ABCs of Disney - Altered Rolodex Swap! ALL POSTAL 6/11! Enjoy!

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Patchchild what does your card holder look like? I need to buy one!

 

[patchchild]

I hit their office supply section to find one. It's just a simple base, without a cover. With all the embellishment work that everyone is doing, I didn't want anything being squished or hidden under a cover.

I am going to change my Little Einsteins a little. I couldn't find stickers but I got a stamp on ebay. I am just waiting for it so I can finish.

Hey all.. my AK is not working out the way I want it too... if I can't get it in the next day or two... would anyone object to me doing Aurora instead?? I have an idea and am going to sketch it tonight and template it tomorrow...

The AK.. looks good in my head.. but not on this small of a layout.. Sure hope it will work on an 8X8 page I need to do...

 

[Mickster]

I'm sure whatever you make will be wonderful (as my DD would say). But to be honest, I like Aurora more than the AK. No offense to the animals, of course.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I like Aurora. And since this is for me, the girlie the better.

Maybe your idea would work better on a journal box element? (you can size those anyway you need to)

That is what I'm wondering too... .It's a cute idea... just isn't working on the rolodex cards.... off to find some clipart!!!

 

[patchchild]

I finished my cards!! Whoo hoo. They are rather varied from one to the next in terms of colors, but all the same style and embellishments. Now I just need to wait for one of the punches. Fortunately, there's lots of time, so no rush.

And I only bloodied my finger with a brad once, I must be getting better.

 

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

I've never been to AK, so Aurora is better for me!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Aurora sounds cool! I love princessy stuff!!

 

[rlovew]

Aurora is my favorite character.

I wanted to share a photo of my card. Now I just have to punch the holes in them.

This is my first swap so please tell me how you like them.

Do you mail the cards in a box I am thinking that would be the safest way to send them?

 

[Ilovemyprincesses]

I love them. Thanks for sharing. I usually send in a bubble mailer but it is up to you.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Those are cute! Did you use stickers or stamps? The only potential problem I see is is someone bought the round rolodex. The ribbons might get hung up in the stand. I'm not sure if anyone bought those though.

For mailing you can get a flat rate priority envelope from the Post Office, That is what most of us use. Put all of the cards in a ziploc bag (incase they get left in the rain) with your name and DIS name on it . The postage increases before the swap is over though. So you will need to include $4.60 in money or postage for your return postage. Not sure which Joy prefers. And if you want delivery confirmation it's an extra 50¢.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I am so glad you like them It is a combination of stickers and stamps. The letter Y, the star, the shoe and the swirly Mickey head are all stamps.

The black and red Mickey heads are stickers. I hope the ribbons don't get in the way too.

I think I will use a box so the Mickey heads at the top don't get bent or pop off the cards.

I think it is time to turn off the computer and head to bed

 

[Mickster]

Hey! That is super cute. I'd better get moving on mine!!

 

[SusieStone]

I am really kicking myslef for missing this one.

Cute!!!

I mail everything in a box!! I've just had really bad experiences with the USPS and it's too much time and money to take any more chances. But, a lot of people use envelopes, I guess.

Hi everyone! Just popping in to say hello. I am feeling MUCH better now! Turns out that I had really bad inflammation in my chest as a result of having the flu... so much so that I had asthma-like congestion, no air moving... doctor put my on steroids to bring down the inflammation and now a week later I am breathing much better and hardly coughing at all. He said it was so congested that he couldn't even tell if I had pneumonia, though he did hear it was "wet" in my lungs.... anyway... I'm on the mend now... thanks for the well wishes. I'm looking forward to next weekend when I will have a chance to get these cards done! Have a great week!
