Signups will be Monday, January 10th at 9:00 a.m.
Due Date: April 1st, 2011. This is when I need to receive your package. The mail by date is March 25 to make sure the package arrives to me on time.
Required check-ins will be:
January 31
February 21
March 7
March 25 (mail by date)
If we find that we need more time to complete this swap just let me know and we can adjust the dates.
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. If you need an angel, please ask for one as soon as possible. We all have families and emergencies sometimes happen. We understand if you cannot complete - just let us know so we can make proper arrangements.
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).
The requirement for Group A through Group P will be to make a mini page kit
(2 photo mats and 2 elements) from the list below.
Groups AA through YY are single elements to be chosen from the list below. (This has changed as I didn't want to infringe on the letter swaps happening in February). YOU MAY STILL USE THE 4" LETTER AS YOUR ELEMENT OF CHOICE IF YOU WANT.
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. Be creative - we love new things!
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

Signage/Bookmark: 1PP 2x6, double matted and embellished

Altered letter: matted at least 4 inches
You can mix and match -- 1 tag and box, 1 border and box, 1 tag and 2 squares or shapes, etc for both of the groups.
******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).
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
Tyniknate
Danielle Seidel
Group A
Take all of your baggies for a group and place them in GALLON size (or larger) 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 14th [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.
Here's the listing from last year (with a few minor changes). Any additions or subtractions? We will be waiting for the 2" letter groups - they will be in the February swap.
