NB: CHANGES SIGN UP DATE EXTENDED 1 (ONE ) Partner 2 Pages

1 partner 2 pages to each partner

It is hoped that enough people join this swap to enable it to complete a series of 3 swaps. 2 pages to each of 2 partners. If 3 swaps are completed you will have 12 pages to combine into a little journal. For this first one it is open theme—vintage of course :) — Senders choice

*Take an A4 piece of sturdy paper/card ..double sided scrapbooking paper, craft card, or Water colour paper , cut into 1/4’s—4 pieces - approx. 6” x 4”, 2 of these to each partner

*Using your artistic skills, ie: collage, painting , stamping, drawing, create a vintage page on each piece. 2 can be the same as they will be going to different partners The back of the card can be painted or stamped. Double sided paper would solve this. Embellish if/as you like

*You can decide whether to include a vintage style verse eg: roses are red, violets are blue … such as found on vintage postcards

*Leave about 1cm on the left side free of writing to enable binding and page in portrait orientation

*sign your name,( real or swap-bot ) date and country on the back of each page

*you should be able to fit your pages into a C6 size envelope, keeping Postage to the minimal cost.

Any questions please PM me or leave a message in the comments box

Please be committed if you sign up .

HINT: The more who sign up the more likely you’ll get a different partner in each swap :)

I'd love to join, but such a low rating requirement makes me nervous. What are your expectations regarding swappers who may participate?

SherriB 05/17/2013 #

(For example, I know a swapper who actually has NINE "1" ratings, and she's got a 4.8 total rating score. So 4.5 is extremely low.

cafras 05/18/2013 #

I expect participants to have a good standard of work, In my experience a high rating does not always mean the standard is high as most swappers give hearts regardless. I'm happy to change to 4.9 Thank you for your comment.

If anyone has any suggestions for themes I'd be happy to hear them

Jan218 05/18/2013 #

For themes maybe vintage fashion or vintage transportation?

SherriB 05/18/2013 #

Thanks Cafras! Watching for now. . .gotta make sure I don't over-commit myself. Vintage fashion would be a fun theme. I love vintage birds and botanicals, too.

cafras 05/18/2013 #

Thanks for above suggestions , these are on my list

SIGN UP TIME IS CLOSE I need to make a decision

1.Change partner to ONE partner

  1. Extend send by time

3.Cancel swap

If it's two pages I would suggest you change it to one partner. Four pages is a lot to do.

coleenfranks 05/23/2013 #

A month is plenty enough time for any swap. Don't cancel it.

cafras 05/24/2013 #

The 'pages' are postcard size approx 6" x 4" one A4 page cut into 4. I am making mine 2 the same. They don't have to be elaborate just effort into a good standard of work .

.
My reason for 2 partners is to collect a number of pages quicker I can change this if others make the same request. For now I am waiting for responses.

colleenfranks thanks for your input
