I keep my photos on photobucket and just paste the individual pics on the thread. Use the one that has the

Well done with coping with international posting - its a mystery to me how anything gets past the post people

I've found tape runner and "wet" adhesive a problem with bazzil, but splits and double-sized tape are fine. I think its to do with the surface, maybe because of the texture.

The problem I had with bazzill and the paper bags is it's not sturdy enough (the bags). Bazzill to bazzill with tape runner, no problem

Thanks Kat, but I just this minute finished uploading them to a new Photobucket Account. I'll remember that for another time though.

Happy Campers, that monkey is the cutest thing ever! Ditto to AWM's boat!

Thanks.

Lesson learned, make the paper piecing larger. Those little pieces are a pain to get out of the sheet and even harder to glue on.

Actually, now that you bring up the size of the elements...

First, let me reiterate how gorgeous these swap elements are!! What a fabulous job you all did!! I hadn't done any swaps on the DIS for about a year & a half and was honestly a bit surprised at how large many of the elements were. It made me wonder about mine. Is bigger better? Is that a new trend - making the elements bigger? Fewer things on a page? I don't like mine crowded, but I don't think I've even done a LO with only one photo one it either.

Any thoughts?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think the larger tags have two purposes, some have room for journalling and can also be used as a modified mat to highlight the photo.
I think I like the larger elements because I can do more with it as I am making it. More elaborate, elegant, funny, detailed that I can't do with the smaller ones. That and when you look at them on 2 peas the look huge to me.

I'm the opposite, smaller to mid range. But I am leaning toward doing some 8x8 albums so space is at a premium.

Thanks so much. I can't take full credit for the idea. Someone (sorry I don't have a name) posted one like that on the Cricut boards in one of her layouts, and I loved it. It was made with ZooBalloo, so you better believe I had fun saying, "ZooBalloo Abu."

Everyone's work looks fabulous! This was a fantastic swap! We just got back from WDW (followed almost immediately by a church camp weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks), so coming home to see this is a treat! There were times on vacation when I had to make sure to get pictures in certain areas in anticipation of this swap. "Here honey, get a picture of me and the kids on Jungle Cruise so I have a good picture for the Adventureland layout." "We gotta make sure and ride Aladdin's carpets and get a few good shots so that I can use my ZooBalloo Abu."

Wow! Such great work. It amazes me that we all do such different things with essentially the same topic. Thanks to the hostess and to all.

 

[piratesmate]

Wow that was fast! I agree about the diversity too. It never ceases to amaze me how different things can be when using the same theme!!

Enjoy your items!

I can't see the pictures but I will wait for arrival

Did you try the link in the first post of this thread? I moved the photos from the place I PMd you about. You won't need a password to use that link.
