DCL CRUISE (Bazzill Only) --Please read the last page if you were in this swap!

[havencruiser]

The patterned papers don't have the be the same for each kit. However, I would think if would work best if both pages within a kit were the same.

Speaking of going "out" to work on swaps......
How much "extra" work is it to get everything together to have the right stuff to get things done outside your scraproom? I am going to the Disney crop at the Yacht Club later this month and am wondering how NOT to take my entire scrap room contents just so that I didn't "Forget" something I needed?

I just got back from Valley Forge and I'm heading to the YC in a few weeks, so I've become the expert packer! It's really not too much work. I try to preplan pages with exactly everything I need to complete the page so I don't end up bringing 9000 sheets of paper and embellishments. As far as tools go, I pretty much just bring my basic trimmer, CM cutting system and crop a dile. And adhesive---lots and lots and lots of adhesive. No matter how much I bring, I always run out.

I wouldn't worry so much about forgetting stuff. If it's a tool, chances are someone has it that you can borrow. If it's some sort of embellishment, you can always leave a blank spot and fill it in when you get home.

Hi Diana,
I will be at YC, too! If you have your DCL pages done for this swap, I will be happy to bring them home with me so you won't have to bother mailing them. I have a bunch of Disney swaps to work on at YC. I figured if I brought all the Disney stuff with me, that would eliminate having to decide which of all the non-Disney stuff I would need to work on regular scrapbook pages.
See you at YC!

Sharon, What i did.. is, I did a "trial run" of what i wanted to do for my spot, did all the elements (1 of each), then, gather all my materials to recreate those elements, pre cut my cardstock and paper (if i have time), then just pack whatever else i need to complete them like the demo one i did. So, when i have all my stuff, i just put it in a gallon bag.. So, when i pull out the gallon bag at the crop, all my stuff to complete those elements is right there in the bag.. No extras. Plus the demo one i already did. Then i just copy it - x's 10 or whatever.
That is the total key - PREPLANNING! But, i usally don't like to work on my own full size books at crops, due to the fact i am usally lacking space, and i like to socialize and stuff.. I find i am not as "creative" at a packed crop. Too much going on. But, if i preplan layouts or whatever, and put my sketch in the bag with all my elements, i can at least get my stuff done without much thinking involved.
Also, b/c my brain shuts off at 9pm. That is my rule. LOL All my friends know it!! Don't ask me for scrappin advice after 9pm!!!
But, at 5 or 6 am, i can knock your socks off!! LOL

Cool!! My stuff is done already, I finished at VF, so I'll bring it with me!

Hi Ladies!
How are your kits coming along??? I can't wait to see all of them. I have finished all (well, almost all) of my other swaps that come before this one and plan on working on this one on Sunday after DD's 16th Birthday Luau
I was looking at the bunch of other swaps I have due after this one and realized that they are ALL Disney swaps. Is there such a thing as Compulsive Disney Disorder??? I think I have it.

 

[havencruiser]

BUMP

 

[YodasMom]

I have all my supplies and plans in order.

But, I need to finish a couple of other DIS swaps before I put these together. It should go fast once I get to it.

 

[havencruiser]

I did the same thing. I got all the supplies in order and am taking the "Goodies" to work on at the Dreams Unlimited event next week-end in Orlando. I have a whole bunch of other Disney swaps to work on before this one is due.

 

[Caitsmama]

OMG, i can't even tell you how much fun i had on this swap!! I am just about done with my 2 spots.. I have never spent this much time on one swap, but had so many great ideas!! And i am VERY happy with how my stuff turned out. Too bad i am not even going on the DCL til 2008!!!! HAHAHAHAHA
Hoping to have my stuff postal next week!

 

[havencruiser]

I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the swap! I am working on this one tomorrow. I have been having so much fun getting the stuff together. I can't wait to see everybody's stuff. I was on DCL last Christmas and am going again this Christmas. I hope to scrap the first trip before taking the second. Too much swappin' and not enough scrappin'!

 

[Caitsmama]

Sharon, Do you go FOR Christmas? That must be kinda cool!! Getting away from all the hustle and bustle.
And i know you are planning to leave soon for SDV right? when are you leaving?? I am so jealous!! Are you scrapping your stuff or working on swaps?

 

[havencruiser]

Last year the cruise started before Christmas (12/24). This year it starts on 12/26 but we are going to WDW on 12/21 to spend a few days there before the cruise. It was beautiful onboard with all the holiday decorations.
I am going to OKW and YC next week for the scrapbooking event.
This DCL swap is the last one I am completing before FLA. I plan to do it over the week-end and then spend the rest of next week packing all the stuff for the scrapbooking event and head off to OKW on Thursday and move to the Yacht Club on Friday. Wooooohoooooo!

 

[havencruiser]

Hi everybody,
If you are in this swap and will be at the scrapbooking event at the Yacht Club next week-end and would like to deliver them to me directly, I would be happy to meet you AND take your things home with me. That way, you would only need postage for their return trip home. Even if you don't have them done but are there, I would love to meet you anyway! I will be staying at the Yacht Club.
