Newbies ATC or Matchbox Making Kit

Can't afford to mail overseas right now, then this is for you. If you're like me, as a newbie you don't have a lot of supplies. Or maybe you've done other crafts and have stuff you can turn into atc or matchbox supplies. So it's your choice, you make a kit for either atc's or matchboxes. If you make a matchbox kit, try to put in a copy of the template for one so people can make their own boxes if they like. match box template: http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/matchbox.htm

I don't always have the little matches so making my own has been fun. So, let's put together something for each other. You can use recycled items as long as they are nice, in excellent condition, no trash please! Take time putting this together and make it something you'd love receiving.

It's fun getting kits from others around the country because things are so different from everywhere.

This should fit into a 6x9 envelope (nothing smaller than the 6X9 envelope)

What you send: (all of these are minimums, feel free to send more)

-1 completed free theme ATC or matchbox (preferably made with your swap partner in mind) Be sure to put your info on back of the atc so the partner will be able to give you a rating or in a note. And, please, please mail on time. If you cannot do that, please don't sign up. Let's not make this a dissappointment for someone who doesn't receive one. If you don't receive one, please let me know asap.

-5 pre cut backgrounds of cardstock weight or heavier or if making for matchboxes, put in 5 pieces of card stock thick enough to make a box from the templete and a copy of the template. -5 different patterned papers at least 5"x7"

-5 different found papers (junk mail, used stamps, advertisements, receipts, vintage post cards, used greeting cards, the possibilities are endless) atc or matchbox size is great.

-1 small sheet of stickers

-3 Fibers at least 8 inches each (ribbon, thread, yarn)

-5 of one other type of embellishment (brads, buttons, eyelets, metal pieces, game pieces, beads, flowers, graphics, etc. (nothing too small like 5 tiny beads or put more in)

Let's really make this package nice. No JUNK! Try to include some of the things they have on their profile or wish list. Or if they don't have stuff listed, please email them.

Swapper Requirements: You must have a rating of 4.0 or better with no 1s or 3s in the past 3 months. Newbies welcome with a filled out profile.

This is a great way to get some ratings. So please make every effort to make it a nice package. I know your partner will appreciate that and it could even get you a heat!

Please no flakers! I reserve the right to ban anyone I feel won't follow through.
