Participation in the COLORED PENCIL Magazine 2022 Valentine Art Exchange is easy and free!

What do you need to do?
Create a piece of art that will fit into a 5×7″ envelope.
Mail your art and a 5×7″ self-addressed envelope with two USPS 1st Class Stamps adhered to:

COLORED PENCIL Magazine
Attn: Valentine Exchange
PO Box 37
Alamance, NC 27201

Must be postmarked by January 1, 2022  Revised to January 14, 2022

Once we receive all the mail we will open envelopes by twos. We will take your art and place it in the envelope that is provided by your recipient. This way, you will get a valentine from the same person that will get yours!

We encourage you to include (only) your name and email on the back of your valentine (or inside, if it is a card) so you can contact one another.  Your address will NOT be shared with your recipient – we will use our address label in the return address area, to keep that information safe and confidential!

Send it up to 3 Valentines – each with their own 5×7″ return envelope and 2 stamps to make more art and friends this year!

SHARE YOUR ART ON OUR FLICKR! (Optional)
