School Swap - CLOSED & COMPLETE

[123SA]

As long as your tag is BIGGER than 2x3, one is okay. If it is 2x3 you need two of them.
I think the individual letters on squares would work for 123SA's swap, but not this one.

Wait -- a topper wasn't required, so wouldn't the squares just count as squares? they would still have be embellished two ways though -- so the letters and ink or the squares embossed and then letters.


Uh-oh I better go check the requirements again. I did not make toppers.

 

[123SA]

I am such a dope.

estherhead -- the answer to letters on squares is definitely yes, as long as it is embellished twice.

Want to know why I am so sure? Because I did letters on squares and I asked DisneyIsTerrific before I did them.

See, too many swaps at once. Yours requires a title. Not this one.

Yes, 123SA is correct. You can do letters on squares as long as they are embellished twice - inked & brads, stickles & primas, etc.

I get them. So I'm really liking the idea.

 

[estherhead]

OK, so I need an 8x2 rectangle with the letters on it? Darn it. What if I make the word SNACK and the word TIME on different rectangles or on a square instead of a length wise rectangle. Sorry but I already cut the very cute negative letters in tiles & they are 1" squares. Which means I need at least 10 inches plus I was really hoping to embellish with apples and these adorable flowers I just bought.

Sorry to make this so complicated. That's what ya'll get for being so welcoming to newbies!

Hmmm, I like the idea of the two different rectangles. With the apples and flowers. That would make for some more options with arrangments on the layout.

LOL! Thanks for the quick reply. I will make sure that this will be good for both 8x8 pages and 12x12 and is cute. And says Snack Time. Sheesh. Maybe if I had waited a second for a reply I wouldn't be in such a predicament. And maybe if my Compaq computer wasn't broken so I had access to my files and didn't have to use this stupid Mac of Dh's...

I have a lot against me today. But I did have one huge blessing. My sweet baby fell asleep and took a 2 hour nap! It was sweet bliss in my scrapbooking room. Sweet bliss.

I finished up mine today- just need to wait for the stickles to dry. I will be mailing this week when I head to the Post Office- probably Wednesday.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine are done & bagged up too.
I'm just waiting until DisneyIsTerrific is back.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

AWM and 123SA, thank you for answering questions while I was gone. We got back just a little while ago so if you were waiting for me to get back before mailing, then mail away!!!!!

Mail call: ArizonaRita and BearBear, I got your packages when I got home tonight. Everything looks great! Thanks!!! AR, now I get your comment on the boxers! Thank you.

Esther, I think the Snack Time on the 2 rectangles sounds great and like AWM said, it'll give us more layout options.

Okiedokie. I did the first one to see how it would look and I like it. At first I didn't but I think that is because I had my heart set on the original concept. Now that I've had time to ponder it, I think it might look better than the original concept. It is so apple-y I had to come up and have some apple dippers from Aldi!

I'm glad it worked! As AWM and 123SA said, the individual letters on squares would have been okay as long as you embellished them 2 ways, but the 2 rectangles sounds cute.

I'll let you know when it arrives!

 

[MinnieGarden]

I'm postal as of tomorrow!

 

[Mickster]

Well, it is 3:47 right now and we are ready to go...I don't have this swap done, but I'll get it done when we get back. I hope I won't be too late...

Mickster, good luck in the marathon. Let me know if you need an angel for your spots or if you think you'll be okay getting them done.

I've finished 2 groups!!!! I'll work on the others today. For the high school graduation group, I decided to do something other than the normal caps and gowns. I hope that's okay with everyone. I did the pieces in the theme of Dr. Seuss's Oh the Places You Will Go. I really like them and DS and DH gave them a thumbs up too so hopefully you'll like them as well.

How's everyone else doing?

 

[estherhead]

I'm done! Yippee! Just heads up, because I had all those squares cut for the individual title squares I just threw them in the baggies. I also threw in a button that matched. I just thought everyone should have them because they look right together.

Also, I have to tell you a funny story. I made these really cute apples from Doodlecharms. I had them all done, two per title. But when I went to stick them on, I was missing two. I looked everywhere. Missing two.

Finally, I look over at the baby and she has something in her mouth. My apples! She had eaten the fake little paper apples. So funny. Don't worry, I made two more so no one got bonus slobber in their swap items.

That is so funny! That happened to me once with my daughter, hahaha. You gotta love them thought.

 

[New England Eeyore]

I still have one more group to finish but I plan to do that this weekend. I've been working on too many things at the same time - got to start closing things out.

My puppy does that too! Tonight he ate part of my Christmas Stocking- I will have to take it to my mom and see if she can fix it somehow. I can't wait till he stops teething.
