I thought it was time that we hosted another swap here at Cookin' up Creations as it's been quite some time since the last one . . .
Anyone that wants to play along can . . .
The idea (in my head) is this. . . .
Each person that signs up will be randomly paired up with another person - this way, only one envelope / package will need to be mailed.
You will include 6 (six) sheets of 6 x 6 paper (either cut or from a paper pad) with a theme, monochromatic, etc
You will also include enough embellishments to coordinate with the papers to create a layout with.
Ideas for embellishments include :
- Wooden shapes, Flair, Chipboard pieces
- Letter Stickers for the title, and / or machine cut title
- Gems, Pearls, Sequins or enamel dots, buttons, mini brads, eyelets (just make sure the person you send to still has an eyelet setter)
- Bakers Twine, jute or ribbon
- Phrase stickers , journaling spots, ephemera, or die cut pieces
- Miscellaneous - just be fair in what you send (flowers, washi tape, acrylic pieces)!
*Again, all embellishments MUST COORDINATE. Please send at least 6 (six) different types of embellishments! An example would be a cut title (1), ephemera pieces / die cuts (2), bakers twine (3) enamels dots (4) misc journaling spots (5) and a mixture of sequins and buttons.
When you sign up, you will post what types of layouts that you anticipate working on, what embellishments you like and/or dislike. Your partner will take this information and curate a mini kit just for you. *Please only send items that you would use in your own scrapbooks.
Each person that signs up, will then be required to take the embellishment kit and create a layout with the items received. You can even send your partner pictures to help curate the kit, or you could let it all be a total surprise. . . .that's entirely up to you and your partner.
What does everyone think? Is anyone interested?
Sign ups will begin tonight, and end on Monday May 25th, at which time I will assign partners. Kits should be mailed no later than Wednesday June 10th (as we're pulling from our stash) and our layouts should be posted by July 1st.
