Monthly Swap- Sign-Ups Closed

[Mickster]

Thanks! I'd love to get a whole year! Only 2 more spots to fill...

 

[MazdaUK]

I'd love us to get a whole year as I've already made 12 April pagekits Would it be worth an extra thread offering "Last two places!"? There must be more swap addicts out there lying low, who just need tempting in....oooah ha ha!!

ETA: I've found some really cute tartan bows - not bits of ribbon, padded stick-on shapes - which I thought of having as one of my "other" items, with tree-shaped brads for the other "other", if that's OK with everyone. I'm trying to remember where I saw a lovely white ribbon with a holly pattern

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I love tartan. So the bows sound good to me.

 

[4ltlTinks]

Glad to see a couple of spots open yet...missed sign-ups!

I'll take September...I have a question though...

Do the people in group 2 want a Fall themed September or a School themed September? I can do some of each if people want different things.

Group 2...Let me know what you would prefer!

Thanks!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

For my embellishments, I was doing a mix of both. Stuff you could use for either.

So I am okay with whatever grabs you creatively.

 

[MazdaUK]

Either is fine with me, but if whoever is doing October also has fall them might we be falled out? Of course, if you don't have kids then a school theme would be no good anyway. As DH and DS(13) have birthdays in Spetember and its our wedding anniversary those would be fine with me

In case anyone needs to know, my April kits are predominantly pink and lilac. DH was impressed, but what does he know I'm so glad I got my Xyron PCS - also that I didn't have to cut out and stick the letters for the longer months! (February is a challenge, right? )

I would love the BBQ theme.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

BBQ would be best for me as we don't celebrate 4th July over here (wonder why )

I'm still a bit torn with mine - I've seen some nice poinsettas, or padded reindeer, but you'd only get one each porbably. The padded tartan bows are cute - about 1/2 inch and you'd get 6-8 each. Leading question - does size matter quantity over quality??

OK, stopping here

Okay, BBQ it is... Especially since MazadaUK doesn't have 4th of July!! I so understand why you don't celebrate that..

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

That is so funny, about the fourth of July.

I want BBQ too please.

 

[Mickster]

I have October in group 2 and I was planning on doing Fall - organgy (is that a word??), yellowy, leafy stuff. Not too much with Halloween as it is only 1 day and I thought fall was more useful.

September and school is ok with me.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

A pumpkin (not jack-o-lantern) would be good too for October.

 

[Mickster]

Yeah, I know it would be good, but I have leaf dies in various shapes and sizes and had ideas for that. I'd have to buy pumpkins. I'll look around, but I think you'd like the leaves. (well, if I can get it out of my head and into the paper that is... )

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Leaves! I vote leaves! I love leaves.. and so do my kids.. with 3 huge big ol' trees in our yard... we get lots of leaf raking and fun pictures each year!!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

O yah, it was B&MB who has the pumpkin die.

I really like leaves. Hence all the leaves on my Thanksgiving elements for the holiday swap last year.

If you use the tool for embossing, you can put a main vein in the leaves, if they are large enough.

 

[Mickster]

Thank you for all of your input. Leaves it is...

Just back and reading through the thread. I've got March in Group 1 and was wondering if everyone would prefer a St Patricks theme or a spring theme? I'm not sure what is being done with April but I don't want everyone to get too much springy stuff but then if no one does anything for St Patricks day thats not good either. Any other ideas? My DH had a basketball idea but thats only good for us college fanatics. LOL

 

[MazdaUK]

Is Easter more often in March than April? Eggs and bunnies would be good then. If you want to steer clear of religious themes you could use the general "new life" idea - lambs, chicks, daffodils. Or wind - we often have it gusty in March. We don't do much for St Paddies, but as I'm group 2 for page kits don't let that worry you if you're in group 1!

leaves is good for me BTW - plenty of them in my garden, especially big cherry leaves. SPOILER ALERT - I used leaves for my Liberty Tree Tavern recipe.
