Holiday/Seasons Completed Page Swap - Prototype Thread **Due 8/27**

[rlovew]

I'm bringing mine to SDV with me so I can get most of it done there. I am waiting on the Fall paper but that will be here when I get back. But if someone has it at SDV I will buy it there.

I have mine packed to work on there also.

I will answer IMO as a participant rather than a hostess. I don't use Disney embellishments outside of my Disney books. In my life books, I stick to generic embellishments so I would not be able to use pages that have Disney embellishments in a non-Disney theme.

I know that there are participants in this swap who DO use Disney embellishments on non-Disney pages so I think I might be in the minority.

My best recommendation as a hostess is to poll the members of the group for that set of pages to ask what they would prefer.

Sorry I couldn't be more definitive. I just don't want my personal opinion to overshadow the majority just because I am the hostess.

I don't use Disney embellishments on on Disney pages either. That's just me though.

 

[KatDisney]

Ok I will stick with non disney that's why I was asking.

 

[SusieStone]

Here are my Winter pages, well the general idea. It's still missing something around the title. And I still need to tweek some things. not a very good picture ..hmmm.. Snaps I have to do this over, I didn't do the 3x3 squares

What about the 3 X 3 squares......I didn't do them on mine.....Do I need to redo?

 

[TPCShauna]

3x3 squares aren't a requirement. Rather, they can be used instead of one larger photo mat.

Did that answer your question?

I may do that for summer

I think it is rather plain but I like it and Raine say's its great the way it is. Should I add anything? My title is the paper piecing little boy writing on the wall with his crayon " Happy Mother's Day" I've inked the photo mats and 3x3 squares. I love the cord ribbon look with prima's on each photo mat. These are not glued down that is why they look a little crooked.

Also: I'm thinking of adding a long box for a Child's signature to go in, So when you look back at them being little you can see their handwriting

Background paper will vary from this as I am trying to use stash paper.

Without Signature box:

With signature box;

I love it!

I love the idea of the block for the handwriting.

Here are my last two prototypes

Summer
You can't see it in the photos but everything is machine stitched except the title. I plan on stiching the mat on to the middle of the second page and the other 4 mats with be sewn and of course glued to page

Susie:

Need instructions how did you do that amazing trick or treat title??? It was very difficult....NOT...I got it at the 40% off time at Ms - it is Jolee's. The little bag and candy came with it. I wanted to do something different with it so I made a border and made two squares - one for each side of title. I thought it looked different.

Love all your LOs!!!

Thanks
