Newbie Swap
Group Size: 5- you will make 5 of the exact same elements (use the same paper, ect)- If you are using a charm(or other embellishment) package and all the charms match your theme you can use different charms on each instead of buying a package for each person in the group- but the paper used should be the same (although mats(or other element) may be oriented in opposite directions)
Embellishing: All items should be embellished with more than flat stickers: this could be inking, tearing, using a specialty paper (glittered, flocked, ect), stickles, dew drops, pop dotting items, layered diecuts, embossing, and such- if you dont know if you have embellished something feel free to send me a picture and I can help.
Handwriting: Please dont use handwriting- use the computer, rub-ons, stamps, or stencils for writing.
