Scrapping with SWAP items

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Mazda, great pages!!!

Nan, can't wait to see your pages!

So even though my goal in 2011 was to actually scrap, I failed miserably at that in January and February. I thought I was going to have to add March to that list, but I picked up my photos yesterday, and got 7 pages done today.

Living with the Land Title & Quote by Yoda's Mom. Farmer Mickey, by 123SA, I think.

Norway: I'm not sure who made any of this, but I think there is stuff from at least 3 different people. The flag, was a tag, but I cut it down to just the flag. But the Title, flag, Boat, and mats were all swap pieces.

The next two are from the Altered letters groups from last year's Resort Swap, so many people were involved in the making. On the Polynesian page, I am reprinting one of the photos larger to fit on the top of the left page, but I figured I'd show off the letters even though that one photo is wrong. The quote on the Polynesian page, and the squares were from an earlier Resort Swap, but I'm not sure who, because I don't keep my baggies with the names attached.

I just love how the letters turned out. Exactly, what I wanted for pictures of random things around the resort. I may add some more photos to the pages, because I think I have more random pics, but when you are printing you never know how much space you are going to end up having to work with. I may use smaller pics (2" or smaller), so I might just print them at home.

Great job Hope! I'm so glad you were able to break out of the cycle and get your scrapping done! Did you finish organizing your pins? You are missed here in our swaps! I absolutely LOVE the pages you made!!!!!!!! I have those 2 inch letters for Contemporary and Polynesian...so I'm excited to see how someone used them on the page layouts. The paper piecings of Farmer Mickey and the Norway boat are TDF!! I love Living with the Land, but I never take pictures of it...I will next time though. thanks so much for sharing!

Great job on the pages Nan!!! I especially love that Daughter page. Very pretty!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Thank you.. that is one of my favorite pages!

 

[New England Eeyore]

Great pages, everyone!

Hope - some of that Norway page is mine - title, mats, and maybe the flag tag. Very old - hard to remember exactly what I did!

I did 70 pages at a 3-day crop this weekend, and most pages used swap items - I'll try to take pictures soon.

 

[mycutiepatooties]

Great job Nan! I love the Spooky page, and the daughter page. Such nice design on your layouts!

 

[MazdaUK]

Few more pages I've done - I am now literally overflowing with swap pieces I've got a priority box full of "themed" pieces and another with colour swap pieces and both are full to bursting Need to go out and take pictures....

Set I made for a colour swap plus SS flowers

AWM for School swap (?) last year

I've lost the label but I think it was Arizona Rita for the vacation swap plus flower swap flowers and SS brads

Mazda, great job on your pages. I love that giant sea turtle in the photo!!

I can't believe that you have boxes of swap stuff!!! You are always so good at using it. You're falling behind!!!!

 

[MazdaUK]

I love the turtle too Its right facing the North Sea at Nieuwport, Belgium. and its HUGE!

I'm almost "caught up" - the READ page was March 1

I just don't take enough photos, I guess, as I'm scared of being thought a weirdo I'm taking DS(11) to buy Easter eggs tomorrow so maybe I'll have the courage to take photos in the supermarket You have to remember even though we have Asda (part of WalMart) we don't have th "people of Walmart" tradition Maybe I should start "People of Morrisons"

 

[mycutiepatooties]

Nice job on your pages! You are such an inspiration because you are so productive!

 

[MazdaUK]

Thank you!

I failed to take pics in the supermarket - mostly because it was full of old ladies doddering about choosing eggs for their grandchildren

Great pages

Mazda--I have the opposite problem; I take and print too many pictures and my books are nowhere near caught up. I would love to be totally caught up

 

[MazdaUK]

I'm only caught up in the sense I've done everything since my kids were born - I've not touched my childhood at all
