[Brenda Cook]

Signup Deadline: 2/2/09
Mailing Deadline: 2/12/09

Theme: All Occasion

Hostess for this CARDScraps' Card Art Swap: Brenda Cook

Size of Cards: Normally, 4.25” x 5.5” – can be landscape or portrait. If you wish to create a card that is larger than this, please be sure to include an appropriately sized matching envelope.

Envelopes: You do not need to send an envelope if your completed card measures 4.25” x 5.5” – larger cards will require an appropriately sized matching envelope.

Number of Cards participants are required to make: 1 (one)

Mail destination: North Carolina

1. You will be notified of the hostess’ mailing address, via email.

2. Create 1 (one) card using traditional supplies only or traditional supplies and digital backgrounds or elements. You will receive 1 (one) card back from the swap.

3. Don’t write on the inside of the card…that way the recipient can personalize it.

4. Scan your Card Art, because you are going to need this later.

5. When you mail your cards to the Hostess, this is what you need to include in your envelope:

* The card you are swapping and appropriately sized envelope if over 4.25” x 5.5”
* A self-addressed stamped envelope if you live in the US. If you live outside of the US, you will need to send a self-addressed envelope and $1 US to cover the return postage. Use an oversized envelope. Suggested size to use is approx. 6 inches by 9.5 inches, which the USPS recognizes as letter sized mail, thus less postage cost.
* A list of supplies you used in your cards. Credit for digital backgrounds or elements. Be sure to denote which swap your card is for.

6. Once your card is in the mail, then you will post in the applicable forum thread ( http://www.cardscraps.com/forum/card-swaps/ ) that it is on the way and the date mailed. Do not post the image until after the hostess notifies you to do so.

7. Once the hostess receives all the cards, she will swap them out and send them out to the participants in the envelopes provided. You will also be notified in the applicable forum thread that you may post your card image in the Card Art gallery (http://www.cardscraps.com/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/510 ).

8. When participants receive their cards, they should post in the forum thread that they have been received.

Now that you have read all the details….who wants to make some Card Art and swap it with other CARDScraps members???

If you have any questions please post them in this thread. Happy Cardmaking!

Hello Brenda,

Sign me Up, please for WK 5. Also, all the cards that you have sent me in trade, I have received. I am running way behind in responding as I have been working on 2 big major projects for swap-bot and am taking a big class on Big Picture Scrapbooking and then on top of that I am still dealing with my fractured ankled and my return from Phoenix. So, just let everyone know I have not forgotten them and I will be working on it this week. It has nothing to do with not appreciating everyones' work--as I appreciate everyones' work over and over.

Secondly, Brenda, I received your catalog you sent me and I've looked through and I got your newsletter today and downloaded info today and I am going to place an order with you with regards to Stampin Up. I am going to e-mail it to you in the next couple of days. I do want one of those Valentine bundles so please put that on my order, and then I will send you the rest of my order in the next couple of days.

Thanks,

Barb
