May Scrap Swap

[Alishaw]

Is May here already??? :eek:
Wow! Is anyone up for another Scrap Swap?

Here's how it works:
We post pictures and info for layouts, then someone else scraps them for us! It's fun to see different styles and techniques.

Post your pictures by Wednesday, May 7 at 10:00 PM. You'll download and do a page for the person who posted pictures just above you. Be sure to include: photos, journaling, dates, and your preferred size (12X12, 8.5X11, etc).

You'll need to post the finished layout by Sunday, May 25, at 10:00 PM. (let's give ourselves some time to get these done this time)

[Kelli West]

yay! I always do better when I am scrapping for someone else. I take a longer time. Now all I need to do is go find some photos for this!!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Dude... for some reason the new threads aren't showing on my computer~~~ I sent Alishaw a message today saying... are we going to have a May swap! NOw the hunt for photos~

[supermombritt]

I want to play. I seem to do more scrappin when it is for someone else. Now, what photos should I post? Hmmmmm.

[Jamie Hamblin]

Here are mine....

2656 2657
2658

Whoever gets mine... I don't care if you just use one photo or all three. Whatever you wanna do! :) And I'll have to see your page to come up with the journaling. :)

12x12
Feb 27.2008
Journaling Will be done last! :)


So Alisha do i get yours? Or do I wait for the last person? :)

[Jamie Hamblin]

Did i scare everyone away from this? What's going on gals and guy?

[Kelli West]

just need to get some pics
not scared. :)

[supermombritt]

Who wants to do the page of someone who makes amazing pictures? Not me. Just kidding. If I could decide on pictures, i would do yours Jamie.

[Jamie Hamblin]

Okay... I was getting nervous there for a minute! :)

[Alishaw]

I'll do yours Jamie! Email the full ones to me would'ya?

Jamie, you'll do whoever posts their's LAST. Here is one I took last night of Paige.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc30/AlishaShaw/IMG_0800BW.jpg
Title: ??
Date: May 2, 2008
Size: 8.5 X 11 or 11 X 8.5
Journaling: maybe just a cute quote or something

So whoever posts their photo next will do mine.

[Jamie Hamblin]

WOW!!! GREAT SHOT!

Okay... So whoever is last... YOU'RE MINE :)

[Kelli West]

ok, I found a picture!! I do 12x12, Title can be something about Father & Son, and a quote of the same thing. you can play with the picture, make it B&W or keep it color. This is my brother and my dad!
looks like i got Alishas!!

[Kelli West]

oh, and whoever does mine, i will email you the HIGE RES!

[Kelli West]

ok Alisha,
here is your page! I didn't want to do too much that distracted from your beautiful daughter! I found this quote and thought it went well with the photo. The problem is I'm NOT very good with word art, and don't have a ton of cute fonts to chose from. So you can change it around free will and there will be NO OFFENSE TAKEN! :) IHope you like. I always get nervous doing yours!!

[Kelli West]

P.S. I'm not sure if I used a HIGH RES picture, sooooo you can send me the high res one and I wil switch them out!

[Kim Hansen]

WOW WOW Kelli--I love it! It looks beautiful--your layout AND Alishaw's picture. The quote is perfect. How come you are so fast at scrappin'?

Now, you need a little girl:)

[chryslergreen]

YAY! I'm so glad I found this thread, I love doing the scrapswap! Now I just need to find some pictures - not really a problem though, I have tons to choose from! Gorgeous page Kelli :)

[Kelli West]

WOW WOW Kelli--I love it! It looks beautiful--your layout AND Alishaw's picture. The quote is perfect. How come you are so fast at scrappin'?

Now, you need a little girl:)

Thank you Kim!! You always make me feel good! And yes, I agree!! I do need a little girl!! :)

[scrapy]

Wow Kelli that is cute, a sure scraplift.

[chryslergreen]

Here's my photos... whoever does them I will email the journaling along with the high res photos, since I'm not exactly sure yet. These are my cub scout boys, aren't they cute? (I'm the primary prez in our ward.)

So - this means I'm doing yours, right Kelli? I'll pm you my email.

[LucyLu]

I will do Lynette's ... Here are mine... I e mail the hig res... and I need to think about the journaling ... so i can send that with the pictures

[Alishaw]

Kelli, Kelli, Kelli!! I LOVE IT!! It is beautiful! I love it!! Can't wait to get my high res copy. Thank you so much. I love the quote too.

[RubySass]

Great page Kelli! And great picture Alisha!

[Kelli West]

thanks!! It's all the photo!!! Alisha knows how to take a good picture!

[Alishaw]

Ok Jamie, so here's your page (unless you hate it, then it's not and I'll start over)
Let me know what you want in the place of the journaling. AND DUH, I just noticed your real date, so I'll get that switched too.

Everything from the Baby Kit on the new and fantastic Family Ties CD.

[Alishaw]

No Kelli-It's the adorable layout! I'm still working on taking good photos, but thank you kindly! You too Susan.

[supermombritt]

Lynette I love the photos. I am the counselor over scouts and it is a tough job. We have a ton of boys so pack meeting is crazy.

[supermombritt]

Dottie I will do yours. Here are my pics. I do 12x12 and I will send you the high res photos. Just send me your email address. You don't have to use all the pics, I just wanted to provide you with options. Journaling can talk about our trip to Disneyland and how fun it was to go with our cousins. We went in April 2008. Let me know if you need more details.

[supermombritt]

Dottie I sent you a PM with my email so you can send the high res photos.

[Kim Hansen]

Britt--are those your handsome boys? The two taller ones? They are darling.

[LucyLu]

britt.... will do when I get home tonight...

I love the Bug eyes...

[Jamie Hamblin]

Alisha! I LOve it. I seriously sat here with my mouth open reading that amazing journaling and scanning the entire LO! Thanks so much! WIll you send me the High-Res?

MUAH!


Kelli Great LO!

[Angie]

Okay, I want to play. But I am a bit intimidated. It is good to do things out of your comfort zone though, right?

Here is my picture. Who's do I get to do?

My picture is taken in March on Easter. It is my kids Jonathan and Autumn. They are so cute together. I wanted a quote or saying talking about a cute brother/sister relationship. Autumn just adores her big brother. And Jonathan will dote on his little sister. So something along those lines.

My books are 8x8 (so either that or a 12x12 will be great!)

[Jamie Hamblin]

I think you will do dotties... but she hasn't posted her pictures yet!?

[jessie97]

Here is mine.
Size: 12x12

This is a picture of my kids with there cousin when she was just a few days old. So something about cousins.

[supermombritt]

Angie you do mine (Brittany-Disneyland photos) and then Lisa will do yours.

Kim those are my boys and thanks for saying that. I love them so much and they are at the age when we can talk about things and they are almost like mini adults (but still like kids too).

[Kelli West]

Alisha, the LO you did for Jaime is GORGEOUS!!!!! SO very cute!! You did a great job!!

[LucyLu]

Alisha, Kelli... you guys are awesome... great layouts

[Jamie Hamblin]

Kelli ... I know huh!? I can't wait to get it via email! :)

[Shellie]

Kelli and Alisha those are beautiful. The quotes on both got me all teary eyed.

[Jenny McDonald]

Wow! These are some great layouts!

[A-to-Z]

Very cute layouts everyone!!! I may just have to join in...I just need to decide on some pictures. Maybe my graduation ones!! :)

[Kim Hansen]

Kim those are my boys and thanks for saying that. I love them so much and they are at the age when we can talk about things and they are almost like mini adults (but still like kids too).

What are their names? I love the eyes and cheeks on your youngest one.

[Kim Hansen]

Lisa - LOVE it! I love the bright colors!

[Kelli West]

Lisa that page is sooooo adorablely beautiful!! I love how you placed everything, and the colors you chose!!

[caulensmom]

Oh Lisa I LOVE your layout! The colors are truley amazing! Fabulous job:)

[supermombritt]

Cute page Lisa. I love the layered look of everything.

[Alishaw]

Lisa, very cute! Love all the papers and layers.

[Angie]

Thanks Lisa! I do love it. It is really fun to see what you did for the page. I started a page with that picture but it of course was all different. I especially love all the colors. It is so cool to see someone else's creativity. Okay...so how do I get the full version from you? Do I need to email you the high res picture or do you send me the LO without the picture and I plug it in? My email is: angie@digitalscrapbookmemories.com

Also Brittany...I haven't got to yours yet...but I haven't forgotten!

Also I have to say Lynnette that I LOVE that LO you did of Father and Son! (Lynnette is my sister-in-law...if only we were blood related I could say that maybe I inheritated her talent too).

[supermombritt]

Don't worry. I have not started Dottie's either. I get stumped for a few days and then I get a brilliant idea.

[Jenny McDonald]

Here is your page Amy! If you don't like it then I'll redo it. Seriously, I want you to be happy with it so please tell me if you want me to change ANYTHING!
Paper: Irene Alexeeva "Get Kitty"
Word art: Irene Alexeeva "Get Doggy"
frame: DSM Oh Boy! "All Natural"
Journal spot: DSM Flower Patch

[Jamie Hamblin]

Cute Jenny!

[Kelli West]

Jenny that is so cute!! You did a fantastic job!!

[Kelli West]

ok, so I switched some things around, and tried something else. You can tell me which one you like better!

[Jamie Hamblin]

Oh man, I'm glad i'm not alisha.... i couldn't decide!

[dovegirl]

Hey Kelli, both cute, but I think I like the 1st one best!!!!

[Kim Hansen]

Jenny, love the bone and the bow wow--perfect dog page.

Kelli--wow! a choice of two pages? You're spoiling Alisha:) She deserves it tho; I too, like the first one, but they're both really nice.

Missy, glad to see you back; now, where's Alyson and that Digi girl that was going to have a baby; has anyone heard. It's not Digimad, but the other digi--fer fer or something. And remember Jessica, that quit smoking when she found out she was pregnant. I miss Sharzi too. Susie Q where are you? There's many other too--come back come back:)

[Kelli West]

I was just thinking the same thing Kim. Where did they all go? I miss their comments! I want to know how they are all doing. Lets all send them messages!

[Kim Hansen]

and Brookie Wookie! I know she's busy, but she shouldn't put us on hold:) We need an update from her.

[bugsleaves]

As I sit here and try and grasp the idea of scrapping someone else pics scares me to death. Kelli and Alishaw your pages rock!! Your pictures are amazing. I'll try and relax and take the challange soon Cassie

[bugsleaves]

For give me everyone i didn't go to the end of the thread before posting my message. I'll learn!! All the pages and picture are unbelieveable. I'll have to grab a gut and dive into scrap swaping. This Forum is WAY talented. thanks for all the inspiration. Cassie

[Jenny McDonald]

Your so cute Cassie. I'm glad your here.

[Kelli West]

Thanks Cassie. You are sweet!! You should join in! Is it too late to? I cna't remember!

[lanz]

I think everyones layouts are great. Sorry I have posted that earlier. I would really like to join in a scrapswap one of these months. We are getting ready to have a baby (hopefully Monday), so I didn't join this month. You all are great! Maybe next time I'll have some fun new baby pictures that I can post.

[Kim Hansen]

Lana, how exciting. :cheer: Let us know and post pictures.

[Alishaw]

Casse, no need to be nervous. It's not a contest, just a fun way to get outside your scrappin box and work on a different subject.
Cute page Jenny! Love the tacks.
Kelli I love them both-can I have 2? If you don't mind, I'll want them!

[Kelli West]

yeah, no prob Alisha. I just sometimes do a page, then sit and look at it and wonder what else I could have done! who knows, maybe I will do a third!! lol... :)

[rizkid22]

ha ha ha Kelli. Your a funny kid. Lana, congrats and I hope that everything goes well with you and your baby. I always want to do the scrap swap, but I always miss the deadlines. I'm an idiot!:p

[Jamie Hamblin]

Here you go Jenny..... I can change anything you don't like...

[Kim Hansen]

Jaime--perfect! So cute!

[Jenny McDonald]

I'm in love with it! Thank you so much! I'll pm you my e-mail. I love it! I can't wait to show Aaron! Your the best! I can't stop giving you compliments! I love it so much!

[Kelli West]

Jamie that is so cute! I love the colors you used, and the wording!! Great job!!

[Jamie Hamblin]

I was really having a hard time with this one... but the more i played with it the more i hated it. Has anyone ever experienced this too?

[Kelli West]

yes, several time actually!! I hate it when I have been working on a page and it seems that the more I try to make it look better, the worse it gets!

[chryslergreen]

I was really having a hard time with this one... but the more i played with it the more i hated it. Has anyone ever experienced this too?

YES! More often than not, unfortunately...
But your page is awesome! I think it is so cute!!

[Alishaw]

Cute page Jamie! I especially like the bracket and 3/4 line around the photos.

[LucyLu]

darling page Jamie

[LucyLu]

Lynette,

Here is your Pinewood Derby Layout... It is always scary to scrap for someone else... never sure if they will like it or not...

Let me know if you would like me to make any changes.

Dottie

ps DSM Playground, OH Boy and Family Ties
pss this is my first layout with new tablet... how fun it is

[Kelli West]

Dottie that page is so cute!! I love how you wrote the journaling on the paper, it all is so cute!!!

[supermombritt]

Dottie here is your page. I can change anything you don't like. I tried some actions on it so that was new to me. I am not a skiier so I don't know what would be great on a skiing page. I really won't be offended if you want to change anything on it. I am very scared to post each page I do for the swaps. I don't want anyone to not participate for fear that they will have me doing their page.

[supermombritt]

Dottie I can send you the high res file so you can see it better to decide if you want anything changed.

[chryslergreen]

Dottie - I LOVE it! I think the background paper you chose is perfect, along with the paint, the wordart, the little screws, everything! Thanks so much! I know what you mean, it is a little scary to do a layout for someone else. But I love it! Send me the high res version when you get a chance.

[Kelli West]

Brittanyh, that is super vute! You should NOT be afraid to post. You do da very good job!! Dottie will love it!

[Kim Hansen]

Dottie and Brittany---THUMBS UP! Great work.

[LucyLu]

Brittany I love it ... send me a hig res ... on the thumb nail the picture of us looks a bit stretched out... I love the choice in colors and papers.. thank you it is a keeper

[Angie]

It is funny how we are all so scared to scrap for someone else. What silly girls we are! I can relate to the feeling but we shouldn't be so worried what others think. We are all good people still even if others don't like our pages, right? (Big Smile!) Plus every page on here is so cute! It is fun to see other styles of scrapping. Now I say this but I still have to post my page for Brittany...it's coming!

[Alishaw]

Easy for you to say Angie-you are amazing!! And very smart...it is about the different styles and levels of everyone. I think it's fun to stretch ourselves a bit.
Dottie-very cute (tough subject-I think)
Britt-adorable-love the frostiness

[Angie]

It isn't easy for me to say...I am just the professional beginner. I teach all the beginner classes and so I never seem to move past the basics. Ha!

But that is what I mean. It is so fun to see different styles and levels and creativity. So don't be scared to share! As women we are too worried what others will think.

[Jenny McDonald]

Angie, you're layouts are great! I have no idea what your talking about. I'd be honored if you'd do a layout for me.

[A-to-Z]

Great layouts!

[Angie]

:cheer: Brittnay! I finished your page! Can you believe it? Here is it! And just before the deadline. I didn't know the kids names so I made up some...obviously I will change that when you let me know what there real names are. And I will need to get the full res picture from you. If you want anything changed I would be happy to make it fit your needs!

[Jenny McDonald]

Angie that is an awesome layout! I love it. You can mine next time okay?

[digimad]

Very cute Angie. I love the colors you chose!:cheer:

[Kelli West]

Angie that LO is so cute!! I love how you did the pictures on theside with the tags next to them!

[chryslergreen]

I love this Angie! I am in the midst of doing my Disney album and this is such a cute idea - I'm might just steal it!

[peetie]

I'm definately going to steal it! We went to Disneyland last year and I'm trying to get all the pages done. Very cute.

[supermombritt]

Angie I love it. I have been out of town so I couldn't comment earlier. I will send you the high res pic and the real names. YOu were close on one of them. Thanks for the super cute page.

[Alishaw]

Very cute Angie! Love the Disney font!

[Kim Hansen]

Angie--nice work! Let's all go to Disneyland:) I wish!
