Time for the January Swap...!

[frachioni]

Hi, Everyone! It's time for the January Swap!

For those of you who are new, this is an opportunity to digi-scrap a page for someone else. Your "partner" will give you pictures, journaling text they want to include, or any specifics they'd like you to incorporate, and YOU take it all and run with it. Use your own creative flair to compose an incredible LO, then swap it for one they created for you.

Partners will be randomly assigned based on how many folks sign up to be in. Please post a reply to let me know if you want to be a part of the fun. You have until January 18th to sign up. Then, I'll post the partners, and you'll have the rest of the month to contact each other, exchange photos, etc, create LOs, and post them to the Digital Swap Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=501).

I look forward to hearing from all of you!!

Wow!! Looks like we have a "full house" this time around! FABulous!! And, I see a couple of people who are new to Swaps - What FUN!

Okay, Here are the partners (we had an odd number, so I'll swap with two people):

cstiles and Bethy
Biffylady and Onyxelle
Crazycowgirl and Debra8898
mrichar383 and MA#3
jtaubman and wfclair (I couldn't resist the request on this one!)
keeplearning and Luv2scrapSherri
Avril and Arlene6
txmusicmom and Blossom
Boobearsmama1 and frachioni
smileycreations and frachioni

Okay, the next step is to contact your partner. Exchange pictures, required journaling, etc. Be sure to tell your partner whether you'll need an 8x11 LO, or a 12x12 LO. Also what your preferred dpi is (if applicable). When you've finished, post them in the Swap Gallery.

Just to put the pressure on a little bit, the deadline is a week from today: Thursday, January 26th.

Good luck, Everyone! And I can't WAIT to see those Swapped LOs!

[debra8898]

These are all so nice! Can someone tell me where to upload the pics to for the swap? Does everyone use a website or is there a section here to park you photos and just link to them? Thanks! (I didn't want to ask my partner and really scare her that I don't know what I'm doing...sshhhhhhhh :) )

Donna thank you, I do love both the layouts and I appreciate the hard work that goes into them.. my young sister Noelene will love the one with her on it, she has had the hardest life of us all but now has been blessed with a wonderful man who treats her like the princess she is.. when she was a tiny babe, I loved her and as she grew she was always tops in my heart.. thank you...

[txmusicmom]

she has had the hardest life of us all but now has been blessed with a wonderful man who treats her like the princess she is.. when she was a tiny babe, I loved her and as she grew she was always tops in my heart.. thank you...

SUPER -- I guess that was the reason for the first one! She needed it!!!

Hugs,
Donna
