DUE DATE: october 29
**Due to the nature of this swap, we want to make sure all participants receive a complete set. If you are unable to complete things, please ask for an angel as soon as possible. I will be requiring the following checkins. If I have not heard from you within 3 days of the check in I will send a PM/Email. If I still do not hear from you within one week of that, I will ask for an angel. Just so we are clear up front. ***
Check-ins:August 21
September 4th

You will choose a letter and make 26 altered rolodex cards to swap. You can purchase or use any rolodex of your choosing. We will be making the divider cards which measure 2 1/4" x 4". Your letter can stand for a character, a ride, a land, a park, or anything Disney related.
Please make sure you punch out the slots at the bottom (they sell punches for this at Staples). Several of us have the punch and are willing to share. You can either purchase blank cards and decorate over them or cut out from cardstock.
Feel free to use any cardstock or patterned paper that fits your theme. Since a rolodex is not archival, you do not need to worry about acid-free/lignin-free products. You should include at least two types of embellishments or embellishment techniques (such as, but not exclusively limited to: embossing, distressing, inking, ribbons, brads/eyelets, flowers, charms, stickers, die cuts). Only the front needs to be decorated.
Just as the regular rolodex dividers have the letter on a raised tab, you want to make sure the same is the case for yours. You can do that in whatever creative manner you would like. We will be alternating the left-right placement of the letters just like a regular rolodex so note the placement of your tab next to your letter in the signups.
You may sign up for more than one letter if you want more than one set returned to you, but please allow others to sign up for 1 set first. I will open it up to a second spot per person on Monday.
I will also be hosting a simultaneous swap for the address cards that go in the rolodex, but just to save on confusion, that will be in a separate thread.
Once signups are closed, please PM me your name, mailing address, email address and phone number. I will only use the latter two for an emergency, but I must have an alternate way to reach you outside the boards for check-in purposes.
Mailing/packaging instructions: I am pretty sure the 26 cards should fit easily in a priority mail envelope. Please include $4.95 for return postage. Cash, check or a $4.95 stamp is fine. (No click-it/ship-it postage please.) Each individual card does not have to be in its own baggie if you feel they will not be damaged by putting them all together in one large bag. Sometimes they can be tacky or easily snag on things due to 3-D embellishments - in that case please package to minimize damage (wrap in saran wrap or individual baggies). Label the outside of the largest bag with your name and DIS name. You do not have to label the individual cards in any way.
If mailing after the due date please mail priority. And if you want delivery confirmation please send the .70. I will not send it with dc if you have not included that in your return
Postage money.
Let me know if I've missed anything. Have fun!!
