Resort Swap COMPLETE

[New England Eeyore]

Photo link to slideshows of all groups: Resort Swap


THIS SWAP IS OPEN TO ALL SWAPPERS. NEWCOMERS ARE WELCOME AS ALWAYS. If you are new to swapping on the DISboards, please limit yourself to 2 groups.

Due date is September 15 (that is when I need to receive your package). Please mail packages out by September 8.

Check in Dates:
July 22
August 18 (last call for angels*)
September 1

*You must check in by the August 18 date. If not, I will send a PM/Email and if you don’t respond within 2 days, your spot will be angeled.

Instructions:
Choose your resort and an element that has not been picked. When choosing elements try not to choose the same element at more than 3 resorts to give everyone a chance to choose the different elements- if they are still open on the weekend then you are welcome to add more of the same element. Please note the color scheme for the resort. The last resort swap was run this way last time and it worked out very well to have all the items coordinate with each other within a group. I have mostly kept the colors the same as last year, with a few minor tweaks. For this swap, Bazzill cardstock is NOT required, but I have included some suggested colors for those who would like to use it. You are welcome to use patterned papers that go with the color scheme also.

There will be a max of 10 swappers per group. I will open 2nd groups for the more popular resorts. If a group has at least 2 people, I will include it. Please wait for the swap to close to note how many items you will make for each group. The numbers will vary from group to group

Once sign ups close, if your name is not highlighted, please PM me with your DIS name, name, home address, email address, and phone numbers. Email and phone numbers will only be used to follow up if I have not heard from you.

PM me 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 so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help if needed.

Packaging Instructions
Place your completed elements in a Ziploc bag with your DIS name, name and group number. Place all your baggies for a group in a GALLON size bag, and label with the same. Please use a gallon bag – even if your pieces are smaller and may not require it, the pieces you will be getting back may be bigger.

Postage:
Please include cash, check or stamps (No Click-it/ship-it postage). If you are in less than 4 groups, include $4.95 for the priority envelopes. If you are in 4 or more groups, please include $10.35 for the priority box. If you would like delivery confirmation on your returned swap, also include the $0.65 and a filled out slip.


HAVE FUN AND BE CREATIVE!!


Element Selection:

For this swap, the elements must be embellished at least once.

Suggestions for embellishments include:
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 (if it would look weird trying to fit in another embellishment, specialty paper (such as embossed, glitter, Bling).

If you can think of no 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.

Note: Please no handwritten items.

In general, please follow the “hopemax” guidelines for quality – Do you love it? Are you proud of it? Would you use it in your book? If you can answer yes to those 3 questions, you should be fine.


Choose ONE element from the following list:

- Signage/ Topper: should be the name of the resort, does not have to be traditional 2x8 – other sizes/orientation acceptable also, double matted.
