I'm all caught up on swaps and need something to do this week so this will be a quick turnaround swap! One of my favorite things about making ATCs is that a lot of times you learn something new, especially if it's a profile-based swap. The goal of this swap is to learn something new but also to help others learn something new. You will have 3 partners and you will make each partner 2 cards for a total of 6 cards. One card will be an ATC you make based off of your own interests but might be considered obscure to your sender. The other ATC will be a card you make based off of something you read on your partners profile that you were unfamiliar with before researching. The point being to make your partner a card they will love while you learn something new. For example, I have no idea who Lady Gaga is but I might see my partner lists her under "music likes" so I would find out who Lady Gaga is, make my partner an ATC inspired by Lady Gaga and perhaps learn something knew. Who knows, maybe I will like her music?? Let's say then for the second card I read on my partners profile and see that nowhere on their profile do they mention gardening. I am going to assume she knows little about gardening and so then I would make them an organic gardening-themed ATC. It would be nice if we could include little notes along with the ATCs saying what we learned and what we hope to teach with our ATCs. Please let me know if you have any questions! Newbies welcome, experienced pros with a 4.8 please. |
