Final numbers for August swap(kraft)

ok, here are the final numbers for the kraft swap.......a couple of the swaps have gone to round robin style, where you only make 10 and you will get your own plus a random 9 back...due to the large number(more than 10 doing them).....that way we dont have to make a mountain of them...some people think 10 is their limit).....so here are the numbers

Embellies 10 (round robin style)
Atc's 10 (round robin style)
Stamped Images 10
Shipping Tags 11 (i thought with the shipping tags, since we are only stamping on the tags, we will stick with the 11 because they arent time consuming to make)

IMPORTANT INFO

Embellishments.....use Kraft to make these(kraft is a cardboard coloured cardstock, if you dont have it use a similar colour or even cardboard would be ok)...try and keep the size smallish due to postal reasons)

ATCs....again use kraft...these are little cards measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches(size is very important).....and try and make them double cardstock thickness so they arent too flimsy

Stamped Images.... stamp images on 6x4 inch size of kraft card...try and keep the size of the card that size because you dont know what size envelope the others are sending for return post

Shipping Tags.... stamp an image(larger images work best)on to shipping tags(if you cant get them, you can make them)

for all the swaps you are in, you make 1 per person in the swap...post to me by the END of AUGUST (email me if you are having trouble keeping the deadline)....remember to include a 1.20 stamped self addressed envelope for me to return them to you....
NOTE...if you are in all 4 swaps, please use a large envelope, because that many items dont fit in the smaller envelopes.....

thanks and have fun.....any questions, and dont hesitate to ask away

ATCs.....these are little cards 2.5in x 3.5 in.....make using KRAFT as the base

Stamped Images....stamp images on KRAFT card, about 6in x 4 in(again a small size for no reason other than its easier to post)..just stamp as many images on it as you can fit)

for all swaps you make 1 for everyone in the group....please include a 1.20 stamped self addressed envelope so once i have them all i divvy them up and you get 1 of everyones back......in the case if we get more than 10 in a particular swap, we go round robin style, where you just make 10 no matter how many are in it, and you get a random 10 back(so we dont end up having to make a tonne of them)

i'm receiving some gorgeous items for the GARDEN swap...

the stuff we are going to get back from this swap is amazing, such gorgeous stuff, once i receive a few more i will post up a pic.....
so far i have received

Mine
Mel's
Shazza's
Chloe's
Chris W's

on Monday the 26th i will post up the next theme(although the next one isnt really a theme)to get sign up started..............email me if you want to know now what it is

Oh and one other thing....next month i was thinking of adding a 'shipping tag' swap, where you buy or make shipping tags(they are 5cents from the newsagents or you could make them out of cardstock or manilla folders)......you just stamp and ink them. bigger stamps work better than smaller ones, you would make 1 for everyone in the group and you get 1 of everyones back......let me know your thoughts

Monday, July 12, 2010

Sign up closed for GARDEN theme swap....here are the final numbers

Sign up is now closed for the garden theme swap....................please make 1 for each person, post to me with at least a 1.20 return postage envelope. thanks and have fun, email me if you are having problems or have any questions....

10 Embellies (garden theme)
8 ATCs (garden theme)(make these 21/2inx31/2in size and preferably double cardstock thickness)
8 stamped images(no theme)(please make one 6inx4in piece of card with stamped images on it per person)
PLEASE, have these to me by the END of JULY please, thanks

cant wait to see the gorgeous stuff we will get with this theme

Monday, July 5, 2010

HEARTS are posted, and last days for GARDEN sign up

ive posted back the 'HEART' atc and embellies........sign up for the 'GARDEN' theme swap closes monday 12th July.....add your name to the list stipulating which swap you would like to do either ATC, EMBELLIES, STAMPED IMAGES OR ALL 3......the atc and embellie theme is GARDEN you can use anything found in the garden from trees, flowers, fences, birds bugs just about anything really.....the stamped images have no theme, you just stamp as many images as you can fit on a 6in x 4in piece of card make sure you do 1 for each in the group (final numbers will be put up on tuesday 13th july).....also remember to include a 1.20 stamped self addressed envelope so i can get them back to you

ok add your name if interested in the comments section, thanks and hope you are all are having fun with these swaps

1. Amanda(all 3 swaps)
2. Melissa(all 3 swaps)

7. Shazza (all 3 swaps)
8. Chris W (all 3 swaps)
9. Chloe (embellies and stamped images)
10. Karina (atc and embellies)

IMPORTANT NOTICE:.....it has come to my attention that some of us dont want to make a tonne of these swap items, so what i was thinking was........if by chance we get more than 10 members in any swap we will do it round robin style where by you would make 10 items no matter how many joined, but you wouldnt get 1 of everything back, you would get your own plus a random 9 back, that way if 20 sign up you would only have to make 10....how does that sound??

COULD I PLEASE HAVE EVERYONES OPINION

for the next swap i was thinking of having 2...... an embellishment swap, and also an ATC swap as well, you could put your name down for one or both swaps depending on what you wanted to do.................so what does everyone think about that???


thanks for your question rhonda....and atc swap is swapping artists trading cards, they are little cards 2.5x3.5 inches small, you decorate them to the required theme, do 1 for everyone thats signed up, you post to me and get 1 of everyones back, they are great little collectables, a few forums do them. Shazza suggested it, so thought i would gauge the interest before doing one on here(but decided to still have the embellie swap while the atc swap was happening)................

Monday, March 29, 2010

Welcome to my new blog

hi all and welcome.............the purpose of this blog is to have embellishment swaps(where we make enough embellies for each person in the group)you make them, post to me by the due date, i sort them out and you get back one from everyone..hope im making sense lol..... you need to include a self addressed envelope(1.10) for me to post them back to you..............you can email me if you need my postal address. for this though i will say that we will keep to australian residents(due to overseas mail taking longer and will hold it up)............... cool, so post a comment if you are interested in taking part, it will also be capped at 10 so first 10 in and it will close for the month.............this months swap will be a colour swap and it will be Orange, so everyone will make orange embellishments this time, the closing date for this will be when we have 10 participants or the 10th April, which ever comes first.......

i will start the list rolling
