Photo pocket letters

Do you like taking photographs? Would you like to have a new way of sharing those photos with others?

Photo pocket letters!

Take either 9 or 18 of your photos that you're really proud of -- 9 for a one-sided pocket letter, 18 for a double-sided pocket letter.. Scale them down to ATC size.

Either print them on sturdy photo paper or print them on ordinary paper and then back them with a sturdy backing.

It's better if all the pictures have the same orientation - either portrait or landscape - otherwise the overall effect doesn't look right.

On the back of each card, put the same information that you would put on an ATC - name, Swap-bot name, date, title of picture (if it has one), etc.

Now arrange the pictures! Play around with possible arrangments until you get one that shows the pictures off best. Think of yourself as a gallery or museum curator, creating a display of wonderful images!

Add a letter in one of the pockets, telling your partner about your photography or about the pictures you've included in the PL.

No goodies required for this swap.

It's up to you --

Themes - you can either do a mixture of photos or go for a particular theme such as spring, flowers, my town, birds, architecture, somewhere you've travelled, abstract, green, etc.

Either 9 pictures or 18. If you go for 9, consider putting backing paper in behind them, so that if your partner keeps them in a notebook, it's attractive on both sides of the page. If you're working to a theme, it's fine if you want to make one side of the page one theme and the other side a different theme.

Minimum rating 4.99. You must have done and been rated for at least 8 Type 3 swaps. I will drop anyone who has late swaps on their dashboard or who hasn't logged in for over a week when I assign partners..

I'm running this swap in two of my groups as well -- Digital Art Divas and Crafty Collective: New Journeys. Pop in and have a look!
