Disney Cruise Swap – CLOSED- update on page 3

[Mickeyteacher]

First I want to say that I have stolen these directions from several other hosts ( I hope you do not mind, Thanks!) Second, this is my first time hosting a swap but I have participated in several. Everyone is welcome to join- regardless of swap history!

Happy Scrapping!
Shawna
Disney Cruise Swap – newbies welcome
Here are the categories: You can begin sign-ups immediately. Please choose two elements from the following list. There is still a maximum of two slots per element. Have fun and be creative. The reason for the two groups is so that those who would like to can create and receive several elements from the same group. Ex. If you create a border in group 1, than you will create a matching piece in group 2. This is only an option; I will keep Group B open if at least one in each element is filled.

Swap due date is: July 15th

Thank you shawna, the last dcl swap is the reason I got into swapping in the first place, even though I was too late to join!

This is going to be so much fun!

Penny

[YodasMom]

I would like to do eyelets in Group A and a poem or song lyric in Group B.
Thanks for hosting!

[bubbasmom99]

I'll do journal boxes in group A and title topper in group B. Theme is Disney Cruise (general).

[Mickeyteacher]

posted up to this point- If I made mistake, please let me know. Also, some of you need to give me a theme. Please let me know. I'll be home later this afternoon- We have public school today, so I need to go and teach!

Shawna

[ddavis860]

For my theme for the 4 squares in Group A, and 2 tags in Group B, I'd like to do a general DCL Under the Sea/Beach Day. It could be used for a Castaway page, or any Disney beach day excursion. If it isn't taken already. Thanks again for hosting!

[YodasMom]

For my eyelets (Group A) and poem / song lyric (Group B), I would like to do, a beach / sea shell theme for the eyelets along with a poem on the tide and sea shells.

[Julez4u]

Alright this will be my first true swap but I think I can handle it ..

I will take
Group A - Matted Poem or song lyric
Group B - 2 borders 2 vertical

I have to think about my theme for a bit ;-)
Thanks for hosting

[rsjj]

Shawna

i really don't mean to make this as complicated as it seems...but i am still kinda "not sure"...so here it goes.


i've signed up for 2 items, (tags from group a, and squares from group b). and at the end of the sign up, when everything is filled, i would make 44 of each items (for the 2 groups, if everyone signed up for a spot, w/2 people per item, etc), right?

i really appreciate you taking the time to clear up this confusion for me. thanx!! :flower:

[pjpoohbear]

RSJJ,

how sweet, but no. You will make 22 sets of each, enough for the group of each element you signed up for. And you will get back 22 elements for each group. Some swappers will only sign up for one group or the other, but most of us fear not getting one of each great design for a swap, so we sign up for both groups.

Penny

[jennyL]

I'm thinking of making my topper and photo mats with a Water Fun theme. This could then be used for the pools, Castaway Cay, or any excursion.

[rsjj]

but in my case, i've signed up for both groups...so i would be making 44 sets, right? and i agree...i don't mind getting all the wonderful items that every one of you talented people will be making!!

again, thank you!! :flower:

you will need to make 1 set of tags for each of the 22 spots in group a (if everything fills) and 1 set of squares for each of the 22 spots in group b (if everything fills)... Does that help, if not let me know and I will help clear it up.

[ddavis860]

I need to change my theme from general DCL/Beach Day. So, For my 4 squares (group A), and 2 tags (group B), can my theme be "Pirates of the Caribbean" Party? pirate:

Happy scrapping,
Shawna

[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm so glad I got in before you closed it! I have been trying to decide if I wanted to do this one--we did the Disney Cruise last summer, and I LOVED it, but I've already done my scrapbook. DH was talking last night, and he said he would like to do another one next summer. . .so, DCL swap here I come! :banana:

Could I take 2 borders in group 1--Animators Palate? And 1 Matted Poem/Song Lyric in group 2--Sail Away Celebration?

Thanks a bunch! :cheer2:

Would you mind doing Sailaway Celebration for both. Animators Palate is already taken! :guilty:

Shawna

[StitchIsOurHero]

Sail-Away Celebration for both is great! I'm sorry--I didn't even notice that AP was already taken! :thumbsup2

[Mickeyteacher]

No problem! I will add it to the list.
Shawna

[jennyL]

My more specific theme will be the Goofy Pool for my items.

[Stitch#1]

I picked my theme:
Matted Poem or song Lyric from group A - Castaway Cay
and
Journal Boxes from group B - Castaway Cay
Thanks!

[Downrivermama]

If it's not too late, I would like Frames Group A, theme Oceaneer's Club/Lab.

[ddavis860]

Good thing this swap is closing today, I keep getting ideas...

Anyway, can I have a shaker box for "A Day at Sea"? And a shaker box for Scoops?

Thanks!!

[Mickeyteacher]

The shaker boxes in addition to the tags and squares if possible...My sizzix just LOVES swaps!

Thanks!

[pjpoohbear]

Shawna? Should my topics match? I think the idea that newbies are welcome have put me in that frame of mind, lol. I should know better, but was so excited to see a DCL swap that I signed up without really reading the instructions, lol. If they must match then I will swing my journal boxes in Group A to DCL Terminal as deck 9 seems to have lots of coverage already.


Penny

[pjpoohbear]

Scoops is disappearing come October, when the Wonder gets it overhaul. Both ships should have "Goofy's Galley" by late this year! Maybe a Goofy's Galley instead of Scoops, :thumbsup2 .

Penny

[Stitch#1]

Castaway has already been take. Can you pick something else?

Thanks,
Shawna


Opps! Sorry about that!
Ok Let's try again
For group A, Matted Poem or song Lyric - Triton's

For group B, 2 Journal Boxes - Boat Drill

Penny,
I changed your topic to DCL Terminal for both of your items. It is really nice to have two matching items so that you can have a complete page. I agree- I think deck 9 is covered.
Happy Scrapping,
Shawna

[Mickeyteacher]

Scoops is disappearing come October, when the Wonder gets it overhaul. Both ships should have "Goofy's Galley" by late this year! Maybe a Goofy's Galley instead of Scoops, :thumbsup2 .

Penny


What is the name on the Magic? Since I do not sail until June, I'm up for suggestions.... What do ya'll think?

Shawna

[Mickeyteacher]

I have closed the swap. I listed the number of participants in each group and I'm waiting for a few people to give me their themes. I will update as needed. I will send PM's out this weekend with my mailing address. I'm really looking forward to this swap! Please let me know if you have any questions.


Shawna

[ddavis860]

Penny

Hmmmmm, ya know, I forgot that was changing. I was just going through our old pics and got the idea. OK, Goofy's Galley shaker box instead of Scoops. That OK with everyone?

[Downrivermama]

Shawna,

Thanks for getting me in! We just sailed on the Wonder in March and I'm so geeked about doing my album. :cool1:

[4ltlTinks]

:sad2: Can't believe I missed the sign-ups! My husband has been pretty upset with the internet issues at our new home and now I am too!

[rsjj]

Hmmmmm, ya know, I forgot that was changing. I was just going through our old pics and got the idea. OK, Goofy's Galley shaker box instead of Scoops. That OK with everyone?

i would prefer scoops over goofy's galley...since i will be working on my scrapbook from a cruise we took in 2005. (yes, i know, it's really late! so being in this swap should make it so much easier to complete my scrapbook!!) and they still had scoops back then. but again, that's just me opinion!! :flower:

[4ltlTinks]

Thanks for letting me in! My theme will be "Nautical".

[Mickeyteacher]

two people to get me their themes and then I will send out final directions with mailing instruction. Please let me know if you have any questions,
Happy Scrapping,
Shawna

[ddavis860]

I think I'm going crazy. I wrote down that the swap was 16 people, group A and 15 people group B. Now I see that I am off by 1 person in each group...Blonde moment? :confused3

Guess I need to shop again...poor me... :banana:

Not a blonde moment- I miss counted! Sorry. I did correct it.
BTW- I counted you are getting two sets of elements. Is that right?

Too bad you have to go shopping again! :cool1:

Shawna

[YodasMom]

This is going to be great!! I just booked another cruise for the end of October, so any photos I need to go with my swap, or swaps if there is another cruise one before then, can be staged for the elements I get. Oh, I am sick, sick sick................!

[Mickeyteacher]

know that I've had a blonde moment, I think I have the numbers right for this swap.

There will 16 People in group a and 15 people in group b. Sorry for all the confusion!

Shawna

[ddavis860]

:banana: :banana:

We blondes gotta stick together.... :lmao:

Thanks for hosting...

[Mickeyteacher]

Final Directions and mailing information has been sent via PMs. I have a really busy week at school this week, as we have all of our state testing. I will only be on in the evening, but if you need anything, please PM me.

Happy Scrapping,
Shawna

[Mickeyteacher]

I hope everyone is having fun with their stuff!

S :goodvibes

[ddavis860]

I almost have all my supplies together. :teeth: I'm planning on working on things this week, and over the weekend. DH is going to the beach :cool1: , and I have to work this weekend, so I'll have lots of scrapping time. :banana:

I think you read my mind!
Between cleaning house and maybe some painting I'll be at my LSS for a class and getting some supplies. I'm Hoping to have everything done with in the next 2 weeks!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Hi! I haven't started quite yet--we are doing our state testing at school this week and all I get done is bubbling!!! :rolleyes: I'm hoping to get mine done before we go on vacation (in the next 2-3 weeks).

Everyone have a great day! :sunny:

[Mickeyteacher]

How is everyone doing? I'm working on all my stuff in between getting ready for our up coming cruise!

Let me know how you are doing...
Shawna

[4ltlTinks]

I'm done with one of my borders and one of my frames. Strange method, huh? My 2 yr. old decided to try out my trimmer using a few of the frames I had cut out, so I need to buy more paper to finish those. I'm going to get through my last week of school here and then I'll be on a plane to Disney on the 31st. I'll finish them up after I get back.

[Diana Lyn]

How is everyone doing? I'm working on all my stuff in between getting ready for our up coming cruise!

Let me know how you are doing...
Shawna

Mine are all done and sitting in an envelope just waiting to get mailed out. I figure when I go to the post office to mail the swap I'm hosting now, I'll mail these out to you.

[pjpoohbear]

Started working on mine, was in a swap for cruising at "its a scrapbooking swap thing" msn group and sent those off this week. It was more of a general cruising themed swap, so will be good for some filler pages after this years cruise.

Penny

[RealMickeysGirl]

Going ok - kinda of in a holding pattern on this one because most of my free time right now is being used sorting and packing the swap I am hosting (My first time hosting a swap so it is all new to me). I hope finish up packing that swap on Saturday then it is back to working on my elements for this swap.

[YodasMom]

I have all my materials ready to go and my ideas are firm. I just need to cut and adhere them, but this will be after I finish a couple of other swaps. I won't have any problem finishing this one ahead of time. :)

[Mickeyteacher]

I leave tomorrow morning for our cruise. I will have the mail held, so if anything has mailed it will be safe. We will be gone from 6/2 - 6/11. I will be checking e-mail but not everyday.
Happy scrapping!
Have a great week,
Shawna

[RealMickeysGirl]

:cool1: Some special papers I ordered online have arrived!! I am excited about working on my elements.

[KatDisney]

I have started working on mine and have almost everything cut out, still playing with my design, i'm hoping it turns out the way I am *thinking* it will..lol

[Diana Lyn]

I mailed mine out on Friday with your Primas! :sunny:

[Mickeyteacher]

I mailed mine out on Friday with your Primas! :sunny:

I got them today--- Everything looks great.

Thanks,
Shawna

[StitchIsOurHero]

Hi! I'm sorry it has taken me so long to check in! I have my ideas, but I haven't started on them yet. I finish summer school next week, so it is all scrapping & swapping all the time after that (HOPEFULLY!) ;) . I am excited about this swap--I loved our cruise last year, and I'm hoping to talk DH into another one! :thumbsup2

[ChrisnSteph]

I finally got all my supplies (was waiting on my LSS to get me some Prima flowers), and I'm going to start working on them today. I'm a newbie and it took me forever to come up with decent ideas, but I think they're going to turn out great! :sunny:

[jennyL]

I just finished my last piece. Woohoo. I'm going to work on packing them up tonight and tomorrow and they will be in the mail on Friday. I'll post again then.

Mine went postal today. I had to run out yesterday and by some more baggies and cling wrap so that I could get them all ready. I'm not sure where all that stuff goes to but I always seem to run out. LOL
