Description:

So many of us love making, trading, acquiring ATCs ... but does everyone have a good storage/display solution?

An album specifically for ATCs that looks great would be an amazing conversation starter instead of that dusty old coffee table book! There are many ways to approach the making of an ATC album. They might hold just one ATC on each page; they might hold multiple. The ATCs might be held in place with photo corners, or ATC sleeves, or by some other method (but please, not permanently mounted since the artist info is on the reverse side). They might hold 20 ATCs, or a hundred. If you're lacking inspiration, google (images) ATC album and you will find many examples of other peoples' efforts (such as the one I borrowed for this swap!).

The Specs:

  • one handmade or altered store-bought ATC album for one partner

  • one ATC to go with it - this will serve as the title/ cover art and should say "ATCs" on it, or "Artist Trading Cards" on it

  • the album must hold a minimum of 20 ATCs UNLESS your partner wishes to have a smaller one

  • style of album is at the maker's discretion

  • your work will be profile-inspired - make sure you check your partner's profile for color/theme preferences

  • if your profile doesn't give your partner much to work with, then you should expect just about anything

  • may be completely handmade or you may alter/ embellish a store-bought book or album - if you choose to do the latter, please ensure that the album is altered or embellished enough to be unique - sticking a name tag on the front won't cut it

  • please make sure that there is some way to hold the ATCs ... photo corners, sleeves, page slits, etc - if you want them to just "sit" on the page, then please send removeable adhesive (e.g., glue dots) so the album is ready to use upon receipt

  • this swap is restricted to those who have completed at least 10 non-email swaps, with a rating of at least 4.98, and with no unexplained 1s or 3s in the past 3 months
