Description:

I am an avid lover/collector of magazines, if for no other reason than it inspires me to tear things out of them and use them in ATC's, collages, etc. Magazine clippings work great for any type of artwork!!

For this swap you will tear things out of a magazine, whether it be letters and words, photos, colors, or whatever sparks your eye. But there's a catch: you must pick a "theme". So for example, if you want all of your items to be about love, you'd pick words that correspond, colors that you asociate with love, or pictures that you associate with love.

You will want to have a nice stack of items: at least 25-30. You will also want to include a piece of paper decorated like stationary with a few of the clippings, along with paint or anything else you wish to glam up your letter to show your partner your theme, as well as write a description of what your clippings are about.

You will also decorate the front of a blank greeting card with the same theme, and include a blank envelope.

This swap is intended to get your partners juices flowing and give them a bit of inspiration from old magazines they may have lying around! This swap is senders choice!

To sum it up, you will be sending your partner a bunch of magazine clippings in your theme, a decorated letter corresponding with your theme, and a blank greeting card decorated in your theme with an envelope.

You will have 3 weeks to complete this swap!

I am only accepting swappers with ratings of 4.98 and above, and no unrated swappers. I'll drop anyone who is questionable for any reason, including reported non-raters. NEWBIES are WELCOME with the same rating requirements.

HAPPY SWAPPING!

Would join this if there were a longer turnaround time, maybe 2 weeks? A good swap idea, though!!

Love this idea. Fun!!! I love to clip and cut and I am a magazine lover also. sounds great. should we check profile before we choose a theme or is it sender's choice?
