Magic Kingdom Swap Information Thread for both element groups and 12 x12 pages
Sign Up Jan 1 2009 http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2044780 -- for elements
due date March 5, 2009
Warning! I am trying something new with this swap, both in the requirements and in the sign ups. If you are interested in either of these swaps, please read through this thread. I'd appreciate your questions now so we can iron out any problems before sign ups start.
Note: There will be separate sign up threads for pages and elements
For elements the requirements are: 1 title and 1 element
Title = standard 8x2 topper, individual letters with a shadow at least 1 ¼ tall, letters on squares, circles,mini tags or other shapes, a large title tag, title on a box, borders, photo mat, altered CD. Examples in the next post. If you have questions, please ask.
Element: Restriction -- do not repeat your title choice. If you did your title on squares, you can’t do more squares for your element.
1 paper piecing (not a single layer diecut)
2 photomats for a 4x6 photo, 2 layers, smallest layer 4 ¼ x 6 ¼, embellished 2 ways
2 journal boxes, total of 3 layers, minimum writing space 3x3, embellished 2 ways
2 tags (or 1 large tag—greater than 2x3), 2 layers, something in the hole and embellished 2 ways
1 file folder (2 if mini) - -embellished 2 ways
2 slide mounts -- embellished 2 ways
Altered CD
3 altered paper clips
1 shaker box
1 library pocket and tag. Tag must be 2 layers with something in the hole, pocket must be embellished
1 license plate
3 shapes(squares, circles, stars, flowers etc) 2 layers, embellished 2 ways
You can mix and match -- 1 tag and box, 1 photomat and box, 1 tag and 2 squares or shapes, etc.
Sign Ups Open for ELEMENTS:
8:00 AM EST for your first 3 groups,
12:00 AM for your next 3 groups,
4pm for your next 3 groups.
8pm I'll start closing it out if possible.
Number of groups is limited to a total of 9 unless I need help filling in spots.
At 8:00pm I’ll start filling in, but I don’t plan on opening new groups, just filling in. If you want additional spots, see what is open 8:00.
Here is the why – the last few swaps I hosted were done on a first come, first served basis. No group limit. Here is what happens -- I sign up, AWM signs up, NEE signs up, missesdisney signs up -- we are now all in the same groups over and over again. While I love their work, I also love the work of NemoMom, Nancy, DisneyIsTerrific, rlovew and so on who signed up later in the day. Variety is a good thing. I have learned many new techniques from the work I received from different swappers. By limiting you to 3 groups at a time, I think this will spread out the swappers over the groups. It’s possible that it doesn’t work out that way but I’d like to give it a try.
If you are unavailable you will need to find a buddy (other than me) to sign you up. If you are new and can’t find a buddy, send me a pm and I will find you a sign up buddy.
CHECK-IN, ANGEL, PACKAGING & MAILING INFO (mostly lifted from Hopemax...Thanks!)
If I am worried that you will not be able to finish by the the deadline, I will contact you to see if we need to angel some, or all of your groups. If at any time, you realize you need to cut down on the number of groups, or need an angel for all your groups PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I know it’s hard to admit when we are in over our heads, and it’s more fun to receive all the pretty pieces, but there will always be more swaps.
Check In:
January 8 -- verify your groups and PM me with your name, DISname, address, email and phone number (last resort if I can’t contact you by other means). I will pm my info after sign ups close.
January 22
February 12th
February 26rd .
If you miss a check-in, I will PM/email you. If I do not hear from you 48 hours after that, your spots will be angeled. If you are going to be away for a check-in, let me know. For the February 26th check-in, please be specific with your progress, and list the groups you still need to finish and an anticipated mailing date (If you have not mailed already). I want to have a good sense that you will be able to accomplish your groups on time, or if we are going to need angels.
Packaging for elements: Place your completed elements in a Ziploc with your DISname, name and group letter. Take all of your baggies for a group and place them in GALLON size bag, and label with the same. Please use the gallon bag -- your items may fit in a smaller bag, but the items you receive back might be not.
Packaging for pages: Place all 4 pages in one 2 gallon bag with your name, DISname and group number. Please label the back of your page with your name and DISname.
Postage: Here are the prices for Flat Rate Priority Mail Shipping. Envelope - $4.95, Small Box - $4.95 (this is a new item for 2009), Standard box – $10.35, Large - $13.95. You may send to me, by any method you choose, but I would prefer to send to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. However, if you want me to send by a different method, we can work that out. I won’t require Delivery Confirmation, UNLESS you are sending to me AFTER the swap due date. If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the $.65, and a filled out slip. If you are in the both the pages & elements swaps too, I will send everything back in one box, so make sure you send enough to cover postage for both swaps.
DO NOT include clik-it/ship-it postage. I will not be able to use it since it is only good on the day it was printed, and from the location it was printed.
Due Date: This swap is due MARCH 5, 2009. Your package should be in the mail by February 27. I intend to only wait one week for packages that have been delayed by our lovely postal system, before I swap out. If you mail, March 1 or later, you must send Priority and you must include DC so I can verify the shipment and keep tabs on its status. I know emergencies can happen, and those will be handled on a case by case basis.

I think that is everything. Post your questions if you have any.
But I will definatly need a sign-up buddy since I dont think i will be able to get here at 5am my time. Now that would be crazy to set an alarm right? 
And you can let me know if I'm on the right track? Maybe? I am sure I have to step it up a notch or two. 
(We don't either!)
