COMPLETE ABC Letter/Elements Swap

[PrincessNancy96]

I still can't decide on Y...but I have some other ideas..just need to search for paper to make it work.. I know what I want...just need to find that paper!

Here is my prototype set for the general O:

The photomats are 3 layers each, one layer is chalked/inked, and the ribbons are only attatched on the back. Any thoughts on if you would like them embellished one more time?

I think this is what we are looking for in the general group Let me know

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Cheryl and Rachel - I LOOOOOOVE both sets!!! Great job! You guys are quick!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

YES!!

That is exactly what I had in mind when Susan first suggested the group with similar colors.

I like it the way it is. The only thing I can see doing is taking one brad off the journal box and putting a Mickey hat at an angle in the corner to tie it with O.

Your O is so cute.

It's funny you say that, I was considering putting a tiny Mickey in one corner of the journal box. I'll fix that now and get started cutting 13 more sets

We went supply shopping yesterday and wanted to get started right away Glad you like them!

No worries. I love your work. And you always come up with the neatest ideas.

 

[MusicalDisneyDreams]

I them!!

The blingy paper counts as embellished on way so the silver stars are definitely enough embellishing.

Some swaps ask for two way, but I don't like to limit you. You can go simple or all out as your creativity and elements lead you.

I think you did a great job. The colors are awesome together.

The two shooting stars are different. One is "sugar-coated" white paper, and the other is shiny silver paper, but it looks gold because of the flash.

Cheryl and Rachel - I LOOOOOOVE both sets!!! Great job! You guys are quick!

Thanks! We went to many, many places yesterday to get exactly what we wanted because the scrapping section of our JoAnn's got flooded by a sprinkler malfunction. Needless to say, we couldn't get anything from there.

 

[wdwmickey]

Here they are with the new journal box embellishment and 4x6 photos layed on the mats so you can get an idea of size

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Those look great!

 

[wdwmickey]

Thanks MusicalDisneyDreams is in the teal shirt (she's short like me)

On my way to Mikes before the 49er game starts 50% coupon and paper 5 for a $1 I just need card stock for this swap so I can keep this stash separate from my other projects. starting my cutting today

 

[catinthehat35]

Went out looking for paper for this swap today and got rather discouraged. I might be over thinking this a bit. Does the red,black,yellow and white for group A have to specifically be Disney paper or can it be any paper within that color scheme. Like, can it just be red and white polka dots matted in white for the letter? Does that make sense? I'm sure the instructions are clear as day but I'm having a tough time getting my thoughts together.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Well, red and white polka dots screams Minnie to me and she is certainly Disney.

You don't have to use all the solid colors. You can pick and choose.

The pattern paper, if you want to use it [because you can just solid or textured cardstock if you want] does not have to say Disney on it. I've seen lots of Creative Imagination stuff that isn't sanctioned by Disney. And yes, you can use polka dot or striped or checkered paper if it is the right colors.

Does that help?

Oh, and if you are using "Disneyfied" paper, it itself can be different colors if you use the specified colors as well with it.

ie- the blue, green, orange white paper that looks like it would be great with a character meal from Creative Imagination. Using black and white card stock would keep that paper in the same family even though it isn't the "right" colors.

OMG!!!! I think the lightbulb just came on! It all makes sense now. See, I know that I was totally overthinking it. Thanks!

AWM--I hate to be the voice of dissent, but, I signed up for the general swap because I am making an ABC book using ONLY red, yellow, black & white. I would rather we stay with those colors. If you want me to I'll drop out today and someone else can have my spot, that's fine. I just would be very unhappy if there were lots of colors in my book. I'm even printing my pictures in black & white.

Let me know what you want me to do.

Thanks, Cheryl


On a related note for those of you having trouble finding red, yellow, black & white patterned paper I have been able to find it at Archiver's, JoAnn's, and online at scrapyourtripdotcom.

Here's my prototype for my One Man's Dream set:

The O has a ring of embossed pixie dust, which is inked/chalked. The photo mat has a white rhinestone Mickey head where the two sections of ribbon cross (and, yes, you can get a pic under and on to the mat). Mickey's hat is inked/chalked so it's darker than his face.

I went with blue, black, and white for my color scheme for a few reasons. The floor of OMD looks like the shiny blue paper and my ribbon, and the walls are blue. Mickey's supposed to be Steamboat Willie.

What do you think? Is this okay?

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will let majority rule on this.

I will send PMs in the morning to the swappers and see if using only those colors will affect others plans.

I really don't mind dropping out of the general colors. It's not that big of a deal--I can use all of the mats I made and I only made 1 "O" so far. I don't want to cause drama. I'd be more than happy to let someone else have my spot

I love these! And you did a great job with the embossed pixie dust -- I bought it at Big Lots and was trying to figure out a good way to use it.
