Color Swap- Active- Heading towards their homes!

[Mickeyteacher]

PN and I have been taking about this years color swap- here is the ideas that I have for this swap- please let me know what you think and if we need to add or change something. I'm happy to except suggestions! I used the group from last years swap.
S :)

The Color Swap will have sign-ups open on August 2, at 9 am. They will stay open for a week, until August 7.

Check-ins:
Confirm your groups and send me your contact info by – August 13.
Check in #1 by – September 10- LAST CALL FOR ANGELS
Mail by – September 23
Due by – October 1
The due date is firm. Please be on time.

After sign-ups, please pm me your name, DIS name, mailing address, email address and phone number when you sign up (I will only use these in an emergency).

I will pm you with a reminder if you forget to check in. After 48 hours with no response I will request angels for your spots. If you are going on vacation or will be out of town, please check in early. Please do not sign up for more than you can handle. If you need an angel, please ask for one as soon as possible.

If you finish early, feel free to mail to me as soon as you are done. I have room to store the boxes.

Packaging Instructions:
Place each set of items in a Ziploc bag that is able to close. Label the bag with your DISname, name and group info:

Place the 4 individual bags inside a gallon size or larger bag. NO SMALLER. Although your items may fit in a quart size bag, the pieces you get back may not fit in a small bag. Label the outer bag also. The little paper slips that go in the bags are also fine.

Mailing Instructions:
You may send to me by any method you choose unless you are mailing after Sept. 15. Then, you must mail Priority with Delivery Confirmation. I will send back to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping.

1 photomat for a 4x6 photo, at least 2 layers, smallest layer 4.25x6.25, embellished 2 ways

I am sure there are other ways of embellishing. If you have an idea, I’d love to hear it. If anything is not clear, please let me know so I can clear it up. The only thing specifically excluded is handwriting.

Scrap Paper Group
One-of-a-kind element sets using bits of leftover paper, embellishments, ribbon, etc. Maximum of five sets per swapper, so we can more easily/randomly exchange among participants and not get any of our own sets back. Patterned and/or colored paper of any color are ok. The point of this group is to use up our scraps in fun and creative ways, so if you have enough to make 2+ groups with the same materials, that’s fine, but if you don’t, that’s fine too.

Hold another one

[Mickeyteacher]

Just one more...

[MazdaUK]

Me! Me! Me!:banana::woohoo::yay: This is one of my favourite swaps!

The only thing I'd suggest is perhaps pushing it back a little as its overlapping Rebecca's planner swap.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I have a question...because it confused me last year...for the Bright group...is that brights colors combos or one individual bright color?

[PrincessNancy96]

I'll be an angel if the need arises.. I'm still got my set from last round.. I forget about them.. I pulled them out today in hopes of using them!

[Mickeyteacher]

While, I understand that this does over lap with the planner swap, I need to have sign-ups complete before the 1st week of school. So, I can lengthen it on the end, but I need to do sign-ups on August 2.
S :)

[Arizona Rita]

Im so in!!:cool1:
DCL, Color and now I just need the Disneyland swap to hold when DR tries again in Oct?
"Honey, I have to stop working again, its time to SWAP!!!":rotfl2:

[Mickeyteacher]

I have a question...because it confused me last year...for the Bright group...is that brights colors combos or one individual bright color?

I think it could be both- as long as "bright colors" are in your pieces.
S :)

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I think it could be both- as long as "bright colors" are in your pieces.
S :)

Ahhh....great!! Thanks!

[MazdaUK]

slightly later finish would be good - we've not had our vacation yet and kids don't go back til 6 September or something daft:rolleyes1 I can live with the sign-up date:thumbsup2

[mommy2mrb]

Shawna, I might be in for this too!
will see what I get finished up between now and sign-ups!

[Mickeyteacher]

BTT...
Sign ups are next week~
S :)

[mommy2mrb]

I'll be there! Got my groups all picked out!

hope you summer is going good! when does school start back?? need to catch up on the phone soon!

[JJ&JHsmom]

Hmmm, maybe if I finish up a couple of swaps I could squeeze this one in too.

Cassey

[ckmom97]

I'm planning on playing, too, providing I can complete a couple more groups for the AK swap. I have a couple of questions before I decide on my groups. For the Disney group, do we use the traditional red, yellow, black and white? For the groups other than girls, boys, and Disney, do we keep the embellishments/theme generic? Thanks.

[Arizona Rita]

I have to work all next week, so do you think I will need a sign up buddy if I know that I would like to have or do you think that I should still be able to get what I would like when I get home that night? I wont be home and no computer access when sign ups open. I think I will end up with 10 groups if anything like the past.

Rita I can be your sign up buddy if you want! PM me your picks!

[PrincessNancy96]

Just a heads up... your questions will be answered later this weekend.. unless MT gets online sometime today.. they are out of town at a family event.....

[Arizona Rita]

Morning All!

Could someone please tell me what the group size will be? I love this swap and I think I have 20 groups:scared1:

Lisa, if reading this, thank you for thte offer and after I figure out what I am doing I will take you up on your offer. Mornings are so rushed for me even if I get up 2 hours before I have to leave for work. Good side, only one more week of 5 days! And Im just supposed to be the substitute!:rotfl:

I'm not sure what the size's will be...Shawna is out of town this weekend, she'll probably check in tonight or tomorrow......the last color swap I did 3 years ago I think was 5 or 6 people so it wasn't too big....I have 9 groups so far, but could add a couple more!

Not a problem I'm up early anyways, PM me your list today or tomorrow and I will get you signed up!
Guess that's a bonus $$ wise to be working so many hours, just cuts into your scrapping time :eek:

[PrincessNancy96]

As Lisa mentioned Shawna is out of town.. I expect she'll probably check in when they head home tonight...but I can't promise that.. They are having a fabulous time.

[Arizona Rita]

Happy to hear she's having a great time!
Ive done this swap in 4 and 6 set groups so just curious. May start this one today.
It is a bonus for the paycheck especially having just come home from Hawa'ii!
But 12 18months olds can really get to ya!
I havnt done a single page this month!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yeah...last year it was groups of 4...seemed to work out really well. So, we will see I guess!!

[Mickeyteacher]

Yes- you keep the emmbellishments generic . More color specific, inking and such.

I think Lisa has this covered...

Rita I can be your sign up buddy if you want! PM me your picks!
Thanks, Lisa!

Just a heads up... your questions will be answered later this weekend.. unless MT gets online sometime today.. they are out of town at a family event.....
Thanks, Nan... We are having a great time and will be driving home tomorrow!

I will cap the groups at 4 each- if we have more then 4 I will open up another groups.

I'm capping it at 4 in each group to make it managable.


As Lisa mentioned Shawna is out of town.. I expect she'll probably check in when they head home tonight...but I can't promise that.. They are having a fabulous time.
I'm checking in from the hotel tonight as we will be driving alllllllll day tomorrow! 12 hours but I do have the wireless card, so I hope to check in tomorrow from the car- if there is a burning question, text it to me and I will answer it from the car!

Wow that's a long drive....stay safe and sane with the kids!!

Wow that's a long drive....stay safe and sane with the kids!!

I have DH to drive and lots of school work to keep me busy.
The kids have tons of video games, movies and snacks- they are awesome travelers.
My only worry is how much my foot will hurt after sitting with it hanging down all day.

S :)

what did you do to your foot??

[Mickeyteacher]

I have a stress fracture in the top of my foot- funny thing is the only time I remember hurting it and the first time I remember pain in this spot of my foot is when I hit it at Epcot on my birthday!
Oh well, it is in a boot for 1 more week and then we shall see!

Oh, I remember that...sorry its still giving you problems, can you elevate it at all in the car? I usually put my feet up on the dash board when I need to give my back a rest.
call me tomorrow if you need a break from school work!

[ckmom97]

One more question -- are sign ups at 9:00 eastern time? Thanks.

I will try the dash board, but I have short legs, so that is not alway comfortable.
I will see what the cell service is like in West Virgina and North Carolina...


One more question -- are sign ups at 9:00 eastern time? Thanks.

Yes- 9 am est.

[mommy2mrb]

hope your foot feels better! Megan's calling me we're having movie night
hope to talk to you tomorrow!

[Mickeyteacher]

Have Fun!

[ckmom97]

Ok, thanks. I'll finalize my list tomorrow and set my alarm for Tuesday morning. That's 8:00 here, and although I'm usually up before then, I don't want to chance being late. Have a safe trip home!

[Arizona Rita]

I feel your pain! The last night of the cruise I fell (no, I really wasnt drinking, had to get up too early the next daty to go to the Arizona!:goodvibes)
and ended up getting it xrayed when we got home after being in pain for several days.
I hope your ride home doesnt give you too much grief and you are ready for these color fans when you get home!
Safe journey!:hippie:

[Mickeyteacher]

We are home! The foot is ok and I'm putting it up. I will open up sign-ups in the morning!

Group Q is a blind swap. How ever many you send in you will get back that same number- it helps use up the extras.

[Mickeyteacher]

I have been watching this thread and reading pms but today was the first day of school and we have had pre-planning earlier in the week, so I'm beat. I will reply this weekend when I can think about something other than 3rd grade and getting kids on the right bus.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I think I'm the other and I'm also fine with that. Didn't check the groups, so if it's bot me, disregard!! LOL I have enough of all the supplies though!

[Arizona Rita]

Here are my first 2 sets, orange and yellow. I would really like opinions please before I continue, thank you.

The yellow has skittles. The orange has embroidery floss and cute orange glitter buttons in different sizes. There will be two tags and Im adding more buttons.

[mommy2mrb]

they look great Rita!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Love both of them but am super happy that I am in the orange group!

[MazdaUK]

Great pieces Rita!

I've pulled my papers so can confirm my colours as follows:

Once I've finished the planner swap this is next on th list:thumbsup2

[wdwmickey]

[Arizona Rita]

Thank you for the feeback everyone! Im glad you all like them.

MT~ I am taking that 3rd spot in L2. Got the ok from the ladies so when you have time you might want to put me in there. Thank you!
This really is my favorite swap! Its just fun working with color!
Must be the preschool teacher in me:goodvibes

[Arizona Rita]

Here is the pink. Opinions please.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6198/6091700218_be63df3370_z_d.jpg

Colors are actually brighter. 3 different shades of pink. Different brads in flower corners. Butterflies can be removed
Also, different flowers on everything but everything matches.

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

I really like the pink set -- and I love what you did with your journal box, it really shows off a lot of the paper without making the piece huge! Very clever.

[mommy2mrb]

love the pink Rita!

[Arizona Rita]

Question~ Can I do 2 mats and 2 boxes as a set? Im looking for different combos and trying to stay away from my VERY frustrating cricut!

[MazdaUK]

Would work for me;) if everyone is happy:thumbsup2

[mommy2mrb]

I'd be good with that Rita, sorry you're having issues with your bug...do you need a new blade or is it just being difficult?

[Arizona Rita]

I think I just need a new machine!:scared1:
And Im really daubting the quality of my work so I really appreciate the feedback everyone is giving me.:love:

[Mickeyteacher]

That sounds great to me.
I have a question... Can I add 2 hat pins as an element? I'm having fun making them and they would be great with the color swap.
S :)

[mommy2mrb]

sure, you're the hostess! I have a feeling they are going to get added to a lot of the swap!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

sure, you're the hostess! I have a feeling they are going to get added to a lot of the swap!

I have to laugh at myself because I didn't really look at who posted the pin question but I thought "Oh, I hope the hostess approves this one!" and was waiting to hear what she had to say!

So I agree love the idea!

[ckmom97]

Rita, love the pink group. I also like the idea of using the hat pins as the other element. I can't wait to see all the different pins, and how everyone uses them on their los.

[Arizona Rita]

All for the pins, especially since Im nervous to try to make them myself!

[Mickeyteacher]

I have to laugh at myself because I didn't really look at who posted the pin question but I thought "Oh, I hope the hostess approves this one!" and was waiting to hear what she had to say!

So I agree love the idea!

I guess I can change my own rules.... but I did want to ask because I'm changing them after we started.... SO in with the pins!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

I guess I can change my own rules.... but I did want to ask because I'm changing them after we started.... SO in with the pins!

yea!

Planning on working on my groups today as we still do not have TV or internet at home and I have read all the books I had gotten to keep me from going insane. We have power so I can see what I am doing now.

bummer about the tv and internet....:woohoo: on the power being back though! would be tough to scrap in the dark :scared1:

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Working on my groups, here are some pictures:

Group C. Green: The picture shows it darker than it is. The back mat is a dark forest green and the patterned paper is vellum.

http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy40/Mom-to-2-Princesses/2011%20Color%20Swap/IMG_0319.jpg


Group F. Pink: The white paper is a shimmer paper and the tag has some sparkly gemstones. I also added some stickles to the flowers.

http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy40/Mom-to-2-Princesses/2011%20Color%20Swap/IMG_0321.jpg


Group I2 Color Combo Black and Grey: The paper is really fun with glitter within the design.
http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy40/Mom-to-2-Princesses/2011%20Color%20Swap/IMG_0322.jpg


Group Q - Patterned Paper: The flowers on these are felt and the other accent is the red rafia..

Now you are set for next year's swap!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

I'm done! Most are bagged but I need to get more bags to finish the job. Here are my final groups:

A. Red. The items are accented with dark ruby red bling, hard to see in the picture but cool in person.

http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy40/Mom-to-2-Princesses/2011%20Color%20Swap/IMG_0324.jpg

B2. Blue - Started having fun with my Cuttlebug and embossed all accents.

http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy40/Mom-to-2-Princesses/2011%20Color%20Swap/IMG_0335.jpg

D. Brown. I did my first pins - they are hard to photograph but I think they were a great addition to the color swap.

[Arizona Rita]

:cool1:I think I'm in all of those groups~and I love them! So Pretty!:cool1:


I started, all but finished my red group. I thought it looked Victorian. I decided to play with patterned paper. Now when I look at it I see Christmas!
I plan on posting photos later but do you think it will be ok? Would you mind getting something that looks like Christmas? Also on the squares, I dont know how to finish them off. I have cute snow flake brads but.....
How to know when to retire from swapping~ when nothing is coming together!:scared1:

[Arizona Rita]

I sure wish I wasnt afraid to try those pins, those look really neat!
Is that a boarder on the brown? Did you hand make that? I love brown, I think that one is so pretty!

[mommy2mrb]

Lee Ann love your sets and I get your red and brown :thumbsup2 and love the pins too!

Rita, I'd be okay with a Christmasy theme for your red!

[JJ&JHsmom]

Love the new groups, sadly I don't get any.

But on a positive note, I was going through DS's college stuff and I found my paper! Not sure how it ended up there but I have finished one group and will work on the others tonight.

Cassey

[mommy2mrb]

yay on finding you stuff Cassey!

[JJ&JHsmom]

yay on finding you stuff Cassey!

I searched for hours yesterday, Julia thought I was nuts looking for paper! She said to use some of the other thousands that is there.:rotfl:

Hey - Don't get down on yourself! I thought red was the hardest to do. It was the last group I worked on and I changed papers several times before I found what I used. All I could think of was hearts and valentines originally.

Please don't retire from swapping - I love your stuff!

[mommy2mrb]

Shawna, I plan on mailing my box on Tuesday!
hope you are having a great weekend!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

I sure wish I wasnt afraid to try those pins, those look really neat!
Is that a boarder on the brown? Did you hand make that? I love brown, I think that one is so pretty!

Thanks! Yes there is an embossed border on it. My DH got me some of the cuttlebug embossed border folders for Christmas and I knew it would be perfect for this swap!

[MazdaUK]

Hey Rita, I always love your stuff :goodvibes I'm fine with a Christmassy look :thumbsup2

B~Blue group~ I also did circles.There are extra circles due to the fact that I changed my mind mid way through for the embellies. The red brads match the red polka dots in the paper. JB is also inked on the edges. This kind of reminds me of the circus.

R~Disney~ Cinderella themed. Glitter paper used on everything. I am aware that there are only 2 layers on the jb but 3 just wouldnt work with the shape so I hope thats ok. The pumpkins were cut using a school Ellison Press.

A~Red~ I used fibers and beading materials and ribbon. I hope it doesnt look too Christmasy. I have included a circle thingie but did not glue it on the ribbon on the mat so that you can place it where you like.

D~Brown~ I loved the paper. I used ribbon and brads. There is a fine reddish brown line in the paper and the one ribbon picks up on that color while the brown on the mat picks up the brown.

OK, at this point I am officially half done. I will most likely be working right up to the due date but they will be there on time.

I appreciate any and all feedback.
Thanks!

[wdwmickey]

I love them and I don't think the red looks too Christmasy ;) In fact I wouldn't have thought Christmas at all if you hadn't mentioned it.

[mommy2mrb]

they look great Rita....esp love the brown set

[JJ&JHsmom]

Rita, love your sets.

Cassey

[Arizona Rita]

Thank you Ladies. I appreciate the feedback and glad you like them.

[MazdaUK]

WOW! This one has crept up on my (mind you, I'm sure this year is going faster than normal:rolleyes1). I'm all cut out on my main groups and assembling this monring (currently 8am here) then I will do my random groups so I should be postal on Friday. Sorry I'm later than usual - my baby starting "big" school has sort of taken me over:guilty:

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Checking in...I have all but 3 groups cut, will assemble starting next weekend. Should mail by the 23rdish.

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

All done -- just need to finish packing them up.

Blue sea, African and Music sets are all scrap paper sets.
I am in both green groups. Both are basically the same except one has larger flowers. They are big flowers but they were so pretty and I think would look good for Tinkerbell or girl scouts. They set will will fill a page! I hope they are not too large for anyone else.

The other set is Rustic. I am in both groups here also. One group will get the corners and the other group will get another mat/box set. These colors are Arizona fall colors. We dont get alot of pretty colors like the rest of you do. They are also the colors of alot of are campground signs , etc. I hope the corners dont look too Boy scoutish and if they do I hope you are still able to use them.

At this point I need to finish Black and white and 2 single sets and I will be done. I should be able to mail by Saturday.
And then I am retiring from scrapping and will happily be scraplifting from all of you!

[MazdaUK]

They all look fantastic to me!!:goodvibes

I'm done on my colour groups except the bagging, just need to do my scrap paper after work over the next few days and I'm ready to mail at the weekend:thumbsup2

[ckmom97]

I've completed about half of my groups. I hope to have these finished up this week and to be postal over the weekend or early next week.

[Princess Jayne]

For those in group L - Rustic, is this ok? I know I said brown initially but i really couldnt find any nice brown stuff and its almost brown!

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y141/Me005/P1170224.jpg

[Arizona Rita]

Very pretty Jayne! It will look great in several of my books, now to decide which one!

[MazdaUK]

I'm all done - just need to get some $$ from the PO on Friday then pack it and walk back to mail:)

I'll try to get pics up tonight - Dh has been hogging the PC for his university project:headache:

Jayne those pieces are lovely :goodvibes:

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Jayne - Love it! :lovestruc Pretty paper!

[mommy2mrb]

Jayne love your rustic set too!

[Princess Jayne]

Red group:

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Sheila - love them all! But were you ready to take the stickles bottle and throw it out the window after the purple group? I never would have had the patience to stickle both the photo mat and journal box! Nice work!

[Arizona Rita]

Sheila, all so pretty! Really like the yellow and Im wishing I had done purple done. Your hand must be very steady for all of those stickles!

[mommy2mrb]

love all your sets Shelia...think I'm in the red and purple groups :cool1:

[MazdaUK]

I wish I was in purple now....

Here's my groups:

Blue (B2)

[mommy2mrb]

all your sets look great too Mazda!!!

[JJ&JHsmom]

Sheila and Mazda love your sets!!!

Cassey

[ckmom97]

Luv those sets, Mazda!! The rustic group is my favorite. I don't get it, but I do get the boys and girls sets. I really like the paper on the girls group.

The stickles on the purple set wasn't too hard, but I'll admit to being happy when the scallops on the squares were too small to stickle. ;)

[Arizona Rita]

Mazda~ Love them! I think/hope Im in some of your groups! I think I get rustic since I was in both groups. I would love to have any /all of them!

I am labeling bags and hoping to mail by Friday. My swap for the year is over.
I have got to get Baltics cruise done and these swap helps so much with this!
So excited to get everything back!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Mazda and Sheila - love everything!!

Luv those, Cheryl. I think I get most of them. :banana:

I've finished all my groups. We are moving the rest of our stuff to the new house this weekend, so it maybe Monday before I get my box in the mail. I'll post the rest of my pics on Tuesday after our internet is set up. Can't wait to get all these back. It's been a fun swap!

[wdwmickey]

Thanks ladies :) Glad you like them, I had a hard time trying to come up with different ways to make them so they weren't all the same.

[MazdaUK]

I love those - especially the blue and girls group (which I get :goodvibes)

Just to keep everyone up to date. We have a had a wonderful, joyous event happen in our family today and I'm going to take a little trip next weekend to help everyone celebrate. So, with that being said, I will not be able to swap things out next weekend. I will get them done as soon as I can once everything arrives, but I might not be able to get them all swapped and mailed out until the 14th.

That is wonderful news! I love to hear about kids getting the chance they deserve - and about would-be parents having their dreams come true! My good friends adopted a little girl from China and although its been tough going (especially the paperwork) they couldn't be happier now!

Take the time for the family fun - swaps can wait, family is more important :thumbsup2

[wdwmickey]

Congrats on the new additions :)

[Mickeyteacher]

Thanks! We are excited about the party and having fun with all the kids.

[ckmom97]

Congrats on the new additions to your family. I will post my package this afternoon. Sorry I'm late. I sprained my MCL while we were moving furniture. My mom, bless her heart, came over to help us and moved all my swap boxes. I have finally found them. Everything is bagged, tagged, and ready to go. I'll post them when I pu my kiddos this afternoon.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

LOL...yeah poor Mazda!! Only thing here is that the DC said it was delivered Monday...so that means they scanned for delivery then held onto it!! :headache:

[ckmom97]

I'm finally postal. So sorry I'm late everyone!! Between a bad knee and a house full of boxes, I just can't seem to get anything done. Hopefully everything will get back to normal soon. I hate it when life gets in the way of scrapping. Shawna, sorry for the inconvience. I'll pm you the dc#.

[Mickeyteacher]

Last box arrived today! I will work on sorting this weekend.

I will put the DC number in a pm to you. Not sure where it is because it was mailed on Monday and it shows that it was accepted.
Please let me know when it arrives.
