Final Details Everything Else Disney Swap

[Franne]

Due: February 20th

Ok, we have 22 swappers for each Group So everyone needs to send me 22 of each item they make.
Please place all of your items that you make in plastic type bags or envelopes for each person. Then put all of them into a large ziplock bag. So if you are participating in both groups, you will send me 22 sets for Group A and 22 sets for group B. When I get everything I will swap them out and send them back to you. Don't forget to add your name to your elements so we know who did what
Please remember to include $3.85 for return postage for your goodies to get to you, it can be in the form of a stamp or conceled cash. I think I am going to try using the USPS.com mailing labels so we can get free delivery confirmation (At least I think that's how it works, then we can at least track the packages should some become lost)
If anyone knows that for sure, let me know. I will get the priority mail envelopes from my post office, so no need to send one.
I think that about does it...if I missed anything, please let me know as this is my first time hosting
You girls have all been great!

Thanks Franne for hosting. Hoping to buy my stuff next week and get started. Have a rough idea in my head , but need to put it on paper.

[TinkerKat]

Ok Girls, silly question.... If I am doing frames, and let's say I want to double mat it, do I then use "respositional tape" so that you can remove the first layer to insert picture? I know scrappers "hate to commit" to the permanaent glue until the idea has come full circle and they know exactly which picture they will use in a particular frame.
Since this is my first swap want to get it all straight. Thanks! Kathy

 

[TinkerKat]

Bumping this hoping for a response? Hello.. Franne?

 

[Franne]

Hi! Sorry, I have been away from the boards. When I did frames I had the same question, I just put tape on the top, so it was open on the other 3 sides, since I figured you had to get the picture in somehow. I would think if you have repostitional tape, that would be great. Otherwise you can go with the taping it on the top. What does everyone else think??
Franne

 

[Twigs]

I usually use frames by laying them over a picture on a page, I do not insert them inbetween the layers of the frames, but maybe that is just me.

 

[nicki dahling]

I double layer , and then just lay them over the top of my pics like Twigs does.

Same here!!!

 

[scrapperjill]

Gotta say...I do the same. When I use frames I just lay them over the top of the photo

Here is the list of participants in BOTH groups:
Michelle Pooh
Mom2Madi
Nicki dahling
ksjayhawks
TinkerKat
Crapcrator
Jennz
ScrapperJill
Limmer
Piratesmate
WDWMom
Twigs
SnowWhite
DisneyFreakJackie
Mickeys Old Friend
Inky Dinky Doo
Franne
Disneyland Emily
Spinning

And Participants in A only
WDWPrincess Keli
DianaLyn
My4girls

And Participants in B only
Raven3517
Goofygirl0207
Dreaming of BCV

So to make it easier, for the 19 in both groups just use one baggie and put both elements in. That way you don't need 44 bags, just 25 bags (19 for both and 6 individual) all inside one big bag.
For those of you in one group, then just send 22 bags inside one big bag
The $3.85 for postage is a flat rate priority envelope so the weight doesn't matter as long as everything fits inside. The past swaps we've done, there hasn't been a problem with both groups fitting in the envelope.
Hope that clears it all up.

I am posting this on the other thread too

 

[TinkerKat]

Franne! You are so on top of this! Thank you!
I am soooooo happy with my "creativity" that I had already decided, I'm just sending for everyone! So those three gals in A will get my B creations. And vis versa.
I'm finally on a roll... And I had the number 22 stuck in my head. Hope that's ok.

My only question is, I count a total of 25 participants total? Thanks, Kat

That's very nice of you, 25 is the correct overall number of participants.

Okay...I'm just about ready to get everything shipped off. I have all 22 items for each group done...but now I have a couple more questions... I see you made a nice list of who is in both groups and who is in just grout A or B...That's real nice...works out handy. I had to put my toppers in an envelope...because they didn't fit into a ziplock....well they would have fit into a LARGE one...but anyways...there in envelopes...That should be alright...So I have 22 baggies and 22 envelopes...But my questions...I'm wondering how to put our name on the items...where does it usually go?...on the baggie/envelope...or on the item itself??? And do we HAVE to put everything in a XL ziplock when we ship it??? I wouldn't have thought of doing the flat priority mail rate...I was trying to stuff everything in a regular lg shipping envelope.

 

[Twigs]

I think the idea of putting the items in plastic is so that they will not get damaged if the packages get wet. I was able to get my borders into a gallon size ziplock bag, I think I put them in diagonally. Or you can wrap them up with plastic wrap. I usually put everything in a large shipping envelope with cardboard so that the items do not get bent, with the flat rate envelopes they are already cardboard. In past swaps some people have put their names on the back of their items and others on the baggies. I am not sure what everyone prefers.

You have it right, take all 22 bags and 22 envelopes and put them in a big baggie. You can ship it to me whichever way you want, we use priority to send it back to you because it's one price, makes it much easier!

As for your name, you can put it on the back of your peices or on the envelope or baggie. What I usually do is print off a sheet of labels and stick them on the baggie or envelope so I don't have to write it for all of them.
Hope that helps!

Labels....that's a good idea. I had (note HAD) everything ready last night before I went to bed....but guess what...Got up this morning...and my dog...took the envelope with all the baggies and other envelopes...and shreaded it. Of course all the baggies and envelopes were spread all over my family room floor ... some of the baggies were ripped open....and shreaded. Rrrrrr. I'm soooo mad. Luckly none of the 22 envelopes were harmed. From looking at things...I'll need to redo about half of them...well maybe a little less than half..

Oh...but it's not just the swap items she got her teeth into...but also my stash of fibers....yep I had all my fibers unwound and spread around the family room floor this morning also. I just want to know what made her get in my scrap bag and on the table to get these things out.... Well I guess I better get back to working on them.

 

[Franne]

Oh my gosh! Well, look at the good side, she could have destroyed them all then you would have to start all over. I guess the dog likes his "scraps" too! So glad I only have a cat!!

WHen is the due date?

 

[scrapperjill]

Well after picking every thing up and re-bagging it all I only had to remake 3 sets of the journaling boxes...now everything is baged, stuffed in envelopes...and bagged again. I think I'm ready to head to the post office tomarrow ...before the dog gets them again.... She's a puppy...and I can't wait until she gets out of the chewing phase. I've never had her do anything like that before...usually it's shoes or toys that were left out...but never on the table....or in my scrap bag. I was so careful to pick everything up last night also. I guess she just got a little to excited when she saw the package...thinking it must be for her...

 

[Franne]

WHen is the due date?

Everything is due back to me by the February 20th.
