2) Email your postcard design to us at lilliemaiden@gmail.com with the subject: "Summer Postcard Exchange". The deadline is July 25th for me to receive your email. Your email must include your mailing address so we can ship the other postcards back to you. ^_^
3) The tireless vinyl staff at L&L will then resize the postcard designs we receive to doll size (about 1 x 2 inches), print them on thin cardstock, cut them out, and reorganize them and send each participant a postcard from each of the other participants so the more people that participate, the more postcards each person will receive.

*As a reference, the cost of everything last year was nearly double of everyone's $5, and I covered the additional cost out of pocket. (You are welcome to donate more if you would like to help with the costs, but it is definitely not required!)*
5) When I receive your design, I will reply with a confirmation, as well as details for sending the $5, which ever method you prefer.
6) Your postcards will be mailed out by August 15th, and hopefully by the end of summer, your dolls will have a barrage of postcards from all over, like you see in these photos of dolls who participated in the Summer Postcard Exchange last year. ^_^
7) All ages are welcome to participate but if you are under the age of 13, you must ask your parents or guardian to enter the postcard exchange for you.
8) International readers (outside the USA) are welcome to participate, and there's no additional cost above the $5.

If they agree, I hope you enjoy designing a postcard! ^_^
DeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! :D
DeleteSounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be able to join! ^_^
DeleteIs this current?
ReplyDeleteYes! We are doing it again this year!
DeleteGood! I don't read dates usually and I read this like in December so I didn't know.
DeletePerhaps you mixed it up with a different post? I only posted this on Friday.
DeleteIf I can get it together, in what dimensions (pixel x pixel) and what resolution would you like the design?
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's rectangular, I can resize it. :) The higher the resolution the better but I was able to resize all the designs last year without much difficulty.
DeleteI'm in! I'm just trying to figure out what I want to do - I got the inspiration, I just have to figure out the execution.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! :D I can't wait to see it Boom!
DeleteI have a question. Are you the only one who would get my address? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBella
Hi Bella! Yes, I would be the only one to see your mailing address. I am the one who prints out the postcards everyone sends me and mails them out back to everyone.
DeleteI'm not going to be participating this year. Maybe next year...
DeleteBella
I'm sorry to hear that. :( I hope you'll be able to join in next year! ^_^
DeleteHi.
ReplyDeleteI'm running a little late - I hope to have my design to you tonight, but it might be tomorrow morning - would that be ok?
Thyme
Hi Thyme! That's not a problem at all! Thank you for the head's up, I'll make sure to leave a space for you on the printer template! ^_^
DeleteMade it! I've just emailed my design to you now
DeleteThyme
