Character Meal Swap - All Full!!! Progress thread up soon!

[KAMommy]

I was so afraid I had missed signups - I had to take my mom to a dr. appointment. Could I please have:

Group 1- Cape May Cafe
Group 3 1900 Park Fare

Thanks!!

I have you down...I am so glad you got spots!

I forgot to add - for 1900 Park Fare, would people prefer the breakfast or dinner (they're different characters)? I've done both, so either would be fine by me.

I think just pick your favorite.

Can I please change my group 3 slot to the breakfastaurosaor - whatever in ANimal Kingdom. I got some cute dinosaur stuff today.

Thanks

My group 3 elements will be topper, of course and box n tag

 

[ddavis860]

So, it's a topper and 1 element?

Hey C,

Remember the postal increase goes into effect in May!!!

 

[KAMommy]

So, it's a topper and 1 element?

Yes, a topper and any other one element. I started to do topper and tag, but I didn't want to limit it that much.

Hey C,

Thanks for the reminder, Nancy! I have updated the original post with the new rates.

 

[ddavis860]

Hmmmmm, I guess I'll do slide mounts then as my second.

First, Thank You for adding me to group 2. Second, I'll do 1900 Park Fare Breakfast, as it's our FAVORITE character meal. Think that's it for now. Thanks, Y'all!

Akershus!

DH's favorite restaurant.

God Bless You!

This sounds like such a fun swap. We have only done one character meal on our last trip and have reservations for three for our May trip (I'll be lucky if I get to do two). Obviously, I wouldn't be able to use all of your creative stuff. I can't wait to see the pictures posted. It'll give me some scraplifting ideas for my trip layouts. Have fun y'all.

 

[SusieStone]

I have started on mine. Yippee

Yeah! I am impressed.

I got your sign up changed, Tiggermei! I will have to try that breakfast, I've never been!

I am new to swaps and I am looking for guidance. I have read the stickies with the elements &embellishment definitons. I have a few questions.

1. The swap hostess listed elements in the beginning of the thread. Library pocket is not listed. Is it acceptable to ask a hostess if you can do something not on the list -- or no, swaps are set up with definite parameters.

2. Can I mix and match elements? Example: This swap requires 2 photo mats or 2 journaling boxes. Can I do one of each?

3. Tags: if I do 2 tags should they be the same size?

4. Can I do more than required? Could I do 3 tags? Or perhaps a photo mat and 4 embellished squares?

5. I am not sure I quite understand the box and tag. Is it really 2 separate items-- a journaling box and a tag. Or is it a tag sized to fit behind the journaling box?

6. The topper box dimensions are 8 inches wide by 2 inches high. If I embellish the corners, do I need to make the box smaller so that the widest point is 8 inches. Think of a prima flower in the corner of an 8 x 2 rectangle -- is this okay? Or do I need to make the rectangle say 7 3/4 x 1 3/4.

7. I suppose I should have asked this last question first. Is this the right place for this post? Should I have pm'ed the hostess or started a new thread?

I really appreciate your help. I am very excited to do my first swap.

One more question -- I have seen a thread with some previous swaps -- is there a thread that has completed pages after the swap?

 

[123SA]

Ooohhh!! I just got a great idea!! Can you add me to grp 2 for Play & Dine at Hollywood & Vine? (I'll find out what the exact title is)

Yes, feel free to ask the hostess if you can do an item not on the list.. most of us around here don't mind adjusting our lists... They are more of a guideline...

2. Can I mix and match elements? Example: This swap requires 2 photo mats or 2 journaling boxes. Can I do one of each?
This kind of depends on the hostess.. just ask.. She will let you know... most of us have adjusted especially if a swapper has an idea that would just work better is that elements mix/matched...

3. Tags: if I do 2 tags should they be the same size?
Not all have to be the same size.. Some of them do just because it's easier. Just make sure there aren't dimensions in the element list..
4. Can I do more than required? Could I do 3 tags? Or perhaps a photo mat and 4 embellished squares?
Yes, you can do more than is required...but keep in mind not everyone does..but we have had alot of us do more than required in the past.

5. I am not sure I quite understand the box and tag. Is it really 2 separate items-- a journaling box and a tag. Or is it a tag sized to fit behind the journaling box?
Box and tag.. is just a journal box and tag that are 2 separate items that work well together and just give some variety...

6. The topper box dimensions are 8 inches wide by 2 inches high. If I embellish the corners, do I need to make the box smaller so that the widest point is 8 inches. Think of a prima flower in the corner of an 8 x 2 rectangle -- is this okay? Or do I need to make the rectangle say 7 3/4 x 1 3/4.
Just ask the hostess.. Most of us make them 8 X 2 and add our embellishments to that... We really aren't going to measure them to make sure they are exact.. So, a prima in the corner is great!

7. I suppose I should have asked this last question first. Is this the right place for this post? Should I have pm'ed the hostess or started a new thread?
You may definitely post these things here... there might just be another swapper that had the same question and didn't think to ask.. Also, your hostess for this swap is one that will let you know and answer any of your questions.. as well any of the rest of us on the boards.. We are here to help in any way... I'm sure KAMommy will clarify anything on this post tomorrow for you.. Most of us just jump in and answer questions when we can to help one another out..

I really appreciate your help. I am very excited to do my first swap.

One more question -- I have seen a thread with some previous swaps -- is there a thread that has completed pages after the swap?
You mean our completed pages using the Swap Items? There are some around here.. I think on the scrapbooking board rlovew posted some.. Most of us have collected but haven't scrapped them yet! LOL I myself has a 3 drawer roll-away cart full of swap items I have collected over the year... but I promise I will use them as I complete my 2006 DIS trip, start my 2005 trip...and than will work on my 2008 trip!!!

Please feel free to ask questions any time.. We are all good about helping out!!! aboard!!! The fun has just begun!!!!

First


Use them? I'm supposed to use them?
I just take them out and look at them...all so way cool!

And welcome to the addiction. I think I don't use them, because I'm too busy swapping to actually scrap anything.
