind that you are rating the ART traded & not whether or not extras have been included. this is an ATC swap, not a wishlist-type swap.

that's basically it. not too bad, right?

thanks for checking this swap out & hope you can join me!

happy creating!!

p.s., the above pix is a mixed media/paper house prototype i created for a book collaborative that i was in a couple of years ago.

Hi, just to make sure, the roof is included in the standard size or is it the standard size+the roof?

@artwolf2009 the roof should be included w/in the standard size pls if at all possible. i know that there are some folks who don't like stuff that overhangs from the standard size. personally, i'm ok with a little overhang, but i think most people aren't bec. then the cards won't fit in those atc pocket sheets they use to store their cards.
