Cruise swap signups coming Wednesday, June 10th!

Also, do you think Castaway Cay should be its own group? I know I always take tons of pictures there and could use a ton of general Castaway Cay/ beach type of stuff. I know I don't need specific things like parasailing, etc., but we could include Cookie's BBQ or the Flying Dutchman. Do any of you have specific activities you would like to see?

Just more brainstorming.....
 
I could use a general Castaway Cay group, if for no other reason to get pieces other than a topper. Not that they haven't been lovely toppers, but I like other elements too.

Looking at pics I have topic ideas: Flying Dutchman, docked ship, Mt. Rustmore, Cookies, Snorkling including the Sunken Mickey, chillin' at the beach, hammocks, and I have a bunch of random pics (the plane by Serenity bay, some of the signs, the Heads Up bar, games area)

It's not always a sunken Mickey though, last May it was a sunken Minnie, because someone broke Mickey's ear off, so then there was a sunken Minnie in there.
 
I'm so very interested in this swap, but I'm unsure of what groups I should join. We're pretty sure we're taking a cruise, but not until next October, so maybe I'll sit this out this year and wait for the next one (once we book it!). ;)
 

morgansmom - maybe you could join some of the general groups, or color groups. Gotta start building your stash!! ;)
 
Hmmm...Maybe...

I'm also trying desperately to get a coloring page to work in Inkscape! I found an adorable Mickey pirate.
 
Here's what I was playing around with today.

I want one!

My mom saw Hope's Donald and wants to join this swap. She does great work and always helps with my stuff. I told her she may only be able to join 2 groups since she is new to here.
 
Maybe for general Castaway Cay, we could do general photo ops places. Like the Flying Dutchman, the ship, the fish that catches humans, Mt. Rustmore, the beach, etc. That way we could get elements for areas that a lot of people stop and take pictures of.
 
I like completed pages too..... I'm more partial to 1 page layouts, but maybe that's just me.
Any chance, Michellepooh, that you could post a sort of mockup of what the groups are going to look like tomorrow? (if you're even still on the DIS right now)...

I know you gave ideas in the first post, but I don't know how exactly the groups are going to be set up. Is it like the color swap, where there's a group, say Castaway Cay, and you just make a "page kit" of elements, or do you pick an element or two and make 5/6 them?
 
I like pages but this and the ABC swap are due at the same time, so I will probably be sticking to elements.
 
hey girls, leave some space in the elements grups for me will ya? I'm at the drs about sign up time (got a really stinking cough) but I need some cruise elements. I only did a basic 3 night Wonder cruise so not sure what I'll be looking at doing. Something simple with moving house in a few weeks!!!
 
OK Ladies, here is a rough outline of what the signups will look like.




Disney Cruise Swap
Signups: June 10th
Mail by: August 8th
Due Date: August 15th


1. Select any two elements. Each element should be embellished 1-2 different ways.
2. PM me with your DIS name, name and address.
3. Post your status on the Progress thread - which will be posted after the slots are filled. Check-ins are required to make sure we haven't lost anyone and that swappers are still able to fulfill their commitment. I will pm you if you do not check in. If you don’t respond within 48 hours of the pm, I will angel your spot. Just let me know if you’re going to be out of town during a check in and I’ll take care of that!
4. Check the progress thread for your status - it will be updated with ship info and received info.
5. PM me if you have problems and need to drop out or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes), let me know so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help if needed.
6. HAVE FUN!!


Here are the elements to choose from (if you have another idea for an element, let me know and I will add it).

Element Selection:
Please, no hand lettering on any items, use computer fonts, rub-ons,
stamps, etc.

(matted stickers are okay too),embossing, stickles, etc.

Element Selection:
Photo Mat – 2PP to fit a 4x6 photo, double matted and embellished.

Topper – 1PP double matted and embellished OR TITLE LETTERS at least 1 ¼ inch with shadow. If you do the letters, please let me know what it spells. You can do the traditional 8 x 2 topper OR you can do a topper/signage piece (welded letters, etc.) It’s up to you!

Journaling Box: 2PP at least a 3x3 writing area, double matted and
embellished with actual journal area placed on top of the two mats

include both....

Embellished Shapes/Squares: 4PP @ 1-1/2x1-1/2 or larger if you wish, double matted and embellished. These can be circles, squares, flowers, etc. be creative. If it is a shape that would not look right double matted please use your best judgment.....Just
make up for it in another way. Maybe make a few extra or throw in
something extra.

A Final Note: This swap is a huge commitment of time and money for everyone involved as it takes a significant amount of both to create all of the pages and elements. Having said that, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not sign up for more than you can handle. It is not fair to me or the other participants to expend the time and money to make something for someone who does not reciprocate. We all want everyone to enjoy swapping but we also want you to think about what you are getting into when you sign up. The due date will not be extended.

I realize there are a lot of groups. Please be aware of how much you can finish before the due date. I've cleared my swap calendar to make way for this one!! :rotfl: If any of the groups fill up, I will add more groups.

Tigger1221 - I don't have a problem with your mom signing up for more than 2 groups. You are a "reputable" swapper, so I know you wouldn't let her sign up for more than she can handle. :goodvibes
 
Too funny, morgansmom! I just got back from taking DS for his 9 month checkup. I'd post the signups now, but I don't want anyone to get mad because I said noon!
 
LOL! I'm here, but I noticed Michelle already has me down for lifeboat drill! Thank you!

I'm getting my list of groups ready.
