Die cuts, stickers, stickles, flock, ink, chalk, brads, charms, flowers, eyelets, ribbon/fiber, sewing, tearing, embossing, stamping, clipart, additional layers of paper beyond double mats, specialty paper (such as embossed, glitter, Bling).

If you can not think of a way to embellish your item, without it looking weird, you can provide an embellishment not attached to your item, such as a Cricut icon cutout, or a set of 4 brads/eyelets, a yard of ribbon/fiber, etc.

I want to be sure that everyone is okay with the requirements for this swap. We have new swappers who may not have read through the stickies that discuss how to make the elements and I can always use a refresher myself.

The photo mats must have at least two layers. A minimum of 6-1/4 x 4-1/4 and a shadow of 6-1/2 x 4-1/2. You can add larger layers underneath if you are adding a border or embellishments that hang over. You embellishments must not interfere with the placement of a 6x4 photo. This means you can pop-dot to lift up the embellishment or adhere your ribbon/fiber to the back of the mat. Please test fit your mats to make sure they work okay. This does mean that rub-ons generally don't work well on mats. You may include those to be added on after the photo is down if you wish. I don't have frames as an element because most dies make them so small that you have to cut your photo. I don't want to make some one have to cut a photo to use an element.

The journal boxes will have a minimum of THREE layers. The layer you write on must be at least 3x3. You can start with a larger writing surface if you wish. It can be a solid or lined layer. It works best if this layer is not textured. Then you will have TWO more layers under that. Be sure your layers work with your embellishments. You don't want to cover too much of the writing surface. If your embellishment might do so, start with a larger writing surface.

If you pick the tag element - it must be no smaller than 2x3. I like mine larger, but that is because I love to use up paper. I never reuse the scraps I keep. This should have two layers, an eyelet or brad or fiber/ribbon in the hole. You can also do the stapled on ribbon/fiber over where the hole would be. It also needs to be embellished in addition to the mentioned fiber/ribbon. A pretty brad in the hole doesn't count even if it is nice.

The letter should be cut on the Cricut at 4". Or you can use a punch if it is at least 4" and comes with a shadow. When cutting on the Cricut, it may not come out exactly 4". I have no idea why this is so with some fonts. Even with the shadow it may a bit smaller and that is okay. Your letter should have two layers - top and shadow. If your font doesn't come with a shadow than please use a shape or something else to layer it with. But remember, that doesn't count towards the embellishment unless that shape has at least two layers. The embellishing of letter is not going to be strict nor need to be elaborate. It can be simple - like embossing the top layer, using fancy glitter/glossy/embossed paper, or distressing the layer. You can add Jolee type stickers, Primas, Brads, gemstone/bling, die cuts or icons.

So there are no hard feelings later, I want you all to know that part of my job as hostess is to make sure the basics are met. I don't judge style or techniques. I tend to like those I can't do. I just make sure the basics are met. If they are not, I will be sure to let you know and you can either remake them and send them to me if there is time or on to the swappers in group. It is very rare that such needs to happen. I think so far I have had one person not make enough and they just made the extra elements and I popped them in the baggies and one person did use embellishments that I could not lift up to slide photos under.

If you have questions, you can PM or email or post photos here. Everyone is generous with their praise and they give good advice.

Happy swap making!!

[tyniknate]

Surprise me because I can't make up my mind. Give me a letter and I'll tell you the theme I think of...Can I do that?

[AlexWyattMommy]

I gave you "J". It was one of the ones I picked for you last night. :)

I was thinking a Jungle theme would be easy to do. :thumbsup2

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Is "S" okay in group A?

S is fine!!! They are pretty generic so I don't mind! (I took E for my name.) Put me in for the S and if someone else wants it, you can switch me out.

[AlexWyattMommy]

:thumbsup2

I'm pretty sure the general color one it won't really matter about the letter.

[wdwmickey]

Good Morning!!!

May I please have:

Group A: O & Z

Group B: E--Enchanted Tiki Room & L--Little Mermaid

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oooo, I can't wait to see what you do with Enchanted Tiki Room :thumbsup2

Either Jessie or Jiminy Cricket or Jammin' Jungle Parade I think. I'll have to narrow down a theme now! :rotfl2:

[mommy2mrb]

Are you sharing a spot? If not, you will each need a second letter for each group. :)

[Ohana 4]

Mine's right. Can I do general Jungle? Or does it have to be the Jungle Parade or Jungle Cruise (AKA something specific?)

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine's right. Can I do general Jungle? Or does it have to be the Jungle Parade or Jungle Cruise (AKA something specific?)

General Jungle is okay. I feel you can use it for either or. We aren't making "titles" where you are stuck with one thing. :thumbsup2 I'll put down Jungle.

[mommy2mrb]

I have started the players list.
Please make sure I have you with the right groups and letters.
Thanks. :flower3:

mine is right!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Are you sharing a spot? If not, you will each need a second letter for each group. :)

I need to take a short pause. Forgot I have a haircut today and then later one two dental appointments. :sad2: Good thing they give reminder calls. :rotfl2:

I don't expect a mad rush while I am gone, but I will ask PN96 to check in. She can change the OP as needed.

[wdwmickey]

Oooo, I can't wait to see what you do with Enchanted Tiki Room :thumbsup2

I have a couple ideas. It's one of Rachel's favorites in Disneyland so I have to do a good job--she already asked me to make a set for her :rotfl:

My groups are correct :thumbsup2

I would like group A - letters I and K.

Thanks!

[PrincessNancy96]

If there are two letters left in the first group may I join in?

I'm filling in for AWM til she gets back from her hair appt. looks like U & X are open in group A.. would you like them?

[PrincessNancy96]

May I play?

I would like group A - letters I and K.

Thanks!

I'm filling in for AWM til she gets back.. I have you add to Group A; letters I & K... Don't panic because your name is in Cyan... I did that so AWM knows at a glance they are new additions since she left and she was take the color away when she double checks everything! ;)


This leaves 2 spots open U & X that I have a note out for threeiscrazy to determine if she would like them since she inquired if any were left open!

[threeiscrazy]

I'm filling in for AWM til she gets back from her hair appt. looks like U & X are open in group A.. would you like them?

Sure!

[PrincessNancy96]

Sure!

Alright, I will get you added to Group A; letters U & X...
Your name with be in Cyan but don't panic..it's just so AWM knows who was added..

[morgansmom2000]

I'm going to regret it, but I'm sitting this one out. Please keep me in mind if you need an angel, though.

[PrincessNancy96]

Please mark me as an angel!

Group B still has openings... Group A is FULL!!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

:flower3: Thank you so much for doing this for me Nan.


I will go make the changes to the swapper list and the color changes to the OP.

:dance3:I am so excited that we filled up the first group.:dance3:

[PrincessNancy96]

Anytime! It's no problem at all!!!
Wish I could commit...but have lots going on for now.... my lists aren't even worth typing up..it's easier to write them on paper and not type them up because I add to them routinely!!
Can't wait to see how this come out!!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

[catinthehat35]

I have a completed list of our themes.

Rhondagreene

Thank you for letting us join! We are so excited to be participating!!!

[Ohana 4]

If you need some volunteers to help fill in Group B, I'm willing to do a third letter.

O for One Hundred One Dalmatians

If anyone wants it, though, please give it to them.

[AlexWyattMommy]

If you need some volunteers to help fill in Group B, I'm willing to do a third letter.

O for One Hundred One Dalmatians

If anyone wants it, though, please give it to them.

For all of us to take three letters, I would need to drop one swapper. I just can't do that yet. It would have to be a last resort.

If you take two more letters, then you would get two complete groups. If you take one letter, I could take the other; but how do we divide that up? Every other letter or first thirteen?

[csmeader]

I would love a spot in Group B...not sure if the ones listed in the first post are still open?? If so I can take any letter...just need some suggestions on nouns...I have been try to think of some and have come up short so far!!

[tyniknate]

How about Z-Zurg ( Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin) & Y - Yeti (Expedition Everest)?

[Ohana 4]

Ok, no problem. It looks like it will fill without any problems anyway! :thumbsup2

[AlexWyattMommy]

I would love a spot in Group B...not sure if the ones listed in the first post are still open?? If so I can take any letter...just need some suggestions on nouns...I have been try to think of some and have come up short so far!!

The ones in magenta are still open.
If you like Z-Zurg and Y-Yeti, they are yours. I'll put you there for now, if you change your mind, just let me know.

[tyniknate]

Ya know.....I was just sitting here thinking (Can U smell the smoke?). We should have done an alphabet for characters and a separate alphabet for places and things. I'm always a day late and a dollar short with my ideas. Love these sets....they're so easy to use on a page.

[AlexWyattMommy]

If I thought we could get enough folks, I would so be willing to separate out what we already have.

[tyniknate]

I'm totally up for it - I'd even take some extra spots in the group to fill them up. What does everyone else think?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Characters and Verbs

Places and Things

???

[tyniknate]

That sounds perfect. I think we are a dangerous pair! :littleangel:

[AlexWyattMommy]

:rolleyes1 I have that effect on people. :angel:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I just need a few more swappers to say they are willing to do that, and I will fix the OP.

[Ohana 4]

Me! I will do it. But I can't sign up until tonight cuz now I have to work. Boo

[csmeader]

[QUOTE=AlexWyattMommy;38153469]The ones in magenta are still open.
If you like Z-Zurg and Y-Yeti, they are yours. I'll put you there for now, if you change your mind, just let me know.[/QUOTE

Sounds good..thanks for the help I never would have come up with those two on my own!

[AlexWyattMommy]

That's okay. I would be leaving this open until the weekend anyway. :thumbsup2

I just need one more to commit and I'll make the changes.

[tyniknate]

OK Girls, Here I go with the begging. Oh Please, Oh Please, won't you say yes to signing up to just one more group? It's just one little old group. Luvmy3kiddos - I know you're up for it.

[tyniknate]

Oops, wanted to get your attention with that last post, but didn't mean for it to be quite so obnoxious. Sorry. :flower3:

[mommy2mrb]

I would be willing to do another group!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

:rotfl2::rotfl2:

Girl, you can go back and edit it to a smaller font. :rotfl2::rotfl2:


I'll go make the changes.

I will keep the current list as a copy on my Word doc. So in case I can't fill both groups, I will go back to this original one.

[tyniknate]

As I always say "if you're gonna do something - go big"
Can't say I'm not enthusiastic. :lmao:

[mommy2mrb]

I'm already thinking of what I want to do!! need to check my stock pile and then go to Mike's!!

this will be so fun, I haven't swapped for so long and these will be perfect for our WDW trip in April:cool1:

[AlexWyattMommy]

This means that

hiclarke
and
rhondagreene
and
Ohana 4

will either need to pick another two letters for both groups or pick a different subject to stay in one group.

Everyone else transfered evenly.

[wdwmickey]

OK--I'm a little slow ;) I'll be willing to make more, just a bit confused--how many sets of each will we need to make in the specific groups? 26?

[wdwmickey]

Can I change to A for Ariel and L for Lilo in the character group, please:)

And I'll add another letter for the places group--let me think for a few minutes.

[csmeader]

Ok since we are switching the groups around..I do not want Y and Z anymore...I want

A for Ariel
E for Eeyore

I'll probably sign up for the places group too, just need to think...

[Disney_rider]

Hey I'll take A and F for all 3 groups I know I have group A and C for group B
I'll do
A- Ariel
F-Fireworks

Is that cool with everyone :)

[csmeader]

Ok since we are switching the groups around..I do not want Y and Z anymore...I want

A for Ariel
E for Eeyore

I'll probably sign up for the places group too, just need to think...

Bummer I just missed out on A so I'll take J for Jasmine and E for Eeyore

[AlexWyattMommy]

Ariel is a popular girl. :rotfl2:

wdwmickey asked first, so if you could also pick another one Disney_Rider, that would be great.

[csmeader]

I'll also take in the places group

C for Cinderella's Castle

[AlexWyattMommy]

And it is currently still THIRTEEN sets for each letter. :thumbsup2

[mommy2mrb]

I will take L for Lion King and M for Monster's Inc.Laugh Floor in Group 3

Thanks!

[Disney_rider]

Hey I'll take A and F for all 3 groups I know I have group A and C for group B
I'll do
A- Ariel
F-Fireworks

Is that cool with everyone :)

Ok well scratch the A I'll keep F. And then I'll see what's left.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'll also take in the places group

C for Cinderella's Castle

One more letter please. :)

[wdwmickey]

I would like to also do B for balloons OR S for Small World. Your choice AWM :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think I am updated to here. Please check my work.

I am going to pick up children and take to dentist. I can check in on my Droid. I just cant change the OP until I get home.


Thank you all for rolling with these changes :flower3:

[csmeader]

One more letter please. :)

B for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique (sorry I know I probably butchered the spelling!)

[tyniknate]

May I have P for Pirates of the Caribbean and D for Dinosaur.

[MusicalDisneyDreams]

Could I please sign up for...

Characters:
Winnie-the-Pooh
Zurg

Places:
Grand Floridian
One Man's Dream

Thanks! :upsidedow

[AlexWyattMommy]

Those sound great.

[mommy2mrb]

Okay so I'm trying to figure out how much paper I will need for each letter...

if I get pattern paper to use for the letter and one layer each for the photo mat and journal box (the other layers I would use plain color's)?

do you think 10 pages would be enough? its been so long since I swapped, want to make sure I have enough!!

thanks for your help!

[Princess Jayne]

ooh that character and verb group is such a good idea! trying to decide if i'll have enough time to make stuff for another group! hmm!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Wow guys!! You went crazy since this morning!!!! LOL OK...question first...my D for Dumbo is really for the ride...so should that be group C? Then, if you did not give that B for Balloons to Cheryl, can I have that? Next question, do you want me to change my W for Wishes to something else since we have fireworks? I can come up with something else. It's not a problem. For Characters, I can take I for Incredibles.

So...that would give me:

Group B (Character / Verb) -

I - Incredibles

Group C (Places / Things) -

B - Balloons

Then Dumbo would be either group B or C and Wishes may or may not be dropped. I guess I need to know what you think before possibly picking something else.

LOL it's hard to really plan it, right? I find that I can get 3 mat layers out of a 12x12 sheet, about 4-6 letters out of a 12x12 sheet (depending on the font and which letter) and about 6-9 journal box layers out of a 12x12 sheet. So, for each letter you are looking 10 or 11 to be safe. You will probably end up with extra though. Don't forget you have the extra element to do also!! :thumbsup2

So, for each letter you are looking 10 or 11 to be safe. You will probably end up with extra though. Don't forget you have the extra element to do also!! :thumbsup2

Thanks, the math is making my head :headache: :rotfl2:
most of the elements I am going to make won't need much of the pattern paper.
I'm trying to use what I have in my piles, but only enough of one paper to do one letter....guess I will have to go shopping :rolleyes1

No problem!! It made my head hurt for a second too!! LOL Actually reading through this thread hurt my head for a second...this morning it was at 2 pages when I got off...maybe 3...now it's at 7!!! :scared1: I think I sorted it out now...well not really but sort of! :rotfl2::rotfl2:

[mommy2mrb]

I know, I'm trying to be creative and use a different element for each letter! I think I know what I want to do, its just finding all the stuff I need.

[wdwmickey]

Lisa--that's how I figured out paper amount too :)

Erin--I think the "B" went to Bibbity Bobbity Botique (could be wrong though) ;)

AWM--did Mickey Teacher send you her wish list? I seem to remember her asking for a sign-up buddy.

:headache::headache::headache:

Crap!

She did and it didn't save to my word doc when I did hers and Disney_Riders.
I don't even remember what it was now.


So I apologize ahead of time to the person I have to bump out when I find out what hers was. I will be happy to give any of mine in exchange for it. I picked easy letters for the specific groups.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Could I please sign up for...

Characters:
Winnie-the-Pooh
Zurg

Places:
Grand Floridian
One Man's Dream

Thanks! :upsidedow

Glad to have you here!

Wow guys!! You went crazy since this morning!!!! LOL OK...question first...my D for Dumbo is really for the ride...so should that be group C? Then, if you did not give that B for Balloons to Cheryl, can I have that? Next question, do you want me to change my W for Wishes to something else since we have fireworks? I can come up with something else. It's not a problem. For Characters, I can take I for Incredibles.

So...that would give me:

Group B (Character / Verb) -

I - Incredibles

Group C (Places / Things) -

B - Balloons

Then Dumbo would be either group B or C and Wishes may or may not be dropped. I guess I need to know what you think before possibly picking something else.

I took out Dumbo. D is already taken in Group C.
B is also already taken in Group C.

You had Wishes first, if you want to keep it. Let me know if you do or if you have another idea or another letter you want.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Ok...think I have it all figured out now. I will keep Wishes if everyone is ok with getting two similar sets?? Anyway, here are my new choices...let me know if hey work!! Group B - X - piXie dust (not really a verb, but does it work?) and Group C - Z - Zebras (like from te Safari??) I'm having a heck of a time coming up with any ideas for the letters that are left!! If these don't work and you have any suggestions, please send them my way! :thumbsup2

[AlexWyattMommy]

Whew. No bumping of you needs to happen. :thumbsup2 MickeyTeacher wanted general and she can fit right in my spots.

[AlexWyattMommy]

If these don't work and you have any suggestions, please send them my way! :thumbsup2

:rolleyes1 PiXie dust would have worked, if I didn't already have it. :teeth:

Zebra works for me. Or you could do ZZZZ, like in sleeping and use the sleeping Pooh or Sleepy as your focal point.

[Disney_rider]

So do I need to pick one more letter for group B?

[Mickeyteacher]

Can I have these in addition to the Group A letters.


Group B is Disney Characters and Verbs specific
D -
H -

Group C is Disney Places and Things

N- Finding Nemo (Can be used for Epcot or AK)
Z- Zugg- the big statue at the end of Buzz Lightyear.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

:rolleyes1 PiXie dust would have worked, if I didn't already have it. :teeth:

Ok...Ill do Z and think o the subject matter...either Zebra or Zzzzzz. How about Q for the Queen of Hearts for the other?

[threeiscrazy]

Ok...Ill do Z and think o the subject matter...either Zebra or Zzzzzz. How about Q for the Queen of Hearts for the other?

What about piZza planet? would that work for the Z? I want to play in the other groups, but have too much going on between now & the due date :sad1:

[threeiscrazy]

Forget it, I was thinking it was for the places group...my bad.

[RhondaGreene]

I would like to drop group B, And I would like N for the Nemo Ride in group C. I hope that this will work out.:yay:

[wdwmickey]

AWM--I hate for you not to be able to play :( What if those of us in the general group each made 14 sets and you made an embellishment set? That way you could still play? Just brainstorming ;)

LM3K asked for Z in the post above.
You asked for N before RhondaGreene.
So I can give you N, but will need another second letter.

[AlexWyattMommy]

AWM--I hate for you not to be able to play :( What if those of us in the general group each made 14 sets and you made an embellishment set? That way you could still play? Just brainstorming ;)

I could make 2 spots. A #sign and Mickey Heads?

But only if everyone has enough stuff to make 14.

Thank you for thinking of me. But really, as hostess, it is my job to make sure the folks who asked first get the right spots.

[AlexWyattMommy]

So do I need to pick one more letter for group B?

Yes, one more letter please.

[Disney_rider]

Do we HAVE to do 2 letters for group B? I'm reading all the posts and looking at what's left and I'm not comming up with anything good. I wanted to get something that I can use my new Toy Story Cricut cart on but that's not happening :-(
Maybe R for Rides....
...

[AlexWyattMommy]

I would like to drop group B, And I would like N for the Nemo Ride in group C. I hope that this will work out.:yay:

I'm afraid MickeyTeacher asked for N first. Would you like to pick another letter?

You would get back only half a set of letters if you only did one.
You don't have to be in both groups, it's okay.:hug: It is getting harder to pick things.

I don't know if Rides will work since it is more of a thing like Group C and not a verb.

How about you take T and do Toy Story Midway Mania and I make Tinkerbell work for X?

[Disney_rider]

Deal :-) I really want a whole set

[AlexWyattMommy]

Ooops. That is a ride.
How about just Toy Story characters in general?

[Disney_rider]

Heck yeah that's Pimp I'll make tags that look like the bulleyes just so everyone could use it for either a meet and greet or the ride :-)

[RhondaGreene]

I'm afraid MickeyTeacher asked for N first. Would you like to pick another letter?

Okay this is getting to be a challenge!! :headache:
What if I did
Group B
U: under the sea

If that doesnt really fit the category then I will keep trying! LOL!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have you in Group C with Catinthehat35.

If that is where you are supposed to be, then Under the Sea sounds like a Place to me.:thumbsup2

[Mickeyteacher]

But only if everyone has enough stuff to make 14.

Thank you for thinking of me. But really, as hostess, it is my job to make sure the folks who asked first get the right spots.

That is a great idea- I feel bad for booting you out of your swap.... I'm happy to make 14 of each to let you play!




Group B is Disney Characters and Verbs specific
Y - Can I do Yummy?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Isn't Yummy an adjective?

Just teasing you teach.:)


Yes, I think Yummy will work.

[Mickeyteacher]

Isn't Yummy an adjective?

Just teasing you teach.:)


Yes, I think Yummy will work for a Verb.

Yes- it is... it has been a long day. DH got a new job and I'm making dr appointments very quick in order to get everything done before it runs out.

Just give me another letter and I will figure something out... with help from my dis sisters.
S :)

[RhondaGreene]

I have you in Group C with Catinthehat35.

If that is where you are supposed to be, then Under the Sea sounds like a Place to me.:thumbsup2

Yes! I would like to be in Group C Places and things not in Group B Characters and Verbs.

[AlexWyattMommy]

MickeyTeacher

I think I am getting blonder.

I already had you in two spots in Group B. It was Group C you needed a spot. I did give you Y and made it Yummy tummy so it is a "thing".

If I am messing you up as much as me, please make sure you straighten me out.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Yes! I would like to be in Group C Places and things not in Group B Characters and Verbs.

Whew. That is at least one person I now have correct.:)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I gave Ohana 4 and hiclarke the last two open letters in Group C. Hopefully you can make them work.

They both need to pick a second letter in Group B. That means I just need two more swappers to make that one Full.:)

[Mickeyteacher]

Group B is Disney Characters and Verbs specific

D - MickeyTeacher - DUMBO
H - MickeyTeacher - Hollywood (For the Hollywood citizens in DHS)


Everything else looks great! Did we decide on 14 for the first group?
S :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

Even though I feel terribly greedy about saying this without more swappers giving their opinions, I'm going to say yes to 14 in the first group. I really want a general color ABC book. I'm weird that way. I like the thought of a color matching book.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will fix everyone's groups in the second post tomorrow.

I working off the laptop right now at soccer practice, tethered to my Driod. It's a bit slow.

[Mickeyteacher]

I think that is ok. If you want to retake the letters, I can do some general embellishments/ journal boxes/ mickey heads for each person.
S :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

Nah, it's good. I've got some pretty good paper for the Mickey Head elements. The number # elements will just be the general colors.

[hffmnheidi]

Can I have...
Group B
N for Nemo
K for (lion KING)

[wdwmickey]

[AlexWyattMommy]

Group B

Yes. I will update at home. Battery died in laptop. Glad to have you.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think the sign ups are updated to here.
I'll work on the proper groups tomorrow morning. :thumbsup2

Okay, I fixed it up to now.
Please check my work. I'm seeing letters dancing in my head. Wonder if I will dream about them too.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I agree...you should definitely be getting a set of the general colors!!! It's only one more of each thing to make...no biggie! :thumbsup2 I think I am all set now, right? This was a confusing sign up!!!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Ummmm....quick question...I'm sorry to be a pain. :sad2: I am not super sure about either of my choices for group B (Incredibles and Queen of Hearts). If it would not be a big issue, could I switch? I am so sorry...I know this has been crazy on here (please don't throw rocks at me!!) I think I just picked something to pick it and I was running in and out, so I missed a lot of the in between stuff. Anyway, after more rational thought, I would like to know if I could do U - Ursula and O - Out of this world. I know the O isn't really a verb...maybe an adjective phrase...but thought it could be used fairly widely..Tomorrowland anything, Mission:Space, Buzz pix, you get the idea. Anyway, if you would rather me just stay, I can...just thought I'd see. Even if you want to only switch one of mine, that's fine too and either will be good. Ok. Long post over!

*OK...I thought it over a bit more...can I keep Queen of Hearts and change Incredibles to Ursula? Please and thank you! I promise this is the end of my mind-changing!!! LOL

[Ohana 4]

Finally home. Looks like I have a choice for Group B. If R is still available, I'll take that, character. Rex from Toy Story

And for V, I'll do Vacation.

[hiclarke]

Okay, I think "I" is open in Group B due to a change - if that is still open, I'll take that and do "Imagine". I am fine with what is in group C - I just need to think a little on a "Q" word if that is okay!

Hannelore

[Ohana 4]

Q is a hard one! You could always do Q for... queue. :rotfl2: It's a place.

[wdwmickey]

Ann--my groups are correct in post 2, but, my screen name is spelled wrong (no biggie just wanted to let you know) ;)

[mommy2mrb]

Ann, I'm good with doing 14 for group A too....besides just trying to keep this all figured out is a feat in its self and you should get a full set IMO!

Okay now for a vent.....went by my local Mikes after picking Megan up...they have little Disney stuff, no indivual papers only packs it was pretty pathetic...got to try Joanns and the Mikes by my mom's tomorrow.

[Disney_rider]

Okay now for a vent.....went by my local Mikes after picking Megan up...they have little Disney stuff, no indivual papers only packs it was pretty pathetic...got to try Joanns and the Mikes by my mom's tomorrow.

I agree with the crappy selection of Disney papers at Mikes anymore. Even there regular paper they now have are pricey and random in there theme'ing.IDK if you have Jo-ann's ETC in your neck of the woods but ours here in AZ got a ton of new Disney paper now even Bambi and dumbo!!!:banana:
If you need anything dont hesitate to ask me I would be willing to send you paper and just pay me for it :hug:

[wdwmickey]

I agree try JoAnns when I there on Monday they had a TON of single sheet Disney paper.

[Disney_rider]

Hey peeps sooooo I was going through my sketches for my Frontierland ideas and check this out for the letter "F" In an Old west Font style and going from bottom to top
Dark Brown Cardstock Mat
Kraft Color Cardstock Second Mat (think paper lunch bag) paper (distressed) I'm gonna crumple the paper and use Tim Holtz brown Ink lightly smeared on it. so it looks old west beat up. And the letter paper is Red Bandanna and or cowboy paper.

God I hope that makes sense to everyone.....
For those of you who don't know me I am more of a mixed media artist now than a scrapper but my first love is PAPER!!!! I still love scrapbooking I'm just branching out now.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Ann--my groups are correct in post 2, but, my screen name is spelled wrong (no biggie just wanted to let you know) ;)

:hug:

Thanks for telling me. It would be annoying to see your name misspelled every time you looked at it.

Okay, I think I am updated to here.

I like the idea of Queue for the Q in places & things. If you have the Mickey or Pooh or even Princess carts - cut their full body shapes on blackout at about a 1-1/2 and line them up on the bottom of your mat, box and element. Using a lined pattern paper for the Q and we get a cut play on the word. :thumbsup2

Surina, I think I get your idea and it sounds pretty cool.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh, and our JoAnn's has better Disney paper than Michaels too. Hobby Lobby only has the paper packs and page kits for paper.

[PrincessNancy96]

I can take O & Y is someone can give me some ideas.............

[icesk8abc]

I knew, knew, knew I should have gotten a sign-up buddy. I will definitely be scraplifting a bunch from group A... and B... and C. Making 3 ABC books for my nieces and nephew. We leave for their first trip in 24 days, 23 hours, 14 minutes and 27 second (nope, I'm not excited at all):laughing:

I look forward to seeing everyone's great work!

[tyniknate]

Wow, things got crazy overnight. AWM - if you wanna smack me for suggesting the change I'm ok with that. My DH says I need to keep my bright ideas to myself.

For all of you posting that you have a Joann's with lots of Disney papers....would someone be willing to pick some up for me and I'll pay for it and the shipping? I only have Michaels and AC Moore and the selection at both is really crappy eventhough they are fairly new stores. We do have a Joanns, but it is a really tiny store and they only carry the 81/2X11 papers. Go figure!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I can take O & Y is someone can give me some ideas.............

Out of this World - with a space theme was a really cool idea. I have paper if you want it for this one. Oh boy - would also work I think.

Y is a little bit harder. I think we can all agree to stretch the limits for this one.
So how about YoHo with a pirate theme or Yellow balloons or Yawn with a nap theme. Or Yippee or Yee Haw.

Thanks for taking the last spot. :hug:

I still can't believe this swap filled up in 24 hours. It's crazy.

If we have more people who want to play, I would be willing to open up another group. I think the general color one would be the most useful and easiest to complete.

[AlexWyattMommy]

:rotfl2: It was a fun frenzy last night. I am not usually so fluid. I think we did really well with change on the fly like that. :thumbsup2

The Disney papers are $0.99 to $1.99 each sheet. What kind do you think you want and how many? I need to go and look at stuff anyway, so I can certainly grab you some too.

[hiclarke]

Due to popular demand, I will do "queue" for the letter "Q" and AWM - I am so stealing that idea from you! Thanks!

Hannelore

[mommy2mrb]

I will be off to Joanns this morning, there is a "SuperStore" one by my mom's that is supposed to have everything :cool1: I will report back what I find incase anyone needs something they can't find at their stores. :flower3::flower3:

AWM, Its great we got all the spots filled so quickly, I'm excited to start working on these, pretty much have my ideas done, just need to find all my stuff.

Have fun creating everyone!! I love everyone's themes!!:love:

Lisa :flower3:

[wdwmickey]

Went to Hobby Lobby last nite and got the cutest paper & ribbon & ribbon slide flowers for Lilo :) I have most of the general paper, but, I'll also being going to JoAnns sometime this weekend if anyone wants me to look for stuff :) So excited to start cutting!!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

:dance3:

It is great to read about the excitement. This was a really great idea and thank you so much to Susan for letting me take care of it. :hug:

I think I will be scrapping this swap much sooner than my other ones. :)

[PrincessNancy96]

OK, I think I will do "O" Out of this world..... spacey theme (what kind of paper do you have? Maybe I can find it up here or swap you for it?)

Y ~ y oy! Yawn is good...but I do like Yee-Haw....but then I thought of Yo-Ho but I can't decide... can I have till Saturday to decide on that one?

I'm off to search the net for some ideas!!! *well after I DIS of course*

[AlexWyattMommy]

You can have until they are due to decide. :)

FYI - everyone can change their mind as long the new idea is not a duplicate and stays true to the theme of the group. :thumbsup2

[tyniknate]

AWM - it's hard to know what I "Need" without knowing what they have. If you listen to hubby I don't need any more paper. But, Disney paper is getting harder and harder to find here. I trust your judgment - you know what is a must-have. :goodvibes

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have "blue atoms" by Paper Pizzazz - this one I know Joann's still has.
I also have 9 sheets of the "Superman Outerspace" by Creaive Imaginations. This is an out of print paper. I used it for Tomorrowland and Cosmic Ray groups in different swaps.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Are you need lots of sheets for your groups here? I will pick up some of each new paper for you, but don't want to give a boat load of what you won't use. Your DH would kill me. ;)

[tyniknate]

Lets see.....I have my papers for group A. I found them two weeks ago at a tiny little scrapbook place we happened to run across. They were a steal! So, I guess what I'm looking for is just some new papers for my personal stash. I get tired of using the same ones over and over. Nothing too specific - like I don't think I would use paper with Bambi on it. Anything general disney, Mickey or the fab 5, or such would be great. How about 3 pages of each for whatever you find?


Maybe we should have a paper swap for those of us who live in a scrapbook-challenged area?

[AlexWyattMommy]

No Bambi or Dumbo or Lady and the Tramp, just general and fab 5. :thumbsup2

[tyniknate]

You're one smart cookie! Oooohhhh cookies......now I'm hungry - again! :mad:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Me too! I am currently waiting for my frozen Nardone's pizza to reheat in the oven. I wish I could figure out how to defrost it so it has the fresh from the frig taste.

[tyniknate]

Nardone's Pizza? I thought that was a Pennsylvania thing. You get them all the way out in Ohio? Guess they've gone big-time. My kids love them. There's a box in the freezer at all times. Nothing beats a cardboard crust with lava-hot molten cheese on top. YUM! Now I want pizza AND cookies. :scared1:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I wish I could find it here. My parents brought it with when they visited.

[tyniknate]

Where in PA are they from?

[AlexWyattMommy]

They live in ny now, but are from the wilkes barre scranton area.

[Ohana 4]

So excited about this swap. It's been a while for me, and I can't wait to get started. I'll probably not get to until Monday, but I will probably complete by Wednesday. While kids are in school and hubby at work, I'll be at play! Everyone has such great ideas, too!

Now, I just have to wait for another page swap. I know the "season" is almost at an end and the good stuff won't start happening for a while, but I could really use a good page swap!

[Ohana 4]

AWM,
I notice my letter still has TBA in Group C. "Vacation" is what I chose. You either didn't see it in my post or it's a bad idea. I'm willing to take another, more Disney-ish, theme if anyone has any ideas.
Just sayin...

[tyniknate]

I think vacation sounds fine. Who can't use a vacation set?

[mommy2mrb]

Back from Joanns and Mikes up by my mom's....
Joanns had more disney paper, not alot of the typical black/red/white/yellow, so I had to get something with black/white that will work...
had problems figuring out what to do for my Lion King and Monster's sets, think I figured it out, but had to change up some stuff...
the other Mike's was about the same as the one by me, oh well...
I didn't get up to my LS yet, maybe next week if I need to get anything else.

Of to get packed for the weekend in Tahoe...if I have time I will start getting set up to start cutting!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Scranton / Wilkes Barre is so close to me!!! Sorry to jump in your discussion...that's actually where my son is going to have his tonsil and adnoid surgery...at Mercy hospital!! Small world!

[PrincessNancy96]

Ok, found my paper for out of this world... (thanks for the place AWM, J's actually had it!)
Now to figure out Y.... had an idea...but it went to heck in a handbasket with no paper at all 3 stores in the area.. good thing this aren't due next week!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Ann - are we having check in dates for this? I like to keep them on my calendar so I am (somewhat) organized and noticed there are none listed...unless I missed them which is a great possibility!!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

They are in the second posting with the players and their groups. They aren't colored yet, so that may be why you haven't noticed them.

[mommy2mrb]

Was able to get my R's, J's and elements cut for R's before I picked up Megan....

I do have a question, do the actual letters need to be embleshed also?

Thanks!

[hffmnheidi]

It is make 14 of each of our letters right? Sorry, but it's Friday and my brain is officially shot. It was the longest short work week ever.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Yes. In some way. But it can be simple. Like embossed, or inked, or special paper. Or you can go more elaborate with an icon or Prima and jewel or a Jolee type sticker. It does need two layers - top and shadow.

Because we also making elements with the letters, these don't have to be as standout as the swaps where it is the only element.

If it is obvious what the letter stands for in conjunction with elements, and they all flow together, I think we are good.

Feel free to ask specific questions as you go.

[AlexWyattMommy]

It is make 14 of each of our letters right? Sorry, but it's Friday and my brain is officially shot. It was the longest short work week ever.

Yes, 14 for Group A, the other two groups it is just 13 sets for each letter.

Thanks mommy2mrb. :flower3:

thanks, I have pattern paper for most of the letters, the rest I will figure out when I get to them.

my cricut is getting quiet the work out :banana:

[Disney_rider]

If anyone needs or I looking for just about any paper I have stacks that I've unpacked it's random stuff and some Disney paper. We really need a paper swap...I'll just be putting in paper I don't need any more right now.

[AlexWyattMommy]

;) Feel free to slip me a few sheets. I'll give them a good home. :teeth:

I have sent everyone my contact info except Rhondagreene. You don't have enough posts yet to get PMs. :sad1: We need to make you talk more to us. :thumbsup2

[123SA]

WOW!! This filled fast. THanks again Ann for taking this over. Please put me down as an angel. I just know I am going to be so sorry when I see all of your work.

[Princess Jayne]

my groups are good - and i know i'm a bit late but 14 sets is totally fine by me too! will send my info after i've been to the supermarket!

[Mickeyteacher]

My groups look fine. I'm fine with making 14 for the first group.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Hey All,

I want to be sure that everyone is okay with the requirements for this swap. We have new swappers who may not have read through the stickies that discuss how to make the elements and I can always use a refresher myself.

The photo mats must have at least two layers. A minimum of 6-1/4 x 4-1/4 and a shadow of 6-1/2 x 4-1/2. You can add larger layers underneath if you are adding a border or embellishments that hang over. You embellishments must not interfere with the placement of a 6x4 photo. This means you can pop-dot to lift up the embellishment or adhere your ribbon/fiber to the back of the mat. Please test fit your mats to make sure they work okay. This does mean that rub-ons generally don't work well on mats. You may include those to be added on after the photo is down if you wish. I don't have frames as an element because most dies make them so small that you have to cut your photo. I don't want to make some one have to cut a photo to use an element.

The journal boxes will have a minimum of THREE layers. The layer you write on must be at least 3x3. You can start with a larger writing surface if you wish. It can be a solid or lined layer. It works best if this layer is not textured. Then you will have TWO more layers under that. Be sure your layers work with your embellishments. You don't want to cover too much of the writing surface. If your embellishment might do so, start with a larger writing surface.

If you pick the tag element - it must be no smaller than 2x3. I like mine larger, but that is because I love to use up paper. :teeth: I never reuse the scraps I keep. :rotfl2: This should have two layers, an eyelet or brad or fiber/ribbon in the hole. You can also do the stapled on ribbon/fiber over where the hole would be. It also needs to be embellished in addition to the mentioned fiber/ribbon. A pretty brad in the hole doesn't count even if it is nice. :sad1:

The letter should be cut on the Cricut at 4". Or you can use a punch if it is at least 4" and comes with a shadow. When cutting on the Cricut, it may not come out exactly 4". :confused3 I have no idea why this is so with some fonts. Even with the shadow it may a bit smaller and that is okay. Your letter should have two layers - top and shadow. If your font doesn't come with a shadow than please use a shape or something else to layer it with. But remember, that doesn't count towards the embellishment unless that shape has at least two layers. The embellishing of letter is not going to be strict nor need to be elaborate. It can be simple - like embossing the top layer, using fancy glitter/glossy/embossed paper, or distressing the layer. You can add Jolee type stickers, Primas, Brads, gemstone/bling, die cuts or icons.

So there are no hard feelings later, I want you all to know that part of my job as hostess is to make sure the basics are met. I don't judge style or techniques. I tend to like those I can't do. :) I just make sure the basics are met. If they are not, I will be sure to let you know and you can either remake them and send them to me if there is time or on to the swappers in group. It is very rare that such needs to happen. I think so far I have had one person not make enough and they just made the extra elements and I popped them in the baggies and one person did use embellishments that I could not lift up to slide photos under.

If you have questions, you can PM or email or post photos here. Everyone is generous with their praise and they give good advice.

Happy swap making!! :cloud9:

[hiclarke]

My groups look good. I'll PM you my contact info. Now off to do some shopping.....

Hannelore

[wdwmickey]

I never use my scraps either ;) I should try making some tags this time to use some of those up :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I put the clarifications in the second post so they are easier to find later on when we are all working. :)

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Ha!!! I see the check-ins now!! I got it all down! Thanks...ummmm dumb moment I guess!!! LOL

[Ohana 4]

Okay, a dumb question here. In group A, it is supposed to be colored in red, black, white, etc. and Disney-ish paper. So my question is this...

For M, can it be the Mickey/Minnie colors and include embellishments/paper that are actually Mickey/Minnie, or would they need to be generalized so that each swapper can use it on any kind of page?

Oh, one more question.

For T, do I still need to use red/black/white/etc. or can it be Toy Story themed colors, or Tigger colors or something like that?

That's all for now. I just don't want to do this wrong. It's been almost a year since my last swap. (Why does that sound like an AA meeting?:scared1:)

[AlexWyattMommy]

If you can make the black. red, yellow or white work for your solid colors with the Tigger or toy story paper, then yes. Go for it. I would however refrain from using embellishments that will limit your use of photos. Like I personally only have one photo of Tigger taken about 4 years ago. But there was a day where most of us had on orange so I could use those photos with the Tigger colors as long Tigger wasn't the only embellishment. Like if you used fabric ribbon or thin pieces of the paper as ribbon or primas or brads etc, as the embellishments then we aren't limited to just using Tigger photos. If go with Toy Story and use more than just one character as the embellishment that would work too. Because then it could be used for character or ride photos.

I guess the main idea is for each letter to be able to as versatile as possible.

Fab 5 seem to be easier to work with because so many of the photos will have something with them in it or in the background.

The idea is that the main colors be uniform enough to use together with variety of different photos.

Does that help or make it more confusing?

[Ohana 4]

Sounds good. I guess I just didn't know if the letters themselves needed to have a "theme." But I think now I get it. It should be main Disney colors, but not necessarily with a theme, correct? So I could just do my T in "mickey-type" colors if I wanted to, right?

[AlexWyattMommy]

::yes::

[MusicalDisneyDreams]

So, today we wnet shopping for swap stuff. I got my Zurg set done. :goodvibes

http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac141/wdwmickey/100_2893.jpg

The green strip of paper on the photo mat is only adhered on the back; you can slide a picture under it with not trouble.

The smaller star on the embelished shape is silver-- it just sparkles so it turned out gold in the picture.

What do you guys think?

[AlexWyattMommy]

I :love: them!!

The blingy paper counts as embellished on way so the silver stars are definitely enough embellishing.

Some swaps ask for two way, but I don't like to limit you. You can go simple or all out as your creativity and elements lead you.

I think you did a great job. The colors are awesome together.

[PrincessNancy96]

I still can't decide on Y...but I have some other ideas..just need to search for paper to make it work.. I know what I want...just need to find that paper!

[wdwmickey]

Here is my prototype set for the general O:

http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac141/wdwmickey/100_2894.jpg

The photomats are 3 layers each, one layer is chalked/inked, and the ribbons are only attatched on the back. Any thoughts on if you would like them embellished one more time?

I think this is what we are looking for in the general group :) Let me know

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Cheryl and Rachel - I LOOOOOOVE both sets!!! Great job! You guys are quick!

[AlexWyattMommy]

YES!!

That is exactly what I had in mind when Susan first suggested the group with similar colors.

I like it the way it is. The only thing I can see doing is taking one brad off the journal box and putting a Mickey hat at an angle in the corner to tie it with O.

Your O is so cute.

[wdwmickey]

YES!!

It's funny you say that, I was considering putting a tiny Mickey in one corner of the journal box. I'll fix that now and get started cutting 13 more sets :)

[wdwmickey]

Cheryl and Rachel - I LOOOOOOVE both sets!!! Great job! You guys are quick!

We went supply shopping yesterday and wanted to get started right away;) Glad you like them!

[AlexWyattMommy]

No worries. I love your work. And you always come up with the neatest ideas.

The two shooting stars are different. One is "sugar-coated" white paper, and the other is shiny silver paper, but it looks gold because of the flash. :confused3

Cheryl and Rachel - I LOOOOOOVE both sets!!! Great job! You guys are quick!

Thanks! We went to many, many places yesterday to get exactly what we wanted because the scrapping section of our JoAnn's got flooded by a sprinkler malfunction. Needless to say, we couldn't get anything from there. :sad1:

[wdwmickey]

Here they are with the new journal box embellishment and 4x6 photos layed on the mats so you can get an idea of size :)

http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac141/wdwmickey/100_2895.jpg

[AlexWyattMommy]

Those look great!

[wdwmickey]

Thanks :flower3: MusicalDisneyDreams is in the teal shirt (she's short like me) ;)

[Disney_rider]

On my way to Mikes before the 49er game starts 50% coupon and paper 5 for a $1 I just need card stock for this swap so I can keep this stash separate from my other projects.:thumbsup2 starting my cutting today :cool1:

[catinthehat35]

Went out looking for paper for this swap today and got rather discouraged. I might be over thinking this a bit. Does the red,black,yellow and white for group A have to specifically be Disney paper or can it be any paper within that color scheme. Like, can it just be red and white polka dots matted in white for the letter? Does that make sense? I'm sure the instructions are clear as day but I'm having a tough time getting my thoughts together.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Well, red and white polka dots screams Minnie to me and she is certainly Disney.

You don't have to use all the solid colors. :) You can pick and choose.

The pattern paper, if you want to use it [because you can just solid or textured cardstock if you want] does not have to say Disney on it. I've seen lots of Creative Imagination stuff that isn't sanctioned by Disney. And yes, you can use polka dot or striped or checkered paper if it is the right colors. :)

Does that help?

Oh, and if you are using "Disneyfied" paper, it itself can be different colors if you use the specified colors as well with it.

ie- the blue, green, orange white paper that looks like it would be great with a character meal from Creative Imagination. Using black and white card stock would keep that paper in the same family even though it isn't the "right" colors.

AWM--I hate to be the voice of dissent, but, I signed up for the general swap because I am making an ABC book using ONLY red, yellow, black & white. I would rather we stay with those colors. If you want me to I'll drop out today and someone else can have my spot, that's fine. I just would be very unhappy if there were lots of colors in my book. I'm even printing my pictures in black & white.

Let me know what you want me to do.

Thanks, Cheryl :goodvibes


On a related note for those of you having trouble finding red, yellow, black & white patterned paper I have been able to find it at Archiver's, JoAnn's, and online at scrapyourtripdotcom.

[MusicalDisneyDreams]

Here's my prototype for my One Man's Dream set:

http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac141/wdwmickey/100_2896.jpg

The O has a ring of embossed pixie dust, which is inked/chalked. The photo mat has a white rhinestone Mickey head where the two sections of ribbon cross (and, yes, you can get a pic under and on to the mat). Mickey's hat is inked/chalked so it's darker than his face.

I went with blue, black, and white for my color scheme for a few reasons. The floor of OMD looks like the shiny blue paper and my ribbon, and the walls are blue. Mickey's supposed to be Steamboat Willie.

What do you think? Is this okay?

Rachel :upsidedow

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will let majority rule on this.

I will send PMs in the morning to the swappers and see if using only those colors will affect others plans.

[wdwmickey]

I really don't mind dropping out of the general colors. It's not that big of a deal--I can use all of the mats I made and I only made 1 "O" so far. I don't want to cause drama. I'd be more than happy to let someone else have my spot ;)

I love these! And you did a great job with the embossed pixie dust -- I bought it at Big Lots and was trying to figure out a good way to use it.

[wdwmickey]

Ann--after thinking on this and praying about it. I would like to drop out of the general colors swap. I don't want you to have to send 13 PMs and I don't want 13 people to have to change their plans based on what I thought I read in the directions. I don't want anyone on this board to think I am "high maintenance" or a "drama queen" (I'm really not either, I promise :flower3:)

So if it's okay with you please take my name off group A, but, keep me on groups B & C.

Thanks, Cheryl :goodvibes

PS--sorry for any trouble I may have caused

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have taken you out of Group A.

I really do think that using the selected colors only for the solid layers will make it uniform enough that a few letters that may have a different color in a pattern paper won't be glaringly odd. It would all still flow nicely once letters and journaling are added.

Since I had already given the go ahead to use a different color pattern paper with the selected color solid paper, I don't know that I can say don't use it anymore.

Thank you for understanding. And I do understand why you are dropping this group. There are no hard feelings.

[PrincessNancy96]

Ann ~ the open spots in group A.. save for SIOH right now... I know she was interested in it...and things happened at work and she wasn't able to get on here.... let me text her this morning... if not, put me in there! :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I did send a PM to icesk8abc, as she expressed disappointment also at missing the sign ups.

I will let her have first refusal. If she doesn't want it, the spots are SIOH. :thumbsup2

Thanks for looking out for SIOH. :love:

[PrincessNancy96]

OK, I will wait to say anything to SIOH as I don't want to upset her... thanks anyway...

[wdwmickey]

Thanks Ann :) Also, if anyone could please look at MusicalDisneyDreams "O" elements, post 217 and give her some feedback that would be awesome. She would like to work on it after school if the prototype is okay ;)

Sorry, my response didn't get saved.:flower3:

I love the Steamboat Willie. I already have a photo that work so well this grouping.

It all looks great!!

[Ohana 4]

Me too. Love Steamboat Willie. I say "Go forth and scrap." :lovestruc

[wdwmickey]

[tyniknate]

Man, I feel like a slacker. My groups look good and I'm PMing my info now, but the groups already posted look awesome. Guess I better get to work.

[mommy2mrb]

I love what you ladies have made so far!!!

got my Group A J's, R's done, everything else is cut out , some is matted and embleshed, need to get some more glue dots and I should finish up thoes groups today.

I will try to post pic when I'm done with them.

think I've got the rest of my groups figured out, but will see after I get things cut.

[Ohana 4]

Man, I feel like a slacker. My groups look good and I'm PMing my info now, but the groups already posted look awesome. Guess I better get to work.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I feel like a slacker too! I just went to Michaels to get some supplies for this swap. $50 later, I am digging into my creative soul to come up with something worthy of what I have seen from you ladies so far! I'm determined to meet this challenge in the next three days I have off.

[wdwmickey]

Don't feel like slackers!!:flower3: We went shopping on Saturday and Rachel was so excited to get started that she went to work as soon as we put our supplies away :) We usually work on swap stuff together so I can assist if she gets stuck. So she's working diligently on this swap, but, she has yet to start the dining swap :rotfl2:

[Ohana 4]

Ok, I've cut my T and the shadow, but I don't know what to add to it for embellishment. It's red and black, so none of the inks I have would show up well. I thought about hanging something off the top cross of the T, but all I can think of is a Mickey-yellow star or maybe a Mickey head? I'd love to do a paper piecing of Mickey leaning against the T, but there's no way I can make it that small with all the little pieces. Unless I just do a silhouette of him?:upsidedow

Any ideas?

[AlexWyattMommy]

I would do the silhouette myself. Or a red prima with the black Mickey head gemstone in the middle.

[mommy2mrb]

I am so computer challenged....
been trying to post pics of my swap stuff and can't figure it out...
my laptop has a spot for my SD card and I can bring them up but then what do I do?
help me please......

[AlexWyattMommy]

you then need to upload them to a host site, like photobucket or shutterfly

then that site will give you an address to post here that will link back to the photo

[PrincessNancy96]

utilize photobucket.. it is very easy to upload your photos from your computer and than onto here...

you will see an IMG link under your photo on photobucket.. you highlight and copy that and then paste it into your posting here on the boards....

[mommy2mrb]

I will give it a try.....be back in a bit....

[mommy2mrb]

okay, does this work??????

yes it does, sorry if they are big..

so for my R's used minnie pokadots with black and yellow. photo mat, ribbon not attached on front, the circle is the journal box, chalked the white circle, made 3 yellow flowers w/red sparkle in the middle.

for my J's used a black/white stripe w/red ribbon accents, journal box has red eyelets in each corner and made mickey tag w/ribbon and star accents, photo mat has same ribbon and stars.

do these look okay, do they need anything else?
TIA for your input

[AlexWyattMommy]

::yes::

And the look pretty darn good! I love the paper choices and your embellishing is really cute.

[mommy2mrb]

Thanks Ann!!

I have all my R stuff completed, just need to finish up my J stuff!

this is really good therapy for me, thanks for welcoming me back to the swaps!!

[PrincessNancy96]

Looks great!!!

You can go into Edit in photobucket and make them smaller.... and than just use the img link again... Great work!!!!

[mommy2mrb]

okay, I'm second guessing my photo mat for the "J", is it okay having the stars on the left side of the ribbon? the ribbon is not attached on the front, will the stars get in the way of your photos?
need your input TIA!!

[Ohana 4]

It won't get in the way of my pictures. Most of the time, there is some amount of room on a picture to cut off to make it fit on the mat.
Most people probably don't have a photo that is crucial to see from edge to edge... ;)
Just sayin.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Go ahead and put a photo on it and lets see what it look like.

[wdwmickey]

Lisa--those are really nice :)

[mommy2mrb]

Lisa--those are really nice :)

thanks!!

I put the stars onto the red ribbon instead, looks better too!

[AlexWyattMommy]

icesk8abc has accepted the spots in Group A. :)
