GREEN ATC - USA

I would like to join this swap :) I am brand new here, so it is not showing me the Join Swap option. I notice that you said it was open to newbies with filled out profiles... that would be me :)

Make sure you are logged in and if you are, perhaps you have already signed up to your current maximum number of swaps

i signed up and it accepted me and now it says us only. I'm confused.

I'm, a newbie and I'd like to join :) I love ATC's and green is my favorite color!

Swap-bot will NOT restrict people from outside the USA from joining your swap. It doesn't have the capability. You as the host must check profiles and ban anyone that joins that does not live in the USA.

@Aumonae you can only be in 20 swaps at a time. That might be the problem? If so, put this on your watch list and when you've sent one or two of your current swaps, join up this one. Hope this helps. Happy swapping.

As a reminder, this is a USA only swap due to postage. Sorry.

For the newbies that want to join, I fixed the swap so you can join. Forgot to check the box when I created the swap.

I would like to join this swap, and as a newbie, thank you purple 24 for allowing newbies to participate.

Just wondering when partners are assigned? I am new, and I don't have a partner yet, or if I have not met the requirements, could someone help me figure that out. Thank you so much, Shannon

@Shazza1532 : last signup day for this swap is the 1st of March, so the swap host can't assign partners before that. They'll do so on the 2nd or as soon they can after that.

Thank you for the information pne - I was hoping that was why I hadn't been assigned a partner - Shannon

I am so excited about this one. I made mine already and am just waiting for a partner :)

Just a newbie question... I can make a ATC card as long as it as green in it ?

Ok found out the answer... Sorry

Thanks @pne for answering the question. Kinda slacked a few days on these comments.

Does the ATC have a size requirement?

@adancingflower , the two rules about all ATCs is that they must be 3 1/2" x 2 1/2", and they cannot be sold.

Dose a ATC card open like a regular card ? Or is it just the front only without opening ?

@cabeynon ... ATC's don't open like a greeting card. The front is your artwork. The middle is some type of cardboard. And the back is the info about the card... Title, your name or username, date, swap, edition, etc. Here is a link to a tutorial to give you an idea: http://the-embellished-artist.blogspot.com/2013/03/sunflower-atc-tutorial.html . Here is link to give you an idea what details to put on the back: http://www.flickr.com/photos/collageartistry/2746862307/in/set-72157606635472809/

Have fun!

@purple24 Thank you for your help. I did do some checking and started mine. Thanks so much for your time in answering a newbie ATC person. Having a lot of fun..
