Welcome to the Super Sports and More Swap!!
I am so excited to be hostessing this swap! Below are the general requirements for this swap. I would love to hear your suggestions for groups....
*Signups-February 10-13th* Sign ups will begin on February 10th at 9 am EST
There are two different types of groups listed:
-The first is for elements~you pick an element from the list below and make one for each member of your group. These are to be embellished two ways per the guidelines listed below.
-The second is for 2'' Altered letters~new to this swap! You will pick a letter or letters, and it will combine to spell out the entire word. Make your specified letter(s) 2 inches tall with a shadow/mat behind it. Embellish your letter(s) at least once to go along with the theme of the title. You may use patterned paper or solid colored cardstock. Please be creative and use colors that represent your group selection.
Guidelines:
1. Due date is April 30th, 2012. That is when I need to receive your package. Mail by date is April 25th, to make sure your package arrives to me on time.
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 the element list below. If you are doing altered letters, please let me know your first and second choices for letters.
3. Required: Please see the element list for the number of elements to make for EACH swapper.
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:
DisneyBarlans
Anne Barlan
Group A
Element Groups~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.
Altered Letter Groups~Please place all of your letters in a jewelry or snack size bag, then they all go into a QUART size bag. *Please make sure all of your baggies fit comfortably inside of a quirt size baggie. Sandwich bags are too big for individual letters.*
5. Mailing: You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after April 23rd [note this is before 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. Here are the current rates: Envelope-$5.15, Small Box-$5.35, Medium/Standard box $11.35, Large box-$15.45.
-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.)
-If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the .75, and a filled out slip. I will not mail the items back with delivery confirmation unless you include the .75 and the filled out DC form.
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!!

) but letters are easy to hide....errr..don't take up much room
I don't have much general/everyday stuff and those are the books I'm working on. I would love letters that spelled "on stage". Let me think about pages and what type of "kit", I'll let you know later.
I'll choose Lisa because she was just a bit quicker
