Description:

I hope the title of this swap is somewhat self explanatory. I am hosting a Valentine's Day ATC swap and realized that I had the inkling to make some ATCs that weren't celebrating valentines day, but rather were sort of making fun of it in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way. Since that swap did not specify that was allowed, and I don't want someone to be expecting all cutesy romantic cards and get "hum-bug" type cards instead, I decided to host a special swap for this type of card.

There are no specific guidelines as to what would qualify for this. Basically, these should be ATCs that are sort of hum-bugging valentines day. You can use any sort of images (vintage, modern, retro, etc.) but the overall theme of the whole set of ATCs you send should be that of "bah-humbug, who needs Valentine's Day?". PM me with any questions.

You will send at least 3 ATCs to one partner. Can send more if desired. ATCs must be on a solid substrate and the standard size. Stickers are allowed, but they must be part of a nice design. Do not just slap a sticker on a piece of cardstock or doodle a little bit and call it done. Make these the type of quality you'd like to receive.

Must have at least 4.8 rating with no ones or threes in the past 6 months. Newbies must have a completely filled in profile or contact me with links to their other online swapping/trading/selling profiles.

No flakers allowed.

I like this idea but 6 cards to one partner is probably too many for me. Watchlisted.

I just want to confirm that this is for ATCs, not greeting or postcards. I personally prefer to make my ATCs in groups of 3 (so at least 3, 6, or 9) and send them to fewer partners rather than sending one card to many partners. Those who are watching, please let me know how many cards you would prefer this swap to be for. 3, or 6? Nine is too many to require, and anything less than 3 is hardly worth it.

I am canceling this swap. There have been no signups yet, and I was planning to make mine in advance if the swap was going ahead. But since there is evidently no interest, I will cancel the swap. If you are interested, and were planning to join, please let me know. I will not cancel it until Friday, so please contact me before that time if you plan to do this swap.

Uhm... is this still going or are you canceling? o_O;

PM me if it's still going.

I have changed this to three cards. If there are any people watching who were hesitant about doing six cards, please feel free to sign up.

I haven't recieved partners yet - is this swap still being held? Please let us know if it has been cancelled.

I'm sorry. I ended up having to work all weekend and didn't get a chance to get online. I am assigning partners now. Thanks for your patience.
