Completed Page Swap - **Complete**

[TPCShauna]

Due Date is Saturday, May 31. That is when I need to receive your package.
Mail by date is Saturday, May 24, 2008, to make sure your package arrives to me.

Link to Photo Thread: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=26720091#post26720091

NOTE: I will ask you to check in every 2 weeks (by posting a check-in by date in the thread title). If I haven't heard from you by March 7, I will send a PM to you. If the PM is not answered within 2 days, I will angel your spot.

Packing and Labeling Instructions: Sign the back of your completed pages with your name and DIS name. Be sure to use an acid free pen. Place ALL of your 12x12 completed layouts for a specific group in a 2 gallon Ziploc bag (available at grocery stores/Walmart with the other sizes) or a gallon bag for 6x6 pages. If you are in multiple groups, each group should be in their own bag. Label the outside of each bag (by hand or with an adhesive label) with your name and DIS name.

Mailing Instructions: Mail in a Flat Rate $8.95 Priority box. 12x12 pages will bow just a bit in the middle but do not get damaged. Include $8.95 in stamps (+ $0.65 for delivery confirmation) or $8.95 in cash (free delivery confirmation) AND your address in one of the bags. Please do not send metered or click-it/ship-it postage as some hostesses have had issues with these. On the outside of your box, please include your DIS name and Swap name in the bottom corner.

Contact Info: PM me with your name, address, email addy and phone number if you haven’t swapped with me before. I will PM my contact info to everyone after the swap closes. If you have problems and need to drop out or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes), let me know ASAP so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help as needed.

A Final Note: This swap is a huge commitment of time and money for everyone involved as it takes a significant amount of both to create five 2-page layouts. Multiply that by 5 groups and you are making 50 complete pages. Having said that, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not sign up for more than you can handle. It is not fair to me or the other participants to expend the time and money to make something for someone who does not reciprocate. We all want everyone to enjoy swapping but we also want you to think about what you are getting into when you sign up.

Last but not least, HAVE FUN! I know we all stress about our work and that is OK. The important thing to remember is that you just need to make something you would be proud to have in your own albums and everyone will love it. If you get stumped or have a question, anyone on here would be happy to help; all you have to do is ask.

If you have questions about any of these elements, check out the Swap Glossary thread or Swap Photo Gallery thread at the top of the swaps board, post your question here or on the Progress thread or PM me. We are all happy to help!

Group H: Activities – 2 page 12x12
1. Looking for hidden Mickeys

This option has already been taken. Is there another topic in that group that you would like?

[TPCShauna]

Group G - Animal Kingdom Please

Sorry Faerie! I forgot to add that one to my list this morning and I've already started my pages. I'm so, so sorry! Do you want to do Hollywood Studios?

[TPCShauna]

Updated to here except for questions.

Please don't feel overwhelmed by this one. My first completed page swap was very hard for me until I figured out my layout and then it flew by. This is an especially good swap it use sketches on. They're a great jump start!

Thanks to everyone for signing up. I just know there is going to be some incredible work out of this group!

[KatDisney]

I have a question about the paper (the background paper) If it is patterned paper do you want these to be "matted" on cardstock or is the patterend paper good enough.

[SusieStone]

This option has already been taken. Is there another topic in that group that you would like?


I am so sorry about that.



Gift shop fun.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Do the pages have to be completely identical?

[TPCShauna]

Kat - I'm not entirely sure I understand your question (I'm feeling kind of brain dead today) so I'm going to try to answer from what I understand. Yes, it is fine if your background paper is patterned. All photo mats should then be two layers on top of that. For example, my base paper is black Bazzill Bling. One of my mats is then a layer of red with a layer of yellow on top of that. Did that make sense? Did it even answer your question? I'm sorry in advance if it didn't.

Susie - NO problem. I just couldn't get back here to update fast enough. Gift shops is all yours. :goodvibes

[TPCShauna]

Do the pages have to be completely identical?

No. I often use the same layout and mix and match papers on each set. Use up your stash, baby!

[SusieStone]

May I please change my BUzz and Woody group in 12 X 12 to Peter Pan and Wendy

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think Kat's concern is that patterned paper is not as stiff as cardstock. So do you want us to stiffen up the background?


Add me to Group 1 - Mickey & Goofy. I've got enough stuff to make four identical pages and the odd one out can be mine.

[KatDisney]

Yes you did awnser it ;) I was basically asking because I know patterned paper is so much thinner and makes the pages floppier. So i didn't know if we had to mount the patterned paper on top of card stock to make it more sturdy. I dont for my own books but I've never done this type of swap before so I want to make sure I get it right. I'm brain dead right now too, work is slow for once

[BernardandMissBianca]

1 of each 6x 6 please

1 - Minnie
2 - Tigger
3 - Belle
4 - Lilo and Stitch

[BernardandMissBianca]

12x12

D - Lightning and Mater
G - DHS if Faerie doesn't want it faerie took it or AK (first choice) or WDW if you open another group and Faerie doesn't want AK.
J - Princesses

[BernardandMissBianca]

Nevermind, edited above.

[Faerie]

Sorry Faerie! I forgot to add that one to my list this morning and I've already started my pages. I'm so, so sorry! Do you want to do Hollywood Studios?

The Studios is fine with me. Does everyone want Disney Hollywood Studios or Disney MGM Studios pages?

[Mickster]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I am trying very hard to stay out of this (money & time) and that was the spot I was eyeing up! Clearly I am having a hard time here. I've been stalking the thread since it popped up!

Yep. That is my goal in life to save those swapper from themselves. Now, who is helping me?? :lmao: :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl:

[Mickster]

The Studios is fine with me. Does everyone want Disney Hollywood Studios or Disney MGM Studios pages?

I think that I would prefer Hollywood Studios because I have a bunch of MGM stuff left over that I'm not sure I'm going to use. Thanks for asking. :)

[TPCShauna]

I think Kat's concern is that patterned paper is not as stiff as cardstock. So do you want us to stiffen up the background?

NO, you do not have to stiffen up the paper. PP is fine for a base.

Yes you did awnser it ;) I was basically asking because I know patterned paper is so much thinner and makes the pages floppier. So i didn't know if we had to mount the patterned paper on top of card stock to make it more sturdy. I dont for my own books but I've never done this type of swap before so I want to make sure I get it right. I'm brain dead right now too, work is slow for once

I'm sorry I was being dense. NO, you don't have to back your PP. It is fine as a base. It will be plenty stiff with all of the stuff you'll be adding to the top.

The Studios is fine with me. Does everyone want Disney Hollywood Studios or Disney MGM Studios pages?

Got you down. :) I would prefer Disney MGM Studios. I've been in groups before where people wanted different stuff so I just cut the letters and let them choose when they adhered it. Or, I've also asked ahead of time to get specific names so that I could do my layout for that person. I would be willing to sort for specific individuals if you want to do it that way.

Updated to here!

[SusieStone]

I would like the group 12 X 12 with Pixar friends....Could this just be Toy Story friends or does it need to be all kinds of Pixar friends?

[TPCShauna]

I would like the group 12 X 12 with Pixar friends....Could this just be Toy Story friends or does it need to be all kinds of Pixar friends?

All kinds. This group is designed for those of us who only have a couple of character pics for any given category so that we can get them all on one page. For example, I have one Mickey, one Minnie, one Donald and one Goofy so I can put them all on one layout. This would be the same for the Pixar Friends.

Is that OK?

I can do that.......

[Michellepooh]

Could I also have Group G2: Magic Kingdom if it's not already taken? Thanks so much for hosting this swap, Shauna. I can't wait to see all of these finished pages!!

[believen]

Could I also have Group G2: Magic Kingdom if it's not already taken? Thanks so much for hosting this swap, Shauna. I can't wait to see all of these finished pages!!

Could I please have Group G2: WDW (unless Michellepooh has it?) If she does, I'll take anything from groupG2

and Group D Buzz and Woody

Thanks for hosting!

[TPCShauna]

Updated to here.

believen - You have WDW. I put Michelle on the wrong one originally.

[BernardandMissBianca]

Shauna, you are keeping the sign ups open until the 13th right?

I might sign up for some more if these go well.

[TPCShauna]

The 13th is my current plan. If all of the groups fill up really fast and then there is no more action, I might close it sooner but I'm not really in a hurry.

I'm happy to say that I am done with the template for two of my groups and working on the one for my last. These really are kind of addictive. :upsidedow

[BernardandMissBianca]

My ideas are running in my head. I just need to get them down on paper. :rolleyes: :rotfl2:

[TPCShauna]

:flower3:

[notes4theheart]

May I have h3 please :-)

[TPCShauna]

Got ya down!

[BernardandMissBianca]

I put up a link in the calendar.

[notes4theheart]

yay:banana: Thanks!!

I was trying really hard to resist, but when I read the screen names of the other four people and recalled their work, I knew I had to.

[SusieStone]

I think that I would prefer Hollywood Studios because I have a bunch of MGM stuff left over that I'm not sure I'm going to use. Thanks for asking. :)

Too funny.....I have zero MGM.....but I can use either.

[PigletsPal]

Shauna,

It's been a long time since I've been in a swap so I think i need to get back in the saddle so to speak....LOL. If not already taken please sign me up for 12x12
Group A: Chip and Dale.
Group B: Pooh and Piglet.

Thanks for letting us know about this and hosting.

[notes4theheart]

Can I have J4...

:confused3 I have the such a good idea for it (utilizing computer fonts and computer graphics) that I feel like I need to do it...I knew I should avoid this thread...:rotfl:

[KatDisney]

Can I change my Cinderella Group to Aurora & Fairies I have been playing with my cricut and have made so many paper piecings in the last 2 days..lol

[TPCShauna]

Updated to here. Nice to see you, Becky!

[notes4theheart]

All photo mats should then be two layers on top of that. For example, my base paper is black Bazzill Bling. One of my mats is then a layer of red with a layer of yellow on top of that. Did that make sense? Did it even answer your question? I'm sorry in advance if it didn't.



Ok, so each photo mat should be three layers, does that go for journal boxes and toppers as well?

[SusieStone]

Thanks for the question

[TPCShauna]

Ok, so each photo mat should be three layers, does that go for journal boxes and toppers as well?

Each photo mat should be two layers on top of the base paper. The photo placed on top would make the third layer. Toppers and standard journal boxes should be double matted as well. There are more specifics in the element list in the first post on this thread.

Let me know if you still have questions.

[notes4theheart]

So, double-matted means two layers and a base for this swap. I was confused because the pictures in the examples on the thread are only two layers without a base.

Thanks:cheer2: , I just wanted to check early so I don't need to fix everything later.:cool1:

[TPCShauna]

Sorry for the confusion. Those pics are from another swap. I'll post my almost finished pages for my Fab 5 Group tomorrow. I still need to figure out what I'm doing for my title/topper but it shows the mats.

Thanks for asking!

[TPCShauna]

I just stole the following post from 123SA in the Resort thread. She explained everything so well that I am going to use her descriptions. Thanks, Susan!!!!

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/susanbillings/IMGP4122.jpg

Photomats:
the one on the left, the white layer is 4 1/4 by 6 1/4 so when you put a 4x6 photo you will have a small white boarder or mat all the way around the photo -- this first layer does not have to be 4 1/4 by 6 1/4 -- it can be larger, but it can't be 4x6 or smaller

the next layer is black 4 3/8 by 6 3/8 -- this now meets the 2 layer requirement

the final layer is 5x7 and is not required

Also note that it is embellished, in the upper rt corner there is fiber and a brad and I also counted the zebra printed paper as an embellishement.


2nd photo mat (right side)

First, notice it co-ordinates but isn't exactly the same. When I did my first swap I made my photomats match exactly. Generally, most people make their mats coordinate ...but I don't know if that is a "rule"

Here the white layer is 4 1/4 by 6 1/4, the black layer is 4 3/4 by 6 3/4. two layers. I embellished with ribbon and brads -- the photo is able to slip under the ribbon. This is important to note -- if the photo could not slip under the ribbon, then the whole thing would have to be bigger.

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/susanbillings/IMGP7744.jpg

see in these photomats with the bugs--The top photomat the light green layer is 4 1/4 x 6 1/4, the next layer I made big enough to accomodate the bugs so that the photo could be added without cropping. I think it is 4 1/2 by 6 3/4 or 7. Notice the bottom photomat does not have 2 layers -- this would not be something I turned in for a swap.



Tags:
I thik of it as one tag with a shadow -- so two layers
in the zebra set--I started with a white tag with a black shadow. I embellished it with the printed paper and the rub-on letters. Finally--notice the hole -- it must be filled in some way. With fiber, ribbon, brad, eyelet and whatever else I haven't thought of.

Journal mats

the light green box is the writing area, then 2 mats brown and then green. Embellished with the little plant and inked edges .

I hope this helps and that I haven't come accross as a know-it-all.

Thanks

[AlexWyattMommy]

I STILL want to you see your layouts TPCShauna. Please? :flower3:

[believen]

Each photo mat should be two layers on top of the base paper. The photo placed on top would make the third layer. Toppers and standard journal boxes should be double matted as well. There are more specifics in the element list in the first post on this thread.

Let me know if you still have questions.

Ok, the more I read the more confused I am! Is the "base paper" the 12x12 sheet or is it a base layer for your other layers? Does that make sense? This is my first swap. Thanks and sorry for asking the same question that you have already answered! :confused3

[AlexWyattMommy]

For this swap only...

The base is your 12x12 or 6x6 paper. Then on top of the base you put your elements. Most elements will consist of two layers.

[believen]

Thanks, that's what I was thinking and then just got confused. I have a plan and most of my stuff. Now, to just get started................

[Mrs.Charming]

I am new to these boards but I am an avid scrapper and would LOVE to get more involved!!

Is it ok for me to participate?

If so I would really like Group A DOnald and Goofy!!

You're updated! So happy to see that you are having fun with this!

I just need to add a couple more touches and I'll get them uploaded for you. The new pain meds are keeping me pretty loopy so I'm not being as productive as I had planned. BTW, thanks for answering questions for me. The pain and meds are playing havoc with my ability to think clearly.

:welcome: to the DIS Scrap and Swap Boards! We are happy to have you. You are more than welcome to participate in this swap. The only problem is that Donald and Goofy have already been taken in Group A. I'll get you added ASAP is you'd like to pick another.

I am SO SORRY that I am not being clear enough for y'all. The more I try to explain, the more I seem to muck it up. I am very sorry, ladies. The pain and the meds are really making it hard for me to concentrate and I'm apparently not thinking very clearly either. If you need more clarification, please let me know. I promise to try to do a better job of explaining.

Updated to here.

No need at all to apologize. My brain wasn't entirely functioning on that one. I was neglecting the "whole page" part of the swap every time I thought of base paper. Math I can handle, reading comprehension is something that is apparently beyond me.:confused3

[SusieStone]

I still want Peter Pan and Wendy........I am missing now.

[Mrs.Charming]

Thanks for the welcome! How about Donald and Daisy?

[SusieStone]

Thanks for the welcome! How about Donald and Daisy?

Let her do Donald and Daisy ..... I can do Pluto and Goofy.....is that okay?

[SusieStone]

Thanks for the welcome! How about Donald and Daisy?

Oh, I forgot to say :lovestruc WELCOME:lovestruc

[TPCShauna]

I fixed it, Susie. I'm sorry! I knew I had messed it up somehow but couldn't figure out what I did. Yay pain meds.

Got you added, Mrs. Charming. Please PM me your address and phone number when you have a moment.

notes4theheart - I need the same info from you as well. Whenever you have a moment would be great.

I'm off for a nap, ladies. The meds are kicking in again and I'm starting to not make sense or be able to type.

Chat with y'all soon!

[TPCShauna]

I've already switched it around but can adjust when I get up. Figure out what y'all want for sure and I'll fix it for you.

:flower3:

[SusieStone]

I want to do Pluto and Goofy....

Thanks

[TPCShauna]

Updated. Thanks, Susie!

[Mrs.Charming]

Can you add me to Group F Little Einstein's as well?

I just did a LE page for my ds's book and it came out good so I can use that design:cutie:

[TPCShauna]

Bump - only 2 more days. Any more interest?

[SusieStone]

"Can you add me to Group F Little Einstein's as well?

[TPCShauna]

Well I thought I had. I updated at home but I see that it didn't take. I just updated again.

At this rate, we're going to have a lot of groups with only 2 people. I'm not sure what to do about that.

[SusieStone]

If there is only 2 in my group, I would rather not swap....I need bulk:rotfl:

[BernardandMissBianca]

I agree with Susie, if it's just 2 people drop of combine.

[rlovew]

OKay-

I have been thinking about these and wanting to sign up but I think I have things under control enough too sign up- I would like

6 by 6 groups:
Group 1- Daisy and Donald
Group 2- Piglet 9if no one else signs up I am fine with not doing this also)
Group 3- Cinderella
Group 4- Lightning mcQueen/Tow Mater (maybe both or maybe just 1)

12 by 12: I will round out the WDW group (G2 I think) with Epcot
Rebecca

[SusieStone]

Since some of my groups will probably be cancelled due to only being 2....I would like to sign up for:


Group 1: Mickey and Friends - 2 page 6x6 – 5 slots; choose your topic; no duplicates (Ideas: Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Pluto, Chip and Dale)

Chip and Dale

Group 3: Princesses - 2 page 6x6 - 5 slots; choose your topic; no duplicates (Ideas: Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine)

Aurora

Group 4: Famous Faces - 2 page 6x6 - 5 slots; choose your topic; no duplicates (Ideas: Lilo, Stitch, Buzz, Woody, Alice, Mad Hatter, Peter Pan, Wendy, Lightening McQueen, Tow Mater, someone not on this list)

Woody

[believen]

I have a postage question. How many sets of the 12x12 layouts will fit in the $8.95 priority box?
I have finished my Best Buds group, have an idea for WDW and the paper, so I might want to add another. TIA Vicki

[BernardandMissBianca]

The pizza box uses the rectangular box, this one its' somewhere around $9.00
anyway, I can get at least 100 sheets of paper in the box.

http://shop.usps.com/wcsstore/PostalStore/upload/images/ofrb2_d.jpg

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will take Pooh in the 6x6 group 2.

[TPCShauna]

Thanks for answering the box question, BAMB.

Thanks to everyone who has added some groups. We are updated to here.

I'll talk about combining/deleting Thursday morning after sign-ups close.

[Mrs.Charming]

I am more than willing to be flexible and take a l/o to fill in a 12x12 group rather than do the Little Einstein l/o if that group gets cancelled because there are only two of us signed up!

[TPCShauna]

Thanks, ma'am! We'll see if we get any more sign-ups today and tomorrow and then shift/combine/delete as needed. I'll let you know!

[notes4theheart]

(most of you have probably seen this on another thread by now, but I don't want to miss a check in and lose any of my groups)

I'll be at the world on the 13-18th so I can't check in those days. Talk to everyone soon!:goodvibes

[TPCShauna]

Have a wonderful time at the World!

[SusieStone]

Please give me the last group in the Winnie the Pooh 6 X 6 group....Don't know which character yet but it will be one not listed.


Please go ahead and take me off the 12 X 12 where there are only 2 people since I signed up for 6 X6s

thanks

[TPCShauna]

Susie - I took you off all of the 12x12 groups that only had two members. I added you to Group 2 - Pooh & Friends 6x6 in the spot I had taken. You don't have to do Eeyore but it is available now if you want it.

At this point, all of the 6x6 groups are full and closed.

The following groups only have ONE scrapper in each group.
Pooh & Friends 12x12 - PigletsPal
Princesses & Sidekicks 12x12 - KatDisney
Good vs. Evil 12x12 - KatDisney
Kids Group 12x12 - Mrs. Charming

I'm not really sure how y'all want to handle this but I see 3 options.
1) I could put everyone into one big group where y'all will be getting all sorts of stuff.
2) We could switch everyone around to fill just one of the groups.
3) I can remove y'all from your spots.

Please let me know what you would like to do. I don't plan to close this swap until tomorrow morning but I don't anticipate a ton more sign-ups so we are going to have to do something with these groups.

Thanks again to everyone for signing up. I can't wait to see the finished products!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Pooh & Friends 12x12 - PigletsPal

You can give my spot in the 6x6 to PigletsPal. I was just trying to fill up the groups. I don't have anything sketch out or in mind for this group yet.

[Mrs.Charming]

I'd be fine with giving up my LE spot OR combining all the one-off's into a mish mash group.

Just let me know what you decide!

[SusieStone]

I'll take that Eeyore spot.

[KatDisney]

Just take me out of the groups I'm alone in. I'll just wait until the next time we do this. I'll just save my fairies for another swap :)

Could you open a couple free for all groups? I'd trade those :) just let me know. Whats easiet for you

[TPCShauna]

Susie - Got ya updated.

Mrs. Charming - Thanks for the flexibility. Let's see what happens and we'll go from there.

Kat - What do you mean by "free for all" groups? I had a scrapper's choice but no one signed up in that one. Do you want to move one of your spots into that group?

How do y'all onesie group people feel about that?

[KatDisney]

I didn't see any scappers choice groups... let me get back to you when I get home from work :)

[TinkerBean]

Ok Shauna I'm game -

How about...

Group C - Ariel

Group E - Auroa

[TPCShauna]

Updated. Thanks for joining!

[AlexWyattMommy]

IF PigletsPal takes my Pooh spot in the 6x6, I'll take a Jasmine/Aladdin spot in group C.

[Mrs.Charming]

Ok - why don't you take me off Little Einstein's and put me into Group C with Snow White/Dwarf's. Then we are getting close with that group.

[TPCShauna]

AWM - I have tentatively added you to the Princess group with Jasmine/Aladdin and tentatively put Pigletspal in your Pooh spot. I've not heard back from her yet so I don't know if that will stick but I want to make sure you get your choice.

Mrs. Charming - I've moved you to the Princess group and deleted you from the Kid's Group. Thanks for your flexibility!!!

[TinkerBean]

I'd be open to doing a scrapper's choice...

Just gotta think of something....

[BernardandMissBianca]

Didn't pigletspal go on vacation? I can't remember....

[PigletsPal]

Didn't pigletspal go on vacation? I can't remember....

Don't I wish..........:) Just working by buns off. I can do the 6x6. Thanks AlexWyattMom for offering this.

Vacation is not all its cracked up to be. I've been at the airport since 3pm for a 6pm flight(3 hour checkin courtesy of being in the metro new york area) that got rescheduled for 11:30pm. I keep telling myself that all this is worth it for WDW...but I may be kidding myself:rotfl:

I'd say I feel for you, but at the end of the day you will be livin' it up at disney and I'll still be in the crappy weather in the Philly area!!:rolleyes:

[believen]

I'll take Group E- Buzz and Zurg
I'll also do Group C- Belle (unless Susie wants her spot back-I think that is one she gave up?)
I'd so love to be on my way to Disney!

[KatDisney]

YAY! the spots are filling :) I'm so glad I really like my fairies..lol..

It was Angel. And I am SO JEALOUS that she is in Hawaii!

I'm sorry you got stuck at the airport but at least your final destination is Disney. That should help ease the sting of the delay! :woohoo:

PigletsPal - You are updated. You have AWM's Pooh spot in the 6x6 group.

believen and SusieStone - Got ya down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have ONE Good vs. Evil spot open to fill the swap. I'm going to leave it up today and hope that someone takes it so that we will have full groups. Thanks to everyone for stepping up!

[believen]

Happy Valentines Day!

Susie, Did you want your spot back for the 12x12 group C -Princess? I'd be happy for you to have it, if you want it! Vicki

[Mrs.Charming]

Ok, if no one else wants the spot, I'll take it with Snow White and the Evil Queen.

[TPCShauna]

You are d'best! I'm adding you in. Thank you!!!!

[Mrs.Charming]

Ok, I better start scrapping tonight! 15 2-pgers is a lot:crazy: God thing we have a bit of time on this one:)

[TPCShauna]

Alrighty! We are full and closed. I'll be working on a Progress thread a bit later. I have to pretend to get some work done. ;)

How do you have time for all that?!?!?!

[SusieStone]

How do you have time for all that?!?!?!

You'd be surprised. I am a single mom and work full time......:rotfl2:

I'm breaking the Cricut out now!

[TPCShauna]

You exhaust me, Susie! I :worship: to your time management skills!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Susie's awesome! I really need to be as organized as her. I might actually get something accomplished! LOL

[SusieStone]

Thanks for the good words

[SusieStone]

I have ordered the supplies that I need.

[TinkerBean]

I have ordered the supplies that I need.

Can I ask where you order your supplies from? and what do you order :goodvibes

[believen]

Any "swap" organizational tips, for a newbie, would be appreciated. I've made several lists, several times. I've already made lots of trips to HL, Jo's And M's-not great for the Ban, but I am having fun..... Thanks, Vicki

[TPCShauna]

I try to sketch my ideas out and pick out colors before I ever buy anything. Next, I check my stash to see what I have that will work with the colors I have in mind. Then I shop to get more paper to match what I already have or buy more as needed. I rarely purchase embellishments like Jolee's or stickers for my swaps. I try to make all of my embellies with the Cricut, punches, etc. I also use lots of Primas and ribbon.

I store everything for a given swap in a 2 gallon plastic zipper bag so that it all stays together. You can fit A LOT of paper, ribbon, embellies, etc. in one bag so it works well.

Let me know if you have more questions!

[SusieStone]

Can I ask where you order your supplies from? and what do you order :goodvibes

This time I am ordering from Joanns....I am ordering Jolee's this go round.

[TinkerBean]

This time I am ordering from Joanns....I am ordering Jolee's this go round.

Thanks for the info. I am new at this and not sure which online store are good

[SusieStone]

Thanks for the info. I am new at this and not sure which online store are good



I also like scrappindeals.com and baraginpack.com.

When I see good stuff at a great price - I will buy 6 if the budget can afford it at the time and then put it to the side and just wait for a swap and hope that I can get that spot....it usually works out tha tI can.

[Mrs.Charming]

Ok, this may be a stupid question but...

Since we are making 5 of our l/o's and there are 5 in each group, do we get back the one we made ourself so I don't need to make an extra one for my own book?

[rlovew]

Ok, this may be a stupid question but...

Yes you will get one of your own back-

[BernardandMissBianca]

and make sure you mail all 5, it makes sorting soooo much easier!

[believen]

I hate to ask, but if someone would like my spots.I have group C-Princess and "friend", Group E- Good vs. Evil, and Group G2- WDW


I can do it, it would just be a blessing to have some one take it!
* My SIL is losing her battle with lung cancer-she is 41 with three kids-8,9,11 father not in picture. We will have have custody of the kids. I scrap for therapy and love it, but I may have the kids sooner than we thought. We had them this weekend. Her bad days seem to be getting more frequent*

[Michellepooh]

believen- I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through. Those poor kids! If it would help, I can do the princess group for you, unless someone else really wanted it. I have all of my supplies and ideas for my other groups so it would be no problem to add this one. :hug:

[SusieStone]

God bless you for taking the kids.....

hugs and prayers to your SIL and the kids and you. God bless you guys during this difficult time.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Prayers for you, your SIL and the children.


If it can be just princesses, I can do the pages. But I don't have any "friend" stuff.

[believen]

Thank you so much for all the support, we would really appreciate your prayers. Most days we are ok, today I feel overwhelmed! Hopefully, my SIL will have many more good months and this was just a bad weekend. I pm'ed Shauna to ask her if this is how I should handle my spots. Thanks,Vicki

[TPCShauna]

Vicki needs us to take all of the spots she hasn't started.

That would be the Princess & Prince/Friends group. She is signed up for Belle but the spot could be changed to something else as long as it doesn't duplicate another member.

She also has Good vs. Evil and is doing Buzz vs. Zurg. Again, that can be changed to something else.

I'll take the WDW group.

Let me know if you can help. Thanks!

[AlexWyattMommy]

MichellePooh asked for Princess & Friends first, so she should get that one.

I'll do the good vs evil. Let me go through my stash and see what I have and I'll let you know soon who I pick to do. Thanks.

[TinkerBean]

If there is anything else, I can take over...

Vicky, I am sending some positive energy your way:goodvibes

[TPCShauna]

Thanks everyone!

[party of 3]

vicki,
i am so sorry you are dealing with this. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time.
:flower3: :hug:

[Michellepooh]

I'd be more than happy to do princesses if that's OK with Shauna. I'll have to shop for supplies, but would it maybe be OK to do a mixture of princesses (thinking to maybe use for princess meals, etc.). If not, I can stick to the original Belle theme.

believen - you are so good to take care of the children. They certainly need all of the love and support they can possibly get at this difficult time. :grouphug:

[StitchIsOurHero]

Vicki--I just wanted to send you lots of prayers and pixie dust!! How blessed those children are to have you!! :wizard:

[SusieStone]

It is so nice that everyone is pitching in!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I can do Peter Pan vs Hook for my Good vs Evil.

I'll need to order the embellishments, so hopefully they will get here in plenty of time.

[TinkerBean]

I can do group C -

Can I change Belle to Pocahantas or Cinderella?

Group C is for specific princesses so it would be preferable to stick with one Princess and her Prince/Sidekicks. You can stick with Belle or change to another Princess that has not been selected. Let me know.

Thanks for stepping up!

Thanks for stepping up! I think we have them all covered at this point but I will let you know.

Thank you to everyone for pitching in. This is one of the best things about our little group here. Everyone is so caring. It really feels like a big family!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On another note, I want to apologize for being somewhat MIA. I have come down with some sort of serious upper-respiratory crud that is now moving into my lungs. I've been sleeping as much as possible and I have an appointment with my doctor this afternoon. It feels like bronchitis and I am coughing so much at the moment that I've shredded my throat and am starting to cough blood. (sorry for TMI) Anyway, I'm here but may not be around much. I'll try to get the progress thread up and my addy sent out ASAP but I am desperately trying to get better since I have a 7 hour Girl Scout cookie site sale this Saturday and my assistant leader can't go.

Please post any questions y'all have. I'm sure someone will be able to answer them in my stead and I'll get to them ASAP if not. Thanks!

[believen]

Shuana, Hope you feel better soon. Thank you to everyone, it is so nice to get support, prayers, and well wishes. It has been the most challenging, sad situation I've ever been involved in. And I'm afraid it will get much sadder before it gets better. We'll make it, and appreciate the kindness! I know each of us have our own struggles, illnesses, stresses and many blessings. It has been so comforting to see how ya'll support each other- I lurked for while-sorry! I'm having a great time on these boards- my own little escape lol. Vicki

[Michellepooh]

Shauna, hope you are feeling better soon! :flower3:

I will either do Belle or Cinderella. It depends on what I find for supplies when I go shopping.

[AlexWyattMommy]

My supplies came today.......

[PigletsPal]

Well my 6x6 is all done. And almost done with the 12x12. Can't wait to see everyones work. Thanks for letting me know about this Shauna and for doing this.

[SusieStone]

I plan on this being my weekend project.

[Mrs.Charming]

If I EVER get rid of this horrible flu that has knocked me on my bottom since Monday I will get my pages going this weekend too. I need to buy more Bazzil, pick up my Evil Queen stickers, and I am waiting for my Happily Ever After cart to arrive.

[TPCShauna]

Thanks for the update everyone. I'm still pretty sick as well. My fever is still hovering around 99.5+ and I feel like total crap.

Sorry I've not been around. I haven't had the energy to sit up.

hey shauna!! sending you prayers and pixie dust so you can be feeling better soon!!! hang in there my friend!!

[Mickster]

All:

I am in the Group G1 and I'm doing the Magic Kindgom pages. Are we making room for maps? I know we had talked about that at one point, but I can't remember if we're supposed to do it for our pages. I know I have made pocket pages with photos on the page too, but I wanted to make sure before I made these pages. :) thanks!

I'm leaving room on my page.

[Mickster]

For a map? Or for a pocket for a map? (Boy, am I a pest...)

[TPCShauna]

Good question, Mickster! I would say map pocket but that is just me.

I'm doing WDW in G2. Do y'all want a pocket for all of the maps or am I OK since the individual pages will probably have them?

[TPCShauna]

hey shauna!! sending you prayers and pixie dust so you can be feeling better soon!!! hang in there my friend!!

Thanks, ma'am!

I'm finally feeling a bit better. My fever has finally broken and I am at work for the day but it is only 10:00am and I am already exhausted. Let me know if y'all need anything urgently. I think I'm just going to turn this into the progress thread since we've already started using it as that and all of the info is here. I'll do some doctoring early next week, PM my addy and verify that I have everyone else's info.

Thanks for being patient with me. This flu just totally kicked my butt. :sick:

[Mrs.Charming]

This flu just totally kicked my butt. :sick:

I am glad you are feeling better!! My fever finally broke today as well (the first time since Monday). Of course we had a snow day here (the first "real" snow of the year) and I just HAD to take pics of my DS out playing for my SB:cutie:

[Michellepooh]

Did a little shopping today (before the sn&* got too bad) and I will be doing Belle for the princess group.

[Mickster]

Ok. I've gotten paper (good thing it was on sale...), I have my ideas (shocker!) and now I just need to pull it all together. :)

[BernardandMissBianca]

rounded up some of my paper, ACMoore had bazzill packs on sale and the colors were perfect. I plan to finish grouping the paper tonight after the kids get to bed.

[SusieStone]

I've been tied up this week but I am still here.

Paper piecing for Pixar Friends spot. He is to journal on if you want to do so.

Susie - that paper piecing is awesome (as usual). You never cease to amaze me!!! :thumbsup2

[notes4theheart]

Wow susie, that's amazing!! YAY I'm in that group:cool1:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Just checking in.

Has anyone finished a page layout they are willing to share?

[TPCShauna]

I haven't, but it's not for a lack of trying. I'm very close but I can't get two seconds to work on my stuff. I am so busy doing everyone else's swaps since I have to mail them AND trying to make my month page total that this keeps getting pushed aside. I'm trying for this week.

I vote that Susie shows us her Pixar page. It sound DARLING!!!!

[SusieStone]

I will post it when I finish it up.

This is more time consuming than I thought it would be!

[TPCShauna]

I know what you mean. I had sketches for my Fab Five, AK and Lilo/Stitch group but I'm stumped on coming up for something for the WDW spot I took over.

What colors would y'all like to see for a WDW intro page?

[TinkerBean]

Complete Page - Do I send everything (12x12 pages, and required elements ect.) pre assembled, as in I layout everything, glue it down... Or send in everything ready to be layed out by recipient?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Nope Sister, you have to show your work. As in you make the elements, you pick the 12x12 paper, you design the layout and you glue it all down.

[TinkerBean]

Nope Sister, you have to show your work. As in you make the elements, you pick the 12x12 paper, you design the layout and you glue it all down.

:woohoo: woohoo...

[TPCShauna]

Great answer, AWM! Thanks for fielding that for me!

[TPCShauna]

What colors would y'all like to see for a WDW page? I'm thinking standard Disney - red, white, black and yellow. Does that sound OK?

[Mrs.Charming]

Ok, I finally started! I am feeling like I am having a difficult time getting all the elements to fit on the page!?!?! So here is the Donald half of my Donald and Daisy l/o (those that looked at my disney l/o thread on the s/b board may recognize it) . The Donald paper piecing is not done yet, but does this include all the requirements??

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o90/czarinahil/IMG_5325.jpg

[KatDisney]

That is SOOOOOOOO awesome! I'm not in that group :sad1: Yup you appear to have all the requirements Great job!

Each page is supposed to have the following:

one (1) title/topper
two (2) mats ON EACH PAGE large enough to fit a 4x6 photo without cropping
one (1) box ON EACH PAGE that could be used for journaling/an autograph box/smaller photo mat
one(1) large embellishment OR two (2) small embellishments

[AlexWyattMommy]

If the bomb meets the following requirement -taken from the first page- then I would say yes it does.

Journaling/Autograph box: Should be double matted and no smaller than 3”x 4”.


Stinks, I'm not in that group either. :sad1:

[Mrs.Charming]

Darn, it's long enough if you include the flame but the bomb is a bit too narrow. I will replace it with a regular, 'ole 3 x 4 box.

[TPCShauna]

Don't!!!! Just mat it and call it good. It is WAY TOO CUTE to take it off. I think the page is GREAT!

[Mrs.Charming]

Don't!!!! Just mat it and call it good. It is WAY TOO CUTE to take it off. I think the page is GREAT!

That's ok even though the actual journaling area is not that big?

[AlexWyattMommy]

She is the hostess. Her word is law. :thumbsup2



;)

We really do appreciate creativity and we do bend the set "guidelines" to accommodate. And that page is adorable just as it is.

Thanks, since I am a newbie I wanted to make sure my work was up to par!!

[TPCShauna]

The cuteness and creativity of the shape being the journal box outweighs the fact that it is a bit too small. I went back and looked and it is already double-matted so it is fine. And yes, just like AWM said, creativity is worth more than exact guidelines sometimes. Plus the fact that some people don't journal that much anyway so that shape will be more than enough for them. I think your page is darling and you should leave it the way it is. I can't wait to see the Daisy side!!!! Now I'm wishing I was in that group!

Good job!!!

Thanks so much!! It's good that it's ok since I already cut 4 more of everything:cutie: I would have redone it if it didn't work, but I am glad it does!!

[Mrs.Charming]

Can the title be a phrase that runs across both pages of the layout? (KWIM?) My only concern would be that people won't be able to use the pages separately.

[123SA]

Mrs. Charming -- I love your Donald page. I am not in tis swap but I am really looking forward to seeing the completed pages.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I don't think the pages are meant to be used seperately. This is a two page layout, so I think the title going across both pages is acceptable. I think it'll look really cool too!

[TinkerBean]

I am done with Sleeping Beauty and will post pics on my spoiler thread later on today (I hope...

I have Ariel all laid out and ready to cut...

[BernardandMissBianca]

Can the title be a phrase that runs across both pages of the layout? (KWIM?) My only concern would be that people won't be able to use the pages separately.

mine will be running across 2 pages on some. I think it will be ok, like AWM said, it's supposed to be a 2 page L/O.

[TinkerBean]

I posted my Sleeping Beauty pics here

I want to make sure that I have everything ok...

[AlexWyattMommy]

Those are very nice. I love the large letters in the background.

[Mrs.Charming]

Susan - That looks soooo awesome I hope I am in that group! (ooooh, am!)

I also posted on Tinkerbean's thread. I think I need to add something to my l/o it is too boring:confused:

Here - I'll post it again on this thread:

Mrs.Charming - Very, cute!

I'm so excited I'm in this group!

[SusieStone]

For the 6 X 6 pages, are we just doing one photo mat for the 2 page spread? I think that is right in my brain.

I've got good ideas if that is the way it is....

[rlovew]

Susie- yes my understanding is one journal box and one mat on the 6 by 6 spread.

Rebecca

[notes4theheart]

ok, I'm doing villians in the special group....

Does each mat need to be for a different villian or just villianesqe :lmao: ?

[Mrs.Charming]

Here's my finished Donald page with his lady Daisy:

Mrs. Charming...

I LOVE those - wow

[TinkerBean]

I was so happy with these pages until a little voice started questioning things.

Idiot question alert...Idiot because I put these all together and and only NOW am I looking at them saying "Hmmm I wonder if this is Ok?"

In my "creativeness" I slid the journal boxes part way under the photo mat in order to fit everything on the pages. Is that OK?

I will run upstairs and take pics now and put them in next post...

[BernardandMissBianca]

villianesque sounds good to me. That way if someone doesn't have a pic of say Ursula, you can still use the page.

[Mrs.Charming]

Just make it so the journaling tag slides in and out from under the photo mat.

Those look very nice!

[TinkerBean]

They do slide...

I hope this isn't against the rule - I can redo them I just have to put them on new base papers is all

Love the pin pages.

I'm gonna have to dye my hair now.......:rotfl:

[AlexWyattMommy]

For the 6 x 6 I'm planning on putting the photo mat horizontal on one page with the topper above it. And putting the journal box, extra element and most of the dodads on the second page. I'm pretty sure all our 6x6's will look alike. Not much room to do different layouts.


I love the pin trading. The lanyards around their necks is soo cute.

[Mrs.Charming]

We can't seem to catch a break in my house. All three of us were sick this week. And now we are all on antibiotics for various infections (ear, sinus, strep, etc) Since scrapbooking is the last thing on your mind with 102 fever, I am behind on my pages!!!

Of my three sets, I have one set pretty much completed. On set started but with a lot more to do, and one set with all the supplies purchased but not even started yet!! This is going to come down to the wire for me:eek:

[KatDisney]

Love the pin pages.

I'm gonna have to dye my hair now.......:rotfl:

I have my Belle pages completely done. I went today to get more paper to finish 2 of my groups. I have miscellaneous mats, etc. cut. So, basically I'm plugging along! :thumbsup2

[BernardandMissBianca]

hey has anyone mailed yet????

I'm starting to worry about Shauna. I'm going to check with some of our mutual friends to see if they have heard from her. If not I will probably be taking over the swap, so hang tight everyone!!!
