Super Sports and More Swap 2 Elements
________________________________________
Sign ups close Wednesday morning. I will delete groups of less than 2. Final numbers will be posted Wednesday night.
Hi everyone! Here is the sign-up thread for the Super Sports and More Swap.
1. Due date is May 7, 2009. That is when I need to receive your package. Mail by date is April 30, 2009, to make sure your package arrives to me.
NOTE: I will ask you to check in every TWO weeks (by posting a check-in by date in the thread title). If I haven't heard from you for the check ins, I will send a pm to you. If the pm is not answered within 2 days, I will have to angel your spot if there is enough time. I will NOT be extending the due date. If there is not enough time for an angel to make the elements before the due date, I WILL send you back your duplicates. If you will be away for a check in, please let me know ahead of time.
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).
2. You pick your topic when you sign-up. Please let me know what your elements will be when you sign-upto keep from having too many of one kind. Some groups need a topic or theme, please let me know what yours is and pick a title as one of your elements.
3. Required: You will make 2 elements from the list below for each person in your group, elements must be embellished in some other way. There will be no more than 6 people per group so you can keep the production small per group. If your topic is a theme bubbles, chalk, trucks, etc please pick a title for one of your elements.
4. Packaging: Place your completed elements in a Ziploc bag THAT FITS YOUR ELEMENTS or page 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

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.)
5. Mailing: You may send to me, by any method you choose unless you are mailing after April 16[note this is B4 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 (9x6x2) - $4.95, Standard box $10.35, Large - $13.95. I wont require Delivery Confirmation, UNLESS you are sending to me AFTER April 16. If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the $.65, and a filled out slip. I will not mail the items back with delivery confirmation unless you include the $.65. And I am not responsible to for postal 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.
6. If you havent swapped with me before, I am limiting you to TWO groups only. If you have problems and need to drop out or if an emergency happens (we all know things happen beyond our control sometimes), let me know so we can make arrangements for an angel or other help if needed.
7. If you are in both swaps please be mindful of your time management. Do NOT sign up for more than you can handle.
8. Most importantly HAVE FUN!! I know we all get worried about our stuff sometimes. I know everything will be GREAT! Just make something you would be proud to have in your own albums, and everyone will love it!!
Ok - here are the elements to choose from (if you have another idea for an element, let me know and I will add it). If you have questions about any of these elements, you can look at the swap glossary link at the top of the swaps board, the swap photo gallery link at the top of the swaps board, or pm me! I'll be happy to help!!
Please, no hand lettering on any items. You may use computer fonts, rub-ons, stamps, die cut letters, etc. Embellished means using brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, 3D stickers (matted stickers are ok, too), clip art, inking or embossing (dry & heat), glitter/embossed/bling paper, extra layer of any paper. All elements should be double-matted and embellished some other way unless otherwise noted!! If you dont know if yours is, ask me.
