Each participant will choose to make:
12 @ 2 ”x 3” tags (2 groups of 6 with different styles please}, or you can option to make:
24 @ 2” x 3” tags {4 groups of 6 with different styles please}
You will receive 12 or 24 back according to what you choose to make. Keep them fun, pretty, and "Winter/Christmas Theme” - please no religious themes. A 12 x 12 sheet will cut exactly 24 in this size. You can fancy cut your corners or ends if you so desire.
Pinterest idea boards HERE.
Keep them as flat as possible, but must have different elements to add interest. You could add bits so the receiver can open it up or make it 3-D by bending or unfolding.
Paint, stamp, hand cut designs, hand drawing, etc. No stickers please! They will be similar to an ATC, just slightly smaller. Decorate the fronts and leaving the back with a simple TO: and FROM: - maybe a border, but leave room so it can be personalized. No signatures.

Holiday colors - silver, gold, green, red, winter blues, sparkle & shine
Send a return address label written and sized as you want it attached to your envelope. Canada and US: please send $2.00 for 12 or $4.00 for 24 for postage. International: I will cover. As an option, international participants can send bits and bobs. (I do love ephemera - real postage stamps and bits from different places)
Sign up in the group database and choose either 12 or 24 to swap; list your themes, if you have them. Note: themes can overlap - it will just give everyone an idea of what is being created. Mail so I have them in hand for turn around before November 15th. Sign ups will close on October 31st. Try to mail out in the first week of November, so everyone will have them before Christmas.
1) SPROUTING: Geared toward the artist who has recently begun their journey into mixed media, these swaps are open to all group members, regardless of experience. Participation is the key - caring and sharing in the spirit of friendship and fun. Every artist needs to understand that contributors to these projects can be of any level of artistic experience.
