I will be posting the sign ups for this swap on the 6th. That is a Sunday morning. Around 9ish.
Here is the swap from last year.
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2418042
The groups will stay the same. However, the element list will change because I am also changing the way I do it this year. In the past we had everyone pick 2 elements with a topper being necessary if you chose a specific theme, ie -bugs, trucks, toys, etc.
This year it will a single element. Groups will be limited to 6 swappers. I will post the basics and leave 2 spots as wild cards. :)
You can use up your scraps on this swap. I know I have tons of paper from the previous years, but not enough to do a full page kit. All I ask is that you keep them to same quality.
Because it will be single elements, I will be asking for embellishment two way. We've not had that requirement in a long time. It simply means that you pick two ways from the list of standard embellishing. - Brads & extra layer - inking and ribbon - embossed paper and primas - die cut and fiber - those are just examples, you are free to mix it up any way you like. Paper Piecings, shapes/die cuts are excluded from this. ATC cards already require 3 way so they too are excluded.
Please feel free to ask for clarification on any of the above. What I hear in my head and what gets put to the keyboard are not always the same. :lmao:
