ATC Bag #148 (USA)

UPDATE--Don't send a bag to someone who has already signed it. If you are partnered with someone who has signed a bag in your possession, please start a fresh bag so she has new cards to choose from. Also: Don't send a bag home unless all of the slots have been filled (i.e., a full bag).

NEW Rule: Do not include any of the Speedy Found Image ATCs--the ones that are simply an image pasted to a piece of cardboard. They're not true ATCs. If you find any of them in an existing bag, please replace them with true ATCs.

If you already have an established ATC Bag to pass along, great! If not, here's how to start a new one:

1. Take a small envie and write your name and address on one side. On the other side, write instructions such as "take out 2 ATCs and add 3." You can choose to have the person take or add as many as you wish. (Note: New bags MUST start with at least 4 ATCs so players have an assortment to choose from.)

2. Create numbered lines for participants to sign. You can decide how many lines to include (# of passalong players) The last person will sign and send the bag home.

3. Place the ATC bag (envie) inside another envelope, and mail the package to your swap partner.

When you receive your ATC bag, follow the sender's instructions and pass it along in the next round after partners are assigned.

Rate your partner a 5 if you receive an ATC bag that fits the swap description. Do NOT rate down because you don't think the ATCs are good enough. Hearts are always optional.

The ATCs can be made by you or other artists (cards you've received that do not fit into your collection). Do not send sticker-slapped cards you've made.

No Newbies, no exceptions. No unexplained 1s or 3s. You must have participated in at least 20 Type 3 swaps
