THIS IS AN INTEREST/ INFORMATION POST ONLY_ NOT A SIGN UP. Read the directions and let me know if we need to add something!
Do we want to add a title requirement to the element only groups?
This is an Epcot Element and Page Park Swap that includes all pavilions in the World Showcase and Future World as well as any extras such as Illuminations.
Sign Up April 29th- I will post when I arrive home- around 4:15 pm EST
Mail Date is July 8th.
Due date is July 15th (that is when I need to receive your package. I will wait one week to return them just in case someones doesnt arrive on schedule). If I get them earlier I'll send them out earlier!
1. Choose an open theme (Mexico, Living Seas, Illuminations ~ anything at Epcot).
2. Select two elements.
3. PM me with your DIS name, name and address - only if I have not swapped with you before.
4. Post your status on the Progress thread - which will be posted after the slots are filled.
5. Check the progress thread for your status - it will be updated with ship info and received info.
6. Sign the back of your completed pages and/ or elements with your name and DIS name. Be sure to use an acid free pen. Place ALL of your 12x12 completed layouts and elements for a specific group in a 2 gallon Ziploc bag (available at grocery stores/Wal-Mart with the other sizes). If you are in multiple groups, each group should be in their own bag. Label the outside of each bag (by hand or with an adhesive label) with your name and DIS name.
7. PM me 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.
8. HAVE FUN!!

A Final Note: This swap is a huge commitment of time and money for everyone involved as it takes a significant amount of both to create all of the pages and elements. Having said that, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not sign up for more than you can handle. It is not fair to me or the other participants to expend the time and money to make something for someone who does not reciprocate. We all want everyone to enjoy swapping but we also want you to think about what you are getting into when you sign up.
Last but not least, HAVE FUN! I know we all stress about our work and that is OK. The important thing to remember is that you just need to make something you would be proud to have in your own albums and everyone will love it. If you get stumped or have a question, anyone on here would be happy to help; all you have to do is ask.
