EJ: Falling for FALL

Simple and straight-forward swap: fill a 6x9 envie (or bigger) for your swap partner with lots of wonderful fall/autumn themed goodies. Postage should be at least $1 (not including tracking etc).

THEMATIC COLORS/PATTERNS SHOULD PREDOMINANTLY FEATURE DEEP REDS, BROWNS, ORANGES, GREENS.

Some ideas:

• notecards
• stamped images
• vintage ephemera
• stickers
• chipboard
• altered journal
• hand-made items (eg coffee sleeve)
• seasonal recipe cards (max 3)
• ribbon/fibers in coordinating themes/colors
• journaling cards/tags
• rubber or clear stamps
• used or unused postage stamps either thematically related or matching the overall color scheme
• scrapbooking paper
• hand-made envies
• previous/exisiting and/or new artwork (eg ATCs, calendar pages, postcards etc)

You can include holiday items for Halloween and Thanksgiving, but the majority of items should be general fall/autumn - such as pumpkins, leaves, harvest etc - since some people do not celebrate Halloween.

Your envie should be decorated with appropriate mail art - which can include stickers but they should not be the only thing on the envie - you can use collage, washi tape, doodle or draw, sketch...use your imagination to make this something fun and beautiful for your partner to receive! :)

I'm giving plenty of time for this swap, so please make an effort and don't just send something slapped together that will be a disappointment for your swap partner.

Don't send anything gross, used, creepy, vulgar, nasty, dirty or smelly and send no later than the swap deadline.

Also, I ask that you please not send food/drink items unless your partner is ok with it and include a note for your partner - doesn't have to be a novel but at least say hi :)

No rating requirement but I will ban anyone at my discretion if I have concerns about someone not sending by the swap deadline or poor quality swaps.

PM me with any questions, ideas, comments and/or suggestions!
