WEll since there are only two spots left I will use them as an example.
The hostess sets the rules, type of paper, type of items to make.
You pick your spot, and your items from her list of available ones.
Then you make the amount it says to make....
I.E. If you chose Christmas 3a...You would make (6) mats for 4x6 photos. Then choose two other elements from her list such as.....a tag and squares. Then you make 6 tags, and 24 squares (6x4 that are assigned to this item) All of the items should go together to form a page layout for the person recieving them. You do not send pages or 12x12 paper just the elements you made. When completed bag each of the six sets seperately (1 4x6 mat, 1 tag, 4 squares) and label with Christmas 3A and your name (dis and real). Then you ship it to the hostess with postage for a return envelope to you enclosed. (I buy a 3.85 priorty stamp and put in the package). When she gets all the swap items she will split up the packages, and you will recieve one of yours back along with 5 different ones. It is a lot of fun and a great way to stock up on items for future pages.
Hope this helps!

Bazzill is a type of cardstock. Two of the groups (2 and 4) are using only this particular type of cardstock so that they can easily match the colors for matting our photos, plus we just love this cardstock....lol
A couple things to keep in mind....the 4x6 mat needs to be a little bigger so that a 4x6 pic can sit on it and you can still see the mat. And we are here to answer any and all questions....have fun ! and welcome to the swap!!!
