Anything but Standard Sized 'ATC'

I am constantly inspired by journaling cards, dies, patterned paper and my rubber stamps. I love to use all of the above for ATCs. But they don't always fit quite right or in the case of journaling tags or dies, don't always meet the size requirements of a typical ATC. So for this swap, please make TWO non-standard size or shape of ATCs.

So think about a square, flower, heart shape or even something way out there like a palm tree, baby carriage, animal etc. You can do a rectangle but at least one side must be at least 3/4" different than a typical ATC. So 2.5" wide is ok but then make it 4.25" long. It really is just a small piece of fun art! Minimum smallest measurement 2.25" and longest 4.25". A standard sized ATC with a fold you can undo or some sort of pull out or flip up piece is good too. Also acceptable is a standard sized ATC with an overall thickness of at least 1/4". Not in just one spot but pretty much the whole thing, and not just thick but some reason for it like a shaker element, special layering like true paper tole, little doors that open etc. Anything but standard. DON'T FORGET: THIS IS FOR TWO ATCs. (To help me remember!!)

Remember this is Spoiled Swappers. You MUST spoil your partner! Extras are nice but not required; your art alone should spoil your partner. Make it nice! :)

This is not a pass-it-on or trade swap. You must make this yourself.

*If you use rubber stamping, please stamp cleanly; missed areas, smudges or double lines are not acceptable.

*Please check your partner's profile and avoid dislikes both in colour and theme. You may make this profile based if you wish.

*Please do not use computer generated images or sentiments because I have been very disappointed by images printed in very poor quality lately. (If you print them well using very good quality paper and ink, your partner won’t know and can’t rate you badly for it can they?? Wink wink!) And no magazine cut outs.

*Please make a beautiful ATC you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive.

*The ATC must include a total of at least 3 layers and/or embellishments. You must use all quality craft supplies. No cheap junk.

*Make sure your work is clean and precise. No glue should show and straight cuts need to be straight. Colouring needs to look adult, not like a child did it. Please don't be discouraged by these rules. I am only referring to general tidy practices, not tiny flaws. I've received a card so saturated with glue I could knock on it and get hollow noises! I've received a note book with edges that looked like they had been cut with a saw! I just expect tidy work!

*Please have a 4.97+ rating to join and no 1's EVER or 3's in the last 6 months. I will accept explanations of course, PM me ahead of the sign up deadline. Newbies are welcome with WELL FILLED out profiles (About Me, Likes, Dislikes at least) and MUST PM me at least 3 days before the end of the swap to show good intentions. A newbie is someone with less than 5 completed and rated type 2 or 3 swaps. If you see a flaker has joined, don't worry, I will weed them out but there shouldn't be any on a group like this! If you are really worried, give me a heads up! I’ve been flaked on so many times, I've stopped keeping track, so I get it!

Enjoy, Rebecca
