Honestly, that group is more my speed as well. I'm like you - no kids so not too many character pics outside of my faves - Stitch, Mary Poppins and Ariel. They are literally the only ones I'll stand in line to meet (except for Mickey of course - who could miss meeting the Main Mouse?!)

 

[ddavis860]

Loved seeing the pages!! Especially the winter pages...OMG...soooo cute! Now if we ever get any s**w, I'll be scraplifting that one for sure!!!

 

[Faerie]

I do a lot of character pictures but it's usually just me, so they fit on 1 or 2 layouts. Every one in a while I'll get DBF in the picture (believe it not, usually with the princesses)

 

[laurafaith]

just a thought on the last group -- what about a buzz/woody gang?

 

[TPCShauna]

That's fine with me. I couldn't think of another that were seen together often. I know someone said Playhouse Disney but I'm not sure how many people would need/want that.

Shauna I don't mean to step on your toes either, just helping out where I can!

ETA: depending how big you want this either scale back or add more!

 

[TPCShauna]

No toe stepping here! I appreciate you putting it all together.

Just a couple of things. I know I would use an Alice/Mad Hatter and Peter Pan/Wendy more than Emile/Remy (I know they are cute but they still freak me out) or Pinocchio/Geppeto. Also, we can leave Mary Poppins/Bert off as I'm sure I'm the only person who obsessively seeks photos of them.

The Good vs. Bad sounds good as well. What list are you referring to?

I'm good for multiple groups. My WDW Event Swap had about a gazillion (not as many as yours O Swap Goddess ) so I've got my big swap technique down.

Do you want to tack in a 12x12 group for the Group Pages? Like this one - 1. Pooh and Friends
2. Fab 5
3. Princesses
4. Villians
5. ??

BTW - how's the calendar looking for timing?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

the calendar looks great for maybe an early Feb sign up.

the group you just mentioned could be swappers choice or as you have it listed, not sure who the 5th slot could be, brain freeze.

let me see if I can find my good vs evil swap notes. Be back soon!

and add who(m???) ever you would like in group 4, I was just rambling. And no you are not the only one obsessed with Mary and Bert, oh the stories I could tell!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

here is a link to the pics:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1283433

basically it was a kit with good and evil elements. so 1 page could be Peter and the other could be Hook.

 

[TPCShauna]

How about sign-ups on February 6 with a due date on March 31. That's almost 2 full months. We can back the due date to March 21 if y'all think that's too long.

I'm just concerned that we might need a bit more time because there is quite a bit more work involved with this.

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me. I will be done with the character swap by then

 

[laurafaith]

fine with me

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I would leave it at the 31st, we'll (I'll) need all the time we (I) can get! LOL

You speak the truth, o wise one. I was thinking the same thing! Will you add us to the official calendar?

I'll continue working to refine the groups. Please continue to post ideas. I love the democracy of the DIS Swap Boards!!!!

 

[NemoMom07]

I am showing some interest in this one. I like the 6x6 size or maybe we could go 8x8. My plans for this side is an autograph album. The 8x8 would give a little bit more room for the elements along with the pic and autograph without making it to cramped on the pages.

Other characters I interested in are:

Little Einsteins
Cars characters
Turk
Remy ( I have not meet him yet but when we go I would like to have him
ready).


The later the due date the better for me. With coming off the character swap it would be good to have a little bit of a breather before starting in on this one, so I could get my creative juices going.

[BernardandMissBianca]

Up on the calendar.

Shawn, we typically pick 6x6 since it's easy to cut paper, but I am open to suggestions. We can talk to Shauna more, like she said, we are a democratic board.

Picking DH's and DS11's brains:
Baloo and King Louie, Robin Hood and King John or Sheriff of Nottingham or Friar Tuck, Snow White and Dopey (together a lot in Germany), Anastasia and Drizella, Kenai and Koda, Lightening McQueen and Mater, Timon and Rafiki, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

 

[laurafaith]

ohhh i didn't think of lightning and mater -- good suggestion! i also like the 6x6 size -- more econimical!! u can get 4 pages out of 1 12x12 -- just my thoughts!

 

[TPCShauna]

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!

I buy 6 by 6 albums regularly- I use them for baby books for people who don't scrap. I like you idea for the number of elements on a page- really you would need the same number of sheets for the background if you did 8 by 8 as you would for 12 by 12- also if you wanted to make the 6 by 6 into 8 by 8 you could simply mat the pages and maybe add on a little decoration in the corners or a small border.
