Animal Kingdom Swap PAGES - CLOSED & COMPLETE

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Sounds good Susan!

Yesterday, the last of the paper I ordered for this swap arrived. I've finished my stuff for the color swap so these pages and the elements are next on the list!!!

 

[123SA]

I have everything cut for Gorillas pages and hope to have all groups cut by the end of the week.

Quick question: I am in the process of cutting my photo mats do you want them double matted. My top mat is .25 inch larger than the photo so once the photo is placed it will look like it is double matted, but only one layer under the top mat. Does that make sense? I have double one of my smaller photo mats, but not sure on the larger mat.

Also I was reading the requirements and my layout does not excatly match up to the options. I went and redesigned last night, but may need to go back to the orginal idea. For my double page layout I have 3 - 4x6 mats and 2 - 3 inch photo mats (one which could be used as a journal block), because my orginal journal area is in the shape of a bone but the area only measures 4.25 width by 1.5 height. So I did not think that was enough room , but will be keeping them in the page by doing a tuck under one of the photo mats.

Now I probably confused you,because I am thinking I confused myself.

On the photomats, they should be double matted, meaning there are 2 pieces of paper between the photo and the 12x12 background paper. Does that make sense?

Your double page layout will work withe the 5 photo mats (the extra 4x6 will knock of 2 of the smaller ones). The bone will be fine for the journal area. I like the creativity of using the bone and that will make a cute journal box.

Did I answer everything? Your page sounds good, I can't wait to see it!!!!

Thanks DIT. So I just need two mats under the actual photo. Is that correct. Just want to make sure I get it right. You know how blondes can be...

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Yes, 2 mats. For a 4x6 photo, one mat would be 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 and the bottom one would be 4 1/2 x 6 1/2.

. Hope you all like BIG dinosaurs....lol. I think its cute and BIG. It my Dinoland USA is a little on the cute side... cant help it I just couldnt wait to make some Dinos.

I finished gorillas and Camp Minnie-Mickey. So much for doing all the cutting at once...I couldn't deal with the projects in partial state.

I think I'll do Africa pages next.

 

[NemoMom07]

Wow Susan you are super fast. I have been working on my 2 page layout for about a week. I did get one of the pages all cut and assembled one page of the 4. I got papers pulled for my cuts on the other page.

I finished Kali River Rapids, so my last thing to do is Pangani. I'm going to try to do it today, because I'm almost done the Resort Swap too, so that means I can get the Animal Kingdom cartridge back to NEE along with that.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Here are the 2 pages that 123SA has completed so far! Great job Susan!! I'm so happy to be getting both of them!!!!!

Group H - Gorillas

Group M - Camp Minnie-Mickey

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Too cute!!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Camp Minnie Mickey is really cute! I can't wait to get it!

 

[NemoMom07]

I am not in either one of those groups. They are awesome.

 

[ZeroToHero]

Here are mine - finished tonight! I'll wait a bit, and make sure no one else needs an angel in the Color Swap for a few days. Then I'll mail out. (You'll be gone anyway, so I will wait until next weekend.)

The grey paper is textured, the diamonds are popped up. (Can't think of the official terminology..)

I figured the orange picked up on the raft without trying to look like a life ring if I made it a circle. I was trying to avoid that.

The tree can be used as the second journal box. Anyone who is also in the ABC swap will be seeing this tree again... and those letters.

And if you're in the AKL group for Resort, you'll be seeing the letters again. They're so versatile!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

ZTH they all look great! I love the water drop I's on Kali River Rapids, that's cute.

I get 2 of those pages!!!!!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I've started a slideshow for this swap. The link to it is in the 1st post of this thread.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Those are very nice ZTH!

 

[NemoMom07]

I like those ZTH and I get 2 of them.

I am leaving to go out of town in the morning and will be gone until the evening of the 7th. I'm going to take my laptop and see if I can get internet access at the hotel. If I can get online, I'll try to check in at least once a day. In the event I can't get online, 123SA will be keeping an eye on things and will answer any questions you may have.
