CC Thank You series - January is for insects

For this swap series you will create 1 handmade 'Thank You' notecard + matching envie every month in the chosen theme.

You will also include a 'little something extra' in the chosen theme.

The notecard is for your partner to use, so leave it blank inside. Write a seperate note / sheet of paper for the swap info. Make sure the card and envie both correspond to the theme and each other. The envie does not have to be handmade, but it needs to be decorated and the card must fit in it comfortably. Just make 'em match.

The 'extra' can be store-bought (etsy counts) / handmade. 'Little something extra' ideas:

• 1 bookmark
• 1 ATC
• 4 inchies
• another notecard (any 'greeting' / blank)
• 1 flat stuffie
• 1 postcards
• 1 small writing pad
• 1 post-it notepad

You get the idea. Do not let the list limit your thinking. As long as it's quality and buggy, it's fine. Wow your partner.

January will be dedicated to insects. Not getting too scientific in definition. So butterflies, fireflies, spiders, dragonflies, ladybugs, etc.

This is sender's choice. You may suggest what you would like as inspiration in the swap comments, but rate fairly. I do not want anyone going crazy looking for 'the male one-eyed, rainbow fly of This-and-That Land' imagery. The more options you give your partner, the more likely they can go stash-diving and send you great things :)

Communication is key. Be fair and nice. We are all adults here.

Min 4.95 rating. No recent 1's and 3's. Newbies welcome with well filled out profile and rated swaps. If your profile suggests that you are a constant late sender, give this swap a skip. It's one of my first 'public' swap and don't want drama. I will ban as I see fit. I will be going through profiles with a beady eye. Rather safe than sorry.

This is international, so allow for enough travel time. I would suggest 6 weeks as fair.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. If this goes well, I will continue with the series. Suggestions for future themes are welcome.

Summary:

• insect theme for everything
• 1 x handmade 'thank you' card and envie. Card must be handmade, envie can be bought and decorated. They must match.
• 1 x low cost extra. Handmade or store-bought.
• Make something great.
• Rate your partner.

Let's have fun everyone :)
