Description:

Hello! This swap is for those of us who love those weird/funny/strange retro advertisements and photographs. Just take them and turn them into a cool ATC! Example: I have a ton of those old Good Housekeeping and Culinary Institute of America cookbooks (the ones with the very unappetizing pictures, but very cute illustrations). I could make a ton of ATCs just from them alone. Another idea could be to use printouts or cutouts from old magazines.

For the back: you could just sign and date it, but it might be fun to add more details about the front.

You could also look over your partner's profile, see what they like, and have the ATC relate to that! But it really is the sender's choice as to what you'd like to make.

You will make two (2) ATCs for one (1) partner.

To join, you must have a 4.75 rating and no "no sends" in the past six months. Newbies are welcome, but you MUST have a filled out profile! This is an international swap.

This is my first time hosting a swap, so if I've left anything out, or you have questions, please feel free to message me or leave a comment here. Be gentle! :)

well, I LOOOVE Retro, but I could never cut apart the print I have LOL. Too bad, my heart skipped when I read this, but I'll have to sit it out.

Aw, too bad! I should clarify, though: it doesn't have to be an 'authentic' old ad, illustration, etc. A copy will do just fine. I know there are plenty of us who'd hate to cut up our old books or magazines! :)

I have a rating of a "1" on an email swap a couple of months ago. I blind copied 2 partners and my second partner didn't get hers. I signed up for this swap and hope it will be ok. I see the stipulation about a no send. I did offer to resend to my partner but she refused :(
