Disney ABC page swap- Sign ups May 5th

[rlovew]

This wouldn't be an easy swap to split with someone as if you don't do 2 letters than you don't get a whole set back.

yeah...I know, but I am sort of late to the party (conversation-wise at least). So, I would not want to step on toes...know what I mean? So, just thought I would put it out there...sounds like a lot of fun!

LOVEMY3KIDDOS, I will wait until the very last to sign up for letters.

When sign ups are open, it is first come, first pick. We don't play favorites here. Whoever has the soonest posting time will get that particular pick/letter.

Please sign up for letters.

We would love you to join. I am working on the details and sign ups will be the first of May. I will post when I plan to open it up, but make sure you read the guidelines first, because all the details are not listed here and I truely do not want to have any mishaps, because this is also a swap for the MAW kids.

I know...I just know there were many of you already involved!! Thanks for the warm welcomes though!!! You guys are great!!! I don't know how I spent so much time on these boards and never got involved in these swaps!! I have been missing out and have catching up to do!!!

Ok!!! Thanks a bunch!! I will definitely read through everything before getting involved. If I have questions, I'll post before I do anything...I would hate to mess this up...it's a biggy!! So, I will be on the lookout! Thanks again!!!

I've got a few questions. Sorry, I've looked over the previous threads and reread this one a dozen times . I want to make sure I understand what I'm signing up for before hand.

Is each letter on one page (12x12) or on two pages?

Also I can't seem to find the "usual completed page 2 options". I'm assuming there is an element, title, journal box requirement, but I just want to make sure. I wouldn't want to be the newbie that messed it up. I've searched the Sticky FAQ-New to swaps? start here thread and the Sticky
Swap Glossary. Can you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Sheri

Shawn do you have the albums yet for maw? I'd love to send them if you don't.





Edit.... I just went back and read the first post and see that you have the albums already.
Sorry I probably should have read it all first before posting.

Ahhhh....I see....didn't think about that!!! I just saw this & see what you mean!! Thanks!

I was probably the one who confused you here, since I was posting about splitting it with another person/swapper. But, the two of us are in the same family, so sharing the pages isn't a problem for us (well, actually...maybe it could be! )!

And, Sheri, you're right! A "typical" list of the "Choose Two" page elements is on page 1 of the current Hollywood Studios swap hosted by morgansmom2000. Nemomom didn't list this on her page one for this ABC swap, but I'm sure she can/will verify that this is pretty much the same list that she is planning to use. And each letter should be on one 12x12 page.

Hope this helps, and again, welcome to you two!

Thank-you! It does help, especially since Morgansmom2000 was nice enough to let me join her swap as my first one! (We are going on the same cruise, so I figure if I mess up, she'll get me! )

I'll track you down! I got some documents for the cruise today!

I did not post all the details on this thread, because I am trying to work out some of the little things and questions I had.

Let me see if I can sum it up somewhat for you.

First when sign ups open up you will chose two letters and let me know what your topic will be. For example you chose "H" and "B" and you will do "Hidden Mickeys" and disney"Balloons". For the letter "H" you will need to do 15 completed pages and for the letter "H" you will need to do 15 completed pages.

Next you got your letter topics now you will need to meet the completed pages requirements. I have three different options for you to choose from.

Everone's page must have the title part:

Title: topper, letter, borders, block or tag, letters on squares or other shapes or stamped (with a flair-embossing, stickling, hand coloring, or shadowed, etc.). The letter you have chosen should be larger than the rest of the title and it needs to standout from the rest of the title. It needs to be from 2.5 inches up to 3.5 or more if you desire. This measurement is the top layer, not the shadow. Then it should be embellished in someway. You can base it on how we have been making altered letters. It differently needs to stand out for the rest.

Then the three different options for the layout are the following:

Option 1: 2 places for 4x6 photos and a place for journaling visible or hidden

Option2: 1 place for 4x6 photo and 2 or 3 or more places for smaller photos and place for journaling visible or hidden.
AND
Embellished in some way on the page - elements, Jolee's, layers of paper, ribbon/fiber, chipboard pieces, etc.

Option3:(slightly different requirements to follow): Choose one of the sketches that are listed below and make your page based on the sketch. You should use 3 or more different papers, embellish as the sketch demonstrates to do so.
-You are allowed to rotate the sketch/map in any direction you want.
-Please try to stay as true to the sketch/map as possible.
-Please use a layer of card stock as your base. You may completely cover it with thinner paper. It is very difficult to sort them when they bend and sometimes the embellishments get caught.
-Please use quality paper on your layouts. I will not limit your “name” brands, but please use good judgment. If the patterned paper doesn't have a name printed on it, don't use it.
-You are not required to double mat your elements or have to embellish the elements one/two way. -You can add a mat layer to the photo placements if you like. That is the only alteration to the layout that should be done.
-You may use any kind of embellishment you like on these sketches where they are indicated or in place of a “layer” of paper. Ribbon and fiber are good substitutions for paper layers.
-You may use different embellishments on each of your layouts. Please ensure they are of the same quality.

I will have several different sketches you can choose from. I just did not show them here.

Now this is a rough copy off of what I have been working on, but it should give you an idea. The wording will most likely change.

Then the elements list will be included. This guides you on how to make your element choose and the photo mats, etc. Oh and it will only be a one page layout. So once you get your design for the letter it is pretty easy to complete the 15 just takes some time. Hope that helps. And if you have anymore questions please let me know. Someone on here can help.

No problem . I was getting ready to let you know. When I went home at Christmas I went to J's and got a $30 disney princess album for $8. I do have a pooh one I thought about for the boy, but I may just get one of those mickey ones at ACM with a 50% coupon way later. I don't want the pooh to be to girlie.

I JUST finished my ABC book from last year! I'm so excited. I didn't do all of the duplicate pages, since I did a set and a half, but I did a few. It was 30 pages total.

And a certain red Mickey album that someone awesome gave me a few months ago went to good use tonight (and is now stuffed!)

 

[morgansmom2000]

Show us some pictures, Danica!

 

[Arizona Rita]

Yes. please do! Would love to see them and it will also give us inspiration!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

[mycutiepatooties]

[ZeroToHero]

Hahah, okay, I'll see what I can do in the next few days...
