GROUPS:
New to me swappers are limited to three (3) groups.
For monochromatic groups: use any shade of the color, white, black, or a neutral color, or patterned paper that is mostly the color of the group – judgment is up to the designer if a paper is, for example, light blue or sea foam green.

Specialty Groups -
Just as a reminder - 1 photomat, 1 journal box, and 1 other element.

4.
Basic Grey (groups are combined): Make 4

1. LOVEMY3KIDDOS - mat & tag (Nook & Pantry)
2. ZeroToHero (Nook & Pantry and Lemonade)
3. MazdaUK - topper (Lemonade)
4. Pinball Family (Lemonade)
Scrap Paper Group
One-of-a-kind element sets using bits of leftover paper, embellishments, ribbon, etc. Maximum of five sets per swapper, so we can more easily/randomly exchange among participants and not get any of our own sets back. Patterned and/or colored paper of any color are ok. The point of this group is to use up our scraps in fun and creative ways, so if you have enough to make 2+ groups with the same materials, that’s fine, but if you don’t, that’s fine too.
