Interest thread - Completed Character Page Swap **Mostly final list on Page 4**

[SusieStone]

This is sounding better and better to me.

Also, people can take completed 6 by 6 pages and mount htem onto a 8 X 8 page or other sizes and added mats, doodles, embellishments etc. I have done this before in 6 X 6 swaps. Sometimes 2 6 X6 pages can overlap on a page

 

[laurafaith]

im so glad u guys like my idea! swapping completed pages really is fun! im looking forward to swapping with all of u!!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I put 6x6 because someone else mentioned that size. Personally, I would never use that size because I can't figure out what you put it in. The smallest album I've seen is 7x7. I like 8x8 as a size but agree that the 6x6 is more economical.

What do y'all think about a kids' character group. This would be Playhouse Disney, Little Einsteins, Power Rangers - all the things that people without kids would never use.

How about Cars in the Best Buds group?
group 4 - 2 page layout Best Buds
1 - Lilo and Stitch
2 - Buzz and Woody
3 - Alice/Mad Hatter
4 - Peter Pan/Wendy
5 - Lightening McQueen/Tow Mater

Also, the Princess groups don't have to be Princess and Prince. DH suggested Princess/Sidekick which would make Snow White/Dopey perfect.

Do we want to add another group for the "lesser-known" characters that BAMB mentioned. This would be Baloo and King Louie, Robin Hood and King John or Sheriff of Nottingham or Friar Tuck, Anastasia and Drizella, Kenai and Koda, Timon and Rafiki, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. These could also go in a swapper's choice but then everyone might end up with princess pages when they wanted rare characters. I'm not sure how to fit Remy and Turk.

Thinking about required elements - for the 6x6 pages, we will be doing a single character. The layout should have at least one mat large enough for a 4x6 photo uncropped, a journaling area, a title and a decorative element per 2-page layout.

For 12x12 pages - I'm thinking 2 mats to fit an uncropped 4x6 on each page, a title, journaling element and one decorative element per page as a base. More mats can be added but this would be the minimum.

So glad y'all are willing to talk this through!

OK 6x6 with the option to mount on 8x8 at home is a good idea, never thought of that.

kids group:
1) Handy Manny
2) Little Einstein's could be a specific character?
3) Power Rangers
4) JoJo and Goliath
5) ????

Cars with best buds, yes!

Princess and sidekick is fine with me

Snow and Dopey
Belle and ???
Jasmine and Aladdin or Genie
Cinderella and Perla and/or Susie
Sleeping Beauty and ???

you could do a rare character group too but I wouldn't do swappers choice that way you are guaranteed a rare or non popular character.

'K. All of that is sounding good. I'll mock up a more official list as we get closer and post it for review.

Your Kid Group list looks great, BAMB. I don't know what half of those are but I'm sure those with kids do.

Keep posting if y'all think of anything else!

 

[SusieStone]

This idea would be limited to the folks that go to WDW:

1. WDW
2. Epcot
3. Animal Kingdom
4. Magic Kingdom
5. Disney Hollywood Studios

Just an idea.

 

[ddavis860]

I would appreciate having some minimum guidelines, like 4 mats for 4x6 pics, 1 journal box, 1 large element, how many small? ( OK, I'm stressing on the page designs. I always stress about my things...)

Also, will there be certain papers required, like only bazzill, or can we use up our stash? (subliminal message...use up stash....use up stash....use up stash.....)

 

[Faerie]

Susie, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your idea!

 

[SusieStone]

Susie, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your idea!

Thanks

I thought I about it because it was a class at a LSS a couple years back. Very basic stuff but one side had a pocket for a map, etc. I used that set of pages I did for the dividers for each world. I could use about 5 groups of those for different trips and just to highlight trips in a yearly album.

 

[TPCShauna]

Susie - I that idea! I could totally use those pages and I'm sure many of the rest of us could as well.

Debbie - No specific paper. There are way too many of us on the BAN wanting to use our stash to put paper restrictions. Some people will use Bazzill because that is what they always use (like me) and others will use whatever. As always, the most important thing is that everyone do good, quality work - straight cuts, no goopy glue, etc. Swaps have always made me bring my "A" game. I'm definitely not as creative as some of these other ladies but I am a perfectionist so my pieces will always look nice, even if they aren't fancy.

I don't think I want to place a minimum for small embellishments. That would be too restrictive for me and I'm sure for others. I think saying something like one embellishment per page for a 2-page layout is sufficient. Many will go over that minimum because they want to but that is up to them. I know that I don't like super cluttered pages so I would be less inclined to put a bunch of stuff all over my pages. They will look nice but they won't necessarily have something in every spot.

 

[SusieStone]

How about a group for activities like

1. Looking for hidden mickeys
2. Pin trading
3. Getting around at Disney - monorail, boats, buses, trains, etc.
4. Gift shop fun
5.

Just a thought.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I really like your pin trading page idea. We did the pin trading last time, no pics, but I plan on taking pics this time.

 

[rileysmommy]

I love the 6x6 page ideas. They would make the perfect pages for an autograph book for my trip in August.

So when will sign ups be? I'm definitely in on this one. Thanks!!!

 

[TPCShauna]

Susie - Great ideas. I'm willing to have as many groups as people want so keep the ideas coming!

rileysmommy - I think we decided Feb. 6 with the due date being March 31. The exact dates are on the swap calendar.

[SusieStone]

My only question is.....

when's signups?

 

[Michellepooh]

I love the idea of the WDW group. I always have a ton of random pictures from each park that I'm never sure what to do with! I could use a million of those pages!

Playhouse disney characters: Handy Manny, SuperSleuth Pooh, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (Fab 5 and Daisy) This is the new DHS line-up.
