Happy New Year Ladies!!!
It's is time for another fun swap! In light of the New Year - I wanted to do something different. Tags are great - but this time we are swapping...MINI ALBUMS!! Now don't get all intimidated on me, lol! This mini album is SUPER EASY and SUPER FUN!
Check out my girl Laura over at followingthepapertrail on you tube. She has done an excellent job of explaining her latest mini creation! This is what we'll be swaping. Here is the link: (you may have to copy and paste)
http://www.youtube.com/user/FollowThePaperTrail#p/u/1/0ul3mD2-FbA
THE KICKER: Since the majority of us made resolutions to use our scraps - I thought this would be a great solution. We can ONLY use G45 paper for making the mini album AND the tag inserts!! So bring out your stash and get to scrappin'! Use whatever you want on the chipboard covers to decorate (it still has to look nice, lol!).
THE BASICS: You have to make 5 mini albums using G45 paper - you can make them all different or all the same if you have a lot of the same paper. You can mix and match between paper collections. (of course you'll want to make sure it coordinates) You just need to MAKE AND SEND 5 MINI ALBUMS. You in turn, will receive 5 mini albums back from 5 different people. Isn't this a cool way to use up all your "scraps"? I am super excited to do this swap!
MORE BASICS: PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT HERE IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDY. This is the only place I'm looking for the players. I will arrange groups according to sign ups - 5 people per group. Each person in the group will each do 5 G45 mini's. I will pick one mini from each person in another group to send back to you. Yay! How fun is that? The official swap starts on January 12th - DUE TO ME BY Feburary 15th!!! Plenty of time to work on this, huh?
THE CHALLENGE: Use a flower on the cover! (Super easy, huh?) It can be a homemade one, a flat one, or a 3D one.. Either way - a flower!!
SHIPPING INFO: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!! Please send your mini albums - packaged carefully (so they won't squish during shipping) WITH a SELF ADDRESSED return envelope AND either $5 in cash OR postage EQUALING $5. Please DO NOT send the same amount it cost you to send it to me. The mini's that are returned may be heavier than the ones you sent.
ENDING: I hope that you guys will decide to play with me! It is a super easy way to use your scraps, participate in a swap to see others creations and get to know people on the YT! I can't wait to see how you mix and match G45 papers! Happy Scrapin'!!

October/November Tag swap **Closed**
HELLO LADIES!!
Welcome to another month of tag swapping!! I am super excited - can you tell?? Let me just say this, in light of the Halloween season I was going to do a Halloween theme. I decided against it - since everybody else was doing it. So this month's theme will be.....
VINTAGE LOVE/ROMANCE - OPTIONAL CHALLANGE IS TO USE GLIMMER MIST!!
This would be the chance to break out the vintage images, flowers, bling, and all the "valentine" themed stuff. This swap may seem a bit MAY/DECEMBER ..but for some reason the fall reminds me of love. The fresh breeze, the beautiful autumn leaves and the sounds of fall just do that.
Anyway, enough blabbing aboout it - LET'S GET TO IT!! Your tag must include a vintage image - whether it's printed, pasted, hanging or whatever - it just must be incorporated in the tag somehow. If you are participating in the optional challenge - use glimmer mist (or another brand)on the front, the back, on your image or even on your blog info - just use it somewhere. Cool?
For those people that have participated in the last swap, the shipping rules have changed - AGAIN. Make sure you see the details before shipping.
* EMAIL ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!! PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE HERE!! (this is because I need a return email for your for updates)
* The email address is scrapdaworld@yahoo.com.
* I will follow up with the group list and number of tags you will have to make (no more than 8 per group)
* Signups close on October 15th, 2010 - Tags due to me by November 15th, 2010
*Tag shape is your choice.
*Tag size must at least be standard size 4 3/4 " x 2 3/8 "
*Make all of the tags as identical as possible
*Tags must include a vintage image and if you're participating in the optional challange - glimmer mist of some kind
*Include your blog/url on the back of your creations - so we can identify whose work it is
*Please back your work with heavy/sturdy cardstock or chipboard
MAILING INSTRUCTIONS:
*Send your work in a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) with a minimum of $4.95 in postage. This could be in the from of cash, stamps or prepaid labels. Either is fine. I am sending priority back to you. I am finding that if you shipped a lighter tag and received heavier ones, I am having to pay all the balances (which adds up).
*All packages must be in my hands no later than..NOVEMBER 15TH.. If you are having a problem with the deadline PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. This is a commitment - others are counting on you!
*Ship your tags in a plastic bag to prevent water damage

Tag Swap - July/August
Hello Ladies! Ok here at the details for the July/August tag swap. It will be a little different. We will not have a specific theme! There, I said it. Instead of picking a theme - we will explore who we are as a paper artist. If someone walked up to you and asked you what style of tag art do your prefer, what would you say? Would it be vintage, shabby chic, dimensional, distressed, a mixture of all or something else? Would you use tin, metals, rock candy, stickles or all of them?
I am calling all ladies (well, not all - about 30 or so) to a "my style" tag swap! This should be fun and interesting! The first swap that I hosted (locally) I tried this-everyone enjoyed it. There were so many different styles and techniques done on each of the tags. This is good for newbies and experienced tag makers. Some may teach, some may learn - all will inspire! Plus, it has no boundaries of a theme - so you're free to do whatever makes your heart happy!
The requirements are as follows:
*Sign ups are open until July 14th or when all the spots are filled (whichever is first)
*Tags must be shipped back to me by the August 15th - I will have them back to you shortly after
*Email me with your interest in joining the swap - I will confirm your spot via email the address is scrapdaworld@yahoo.com
*Once confirmed - I will follow up with the group list and number of tags you will have to make (no more than 8 per group)
*Tag shape is artists' choice
*Tag size must at least be standard size 4 3/4 " x 2 3/8 "
*Make all of the tags as identical as possible
*Tags must include AT LEAST one embellishment (charm, flower, button etc.)
*Include your blog/url on the back of your creations - so we can identify whose work it is
*Please back your work with heavy/sturdy cardstock or chipboard
MAILING INSTRUCTIONS:
*Send your work in a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) with AT LEAST the same amount of postage it took to mail it. (at this time - only U.S. swappers)
*All packages must be in my hands no later than...August 15th.. If you are having a problem with the deadline please let me know as soon as possible
*Ship your tags in a plastic bag to prevent water damage
Let me know if you have any questions. I am excited to see what everyone comes up with!!
