After having participated in one of the most rewarding holiday title swaps at swappinscraps.blogspot.com hosted by a dear friend, I decided it was time to venture into the world of swapping myself! I am so happy to announce my very first Iheartscraps swap.
The project life swaps and title swaps I've participated in have been challenging and rewarding, but most of all, extremely practical. I look forward to being able to use a finished product made by a fellow crafter and not just another manufacturer, but someone who took the time to choose the papers carefully, the embellishments and who put the love of crafting into it. I would like to offer the same to my fellow crafting friends.
For my very first swap, I would like to introduce an 8x8 Mini Calendar book swap. I need at least 6 people to sign up and take 2 months. If we can find 12 people to do just one of the months that would be spectacular. The concept is that each person will create 2 8x8" layouts for 2 months. I will be creating the covers for all of the mini books because as many of you know I loooove looove looove making book covers! I will in addition sign up for as many months as we need. With that being said, I was thinking that a date of February 15th would be good because we give ourselves time to get over the holiday craze as well as treating our fellow crafting sisters to a post Valentines gift!
The sign ups and more details will be posted below! Can't wait to see all of your crafty genius!
Swap #1
2013 Mini book
Wouldn't
it be great to have the years layouts planned out, without being bogged down
with all of that work? Lets get together and get our mini books done so
that we can spend less time planning and getting bogged down in the infinite
number of layouts we didn't accomplish. I know personally, I would
love to have a pre-planned page for me to add pictures to! Get out
those cricuts ladies, dust off those svg cutters, and get to using some of
those hoarded, ehem, I meant collected supplies!
Sign up dates: January 6, 2013
Due date:
February 15, 2013 to me by mail or in person.
Return date: February 22, 2013 to you by mail or in person
Format:
8"x8" square or scalloped edged pages.
Circles will be more challenging to bind
together.
Please allow enough space on the left hand side for
it to be bound by me with the cinch. If you would rather it hole punched
please let us know before we all start so that we can make arrangements for
your page.

Create
a calendar page for the month or months you sign up for.
Calendar
page must include
-
Title at least an inch tall.
-
Title must be easily visible on the page.
-
At least one embellishment
-
At least one set of card stock and patterned paper. The patterned paper
can be stamped background if you choose.
-
At least a fiber or interactive item on the page, doesn't have to be
both! You can choose I thought it would be fun and challenging to add an
interactive item to the mix.
-Event
related, but not necessarily religious. For example you don't have
to only do New Year for January, you can also do Martin Luther King Day,
National Soup Month, or National Hobby month with the Title of the month as
well. This is especially great, if you have a connection with one of the
items. Think outside the box and lets see how much fun we can conjure up!
This
should be a lot of fun and can't wait to see what we all come up with!
If
you have any questions you can email me at iheartscraps@gmail.com or FB me at
the same email address.
