What better time than summer to try something new??

This swap is a seasonal challenge swap. Each season I will (try to!) post a different challenge.

Here's how it works: When I assign partners, I will send everyone in the swap a digital image sheet. Everyone gets the same sheet. Your challenge is to make something fun, thoughtful, and creative for your partner. This is Sender's Choice, so make whatever you want but you must use at least one of the images on the digital sheet that I send you and it must be in the Somerset Style.

Some ideas:
-an altered votive holder or candle
-a set of tags
-a wall hanging
-a decorated box or tin
You get the idea.

The only other requirement relates to quality. Make something you are proud to share. Can we make our partners squeal with delight? I bet we can.

Let the games begin!

A wonderful Idea!

This is cool but how do I get the digi photo to print? Is it in an e-mail?....just starting to learn a little about digi stuff. We are on strike and I am very frazzled about the whole thing but am hoping I will be able to join the swap if they go back to work by then! Fingers crossed!

CarrieZee 06/23/2011 #

Thanks for the nice comments. I think it will be so cool to see what everyone comes up with.

@Darcilena I'll be sending a file in PDF format which can be printed by almost any computer and printer. I will email it to all the participants when partners are assigned.

Sorry about the strike. Boo! How dare they interfere with our swapping!!

Carrie if we do a wall hanging what would be the minimum dimensions (if any)?

CarrieZee 07/ 3/2011 #

No minimum dimensions for any of the crafts. Just use your best judgement as what would look best and make something full of Somerset goodness for your partner.

Great to see so many jumping in on this! You ladies are awesome!!

CarrieZee 07/ 3/2011 #

Just a quick reminder to make sure that Swap Bot has a current email address for you. I'll be sending the PDF with the digital collage sheet there later this week.

Bought a super cute one just for this occasion.

CarrieZee 07/ 9/2011 #

It is a fun set of images with 'tickets' as the theme. Glad to see so many wonderful swappers participating!!

CarrieZee 07/10/2011 #

Hello everyone! Thanks to all who signed up for this swap. Partners have been assigned and the digital images have been sent to your email address of record on the 'Bot. PM or use return email if you have questions.

It would be really fun to see pictures of this on Flickr so we can check out all the crafty loveliness. It will be fun to see all of the creative ideas as they come to life.

Happy crafting!
