Newbies welcome, but, I will limit you to two groups.
I will pm you with a reminder if you forget to check in. After 48 hours with no response I will request angels for your spots. If you are going on vacation or will be out of town, please check in early. Please do not sign up for more than you can handle. If you need an angel, please ask for one as soon as possible.
After sign-ups, please pm me your name, DIS name, mailing address, email address and phone number when you sign up (I will only use these in an emergency).
This is an element only swap.

2 journal boxes, total of 3 layers, minimum writing space 3x3, embellished
2 tags (or 1 large taggreater than 2x3), 2 layers, something in the hole and embellished

2 slide mounts -- embellished
Altered CD
3 altered paper clips
1 shaker box
1 library pocket and tag. Tag must be 2 layers with something in the hole, pocket must be embellished
1 license plate
3 shapes(squares, circles, stars, flowers etc) 2 layers, embellished
1 ATC
4 inchies
Signage/Bookmark: 1PP 2x6, double matted and embellished
Song/Lyric/Poem: 1PP, 3 layers in total and embellished. Min size 3x4, shapes are welcome
Altered letter: matted at least 4 inches
You can mix and match -- 1 tag and box, 1 photomat and box, 1 tag and 2 squares or shapes, etc.
******Please let me know if you have an idea not listed! We are open to new things.
Suggestions for embellishments include:
Die cuts, stickers, stickles, flock, ink, chalk, brads, charms, flowers, eyelets, ribbon/fiber, sewing, tearing, embossing, stamping, clipart, additional layers of paper beyond double mats (if it would look weird trying to fit in another embellishment, specialty paper (such as embossed, glitter, bling).
Groups L-O are altered letter only groups. You will make the first letter/number of the word only. Like, if you choose First Grade, you will do make a "1" and if you choose Preschool, you will make the P. Your letter/number is to be 4 inches, matted, and embellished at least once. You may use patterned and/or solid colored paper. Please be creative
For Groups P-Q, you will make one 2 inch letter of the word listed. Make your letter 2 inches, matted, and embellished at least once. Your top letter is cut at 2 inches and the mat can be the shadow. Use paper, embellishments, colors that fit the theme of the word. Like for PARTY which is a Halloween theme, you wouldn't use birthday party hats on it, but you might use purple paper and spiders. You may use patterned and/or solid colored paper. Please be creative.
Packaging: Place your completed elements in a Ziploc bag THAT FITS YOUR ELEMENTS (the bag MUST close) with your DISname, name and group letter. Do not address your items to a particular swapper. (That makes it harder for me to sort!) Your label should look like this

Group A
Take all of your baggies for a group and place them in GALLON size (or larger) bag, (for Groups L-Q, you may use a quart size bag) and label with the same. Please use the gallon bag (or larger) -- your items may fit in a smaller bag, but the items you receive back might not.
Please include a return address label -- either a USPS priority mail label that you have addressed, or the little ones you would put on envelope. (This cuts down on errors.)
Mailing: You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after April 10. Then, you must mail Priority WITH Delivery Confirmation. * I prefer to send to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes from the USPS. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. The rates are: Envelope or Small Box (9x6x2) - $5.20, Medium/Standard box $10.95, Large - $14.95. PLEASE NOTE THE RECENT INCREASE IN SHIPPING RATES. If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the $.70, and a filled out slip. I will not mail the items back with delivery confirmation unless you include the $.70. And I am not responsible to for postal errors. Also, please include a label (can be the priority label completed with your info or a small address label) for me to use to return your items to you.
DO NOT include clik-it/ship-it postage. I will not be able to use it since it is only good on the day it was printed, and from the location it was printed.
