Newbie Has Questions...

I vote that Maria should be in charge of all future swapping commercials. She does a GREAT job!

I'm glad it wasn't only me who made stupid hige first swap items And the colours were horrible too - bet they went straight into everyone's bins!

My first photo mat in a swap was about the size of an 8x10 instead of 4x6 and my tags would have held the 4x6 pictures instead and I had no idea what a slide mount was or why someone would ever need one in for slides in the year 2007 since pictures are mostly digital or at least film right? or make a border, puzzle piece, matchbox or other weird thing for the scrapbook.
Whew - I'm tired now.....

Me too!! Totally clueless!

I did too! I made some terrible tags for one of my first swaps...U G L Y!!! But everyone was so nice!!

I agree, just find a swap that you want in your book, and then jump in. The hostesses here are just so great!!

You don't need to wait for a newbie swap - most of our swaps welcome newbies too and then we all jump on the newbie ones anyway

I think there is a resort swap coming up (not sure if it's open to newbies but it will say on the thread) and I am going to do one in March for restaurants (Eat around the world) which you are more than welcome to join. We are a supportive group of girls here.....so we'll help.

I just put tons of pictures onto one mat and put them on cute disney paper and called it a scrapbook. NOW, thanks to swapping and a very supportive group of ladies (who didn't openly make fun of my ridiculously huge first swap items), I can whip out a matted lyric, slide mount, tags in many shapes, even a paper piecing (imagine!) in a short amount of time and my pages (when I get around to actually scrapping) are fast to do and fabulous!

Whew - I'm tired now.....

You are welcome to join in the resort swap and it is an easy one in some ways since you will only be making one item for a resort instead of a few different elements. My first swap items were horrible too- I still have them but wouldn't use most of them.

perhaps we should have a Thread 101 for all the stuff we've made but hate - self nominations only!!

Wow! You guys should be in sales! Thank you all for the warm encouragement, I will do this! It might have to be closer to summer only because I have tons going on and I want to be able to give my best attention to the swap.

I would gladly accept the position of Swap Promoter! Of course, as in my days of supporting software sales, when it comes time to say whether its addictive and how we have tons of fun but rarely scrap anymore (but when we do it's fabulous), I will just hold up some shiny object and yell out "Look - over here - something shiny!!!!" and hope no one notices I didn't answer the question! Hey - I could be a politician!

 

[TPCShauna]

I am SO distracted by shiny objects. That would completely work for me!

 

[TinkerBean]

Hey!!

Okay you, you are in total luck. I am hostessing a swap that just finished sign ups.
