Color Swap - Mailed back to you!

[ZeroToHero]

Alright... I've narrowed down the choices, except for Cosmo Cricket - I still don't know what to pick from that one...

If I took one off the list that someone liked, let me know.

My Mind's Eye:
-Laundry Line (free choice from the different sub-lines)
-So Sophie, Charming (there are a few other So Sophie sub-lines that go well with Charming if you want to combine)

My Little Yellow Bicycle:
-Fresh Print Clothesline

Basic Grey:
-Nook & Pantry
-Max & Whiskers
-Lemonade

 

[ZeroToHero]

By the way - signups are next Tuesday, just as a reminder! I'm thinking 9 am (EDT), does that work for everyone? Do you want it earlier/later? Would 10 be better for those of you from the west?

I don't understand what this is? Please explain or link me to a site. Thanks

Hopefully this works - I pulled these quotes from the page before this one (Page 4), if it doesn't:

Alright, I pulled together some specialty groups. Let me know what you think!

I tried to get a mix of boy and girl... not all pinks.

This is the list of "Specialty Papers" groups - I had a lot, as you can see, and I wanted to cut the list down - the list above, that you quoted, are the ones I picked to be the final groups.

 

[wdwfan16]

You have to pick the paper in that group but can do any in the group?

 

[ZeroToHero]

Right. So, say I'm doing the Capella line, I might use Libretto and Mezzo to make a photomat & matching journal box (and then one more element of my choice), and then use some white matching Bazzill as a journaling mat on top of the Capella.

This WCer is fine with whatever time you open, Im up at 6am most days anyways
Are you keeping the groups at 4 players each?(fingers crossed!)?
I already have groups and paper picked out (and started!), as Im making a baby book for my neice and thought, well, Im here, why not cut!

Yep! Keeping it at 4.

Just a reminder - the Color Swap opens tomorrow at 9 am!!!!

 

[PinballFamily]

Just a reminder - there is also a "scrap paper" group in this swap. Not sure what Danica is calling this...

Swappers who want to participate in this can make one or more single-page layouts and will get the same number of pages back - done by different swappers. This is a good chance to use up good quality paper scraps, leftover embellishments, etc., as each page can/should be different. The completed pages can use patterned paper and/or solid color paper, and just all need to be done to the same high quality so that you can be sure you'll get quality back!

Haven't tried anything like this before, so we'll have to see how it will work out, but might be lots of fun to do! So, look through your scrap stash and see how many scrap paper pages you might be able to create... Just to keep things manageable (for this first time out) and to *make sure* that no one gets any of their own pages back, we should probably limit scrappers to no more than five pages for this scrap paper group. What do you all think?

[Arizona Rita]

yes, I realize that signups are not up yet but as I go off to bed to dream of my fave swap I have a question on Pam's section.
For that part, we are doing a page with the regular page requirements, yes?
I hadnt heard much about that part so am not sure, but if that is the case, I have soooo many scraps left over from the baby books Im making, 2 cuz we're having twins, that I would take at least 2 sections.
OK, Im rambling! Say goodnight Gracie!
See ya in a couple of hours!

Rita, you are brilliant! Thank you. Sorry...forgot that this swap was changed to elements (not pages) for lots of reasons, including postage, interest, etc. So, we can still do the "scrap paper" component, but just do elements instead of full pages. This section will still be limited to a maximum of five sets per person so we can swap easily among participants and each set will probably be one-of-a-kind (fun!). So, ladies, paw through those scrap bags, boxes, and stashes to find some great bits for this first-time project!

 

[MazdaUK]

hey, I've got some scraps - only about a truckful I'm ready to sing up for that group - just need to pick which one to drop....

 

[Arizona Rita]

I'm awake now and ready to go, so as mervyns used to say, "OPEN!OPEN!OPEN!"
(was prepared to do pages or elements!)

 

[PinballFamily]

Here's the description for the Scrap Paper Group:

**********

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.

***********

This should be fun! It will be interesting to see the eclectic things people come up with...! Since it is the first time we're trying this group, feel free to ask questions if things aren't clear.
