PROGRESS: DL/DCA Swap Elements & Pages - MAILED BACK, Photos Posted

Hope, I am going to say it again - those are AMAZING!!!

Just checking in, I have all my papers and designs. I have a big course project due this week (Thursday) and finals next week (I'm right there with you, Tigger1221). Then I have all the time to start on these! I actually can't wait to start - I've been really good with trying to finish my coursework and not just do swaps. :)
 
You know how you get hung up on one thing and when that one thing doesn't happen you obsess about it. Well that's where I am right now!!!
So the really cool victorian paper I had got in a "accident" with my dog and the cat and a fight insued in my crop room and the paper was the ultimate victim..... Needless to say the cat and chi slept outside that night (well for a good 4 hours ok)
So now I'm stuck about what to do for main street... I really want to make some coca-cola photo-mats I have some great vintage/Victorian coke paper since Coke is the "official" drink of Disney I thought it fitting.....
Opinions.... Anyone???
 
First, OMG Hope!:worship: If you made any extras Im first in line for trading! Stickles?! And I just want you to know that I collect WDC pieces and Small World are my faves! I am kicking myself for not being in every group!!

Second, DR your coke pieces sound good to me, I think Im in that group. And I may be aging myself again but do they still have Coke Corner or did they change the name decades ago and Im still just remembering it that way?
I will be doing a general title and probably photomats.

I now have 2 groups completely done, 3 are works in progress and 5 that I at least know where Im going with them. So I think Im on track.

I would be ok with that. I almost always have a coke in my hand. I think its a really cute and different idea!

LOL, okay! I am already making extra Fantasyland stuff for DR, so I will just add IASW stuff for you too. Besides Stickles, I realize I am in need of small pop-dots, so that could be something else to trade, or zig pens, or Xyron 250 refills. 8 pts for the paper piecings, and I've been figuring $1-$1.25 per point in stuff (based on regular price, not if you get it on sale or use a coupon). So if anyone else sees something they want, for a group they aren't in. However, if anyone is in Group N and wants something, I'd trade for your Group N pieces, since I am not in that group.

They still have Coke Refreshment Corner. So I think DR's idea sounds fine. Sorry about the pet rampage. When we get a house, we are going to get cats, and I have to remember to not leave stuff laying out, otherwise it could end up batted around to who knows where, or carried off to some secret unknown lair.

If you do Coke corner stuff, I actually know what photos I will use them with. In March 1995, I went to DL for Spring Break with 3 friends, one was my now DH. While we were waiting for the Lion King parade, I got a Cherry Coke. DH asked for a drink, and he didn't know it was Cherry and not regular, so he took a drink and then spurted it all out; and made a terrible face. I have some pictures from pre-parade to scrap, and then I can journal about the drink DH was unprepared for.
 
Thank you all for your feedback!!! I'm starting them tonight :)
Hugs to you all :hug:
 
Dang it! Im not in group N either! I thought for a moment that maybe I made something you didnt! But hey, Im fine with the other stuff! You just tell me what your in need of most!:goodvibes
 
Hi! I see we have a check in tomorrow so here I am!
I have about 5 groups done, 2 started and 3 driving me crazy! I'll check that in the morning to make sure but I'll be on time but may not mail until the very last minute this time!
 
I have a stupid question....
Ok so I was reading through the element list and I'm a bit confused and you think I've done enough of these swaps that I would know this stuff by now.

So if I made 1 Large Box and 2 small boxes would that fulfill my Obligation?
Or do I need to do more?

And for another group I was gonna do a Lisence plate is that 1 element or 1 of 2 to do? Like would I need to do a lisence plate and a topper? Or do I still need to do more? Like a Plate a large box and 2 small boxes?

Sorry I want to go at this full bore this week and I need to know what I need to do.
Thanks
 
Question about bagging pages:
Do we need to individually bag pages in 2 gallon bags or do I put all 4 in one bag and then you seperate them? Im wondering if Im going thru too many bags? I dont mind doing indi', just curious!

No individual bagging. Just write your name and DISname on the back, so we know whose is whose, when we use them. Normally, we put all the bags for each group in one 2-gallon bag, so if you were in 2 page groups you would have 2 bags. However, since there are so few page groups, if all your pages fit for both groups would fit in one bag, you can just use one and I will separate everything.

My element lists are slightly different than the rest of the hostesses, so it's always a good idea to read and re-read the lists as you are working on the swap. After reading comments made by scrappers made in the "using swap items" challenge, and seeing the pages people are making, lots of people like smaller boxes for photos, or large boxes for journaling. So I didn't think the old designations of "photo mat" and "journal box" quite worked anymore. And if a photo mat or large box was big enough for a 4x6, and you cut it in half that would be 3x4, so that is how I decided on the ratio of 1 lg box = 2 small boxes = .5 element.

So 1 lg box + 2 sm box = 1 element, and you would still need another element to get to 2 for this swap. Either one thing from the top half, or 2 things from the bottom.

License plates are one element, so you would need something else from the top list, or 2 things from the bottom list.

And yes, everyone CHECK-IN. I was thinking I had the check-in set for the 1st of the month, but instead it was a first day of a week. So I will just change it to May 1st.

I am a little concerned that our thread doesn't have as many updates/prototypes as some of the other swaps. I hope that means that people have been quietly working along. I know M_M and Tigger1221 are busy with finals, and will be hard at work in May. But just another reminder, I will have these on their way back before I leave for WDW in mid-June. I have a couple more prototypes of my own to post later.
 
Good morning ~

I have 8 groups completed now. I will take pics in a little while. I hope that I can get them uploaded. My laptop got a virus Saturday night, and so I'm working from the desktop, but it has no photo software on it at all. Also, I can't work on any of my groups until my laptop comes back from Staples, because they are designed in CDS, which I only have on my laptop. They told me that it will be done hopefully today... so I'm sure hoping it will. I'm so lost without it!!! I didn't know that I relied so heavily on it! :lmao: Anyway, once it comes back, I'm going to have to reload all my extra software back on it, so I'm hoping that I don't have a problem with the cds going back on it. I guess if I have a big problem with it... now would be the time to get SCAL!!!
 
Ohhhh ok I get it...Well Crap I have 1 sheet of coke paper left to do 1 more element. Hmmm You know I love my tags!!! I think that's gonna be a safe bet.
it's like a resturant menu for sides choose 1 from column A and 2 from column B.
The photo mats do look good though I used a victorian punch for the corners so you can slide in a pic or a peice of journaling in and still see the coke print.
 
OK... I was able to take pics and upload them, but the photo editing software I have on the desktop is junk, and so the pics are not great. But here they are anyways:

Here is the one for Redd Rockett's Pizza Port.

I'm sorta checking in I guess I thought I had more time for this swap I gotta hit this one hard this week to catch up Uggghhh I hardly ever do this but when I do I feel so rushed. I didn't realize like 3 swaps were all due within a week of eachother.
 
Good luck D R!
I did a double check and am down to 4 groups!:yay:

I have DL PArk, Churros, Drive'em Buggies and Columbia left to do and churros is started. I will try to post pics of the other things later.
 
Great pieces kkbeaton!

I am also feeling the pressure of the due date...it's the ideas that I am having problems with...and then the paper selection.

Here are a few more of my groups. Unfortunately, only one of the 3 is done and bagged. I ran out of paper for the Sun Wheel Title and am waiting to see if M's put Bazzill 2/$1 again, and this is my prototype Heimlich, I still have to make the actual ones for the swap.
