Due Date: March 19, 2010. This is when I need to receive your package. The mail by date is March 12 to make sure the package arrives to me on time.

Required check-ins will be:
January 29
February 19
March 5
March 12 (mail by date)

I will pm you with a reminder if you forget to check in. After 48 hours with no response I will request angels for your spots. If you are going on vacation or will be out of town, please check in early. Please do not sign up for more than you can handle. If you need an angel, please ask for one as soon as possible.

After sign-ups, please pm me your name, DIS name, mailing address, email address and phone number when you sign up (I will only use these in an emergency).

This is an element only swap. The requirement for Group A through Group U will be to make 2 elements from the list below.

Element list:
Title = standard 8x2 topper (other sizes are okay), welded and shadowed letters, letters on squares, circles,mini tags or other shapes, a large title tag, title on a box, borders, photo mat, altered CD.
1 paper piecing (not a single layer diecut)
2 photomats for a 4x6 photo, 2 layers, smallest layer 4 ¼ x 6 ¼, embellished
2 journal boxes, total of 3 layers, minimum writing space 3x3, embellished
2 tags (or 1 large tag—greater than 2x3), 2 layers, something in the hole and embellished
1 file folder or matchbook (2 if mini) - -embellished
2 slide mounts -- embellished
Altered CD
3 altered paper clips
1 shaker box
1 library pocket and tag. Tag must be 2 layers with something in the hole, pocket must be embellished
1 license plate
3 shapes(squares, circles, stars, flowers etc) 2 layers, embellished
1 ATC
4 inchies
Signage/Bookmark: 1PP 2x6, double matted and embellished
Song/Lyric/Poem: 1PP, 3 layers in total and embellished. Min size 3x4, shapes are welcome
Altered letter: matted at least 4 inches

You can mix and match -- 1 tag and box, 1 photomat and box, 1 tag and 2 squares or shapes, etc.

******Please let me know if you have an idea not listed! We are open to new things.

Suggestions for embellishments include:
Die cuts, stickers, stickles, flock, ink, chalk, brads, charms, flowers, eyelets, ribbon/fiber, sewing, tearing, embossing, stamping, clipart, additional layers of paper beyond double mats (if it would look weird trying to fit in another embellishment, specialty paper (such as embossed, glitter, Bling).

Groups V, W, X, Y, Z, ZY and ZZ are altered letter only groups. Group V, W, X, Y, Z and ZY are where you will make the first letter of the word only. Like, if you choose Pirates, you would make the P and when everyone gets it back they can add the "irates" to it anyway they want or just use the "P" on their page. For Group ZZ, you will make one letter of the word MICKEY and each letter is to use specific colors so that the word goes together. If you have any suggestions on these groups, please let me know as this is the first time I've tried these types of groups.

Groups V, W, X, Y, Z, and ZY: Make a 4 inch letter, matted, and embellished at least once. You may use patterned and solid colored paper. Please be creative
Group ZZ: Make your letter 2 inches, matted, and embellished at least once. Your top letter is cut at 2 inches and the mat can be the shadow. The colors to use are red, black, yellow, and white. Please use all or a combination of those colors so that all the letters can be used together. You may use patterned and solid colored paper. Please be creative.

Packaging: Place your completed elements in a Ziploc bag THAT FITS YOUR ELEMENTS (the bag MUST close) with your DISname, name and group letter. Do not address your items to a particular swapper. (That makes it harder for me to sort!) Your label should look like this

DisneyIsTerrific
Stephanie Sadler
Group A

Take all of your baggies for a group and place them in GALLON size (or larger) bag, (for Groups V-ZZ, you may use a quart size bag) and label with the same. Please use the gallon bag (or larger) -- your items may fit in a smaller bag, but the items you receive back might not.
Please include a return address label -- either a USPS priority mail label that you have addressed, or the little ones you would put on envelope. (This cuts down on errors.)

Mailing: You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after March 5 [note this is before the mail by date]. Then, you must mail Priority WITH Delivery Confirmation. I prefer to send to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. The rates are: Envelope or Small Box (9”x6”x2”) - $4.95, Medium/Standard box – $10.70, Large - $14.50. I won’t require Delivery Confirmation, UNLESS you are sending to me AFTER March 5. If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the $.70, and a filled out slip. I will not mail the items back with delivery confirmation unless you include the $.70. And I am not responsible to for postal errors. Also, please include a label (can be the priority label completed with your info or a small address label) for me to use to return your items to you.

DO NOT include clik-it/ship-it postage. I will not be able to use it since it is only good on the day it was printed, and from the location it was printed.

I personally like Option 2, but will probably only join a group or two. I really like the "Lands" set. But, I like the idea of the "altered" letter too, so if that would be in addition to a title, that may not work...Just thinking out loud here.
 
Hi DIT,
I will be sitting this one out. I could possibly angel for you if you need one and I can make the group work.
But your groupings look great! I think you've thought of everything.
 


This looks great! I will consider possible groups later, but I like the "Tours" group a lot - we will have done almost all of those after our August trip!

Thanks for the reminder! I was going to put a couple of Altered Letter only groups in this swap to try the out. I'll go add a couple of them now.
 


I'm trying to be good with the swapping so I'll likely only join a couple groups, but I like option 1. Some things don't really lend themselves to great titles.
 
Oh, and I agree for option 1 - I love elements, because I do a lot of two page spreads for one subject.
 
Your groups look great-you really did think of everything. I like the flexibility of option 1. Have fun at Disney!!!:)
 
Set up looks good! I will refrain from voting as I am only considering the altered letter groups. Thanks for hostessing this swap.
 
I added another altered letter group. I thought it would be fun to do the altered letter for the different lands as well.
 
Do you think there would be enough interest for a Princess group? You know, Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Jasmine, Mulan, and Ariel?

I can put one up and we'll see what happens. If there's not enough interest, I'm thinking of doing altered letter groups for the character swap I'm hostessing this summer. I think the altered letters will be perfect for that swap!
 
More altered letter groups:scared1: I was going to keep this small, but these look too good.

I would join the princess group. Can you put in Mulan? Make it a group of 7, or even keep it at six, but you can pick from the 7?

I knew I'd forgotten someone, but couldn't think of who!!! I've added her and just made the group 7. The land group is 7 too. I think 7 is fine since the requirement is to make just 1 letter.
 
You're killing me! You know I love playing with you and there arent going to be many opps for me to do that this half of the year! You know Im going to have to break down and do a letter or two!:lmao:
