Super Sports and More Swap
1. Due date is May 5, 2011. That is when I need to receive your package. Mail by date is April 28, 2011, to make sure your package arrives to me.
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).
2. You pick your group and the element you will doing in that group. Please use element list for wild card picks
3. Required: Please see the element list for the number of elements to make for EACH swapper.
Because it will be single elements, I will be asking for embellishment two way. We've not had that requirement in a long time. It simply means that you pick two ways from the list of standard embellishing. - Brads & extra layer - inking and ribbon - embossed paper and primas - die cut and fiber - those are just examples, you are free to mix it up any way you like. Paper Piecings, shapes/die cuts are excluded from this. ATC cards already require 3 way so they too are excluded.
4. Packaging: A. Place your completed elements in a Ziploc bag THAT FITS YOUR ELEMENTS or page 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

B. Take all of your baggies for a group and place them in GALLON size (or larger) 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.)
5. Mailing: You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after April 28 [note this is B4 the mail by date]. Then, you must mail Priority WITH Delivery Confirmation. I prefer to send back to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. DO NOT include click-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.
6. If you havent swapped with me before, I am limiting you to TWO groups only. If you have problems and need to drop out or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes), let me know so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help if needed.
7. Please be mindful of your time management. Do NOT sign up for more than you can handle.
8. Most importantly HAVE FUN!! I know we all get worried about our stuff sometimes. I know everything will be GREAT! Just make something you would be proud to have in your own albums, and everyone will love it!!
