DB-Bazzill/Patteren Paper Epcot Swap (UPdate & early 7 MONTH REMINDER)

[ImaDizneyNut]

IMPORTANT NOTE
The due date is a firm one. I will be leaving for Disney on Dec 2. I must have all of the items on or before the due date November 30 so they can be mailed on December 1st. IF all items are not here by the due date I will send them out when I return December 11.


You may use ANY color Bazzill paper you want (just let me know what you used so I can list them)
You may accent with patteren paper if you like.
You must have something that represents the country in the kit other than the topper. EXAMPLES: If you are doing France you can use the Effiel Tower, Italy you can use Leaning Tower of Pisa, America you can use Uncle Sam. Those are examples: You may add ANYTHING that represents the country. I just don't want the topper to say France and that is it. I want to incorporate something else besides the topper to show what the kit was about just incase you are doing a 2 or 3 page spread. Think of it this way, if you didn't have the topper how would you know it was a France layout or an Italy layout you had in front of you.

Here is a link to show what all the flags look like

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
I know there are ALOT of rules but when I'm in the mood to swap I rather know everything while I'm in the mood. I hate having to email hostesses then waiting for a reply on something. By the time she gets back to me who knows what type of mood I will be in. If you would like to see the results of a swap that I just hosted I will send you a link (as soon as I receive the last 2 packages within a day or 2 I'll post the link). You can see how everything blends together.


NITTY GRITTY
The Nitty Gritty should answer any questions on any spot you would like.

1. NO hand written lettering on ANY items. I may think my handwriting is beautiful (which it's NOT LOL) but you may think its horrid!

2. Topper Spot: Topper must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc).

3. Photo Mat Spots: Picture area must be NO smaller than 4 x 6. Must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc).

4. Journal Box or Library Pocket Spot: Journal Box the area for writing should be NO smaller than 3 x 4. It can be BIGGER if you would like. It also can be vertical or horizontal. Journal Box must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc). Library Pocket must include the card for journaling.

5. 4 Deco Squares Spot or 2 Embellished Slide Mounts: Squares can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal. Must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc). Be CREATIVE: Here are some ideas~~ (http://www.webshots.com/search?new=...ds=deco+squares). Embellished Slide Mounts be creative

6. Song Lyric/Poem Spots or Quote about the country: Song Lyric/Poem/Quote area must be NO smaller than 2 ½ x 3 ½. It also can be vertical or horizontal. Must be matted. MUST also be embellished in some way (i.e. brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, embossing, etc).

7. Shaker Box or Paper Piecing Spot: Be Creative. But only use Bazzill Cardshock on either item.

Now to the Mailing Details:

1. Place your items a baggie, you will end up with 1 baggie per kit (you will end up with 11 baggies). Please DO NOT label your item on its back. Some people don't like that. Since some of us put items on pictures we would like to make sure the photo stays safe. If you are from a different country please send the proper amount. No item will be returned without enough postage. I will hold it until postage is correct.

2. Label each baggie with your name, screen name & kit name.

3. Since you are getting 11 full kits back. The USPS has a Priority Mail Flat Rate Box; Any weight, any state, for $8.10. This box is large enough to get all your items back to you safely and quickly. It also takes the guesswork out of shipping rate.

PLEASE SEND AN ADDRESS LABEL SO PACKAGE CAN BE RETURNED. THANKS

4. Mail your packages to:


5. Please email me once your items have been mailed so that I can make sure I'm here for them.

Thank you for joining. I can't wait to see all the kits together.

Tracy

Hi Tracey~

Just to confirm what you told me before, we are not required to use the country's flag colors as our Bazzill paper colors, correct? (As long as there is the country's flag somewhere in the layout as an embellishment).

The flag colors of my country just don't seem to fit the themes I am doing with my elements for the most part.

Your swap elements are beautiful!

Thanks!

correct you don't have to use the country flags. You don't even have to use the flag. as long as you something the represents the country I choose to use the great wall of china on my library pockets. the reason for this is just in case you are doing a 2-3 page spread you have something on the other page to show what you are talking about
if you check the my post above you can see what i've done. I didn't even use pattern paper.

 

[PixieDust32]

Good job Tracy.

How did you make the great wall? And did you stamped the letters?

Thanks!

 

[ImaDizneyNut]

Good job Tracy.

Thanks!

thank you
the great wall of china is a jolee 3D sticker
and the chinese letters Dreams Do Come True, Love and Laugh I printed them out
I tried for weeks to find something about the country for the poem/quote box but all the research I did. I came up with sayings, poems and other things written in chinese, I don't understand chinese so I didn't know what it said LOL
then I decided to write Dreams Do Come True, went to a language transfer site and tranferred it into chinese.
I was gonna stamp letters but the craft store wanted $8.00 per chinese stamp. I know I will never use them again so I decided to print them. Ok so I'm cheap

thanks again
glad you like them

 

[PixieDust32]

Great idea. Thanks

Thanks, Tracey!! I will continue on with my plans.

I did look at the pictures of your elements and they're great! I'm looking forward to receiving them later this year!

WOW!! The elements for China are amazing. Is it okay if I sit here and pout that I will be missing those and that I missed the swap.

Funny thing is though all this stuff is getting my hubby excited about srapping. He doesn't usually have input, but we went in August with our then 8 month old (first time) and his daughter (first time for whole family together) and we decide pre-trip to do a ABC Disney album. We only will let me work on it with him (which is great, but is slowing the whole thing down.

Anyway I told him the stuff about the world showcase swap and he is sooo excited for me to work on things myself so that for our trip in May (oh my goodness that's this month ) we can target what pictures we want of the World Showcase to scrap. Pretty Cool

ok so a 'slide mount' refers to a square or rectangular piece of cardstock with a proportional cutout (square or rectangular) but off center a bit? or centered? it looks to me like one of the white cardboard things that held science stuff to look at through a microscope, hence the name?

sorry to be dense
