SWL ~ Mail Art January

Happy new year!

You are more than welcome to join this swap if you have never participated before, or if you have never done mail art before.

For this swap you will have 5 partners & a month to send to all of them. The idea is that you send to each partner throughout the month, not all at once, or at the last minute. PLEASE don't join this swap if you can't do this. Send to all of your partners gradually through the month. Bare in mind international partners! I will not be sending reminders when to send to your partners, it is up to you. Therefore please be responsible and good with time management.

Below for you are some themes for each envie. Please choose at least 4 themes to use given on each envie. You don't have to use all of them but TRY!! ;) if you super creative then go for it! I'd love to see everyone trying to use as many as they can :)

Combined themes do not count as 2. For example using an "orange stripe" for orange and stripe, doesn't count as 2 from the list. That could be either a stripe, or orange. No cheating. ;)

Please don't sticker slap, write a quote on a plain envie & call it done, or send a pre-made decorated envie from the store. It's called mail art for a reason! Anything goes as long as it fits at least 4 themes somehow and you get creative.

Include at least a note inside for your partner explaining themes you used. Surprises/extras are up to sender. Perhaps let us know what you have planned for November and/or what you did this month.

For partner 1: Bright colours, smiley face, stickers, stripes, travel, stars, yellow.

For partner 2: Silver, vintage, blue, books, angels, polka dot, symbols (@{}&*), inspiring quote.

For partner 3: Clouds, nature, black and white, used stamps, letters, food and drink, foreign words, animals, address label.
