Characters ~ 2" Words & 4" Altered Letters Swap
Information for the Characters letter swap (Groups in the next post)
Sign ups will open on Monday September 12, 2011 10 am (Eastern). Due date is November 10, 2011. This thread will become the sign-up thread at that time and the progress thread after.
Newbies are welcome. If you haven't swapped with us on this board before, then I will limit you to 4 groups.
There are 2 different types of groups listed:
1.) The first set is for 2-inch embellished letters. Shadow layer should measure 2. All letters should be CAPITAL/UPPERCASE
2.) The second set is for 4-inch altered letters. Shadow layer should measure 4.
Groups are listed in the next post.
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).
Groups 1-49 are 2" letter groups. The letters each swapper will individually make can be combined to spell out the entire word on your scrapbook page. Make your specified letter(s) 2 inches tall with a shadow/mat behind it. Embellish your letter(s) at least once to go along with the theme of the title. You may use patterned paper or solid colored cardstock. Please be creative and use colors that represent your group selection.
Groups A-J are 4" altered letter groups. Make a 4" letter, matted, and embellished at least once. You may use patterned and solid colored paper. Please be creative. You are making the first letter of the word only. An example is: You are in Group A and chose M for Mickey. You will make a 4 inch M and when everyone gets it back they can add "ickey" to it anyway they want or just use the "M" on their page to represent Mickey.
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 and specialty paper (such as embossed, glitter, Bling).
Packaging: Place your completed elements in a Ziploc bag THAT FITS YOUR LETTER(S). The bag MUST close. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use a bag that closes. Bags that do not close make the sorting harder than it needs to be. One piece falls out of a bag and then I have to check every bag to see where it goes. Label your bag with your DISname, name and group letter. Do not address your items to a particular swapper. (That makes it harder for me to sort!) Your label should look like this:

Group 1
For All 2 inch Letter Groups: Please put each letter into a tiny bag (ie small jewelry bag or snack bag) then put those bags into a SANDWICH or QUART size baggie for each group. If you have 2 letters in the same group please put both letters into the same jewelry/snack bag then into a SANDWICH or QUART size baggie.
For All 4 inch Letter Groups: Please put each letter in its own labeled baggie and put all the baggies into a QUART or GALLON size labeled baggie.
Mailing:
* You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after November 1st. Then, you must mail Priority WITH Delivery Confirmation.
* I prefer to send to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes from the USPS. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. The rates are: Envelope or Small Box (9x6x2) - $5.20, Medium/Standard box $10.95, Large - $14.95.
* If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the $.70, and a filled out slip. I will not mail the items back with delivery confirmation unless you include the $.70 and the filled out DC form.
* DO NOT include click-it/ship-it postage. I will not be able to use it since it is only good on the day it was printed, and from the location it was printed.
Required check-ins will be:

October 10 - check-in with status update
October 24 - check-in and last call for angels

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.
I hope you have lots of fun in this swap!!
