POSTAL ACTIVE Pet Swap Progress

[missesdisney]

Snuck in enough time to get to this today and I just have one more embellishment and then my group is done!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Send it when you are done. I still have shelf ready for just swap items.

Remember - I swap when they all get here. If they are way early, you will get them back way early.

She is fawn - her name is Lacey. She came to us from Pug Rescue of New England last May after I lost my beloved pug Violet...Check out my blog for pics. Some day I'll have a little black goodvibes I pugs

Want mine??? JK I love my little Shadow. He's dumb as a bag of rocks, but who can't love that smooshed face that turns sideways when you say his name? I love the rachet head they have. Plus the pugtona when he's outside running. It cracks me up how something with such short legs can run SO fast..

Let's my pug babies together.

Ok I did these and I like them but I'm not sure if I should do more with the squares. I went the generic approach and I may have enough paper to do another piece too since it's just one small group, but not certain.

The letters on the squares are letter and shadow cut. The first layer is paper from the oriental stack and the back is metallic bronze. Same paper on the lyric. Do those of you in the dog element group think the letterrs need something else? the first mat is graduated colors so I didn't ink or anything. I could do brads on them but then it might not look right - need advice!

thanks

Even though it is graduated colors - I think inking the top layer on squares would be the right thing to do or add the brad to all of them. Even though it isn't the same paper being inked, it would still tie the squares into the lyrics better. The lyrics look good the way they are.

And that is why I asked

I use the catseye ink pad - any clue as to how to hit the one layer and not the other without dismantling? Or I can just dismantle if needed. I don't have enough swirly brads in those colors for all of them I don't think so ink would be the way to go to tie it together. Thanks for the input!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

With the larger pieces, I've bent back the bottom layer to get a the top layer, but it doesn't crease the bottom layer when it is as big as a mat. I don't know if you can do that with the squares and it will depend upon on stuck it together. If you used the splints or dots, there should be wiggle room. But it you used the quick dry right by the edge or xryoned it, it won't work.

I plan on knocking these out one night next week. I would love to be able to mail this with the sports and more swap but we'll see how that goes.....

 

[danilynn19]

I'm throwing all sorts of ideas around in my head. Would it be bad if I asked the dogs names in the elements?

Nope, not bad. But you may wish to PM everyone in that group. Not everyone reads the status thread. Some only check in on the right days.

I think it would make it nice and personalized. Mine is named Sultan.

Thanks guys I got everyone! I am going to an all day scrap on Saturday so hopefully I will get them done and maybe mailed out. Now I made this mistake in my last swap I didn't realize everything had to be the same.... ....does every item have to be the same? Besides the names or dog types or can we just do whatever comes to fancy?

I am more relaxed in this requirement that some. Some swaps are conducive to acceptable variety and some are not. This one is. The surprise swap was. Most park swaps are not. Those should be Xnumber of the same thing. So will the Super Sports and More swaps. Those should be as close to the same as possible.

As long as each grouping you make has the same quality, as long as you feel good to get back what you yourself made, if you are proud to put your name on it - I'm good.

Means I have to take more photos. But this is a small swap. It'll be okay.

Awesome!! I will make sure everyone gets the samething, but a little bit different.

 

[SusieStone]

I forgot all about this one until bed last night. I am working on this today.

 

[missesdisney]

I'm done and bagged and just have to mail it - I inked the edges of my squares so they fit more with the lyric. I'll get it out this week sometime.
