Description:

Since making ATCs is much cheaper than therapy. I have decided to host this swap. The point is to create an ATC about some one you hate so when its all done you can stick the hate in an envelope and send it away. Some suggestions are an ex, the girl who has tortured you since third grade or just a celebrity who gets under your skin. A way to earn hearts on this swap is to include a letter detailing why you hate this person.

So basic ATC rules, an ATC is 2.5x3.5 inches, an ATC needs to have some kind of rigid backing, and on the back you need to include your name, your swap-bot user name, the swap name and a title for your card.

Newbies are welcome with a filled out profile.

And for newbies to ATC don’t let the fact you have never made an ATC before stop you from giving them a try. If you want LavenderLizard has provided a great link below. Plus you can check out Flickr for pictures taged with ATC for inspiration.

Hi there, sorry for the silly question -- I've never made an ATC before but would like to try! What do you mean by a ridged backing?

Straycat911 - they mean a "rigid" backing - as in hard. Heavy cardstock works well. I've also made fabric atc's and used heavy interfacing as the backing. We just don't want to receive a single sheet of scrapbook paper that will get folded and destroyed.

Check out this link: http://gomakesomething.com/category/ht/atcs/ There are plenty of other good sites out there with descriptions as well. ATCs are quite fun, and can get addictive!
