DUE DATE September 29
This is the swap where I give you sketches and ideas you make them come true. It takes less time than other swaps because the hard part, figuring out where everything goes, is already done for you.
This time things are a little different. I am giving you more liberty with the sketches. I have tried to highlight the rules that are different to help the ones who have done these before. I am also letting you choice your sketches and there can be repeats of it in the same group.
I also picked sketches from two different blog/websites that give us permission to use them. One blog has the sketches where they are printable with the measurements along with examples. The other blog has lots of examples. This will help you see where and how you can customize the sketch.
Here are the Guidlines:
-You are allowed to rotate the sketch/map in any direction you want.
-Some of the sketches may seem very simple. I am giving you the liberty to embellish extra or add extra layers. It should resemble the sketch in number, size and placement of photos along with the journaling being in the same general area. Most sketches have examples of them being used on blogs/websites.
-Please use a layer of cardstock as your base. You may completely cover it with thinner paper. It is very difficult to sort them when they bend and sometimes the embellishments get caught.
-Please use quality paper on your layouts. I will not limit you to name brands, but please use good judgment. If the patterned paper doesn't have a name printed on it, don't use it.
-You are not required to double mat your elements or have to embellish the elements one/two way. Use your judgment on what looks best.
-You must add a mat layer to the photo placements if there is not one already on the sketch. This is different than other swaps I have done for sketches. The mat should be 1/8 larger than the photo size specified.
-You may use any kind of embellishment you like on these sketches where they are indicated or in place of a layer of paper. Ribbon and fiber are good substitutions for paper layers. Bulky and dimensional embellishments are encouraged.
-You may use different embellishments and paper on each of your layouts. Please ensure they are of the same quality.
-Please use generic non gender specific titles Smile, Happy, Giggle, Sunny Day, Splash, PlayTime, etc.
Mommas Boy, Good Girl, Little Princess/Prince, 4th of July, Mothers Day are too specific. Shorter words work best.
websites with title ideas: http://www.scrapbook.com/titles.php http://www.allcrafts.net/fjs.htm?url=www.idreamofscrapping.com/Titles_Main_Frame.htm
-You will not have to tell me your title selection. It will be okay if we have some with the same title. The chances of the same title using the same paper and embellishments is pretty slim. If sign up for a particular title, please do use that one.
-More than one of the same sketch can be in the same group. We did groups using the same sketch last time and they were all different looking inside the same group.
-If the sketch has a date/event/place or anything more than a title, leave that area blank. These can be added by the members after they receive the pages.
-Please do not sign up for more than you can handle. But these should be easier than other page swaps as the placement is already decided for you.
-New to me swappers are limited to TWO groups.
-Please sign the back of your layout.
-Place each group in their own 2-gallon baggie and label the baggie with your real name, DISname and group information. No need for one single baggie for all the group baggies. Please have each set face each other; side 1 facing side 2 so that the backs are on the outside- each group only needs 1 bag.
-Please send postage for a medium or large flat rate box. Do NOT use the Click-it postage from USPS. I cannot use it. It has to be used the day it was printed. Stamps, check or cash are acceptable.
-If you don't mind the delay in return shipping, you may use non-priority to save some $$. Please use packaging I can reuse and send 3-4 extra stamps from what it cost you to mail it to me. Just in case some pages are heavier than others.
-Please include your address in the box. Address label, index card, priority label.
HAVE FUN WITH IT!
