I am updating descriptions in word processor and will transfer here.
8 per person
8 weeks
due to me April 5, 2013
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Some Ideas for Items - it doesn't have to be from this list, but you get the idea.
Deco Squares: 2 per person if 2.25” x 2.25” or larger, otherwise 3 per person at 2”x2”. Each square to have two embellishments (inking edges does count as one, same with spraying with glimmer mist or something similar)
Photo Mat requirements: 1 per person if it can hold a standard 4x6 photo (must show at least 1” around the photo); 2 per person if designed for smaller photos.
Paper Piecing requirements: 4” in length or width. (it can be larger, but no smaller please). At least four pieces. If you choose something that is only one piece, remember you can add to it. Ex: I created a three piece flower and added a garden sign for the fourth piece. As long as they are attached, it counts.
Embellishment Baggie: This is an option for all weeks, however, please don’t do more than two per round. This is for those weeks when time is just getting away from you. Minimal requirements are: 1 yard of fiber or ribbon, 2-4 buttons (depends on size), 4-6 brads (size affects), plus three more items (not all the same) of your choice. Ex: sending three pieces of bling does not count as three items, but as one.
License plate requirements: One per person if dimensions are at least 2” x 4”; otherwise 2 per person. Two layers and either 4 brads or other items required for the corners. Please be sure to round the corners like real license plates.
Bead Spray Requirements: At least 3 beads and 2 flowers required. Bead Spray to be a minimum of 5” in length or width.
Mini-Album page – at least two embellishments, minimum size 3” x 3”
Greeting Card – if you create a standard size of 4.25” x 5.5” card, no envelopes are required. Please include an envelope if you create any other size.
Paper clips - two of the jumbo (2.25" clips) per person, three of the standard size per person, four of the miniature per person, one of the super size (over 3") per person. Note: when assembling, if you are not using hot glue, please use a glue dot on both sides of the paper clip, otherwise they tend to come apart in the mail and stick to all sorts of things.

Same as earlier rounds - Round 5 was terrific
Week One - Hexagon Shapes. Create something that is either a hexagon shape or contains hexagon shapes. This is open to interpretation. Based on the wonderful projects submitted in the prior round, there are no specific requirements other than as listed above.
Week Two - White. Any item, but white should be the prominent color.
Week Three - Graphic 45. Create a paper item using predominately Graphic 45 papers. You can use cardstock as well.
Week Four - String. No WTHeck things here
String isn't as tough as it sounds. Incorporate something like bakers twine, embroidery floss, yarn, etc - something stringy.
Week Five - Squirrel Appreciation Day is January 21st. Let's create something with squirrels in mind. No need to limit to just paper piecings - the sky is the limit - there are many types, sizes, foods, living quarters, etc..
Week Six - Four. In honor of the four leaf clover, create something that has to do with the number four or has four of something or maybe even four inchies. Your choice, just think back to Sesame Street days and what types of things relate to the number four.
Week Seven - Choice. This is the week to try something new. You can create anything you like for the group (other than food - sorry) and have fun doing so. It is the perfect time to try that new tool or technique you have in your stash and want to give a go (who knows, maybe those no longer brand new gamsol supplies get a good look this month ROFL or maybe the new stamp set or that new stack that just 'had' to be purchase or better yet - some new folding technique or wonderful new cutter, etc.. Or am I alone in this buy it and not yet tried it department?)
Week Eight - Take it easy and create a journal item to coordinate with one of the previous weeks. It can be an individual item or it can have a pocket - no requirements other than it must be 3" in at least one direction

Rule reminders from last round:
Rules/FAQ’s
1. Please mail on time. I understand that life happens. If it happens to you, please be sure to communicate, communicate, communicate. You can send me pm’s or emails, but please keep me informed if you are running late.
2. Include return postage equal to what you send plus about $1 more in stamps. Some ladies like to include $ .05, .10, .03 stamps so I can be as exact as possible – or use flat rate priority. Even cash is ok, but be aware that I only return change if it is $ .25 or more.
3. Sign up is for all 8 weeks. If you live near a buddy and want to split everything, that is fine, but I expect everything in a single mailing and labeled as if it is from a single individual. You will only receive the items back from a single spot (that is all you send as well - items as if you are participating on your own)
4. FOLLOW ALL RULES regarding swap make up. I post them so we are all on the same page when it comes to how to create our items.
5. Use quality cardstock or multiple layers if it isn’t great cardstock. This swap works well to use up your stash, but remember you need to do multiple layers if the cardstock is thin to make a quality piece. Only send work you are proud of and would use for yourself.
6. Patterned paper is allowed – but same as above. If it is thin, you will need to use more than one layer.
7. Two layers, minimum, are required for all projects.
8. Specific rules for specific pieces can be found under each heading (ex: sizes for photo mats, etc.)
9. Embellishments: each piece is to be embellished twice. What counts? Almost anything – inking the edges, bling, ribbon, glimmer mist, glossy accents, flowers, buttons, rub-ons, etc.. The only one that doesn’t – flat stickers.
10. Mailing date – please mail to arrive to me by date indicated above. DC is nice, but not required.
11. Ask any questions you have. Some weeks I may have limited access to internet, but I usually manage to check at least once a day.
12. HAVE FUN! Be creative! Try something new!
