DB-Bazzill/Patteren Paper Epcot Swap (1 MONTH REMINDER)

[ImaDizneyNut]

IMPORTANT NOTE
The due date is a firm one. I will be leaving for Disney on Dec 2. I must have all of the items on or before the due date November 30 so they can be mailed on December 1st. IF all items are not here by the due date I will send them out when I return December 11.

At this point you should know if you can complete this swap or not. So if you drop out now you will be considered and listed as a flake. Sorry to be like that but I just had to complete a swap that was due 6 months ago cause of a flake. Thanks TRACY


You may use ANY color Bazzill paper you want (just let me know what you used so I can list them)
You may accent with patteren paper if you like.
You must have something that represents the country in the kit other than the topper. EXAMPLES: If you are doing France you can use the Effiel Tower, Italy you can use Leaning Tower of Pisa, America you can use Uncle Sam. Those are examples: You may add ANYTHING that represents the country. I just don't want the topper to say France and that is it. I want to incorporate something else besides the topper to show what the kit was about just incase you are doing a 2 or 3 page spread. Think of it this way, if you didn't have the topper how would you know it was a France layout or an Italy layout you had in front of you.

Here is a link to show what all the flags look like

OK with that said on to the swap

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
I know there are ALOT of rules but when I'm in the mood to swap I rather know everything while I'm in the mood. I hate having to email hostesses then waiting for a reply on something. By the time she gets back to me who knows what type of mood I will be in. If you would like to see the results of a swap that I just hosted I will send you a link (as soon as I receive the last 2 packages within a day or 2 I'll post the link). You can see how everything blends together.


NITTY GRITTY
The Nitty Gritty should answer any questions on any spot you would like.

1. NO hand written lettering on ANY items. I may think my handwriting is beautiful (which it's NOT LOL) but you may think its horrid!

2. Topper Spot: Topper must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc).

3. Photo Mat Spots: Picture area must be NO smaller than 4 x 6. Must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc).

4. Journal Box or Library Pocket Spot: Journal Box the area for writing should be NO smaller than 3 x 4. It can be BIGGER if you would like. It also can be vertical or horizontal. Journal Box must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc). Library Pocket must include the card for journaling.

5. 4 Deco Squares Spot or 2 Embellished Slide Mounts: Squares can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal. Must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc). Be CREATIVE: Here are some ideas~~ (http://www.webshots.com/search?new=...ds=deco+squares). Embellished Slide Mounts be creative

6. Song Lyric/Poem Spots or Quote about the country: Song Lyric/Poem/Quote area must be NO smaller than 2 ½ x 3 ½. It also can be vertical or horizontal. Must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc).

Now to the Mailing Details:

1. Place your items a baggie, you will end up with 1 baggie per kit (you will end up with 11 baggies). Please DO NOT label your item on its back. Some people don't like that. Since some of us put items on pictures we would like to make sure the photo stays safe. If you are from a different country please send the proper amount. No item will be returned without enough postage. I will hold it until postage is correct.

2. Label each baggie with your name, screen name & kit name.

3. Since you are getting 11 full kits back. The USPS has a Priority Mail Flat Rate Box; Any weight, any state, for $8.10. This box is large enough to get all your items back to you safely and quickly. It also takes the guesswork out of shipping rate.

PLEASE SEND AN ADDRESS LABEL SO PACKAGE CAN BE RETURNED. THANKS

4. Mail your packages to:
PM me if you don't have it

5. Please email me once your items have been mailed so that I can make sure I'm here for them.

Got down to work on mine this weekend and so far have the toppers, photo mats and shaker boxes finished. So far, I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out.

that's great can't wait to see them
I've been a little busy with things around here I haven't swapped in over a month I know it's a shock LOL
Hubby volunteered me to make a scrapbook for his friend. So that is what I've been doing. This lady just handed me bunches of photos (with no dates, no theme planned NOTHING) so it took me over 2 months to do 36 pages.
This is exactly why I try to do all my swaps as soon as I sign up for them you never know what hubbies will throw at you LOL.

the good news is the book is DONE now i can work on my 2007 swaps I hope to have them all done (5 swaps 155 items all together LOL) before the 1st of the year. I have another kit do in July 26 kits that's 130 pieces all together. Well, Have a wonderful goulish halloween tomorrow and thanks for the update.

You've got it! I'm procrastating on actually putting my shaker boxes together. I've got everything cut out, have the foam tape, have the beads but I just haven't put everything together. What's wrong with me?

sorry I haven't been around
I'm running this swap on 2 boards. Someone from the other swap dropped out of the swap 2 days AFTER it was due. She tought she was gonna stick me. Well I can do a kit in 1 week. The good thing is I had her country in this swap so I had an idea on what to do. I started the kit last night all I need to do is embellish the photo mats and deco sqaure and I will be done. I'll be able to send this swap out ontime since we extended it by 1 week because another fathers dad was in the hospital. I love sticking it to people trying to stick it to me

as for the shaker box what i do:
step 1 get a die cut or anything you want most times people use a sizzix frame.
step 2 die cut #1 punch hole in die cut 1 anyway you want (i see what kind of embellishment I'm gonna use that give me a hint on where to put the hole) it should look like a window
step 3 glue clear plastic on the BACK of die cut #1
step 4 put foam tape around "window" (make sure all foam tape connects together so no beads can get out (should look like a cardle)
Step 5 add beads or whatever in the cardle you made withthe foam tape.
step 6 cut a piece of paper putting it on with the back looking at you place it on the foam tape.

hope that helps
