PPU - Pick a color PL

Swap categories: Challenges  Crafts  Artist Trading Card (ATC) 
Number of people in swap:7

Number of swap partners:1
Description:

We will each make a Pocket Letter for our 1 partner. The theme will be a color that is listed in the comments. Please list at least 3 singular colors. After you have 3 colors listed, if you want you can list a couple color combos -- perhaps your partner will get adventurous!

These Pocket Letters should include:

  • Fully decorated front of a (store-bought) 9-pocket page. More than just pretty paper, there should be something decorative done to that paper. Or use something other than paper! The decorations should be adhered and there to stay -- no pocket should be empty or have just a piece of paper in it after 'pocket-picking' out the goodies.
  • Lightly decorated back (not just plain white)
  • A short (or longer) note to your partner in one pocket. Include the swap name, your username, and “Swap-Bot” in the note or on the back of the PL somewhere.
  • At least 5 little goodies tucked into the pockets, either into the front or back, or a combo. Try to make your goodies color- themed, and they should be profile-based. Check for likes and dislikes! Common goodies include: washi tape samples, stickers, smashbook items, tea packets, sticky notes, etc. Here is a great list put together by @crescendo .

When folded, PLs fit into regular #10 business sized envies, but are often too bulky/fragile for simple mailing; check your postage requirements. The link above and the internet in general both have lots of inspiration for PLs.

I don't expect there will be an issue, since this is a group swap, but I will manually screen participants. Your profile must be filled out well and any or all low ratings must be adequately explained. I expect all participants to send on time, but if there's some emergency, please contact your partner and me before the deadline. A late swap is grounds for a 3 rating.

Recap:

  • 1 decorated Pocket Letter in one of your partner's colors (or a combo of colors if they have listed some)
  • Containing 1 short (or long) note, and 5+ profile-based goodies
  • Contact your partner and me if you will be late!

My three color choices are: * GOLD * PINK * CORAL

For my color combo...hands down TEAL AND RED! Imagine a table scape---- white linen table cloth, a TEAL table runner, vintage doilies, and milk glass vases filled with assorted RED ROSES! (swoon) Add a tea kettle filled with fruity tea, a few vintage tea cups and saucers, scones, a stack of happy mail waiting to be opened and a small wicker basket of stationery for reply letters and you are part of my fantasy world! (dreamy sigh) *If this doesn't inspire you, message me and I can select again. :)

Hi all! I deleted the comments from people not signed up, and also extended the date a few days since it took me a couple days to assign partners. Happy swapping! PM me (or your partner) if you have questions/concerns. :)
