Here is what I am looking at as details for the Calendar Swap that starts next week. Let me know what you think. The swap will open when I get up and on-about 8am EST. I won't take presign-ups but you can get a swap buddy. You may only sign up once for each group until we are ready to close out. If a style of group quickly fills up I will open another. If you are new to swapping with me than I ask you to only join each type of group once.
Groups:
Group 1: Completed Pages (12 pages)
For this group you will choose a month and make a 12 by 12 page for the month. Each page should have:
1. a title (can be a topper with the month, individual letters, a bookmark style down the page) which should be double matted and embellished.
2. mats: this can be 2- 4by6, 1-4by6 and 2 smaller mats, 1- 5by7, and 1 smaller mats, or 4 plus small mats. All of the mats should be embellished at least once (see list of embellishing techniques for examples).
3. A journaling spot- this can be a tag, hidden behind something, a file folder, a matted box, a matchbook. You journaling spot should be double matted (except file folder/matchbox) and embellished twice. It should have at least a 3 by 3 inch journaling area)
3. 1 large or 2 small other elements or page enhancements
Large: border, paper piecing, pocket (for journaling tag?), shaker box, matted poem/lyric (see elements listed below for requirements)
Small: matted shapes (3), slide mounts, layered diecuts
Page enhancements: stickling background paper, embossing on page, adding flock to page, basically using the background paper embellishing instead of adding layers to it (this should only be done if using a patterned background paper.
