Returning- Spring Quarter for Year Round Swap - Due April 5

[SusieStone]

The idea this time is for it to be ongoing during the year so by the end of the year, there will be enought to complete an album.

Due April 5 will a mail by date of March 29.


These kits were awesome the last go round.

These kits will consist of 1 topper/title and 2 elements of your choice. See list for more details. Each item will need to be embellished a minimum of 2 different ways.

There will be 5 people per group. The total groups will depend on enthusiasm.


NO hand written lettering or flat stickers on ANY items. Please use computer fonts, rub-ons, stickers or stamps.

NOTE: Embellished means using brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon/fiber, 3D stickers (matted stickers/cliparts are okay too) or embossing (dry/heat).

Ok - here are the elements to choose from (if you have another idea for an element, let me know and I will add it).

TOPPER - The size and orientation is up to you. Please do not make it over 8 inches. You may cut letters out to spell a title but make sure the letters are at least 1 1/4 inches and have a shadow matted behind each letter. If you choose to cut out a title, place letters in a separate baggie and let us know what they spell.


Element Selection:
- Journaling Box: 1PP at least a 3x3 writing area, double matted and embellished with actual journal area placed on top of the two mats
- Tag: 1 PP for medium or large tags, 2 pp for 2x3 tags, double matted and embellished, include either ribbon/fiber or eyelet/brad in the hole. may include both....the fiber and or eyelet does not count as part of the 2 embellishments.

I have not even looked at what paper I have for this swap, but I have printed out the information.

 

[rlovew]

I have paper and embellishments but I haven't started on figuring out what I am doing yet.

[123SA]

Starting the bday group as soon as I get the kiddies to bed. 15minutes left for the 5yr old and 345 minutes for 8 yr old


EDIT: No way to 345 minutes! 45 minutes.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I have my paper, and I've made out my brad order--gonna send that in tomorrow night. I intended to start on all of my swaps tonight, but we ended up going out to eat, so that's been pushed to tomorrow night!

 

[MazdaUK]

I have no idea what I will do yet I'll have a look when we're back from vacation

 

[123SA]

Finished bday group. Waiting on supplies for the valentines group.

 

[Michellepooh]

I'm so bummed I missed out on signups for this one. Please keep me in mind as an angel if needed.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Michelle, you can have my spot. I haven't even looked at my stuff yet, but I know would have to purchase some embellishments. If you would like to save my wallet some dough, that would be great.

 

[Michellepooh]

Awww... thanks AWM. Only if you really don't want it. I would feel really bad taking it away from you.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Nah, don't feel like that. I certainly wouldn't offer it if I was just going to take it away.

Thanks. Now I can concentrate on the full page swap.

 

[Michellepooh]

Thank you soooooo much, AWM! I had been so busy getting ready to go away that I forgot to ask Susie to save a spot for me.

 

[SusieStone]

I have it changed.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Susie!!

I'm completely blocked on this one How can it be so hard to think of ideas for birthday pages when I've done so many Maybe its the non-specific getting in the way.

OK ladies, what would you like here - neutral or jazzy colours? They're definitely going to be unisex!

I don't have a preference

 

[SusieStone]

I've made my list to go pick some things up while Stone is at Sylvan this AM.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I got my brads ordered for Easter today!

 

[Mickster]

I haven't started on this one at all, I don't think. Maybe I have paper. It is on the list though.

I am not sure what jazzy colours are, but they sound fun!
