HELLO fellow Canadian Cricuteers!
We are preparing to start our 3rd Canadian swap. Our latest swap theme will be Easter and spring. I know Easter will be over by the time we're done, but I love the idea!
All cuts are to be under 4 inches so that they fit on a A2 card. (Can you tell I'm a card maker, not a scrapbooker?BigGrin )

RULES: Thank you GeeMommy for the rule template!

1. If you can only make one bunch then do that. Don’t sign up for more than you can do. No flakers please!
2. You make 5 cuts and send all 5 for each slot you sign up for. It makes it easier to sort.
3. Cuts need to be less than 4" in all directions. This way they'll be great for card making.
4. Minimum 2 layers on your cut. You may add glitter, rhinestones, feathers, flocking, embossing, whatever you'd like if you so choose.
5. When you sign up, please let me know which cuts you'll be making (and what cartridges they come from) to help avoid duplicates.
6. Place each group of cuts in a sandwich bag with your real name, MB name, group name, cut and cartridge it came from. You will need to do this for every slot you join.
7. In addition to the cuts you send you need to include a self addressed envelope and enough postage to return the cuts (usually what it costs you to ship to me plus a couple of extra stamps). I'll send back any extra stamps in your envelope.
8. You can use any Cricut cartridge to make cuts.
9. The due date for this swap will be March 31
10. Mandatory check in dates are every two weeks:

Feb 24 Smile
Mar 3 BigGrin
Mar 17 Woot

Mailed Wink
Received Wub

To keep everything manageable for us all, each group will be capped at 5, BUT I will add additional groups as needed

Spring Floral (anything "springy" including a flower)
1)Larmabee - Songbird (bird on a pussywillow branch - does that count as a flower?)
2)PatV - Celebrate with Flourish - bunny
3)Geemommy - Cindy Loo - Paisley 2
4)LadyBug - Bloom - Flower Window Box
5)Dugspookie - 3 Birds on Parade - pg 29

Easter (bunnies, eggs, crosses, etc.)
1)Larmabee Inspired Heart (church 1)
2)PatV - Art Nouveau - Dafodil 2
3)Geemommy - Easter 2010 - Easter Egg
4)LadyBug - Folk Art Festival - bunny
5)Dugspookie - Cricut Alphabet - pg 23

Okay - ready set go!

I want a flower/spring spot... I have to go look at my carts, but something from either Cindy Loo or Florals Embellished. I'm debating on the Easter swap, really just waiting to see if a second spring group opens up Wink

EDIT: I'll do Paisley2 from Cindy Loo. And I'll do an Easter egg from Easter 2010 for the Easter group. I just couldn't say no! Laugh

Larmabee --- I worded my design incorrectly. Instead of flower basket, I should've said:-

* flower window box

Hey people, come join us!! We're a great little swap. Pictures will be going up on the last swap shortly. I just want to make sure everyone gets their cuts before I post so that I don't ruin the surprise for anyone.

Hello everyone - Hopefully I've got my little confusion all sorted out. Looks like there are only 4 of us this time around. That's okay though Smile

I haven't started my cuts yet, but I will. I've been busy with so many other projects.

Hello Larmabee,
after some thought and some coaxing from a dear swap participant if it's not too late i will do the following cuts: ( need some stress release from work so a swap might be a good idea)
Easter: 3 birds on parade: pg 29
Spring: Cricut Alphabet: pg 23

If it's ok then add me to the list if not i will catch the next swap.
Thank you so much and sorry for the confusion and i will get them done up and send them your way BigGrin

Welcome back Dugspookie! I'm so happy you changed your mind! We really need to get together so you can get your other package... Email me, but maybe Wed afternoon again? Or are you working late too often these days? If so, I can try to bring them to you this coming weekend. My husband has been working a lot of weekends lately, but he has this next one off.
