Running an atc swap is pretty hard work, as I found out for myself when I ran my first swap. I decided to go for the theme "Folk ~ Primitive Art" as I hadn't seen any of those in recent art history on www.atcsforall.com. As it was my first swap I was allowed to have 12 players. It was so exciting to see people signing up to play! It showed me that it was a pretty good choice of theme!
Above (in the last photo) are all the cards I received in the swap. So I had 12 x 4 as they all included a hostess card for me! I absolutely loved receiving all the delightful creations in the post. It was like my birthday every day.
I decided that I wanted to make a card for each of the players too - so I could send them three back and an extra from me to say thank you for joining the swap. These cards are in the first two photos.
I had great fun sorting through the cards, deciding which ones I was going to have as the hostess card and then dealing out three different artists to each player.
