Be Creative 15 Days in May

This is a really challenging swap! Between May 15th-30th, you will go through this list. After that, you will send all 15 things to your partner no later than June 10th. Not all of these things are completely crafty, but we all need a break every now and then, right? :)

EVERYTHING IS SENDER'S CHOICE UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED!!

Here is the list, starting with May 15th:

• Write an introduction letter about yourself. Minimum one side of paper. (bigger than memo pad)

• Make an ATC (sender's choice, anything goes besides sticker slapping) (May 16th)

• Put together 3 washi/deco tape samples at least 12". (May 17th, etc.)

• Make a 4x6 or 5x7 postcard, and pick out a store bought postcard as well (no zazzle)

• Pick 5 used stamps (no duplicates, no standard flag forever stamps. put them in a small baggie)

• Make an ATC sized zentangle (no it doesn't have to be colored)

• Write about your day on a standard sized memo paper.

• Make an inchie (any media, any theme, no sticker slapping)

• Make an envelope (any size, must make it yourself)

• Pick out or make a blank notecard

• Pick out three book and/or magazine pages. (No ads. Minimum size 5"x7")

• Make a twinchie (any media, any theme, no sticker slapping)

• Pick out a small profile surprise for your partner

• Pick three blank pieces of paper (stationery, ephemera, memo sheets, etc.)

• Write an ending letter talking about your experience doing this swap. Would you do it again? Did you enjoy it? What was your favorite project? Somewhere between May 31st and June 10th, you will package everything up into a bubble mailer or whatever it will fit in, and ship it out with a tracking number. (Tracking number is absolutely mandatory!) Make sure your items are safe from damage.

Please don't send smelly/used/damaged items (used for the exception of the stamps.). There is no requirement to purchase brand spankin' new items, but please do NOT send anything you wouldn't like to receive in return.

For the ATC, inchie, etc, the point of this is to be creative, so please make your own, and do NOT STICKER SLAP!! If you make cards (The ATC, inchie, or twichie) that just have stickers on it, you will risk not receiving a five. Any level of experience is welcome, just use your creativity. Please also use a sturdy backing. Extras are not necessary as this is already a time intensive swap.

Now, the extra important stuff. This swap is for rated swappers with no lower than a 4.98 rating and have at least 30 rated type two and / or three swaps, having at least ten of those be type three. No ones or threes in the last three months. No exceptions. This is a NO FLAKE ZONE! Non-raters and late senders will not be welcome to any of my future swaps. Have fun, and happy swapping! If this goes well, I'll make another one for June.

Feel free to ask any questions. Youtube is your friend for learning how to make some of these! You can make most of them at once... but it'd be a lot more fun to do one a day. :) Someone can make an International version if they'd like!
