Non Disney ABC swap

[KatDisney]

Ahhh adventuring from a Disney swap! This is the Non Disney ABC swap. This swap will be open to 14 people. 13 will do 2 letters of the Alphabet and one person will cut out 14 sets of the Alphabet. When you sign up please post 2 ideas for each letter. Do NOT pick the letter you want to create just yet. I'd like to have the final draft of letter "ideas" by Sunday afternoon, they Sunday evening we can vote When the final "topic" is chosen for each letter then you will be able to pick your letters. Even though this is non Disney, we can have a couple letters that are Disney if you want

For each letter we will do a Topper, Journal box and a your choice. Page size will be for an 8x8 album. When we pick our letters I'd also like you to post what your "choice element" is going to be.

Example:

[KatDisney]

Is there any interest in this swap?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Gosh I hope so. I don't think I could 13 letters myself.
Well, maybe I could if I only have to make them twice.

 

[YodasMom]

Not having children, I think my main concern is that there are many topics in this one that I could not use. When is the due date?

 

[KatDisney]

April 20th was the due date. Should I convert to a disney related theme then? I mean I really don't care I really enjoy doing the abc's myself. They make great gifts.

 

[hopemax]

Ditto on the no kids/topic problems. Plus, I am having to limit my swaps until June/Julyish so I am only signing up for swaps that I don't have yet (mainly WDW non-MK swaps) and can use in my current scrapping project. If it was in the latter part of the year I could sign up "just because."

 

[rlovew]

I don't have children either. I could go for a set if they aren't child specific.

Rebecca

 

[YodasMom]

I agree with Hope's and Rebecca's posts.......If they were non-child related, then non-Disney would be fine. Also, later in the year for a larger swap like this would be better for me, or even later in the spring. March and April are really busy right now.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Okay, we can't do a Disney ABC because there is one coming up in May.
What about we assign each letter a color. Not every letter corresponds to a color name, but we can come close. Then it won't matter if it is for child, cat, or old coot.

 

[rlovew]

A color would work for me. I'll start trying to think of colors for each

A- Apricot
B- Brown, Blue
C-
D-
E- Eggplant, Eggshell
F-
G- Green
H-
I- Indigo
J-
K-
L- lime
M- mint
N-
O- orange
P- pink, purple
Q-
R- red
S- sage
T-
U-
V- violet
W-
X-
Y- yelow
Z-

Of course we could also do other general things like household things and community places

Ooo cool color choices. My box of crayons only has 48 colors.

Any topper suggestions?

 

[YodasMom]

Any topper suggestions?

Ugh, ugh! Can't think of any! But, I sure had fun naming my colors and ABC's tonight! Ha!!

 

[KatDisney]

Oh I like the color idea then it can be used for anything!

 

[YodasMom]

What can we do for the topper. The only thing I can think of is using our own alphabet dies when we get them back.

I'd like to but its really busy at work at the moment, and I don't think I could make more than 2 or 3 letters. No ideasl for toppers!

 

[rlovew]

If we go with a color theme I think we will have to use our own words when we get them back. Just a big first letter on the topper and the rest left for each of us to fill in on our own. I don't think I would want the topper to say the color.
