6x6 page swap

[LME]

I want to start a swap of 6x6 pages and wondered who would be interested.

Please feel free to chat and discuss ideas and when we have enough people we can swap.

My theme is love :)

We could do swapping pages one to one which would probably not need to be approved.

i.e. If you want to do a love page for me I would do a page for you in your theme.

Shall we see how it goes :wub:

Bookmarking now - will have a think about this one.

[AliTS]

I'd be interested in this Linda, and I'll happily do you a love theme one.

[toothfairytrace]

Hello! Loving this new altered section!

I would like to take part too please! Will bookmark and see what comes up! Will start thinking of themes!!!

[little_lucy_13]

Linda, have you done a page like this yet? I am love 'n hearts mad! Would defo wanna get involved with this swap. Thanks!

[chrisG]

Linda ~ I'm just genning up on altered art ~ tried an altered book about 18 months ago and wasn't sure about the concept of "altered". Didn't feel it was me at the time ~ but as you develop your ideas/skills it is something i'm hoping to try again. Recetly been blown away with "altered art" and the artice in this months SC&P is brilliant.
Have also recieved my "Love" tag CJ home and i'm gobsmacked at the work that has gone into it ~ LOVE it to bits :wub: Would your pages be on a similar line to what i did in my CJ? ~ if so I would love to try a 6 x 6 page for you (if you'll have me LOL) ~ Do we pick a theme as well and is there a set time for swapping i.e every 2 weeks

Chris I would love to do pages for you let me know when you choose a theme :wub:
Not got my cj back yet but yours was lovley :)

[teresa_wales]

Linda - do you mind a 'lumpy' page? I am a quilter, and have (what I think!) a good idea for your 'love' page - I'd like to have a go this weekend, and see if it works ok

Teresa

[Hysteri-CAL]

I've bookmarked this page, but not sure how you're going to work it - but very definitely interested - will it be like CJ pages ?

Got my theme .... just need more info. Ta hun xx

[toothfairytrace]

I would like my theme to be Vintage Ladies!

So - do I see if anyone wants to do that then I do a LO for their theme?????

[LME]

Hi have pm you all :)

Just jump in when ready as we can chat and show pages here saves on postage as last year one book cost me over £5 to post :blink:

I know we dont get to see irl life like when the book goes around but from experience I can tell you it should be less hassle as one cj I am still in is 6 months late and one persons went missing and another someone still has loads of the books in one place :mellow:

[AliTS]

Didn't get your pm Linda, please would you send it again. Thanks.

[little_lucy_13]

sounds like a much better idea than a CJ! How would people be storing these though? Are people going to use book rings (so we need to allow a little margin on the sides) or put them in page protectors?

[LME]

Hi Layla yes it depends on your book I have a book that is 6x6 but if you want to cut your own your could add some to the side for book rings :)

[peechy]

ooo i love this idea, can i join please? Love is a great theme, what with valentine's day coming up i can't decide if i want that theme or colours.....

[LME]

You can do either or both I dont mind doing both for you if not in a rush maybe do one and when you feel it is full do another :wub:

Must admit my friend has a colours on and it is lovely :)

[peechy]

:) thanks!

if you can do both that would be wonderful!! and then i can let anyone choose which theme they go for? they can choose both too if they wanted...

shall i do a page for your book?

[LME]

Please just pm me when you are ready no pressure :)

[little_lucy_13]

so, for example, I would send you a page and you send me a page....? have I got this right? rather than sending a whole book

[helenpp]

Think I would like to do this. Like the idea that no deadlines ( but I do work to deadlines!) and postage would be less than a CJ. Disadvantage is not seeing IRL everyone else's work but then again you instantly see swaps work so like that!

Theme now ..... how about ..... "what makes me tick?"

I would like to know you all a bit better!

I would like to do the two theme's spotted so far - Love and was it antique ladies?
will PM when ready to send
any more to put on list?

forgot to say bit of a newbie so if you do not like what I do happy for youu to "file" away in bin!

[LME]

We might not get to touch then but we can see them on here :wub:

[LME]

so, for example, I would send you a page and you send me a page....? have I got this right? rather than sending a whole book


Yes probably 2 pages that could go opposite each other minimum postage :)

[toothfairytrace]

Got your pm Linda! Thanks!

So I do a "LOVE" page and pm you when I'm done - is that right?

Helen - if I do a page for you do you mean what makes me tick or are you suggesting things that makes you tick!!?? (need to do some soul searching if it's me LOL!!)

[toothfairytrace]

Was just thinking - I had said Vintage ladies but also love the Vintage Children styles too!!!!

[helenpp]

Got your pm Linda! Thanks!

So I do a "LOVE" page and pm you when I'm done - is that right?

Helen - if I do a page for you do you mean what makes me tick or are you suggesting things that makes you tick!!?? (need to do some soul searching if it's me LOL!!)
I meant what makes you - the person doing the LO - tick as may help me to know you all

eg for me would be

my DD, MY DH, My crafting, my family, My TV programmes, My work etc

[AliTS]

I'd like to have a 'Journey' theme - sort of travel theme or ethnic art or vintage travel - any of those would fit nicely into it.

Can I sign up for Linda and Helen to begin with - I'll pm you when I'm done and then go on to some others.

[helenpp]

Back at you Ali - will put Journey on my list! DLO of 6x6 is it?

[AliTS]

I think the idea is to do a double - thanks Helen.

[helenpp]

Just publiising the altered jigsaw swap

http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?p=1575238#post1575238

sorry know not right place but think most this thread have expressed an interest.

[nejxr25]

please can i join in and chose the theme of CHRISTMAS past and present

do i now chose someone to make for ??

[LME]

Hi Jean just pm anyone on here who has said they would like to swap like me.

Then if you want you would do ie me 2 6x6 on Love and I would do you 2 6x6 on christmas does that make sense :)

[toothfairytrace]

It's me with a daft question again!

You say you are doing 2 of each? - does that mean 2 to send off or 1 to send and one to keep?

[LME]

Not silly 2 to swap so they can go opposite each other in your book like mine :)

[toothfairytrace]

Aha - I see!!!

Okay - I'm doing "love" for you & "what makes you tick" for Helen - I'll stick with that for now until I'm up to date!

Thanks Linda!!

[nejxr25]

anyone want to do a swap with me ?????

[LME]

I will just might be after I have done the other 3 :wub:

making a note so I dont forget I have to do

[LME]

Hi Deb no it will be ongoing just pm whoever you fancy swapping with :)
That way we can keep a record of ones to do :)

[DebU]

[DebU]

Linda,

Can you PM me your address please?

Thanks,

[toothfairytrace]

OMG! You work fast!!! LOL!!

[toothfairytrace]

I made a start on my one for you Linda......but here I am with questions again! Should I leave "spaces" for you to add photos/journalling? Or is it just to be all filled up & pretty? Or should I add some sort of journaling?

[LME]

Anything you like I wont add photos so pretty sounds nice :)

[toothfairytrace]

okay! thanks Linda!

[DebU]

Linda, am i right in thinking that I do a double 6x6 LO for you on the subject of Love???

Helen, I've almost finished your ~What makes me tick ~ pages. I'll post them with the jigsaw swap if that is OK.

Linda you are next! Anyone else want to swap? - my theme is Journey - travel, ethnic theme. Happy to try any theme in return.

[jainethepain]

I'll swap with you Ali - but it won't be for a little while. I seem to have suddenly got loads of stuff that all needs doing at once. My theme is Autumn - however you want to do that is ok :)

[AliTS]

That would be great Jaine, I'll do yours after Linda's - won't be immediately but I'll post them off to you and you can send yours back whenever. Autumn sounds great- I;ll look forward to that.

[Jay]

Hi everyone. I'm doing the 4 x 4 swap and I've just read through your thread. I wonder if any of you would care to swap with me. I would only want a 4 x 4 LO, but I will do 6 x 6 LO for anyone who will swap. There are some really interesting ideas on here. My theme if flowers.

[LME]

That would be great Jaine, I'll do yours after Linda's - won't be immediately but I'll post them off to you and you can send yours back whenever. Autumn sounds great- I;ll look forward to that.


Ali I have done a list on page 1 see what you fancy and pm the person :wub:

[toothfairytrace]

I've got papers laid out to do Linda's - just trying to think of how to put it all together!!!! Then I will do Helen's.......that will take a bit more thinking!!!

[LME]

Tracy what is your theme ?

Is it vintage :)

[toothfairytrace]

Yes it is!!! Got a beautiful K&Co Isabella fabric album to put them in!

[nejxr25]

jaine i will get your page in the post by the end of this week , just wanted to let you know what was going on with it

[jainethepain]

Thanks Jean, my first ones :)

I can't do anything for the next few days..... my craft room has had to morph back into the spare room as DD and DGD are coming for a few days :)

[LME]

Yes it is!!! Got a beautiful K&Co Isabella fabric album to put them in!


Tracy I have done yours I will send asap :)

[toothfairytrace]

ooooh! that will be my first!!!

[LME]

Dont rush Tracy we are doing them as we feel inspired :)

I just fancied yours today :wub:

I have pm you for your addy

[new2this]

Hello.
I'm doing Linda's 4x4 swap at the moment but could I join you on this one, please? I might have to wait a bit 'til I've finished the others but would like to have a go.

[LME]

Course you can :)

I find it completly different doing 6x6 gives you a bit more space :)

[LME]

Teresa I meant to add a quote could you print it and add it to one of the tags :)



The Night Will Never Stay

The night will never stay,
The night will still go by,
Though with a million stars
You pin it to the sky
Though you bind it with the blowing wind
And buckle it with the moon,
The night will slip away
Like sorrow or a tune.

by Eleanor Farjeon

[new2this]

Like the poem< linda. Can I scrounge it, please. Have an idea for an ATC that it would suit perfectly.

[LME]

Course you can :)

[LME]

Here are the pages from Teresa :wub:

[toothfairytrace]

Hello!

[AliTS]

Just to let you know that I haven't forgotten - Jaine, Frances and Tracy - they are still going round my head!

[teresa_wales]

Gosh I am sooo behind - I have 2 unfinished 4x4 pages sitting on the table for Frances and Jay, and no time to finish them. We're about to head up to the stables for the weekly riding sessions, then tommorow night its ballet, we've a big delivery on at work, and just been invited to a party on Friday night.
Roll on the weekend so I can get some scrapping done! LOL!

Teresa

[peechy]

Teresa - me too!! I will start catching up over the next two weeks.

[jainethepain]

After a surge the other week I am also lagging behind now - have a few busy weeks ahead, then I WILL get on with these :)

[toothfairytrace]

I'm still behind......between bad weather and tummy bugs my life is a bit upside down!

Haven't forgotten though!!

[AliTS]

thank you Frances for the lovely ethnic/journey pages - they are gorgeous.

It's a poor photo, but here are the two that I have received so far from Frances and Linda.

[LME]

Thanks no rush I will just btt every so often as a reminder:)

[nejxr25]

frances thanks for my xmas pages i am off to stick them in the book with the other set

[peechy]

frances - thanks soooo much for my beautiful pages.
photo's dont do them justice at all.

[new2this]

OK, just finished Helen's and Debs' LOs .. waiting for Debs address ... and that's everyone who had given a theme, I think!

Is there anyone else, especially those on the front page list, who would like a LO ... no need to hurry with a return ..... I just LURVE doing these!!

[nejxr25]

frances i will try and do your pages this coming week , what was your them honey ?

[new2this]

No rush, honest! My theme is Mythological beasts but that can include things like mermaids, sea serpents as well as griffins and winged horses!!!! Anything a bit wierd, really.
