Trading Pages

[Samara]

A few nights ago in chat some of us starting talking about how much fun a "picture" swap would be. I've done this several times before with paper scrapping, but not digital. Basically you will need to select 2-3 photos that you'd like scrapped. You may also like to provide your partner with journalling as well.

You will then will trade with a partner who will create a layout for you and you will create a layout for them.

When everything is all said and done, you will each email your layouts (in a zipped jpeg file). Does this sound like something you're interested in?

I'll take sign-ups in this thread.

anyone else????

[Elizabeth]

I'd love to try this too. I'm not sure how to do zipped files though. I can download and unzip, just unsure about how to send them.

[deeya]

I love the idea of working with someone else's stuff... and them working with mine...

Let me know what I need to do.

[Karen]

I'll have a go Samara.......I need a bit of motivation to scrap again :)

[Gumavi]

I'm interested, too.

But, like Elizabeth, I would need some help with zipping the file. :o

[Timmysmum]

I'm not sure how they would turn out but I would love to have a go
I also would need those zippy instructions

[Samara]

Sounds great ladies!!! I'll give sign ups another day or so and then let you all know the final details.

Trading Pages Swap

You will have one week to get pictures to your partner. Please submit 2-3 pictures via email to your partner,
your partner may then decide to use all of the pictures or only one. You will then have two weeks
to finish a digital page/layout for your partner. Let's have pages due by May 20th. When you are
finished you may upload the page to DSP's Swap Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=501)

The final page may then be sent via email to your partner. We'll work together on getting the pages to each other


Since we have an odd number of people, I'll be completing two pages, hope you don't mind.

Here are your partner assignments...
Please send your partner a PM and give them your email address.

Luv2Crop & MandyNI0
Stella & Samandsophie
Karen_b & Elizabeth
deeya & Karen
Gumavi & Timmysmum
Jewel 68 & Lauraloub
Berry Girl & Luv2Crop

I'm so sad I missed out on this, it sounds like great fun. If you do another one be sure and let me know! :)

[Elizabeth]

Thanks for organizing this Samara! It sounds like so much fun! I'm going to email my partner now.

[Karen Bowers]

this is great! i'm really looking forward to this!

[Gumavi]

This was so much fun for me! I finished my page for Timmysmum -

here it is. (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=34789&cat=500&page=1)

What's the best way to share the original file? I know we talked about zipping it, but I'm clueless about how that works.

:)

[Elizabeth]

Wow! You're speedy. :) I must be a real poke. I just sent my pictures to Karen a few minutes ago. The layout you did is beautiful!! Great job!!

[Timmysmum]

Minna,
You are so talented and I agree with ELizabeth Ms Speedy :D
I really adore this layout.. The word art is perfect.... thank you so much for this....
Hope to get some time to start on yours over the weekend.
Hugs and kisses for an outstanding layout
Sue

[Gumavi]

Thanks, ladies!

It's not so much that I'm speedy, just obsessed! :D

[lauraloub]

When Stacy (Jewel 68) sent me the photos one jumped right out at me. I finished it and still want to play with the others a bit.

Here it is:

Mine is the only one in the Swap Gallery so far. The right gallery is Events>Digital Swaps.
I know there is at least one more. Minna?

[lauraloub]

...And here is number 2. I have finished one in graphic-style and one in paper-style. I like this one because it used a free kit from the Freebie Gallery here.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=34955&page=1

Stacy gave me just enough information to let me journal to Alannah and tell her how special that crib set is.

[Samara]

I'm so sad I missed out on this, it sounds like great fun. If you do another one be sure and let me know! :)

Debb-
I'm sure we'll do this again...just keep your eyes open.

[Samara]

Thanks, ladies!

It's not so much that I'm speedy, just obsessed! :D

OMG!!! I just spewed Coke all over the keyboard...hmm now I have sticky keys.

i had a great time with the swap! it was fun creating for elizabeth, and it was fun pushing myself to try to create at her level!

i would love to participate in another digital swap!

[Samara]

I'm so glad that everyone had such a good time.

Please let me know if you received/sent your layouts.

I'll post another Trading Pages soon.

[Elizabeth]

Thanks Karen. I really enjoyed this too! I love the layout you created for me! I'd love to participate in another swap as well.

Karen and I have both exchanged layouts through email. Thanks so much for setting this up for us Samara! I really appreciate it!

[Timmysmum]

My layouts for Minna are quite large file sizes how did you send them over email ?. Can someone advise how to zip the file so I can send across.
I would love to do the swap again Samara thank you so much for organising.

Right click on the image (jpeg), then select: send to >compressed (zipped) folder.

That's it! Now write your email, attach the zipped folder instead of the actual image.

Let me know how that works.

I'm so glad that you had fun with this. Please be on the lookout for another trading pages swap.

[Stacey Jewell Stahl]

Samara, I sent mine to Laura Lou last night.

[photomama]

MSMAC and photomama
We figured our skills might kinda match so we won't feel bad if they are not as elaborate as others.
We will give it our best shot.

[Lisa Carter]

sign me up too...if it isn't to late
