Park Swaps - Animal Kingdom - Sign-ups - CLOSED

[christinadei]

Okay, it's time to sign up for the 3rd park swap, Animal Kingdom!!!!

It will be like normal, pick a theme (can be a ride, land, AK in general, whatever), then choose an element from group a and group b. We'll have groups of 12. If the first one fills up, another one will open.

Due Date is May 1!!!!!

Send them back to me with a priority mail stamp or 4.05 to cover your postage. Put the elements in individual ziploc bags (i.e. one of each element from group one and two, you'll have 12 bags). Then put them all in a gallon ziploc bag. I'll put all of your elements back in yoru bag and send them back to you!

Please pm me if you have any questions!!! I'm new at hosting swaps, so let me know if I left anything out.

Thanks!!

[Michellepooh]

OK, I'll play.

I'd like journal boxes for Group A and squares for Group B, please. I was thinking of some sort of "generic" animal type theme that could be used for any park pictures. Is that OK?

 

[christinadei]

I'll get you both down! I think that a general animal type theme is just fine!

 

[jennyL]

I'm in. I'll take the tags in Group A and the eyelts etc in Group B. I'll have my theme later.

 

[PixieDust32]

How big is the shaker box?

 

[christinadei]

How big is the shaker box?

Whatever size you want to make it!

 

[PixieDust32]

I want the 2 borders in group A and the Journal boxes in group B.

I wanted to make the Shaker but I don't know the size or how to make one.

I'll sign you up for those things. I'll see if I can find links for directions on shaker boxes. If you change your mind and want to do them, just let me know.

 

[christinadei]

Here are a few links and tips that I found.

Here are 2 links I saved about making shakers:
http://www.scrapjazz.com/topics/Techniques/Shakers/138.php
http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/cr_scrapbooking/article/0,2025,DIY_13776_3115010,00.html

However, I have to tell you that many of the shaker boxes I've gotten in swaps have leaked their beads. While trying to figure out a more secure way to do them, I was chatting with Sweet Maxine and she came up with something that keeps those little buggers contained! She told me to use one of those meal sealing gadgets!

The hardest part then is getting it the right size. (I was cutting a hole in the foam sheet in the middle with the same die as I used on the top layer.)

Once I worked out that problem, I had trouble finding an adhesive that worked on the foam & plastic that was acid-free. I was making a very small one, so I ended up putting the foam layer through my Xyron 150 (the little X) and that worked great!

I've never done a swap before but would love to try (I lurk around this board quite often). If you allow new people, I'd love to join. I'd like to do eyelets/buttons/ribbon in one group and the library pocket and tag in the other.

Of course, you are more than welcome!!!! I'll sign you up! Just beware, swaps can be addicting

 

[hiclarke]

I'm looking forward to it! (plus it gives me a reason to go to my LSS to go shopping!)

Thanks!

I think I have an idea but I want to practice before making some for swaps.

What would you guys use for the background?

 

[bcarson]

I would like to try my hand at a topper for Mickey's Jungle Jam Parade. Also tags that went with this. I see everyone else is doing general theme is that okay? I could do whatever group you want. Thanks!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I'd like to join...

Could I have the mini-file folder in Group A & box n tag in group b?

Does anyone have a good template for the box n tag? Found an awesome idea last night!!!!
I'd like to do the generic A/K theme at this point!


Thanks!!!

We just got back from Disney last month and spent 2 full days at AK and still didn't see everything. AK is my two animal lovers favorite park. I will take 2 Frames from group 1-a and a shakerbox from group 1-b!! Do I have to have specific colors or just general AK theme?

Thanks

It's up to you. You can do a general theme, or a more specific theme like the dinosaur ride, circle of life show, tree of life, etc.

 

[New England Eeyore]

I'd like to join in!

I assume a "box n tag" is a journalling box and tag. Am I right? I'd like to do that in Group A. For Group B, I have an idea for a paper piecing, but I've never done one before. Can I choose that as my element, but if it turns out to be to ambitious for me, then could I switch to a different element that is unchosen at that point?

My Theme will be "It's Tough to be a Bug."

Thanks!!
