COMPLETE ~ Animal Kingdom Swap

[PrincessNancy96]

Animal Kingdom swap is now closed but active!!! This is now the progress thread for the remainder of the swap!!!!!

ETA: This is open to all swappers.. veteran or newbie!!!

If for some reason a group does not fill I will post a note to see what majority wants to do either drop or merge w/another group.

Due Date: June 16, 2010. This is when I need to receive your package. The mail by date is June 11th to make sure the package arrives to me on time. The due date is FIRM as we are leaving for vacation the following week. I will have these back out by June 19th.

Required check-ins will be:
1 May 4th: check groups/info to me
2 May 20th
3 June 3rd
4 June 11th (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).

I will open up additional groups if there is interest!!!

This is an element only swap.

Groups A thru J will be to make 2 elements from the list below.


Groups K thru Q are altered letter only groups. Make a 4 inch letter, matted, and embellished at least once. You may use patterned and solid colored paper. Please be creative.
Group K thru Q 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.


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

PrincessNancy 96
Nancy A…..
Group A

Take all of your baggies for a group and place them in GALLON size (or larger) bag, (for Groups K- N, 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 mark all bags w/ above information. **Please note on altered letter groups if you wish you could package all the letters into 1 quart size baggie; without having to bag each letter individually.


Mailing: You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after June 8th [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 June 11th. 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. ** 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.)**

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.

ELEMENT GROUPS:
This is an element only swap. The requirement for Group A through Group J 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, altered letter (matted @ 4" & embellished).

NEW ADDITIONS REQUESTS:

Altered Letter Groups R-W: Make your letters 2 inches, matted, and embellished at least once. Your top letter is cut at 2 inches and the mat can be the shadow. Each group will have its own color scheme. Please stick to the color scheme selected for each group. If there is an odd number the person w/ just 1 letter will make an additional element from the element list in the related color scheme. **Please note on altered letter groups if you wish you could package all the letters into 1 quart size baggie; without having to bag each letter individually.

**Swappers: it has come to my attention a few times in this swap that sometimes the colors in the color scheme just doesn't flow quite right... if you find that is occuring.. PLEASE go with your gut and make what makes you feel good... WE will all LOVE the pieces and they will all look GREAT together!!! Use the color scheme more as a guide.....

Great to have you on board!!!

 

[PirateTink]

I'll be in for a few groups - I'll have to look through my stuff & see where my gaps are. I'm soooo in for the altered letter groups - those have been so fun to do!

Looking forward to it!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

If you all would prefer to strickly go with Altered letters and an element in the element groups, I'm willing to do that... just let me know!!!

 

[Mickeyteacher]

That is fine with me. It was what I was thinking I would do for the Epcot swap too.

[PirateTink]

It doesn't matter to me either way. I like to mix it up in my books - some pages with the letters, some with titles & elements. I'll go with the flow & think up some fun things no matter which way you go with it.
