Planner Swap

[Sandra from NC]

Planner Swap - Make 13 (6x6) double pages for a month. Left side is decorated and right side holds the calendar and can also be decorated. On the side where the binding will be leave 1/2 for it so the rings won't cut into the calendar or decorations. When you request a month, also say if you would like your pages bound before being sent back to you.

Here's the October page I did for a prior swap....

October 2009 (http://visualdesignsbychris.com/forum/album.php?albumid=5&pictureid=24)

OH the cool thing about these... I save the page that doesn't have the calendar on it and use it in a mini album later:).

Pages due by Dec 4 so they can be rebundled and mailed back out the next week. Include return postage with your pages. I will PM everyone my address once the swap is filled.

Sounds like fun, I've never needed a planner before, but I'd join this one, it would make a good Christmas gift.
Pam in SD

[gadgetgrl]

I'm in if there is enough interest.

[sarahwms]

I'm in! Do we choose the month or do you draw for them? If we're choosing, I'd like July please!

[scramper75]

This would be an awesome swap but I am over my head now and wish we could do this in January, when i would have more time.

*** Ok i may do this but need more info :)***
I am a huge sucker for swaps.

[ChrisDurnan]

Oh I need some clarification...
I am liking this idea... I make a 6x6 with fun stuff for the month on the left and attach the calendar on a 6x6 on the right?
let me know.

woohoo!
I am digging the swaps.
Chris

[rjjfulton]

I'd like to hear the answer to Chris's question. Not able to wrap my head around it. Sounds like fun!
Jennifer

[sussann]

more details please, sounds really neat!

Chris

You got it! I forgot to bring mine home to scan but it you look at the picture I linked you can barely see the calendar on the right side.

It will open like a book and have "fun stuff" on the left and the calendar page on the right. It is best to leave about 1/2 inch where the two pages meet to bind it if you want. This year one girl printed her calendar template on clear thin something - lol. it looks really cool. You can glue or staple you calendar on the page. This idea originated several years ago by a friend that found one for sale on ebay. She's actually a member here now:).

OH - I found a better picture of both pages. Does that help?

Moved picture to first post.

[Sandra from NC]

I'm in! Do we choose the month or do you draw for them? If we're choosing, I'd like July please!

You got it!

[Sandra from NC]

Here's what I'd like to do. Have everyone get their pages to me Dec 4. I can use that weekend to rebundle them and mail them back the next week. That give people like me time to bind them and have them ready for early Christmas gifts.

Doing your individual pages really goes quickly if you do them assemble line :).

I've started a list in the first post. Trust me this is going to be a challenge for me too to get them done. I've never done covers before :eek:.

[paminsd]

Put me down for October if it's still available.
Pam in SD

May I have MAY please??? (hehehe)

I am going to put this on my blog tomorrow to see if we can fill it. Such a cute idea!

[BelovedKeepsakes]

Ah - Chris - Jennifer asked for Feb before you did!!! Bahahha!!!!

You need to sign up faster!!

Lori

[ChrisDurnan]

Dang right at the same minute!

[ChrisDurnan]

Okay how about October for me!

[paminsd]

I beat you on Oct. Chris! LOL But if you want it I can give it up! :)

[ChrisDurnan]

Okay then i think I will just sit here and wait!!! hahaha. no biggy I can take any month really.

When I get back I'll try to edit that first thread to get them all listed then pick one!

[Games]

I updated the first post.:D

[ChrisDurnan]

Quick sign me up for March. If we are short one I can see if I can fill another spot.

It is sad that I am at the dentist waiting room and because we do their computers I can work on their net. haha. love it. The waiting room here is pure luxury. It has a tv and entertainment center and couch and plants and it's like a living room with a corner area with video games for the kids. All antique furniture. so nice. ahhh.. okay I am rambling I better work.

Sign me up QUICK _____ MARCH _____

Entered

[ChrisDurnan]

Thank You Ginger!! I was scared to do it. haha

[Games]

Got you Chris! Welcome!

[gadgetgrl]

sign me up for November..

thanks

entered

[Games]

I added Tina to Nov.


Now before you all go asking me to join. I'll say NO! I don't use a paper planner. I have a older day-runner and hardly ever used it. PC and Palm pilot did all my planning, then the phone, and now the blackberry. The only person I could gift it to has a HUGE planner. So, 6x6 would work either. But I do like seeing your creations. :D

[ChrisDurnan]

I think I am going to give mine to mine away as I use outlook. However, I will rpobably mark all the birthdays in it first for the family for a new in-law. hmm.. thinking thinking

[gadgetgrl]

I am just joining cause it sounds good. I plan to just use mine as a display in my office.. LOL will never likely write on it. All my appts are in my head.. LOL thank goodness there aren't many.

[sarahwms]

I am just joining cause it sounds good. I plan to just use mine as a display in my office.. LOL will never likely write on it. All my appts are in my head.. LOL thank goodness there aren't many.

IN YOUR HEAD?!?!?!? man, I would NEVER get anywhere at the right time if I counted on memory!!! I'm in awe, Tina!

I have everything in Outlook, which downloads to my phone....then I have them written on a calendar mousepad....plus I have a calendar planner....AND I STILL FORGET!!! I may need two of these...one for me and one as a gift! HHHMMM.....

[Sandra from NC]

May I have MAY please??? (hehehe)


(and how many do you we need to make?? Oh and we are basing these on American holidays/themes right??)

Lori

Lori - you need to make 13 (12 months and the cover person) And yes American holidays/themes).

[BelovedKeepsakes]

Thanks Sandra!!!

Lori

[Sandra from NC]

You girls are cracking me up!!!

Ginger thanks for updating the first post with the signups.

Sarah PM'd me a great suggestion and offered to do it but I have a bind it all so I'll offer... Anyone that doesn't have a bind-it-all and would like theirs bound just say so. We can put it beside your name in the sign up list so I won't forget who. I have tons of o-rings, black, red and white:).

AND if we get enough interest and fill up we can do two! Because I really want two for gifts and wouldn't mind doing three. This will be the first year I don't keep one if I only do two. I would have to ask Sarah to host the second one so she could bind some - lol.

AND FYI - I don't use mine except to "display" on my desk at work. I do look up dates in it but never write in it. It's too pretty to write on - lol.

[BelovedKeepsakes]

Oh - I want mine binded please!! (As I don't have a bind it all - isn't that right Elizabeth?!?!! Bahahaha!!!)

Thanks!!!!

Lori

[ChrisDurnan]

I agree Sarah I am in awe as well of Tina. I have pretty much the same setup as Sarah. with multiple places. I even have a calendar in the bathroom so when my hubby "has a seat" the calendar is in front of him and highlights all the birthdays and the weekend events. So he is slightly aware of the schedule. haha. And he has started to remember to call his family on their birthdays. He is getting better about it then me. If I could put a pen station with notecards maybe he could write out the holiday cards. hahaha. okay that might be pushing it. I love one specific calendar and it is always on my holiday list. It escapes me right now. dang it. I wanna susan clark. but I'd have to look at it.

Also, I went to lunch at Sweet tomatoes today and they had a menu roll on the table that was a metal square base . Two small rods of metal came up vertically and a bar was welded across the top horizontally and with binder rings holding it up. I immediately thought of this. I took a picture. My hubby said he could make it for me if I can't find them. So I might doing mine with hanging like that. have to think on it . I will post the picture tomorrow when I get it off my camera.

You guys are all awesome!

Okay I am rambling.
Enjoy!
Chris

[paminsd]

Oh, we were going to go to Sweet Tomato when I was there, but just ran out of time.
I would love to have my planner bound, and even pay for the supplies. Thanks
Pam in SD

[gadgetgrl]

No need to be in awe ladies. The only things I have appts for is docs, dentist and hair appts. I lead a pretty boring life now that the kids are almost grown. Work then home then work then home.. so not much to remember..

My hubby keeps a calendar using calendar creator but I never use it.. LOL

[Sandra from NC]

We still have some months open for others to join :).


I started the covers today:). I'll post one as soon as I get one completed.

[BelovedKeepsakes]

Are we suppose to get a calender template? Or just come up with our own??

[sussann]

Okay, I think I have to have one of these. Would you sign me up for January please? And did I read that you will be sending a calendar template out for these? Will it be a cutter file, or a print file? Oh, and do the base pages need to be a certain color to match other people's pages, or is variety okay?

These swaps have been fun!!! Thanks for bringing it over Sandra!

Add Melody to this spot because I really should just do one!

[rjjfulton]

I don't get on the computer much on the weekends. That may have to change. You get behind when you don't check pretty regularly. I would love to have mine bound. I haven’t broken down and bought a bind it all yet, it's on my wish list. I apprecaite it! I haven't seen the template for the calendar yet. Did I miss that as well? Thanks!
Jennifer

[ChrisDurnan]

Sandra tried to send it to me to post but it wasn't attached. will get it up here. :-)

[luv2bmamaw]

Is all months filled??? I would like to get in on this.. any of the months left will be fine.. January, June, whatever is left. And when sending template, we will also need addy to send these to, right? This is certainly something different and new to me... sounds like a lot of fun!! :D

>>>>I will need my binded too, and will pay for any expenses.. any color.


MELODY - is June

[ChrisDurnan]

Melody you can have my June! I don't need two. :-)

[Sandra from NC]

there are still several months left so Chris you get to keep June :p

I updated the first post. Melody you have January.

I took a 3rd spot since I plan to give 2 away. Pray for me - lol - I need to stay out of challenges the next two months now;). I will also give one up if another wants to join.

I have an email out to a friend that wanted to do one on the other site. She is working alot lately and hasn't checked in. I may need to call her. That would fill the last spot if no one else from here wants it.

September is left.

[ChrisDurnan]

I think elizabeth wanted September. have to go back to page 5 there were a bunch of signups there.

[ChrisDurnan]

And sussann wanted January. I think you missed page 5 posts. But honestly. I missed a bunch before too!! hahaha. So it isn't up to me.

[ChrisDurnan]

I just Added the template to the first post folks it is a word doc. if anyone needs a pdf I can convert!! woohoo!

[luv2bmamaw]

And sussann wanted January. I think you missed page 5 posts. But honestly. I missed a bunch before too!! hahaha. So it isn't up to me.

LOL!!! I think, and I could be wrong, but April hasn't been spoken for.. so put me down for April...???
OOps, no Sandra you wanted that, right?

(Ok .. stop the press! someone help! update! update! LOLOLOLOL!! :D)

[luv2bmamaw]

I just Added the template to the first post folks it is a word doc. if anyone needs a pdf I can convert!! woohoo!

Wouldn't ya know, Chris, I do need pdf-------yep, I'm the trouble-maker!! LOL
But hey, I did try to load and open first...:p

[ChrisDurnan]

I will switch it later Melody. I am gonna try and update, but I screw up sometimes to. so here goes.

[ChrisDurnan]

I went through each post one by one and I think I got them all. My changes are in blue. I am not sure if we need a show of hands for a second set, but might have a hard time filling that. I could advertise it a bit more. let me know. If this isn't correct let me know. I think I got them all. wew

[sarahwms]

I don't have to do two months....but if we get enough interest for another swap, I would be more than happy to host and bind those that want them bound!

[ChrisDurnan]

OKay Folks I have posted a second swap because Sarah offered. (woohoo!) If it gets full it will be a go. Please sign up quickly for those who are interested. I will advertise it on my blog and yahoo group this weekend for anyone who wants to jump in.

Please make sure you send it to the right hostess.

[scramper75]

This is awesome. I will get started on mine this weekend if I have time, lots going on and lots of homework.

[cropangel]

i would love to do this and would even do 2 spots if need to fill it as i have ideas now that i am done with my recipes...

Sheryl

i would like to put down for July if doing two would do november also

[ChrisDurnan]

Sheryl which two months do you want. I will put your name and see if it fills.
Enjoy!
Chris

[cropangel]

chris i will do july and november i hope it does fill up but understand if it does not.

Sheryl

[sussann]

Question - would the second set of calendars need to have different layouts/designs for them? Or could I use the same design for both swaps? Just thinking out loud here...

[ChrisDurnan]

same would be okay it is going to two different hostesses. ewww. good point hmm.

[sussann]

I was thinking that if someone was in each swap, chances are they were doing it to get a second one to get a gift for a friend/family member so I didn't know if the same layout would matter or not.

[ChrisDurnan]

well I would consider them each seperate swaps since we have seperate hostesses. I don't think the same layout would matter. just my humble opinion.

Chris

[sarahwms]

I agree...doing them the same would work for me also! I mean, how many people would need two planners for themselves? Although choosing which to keep and which to give away WILL be hard...cause they will be different anyways -- since different people will be doing different months!

[sussann]

thanks, Chris, that's kind of what I was thinking too.

[luv2bmamaw]

Ok, with this being said, I will jump in on 2nd one, to help get it filled. :)
And JUNE for this one as well (that way I won't get confused.. well, maybe not.. Ha!) Old age sucks!!! :p

[Sandra from NC]

OH THANK YOU CHRIS for cleaning this up:).

[Sandra from NC]

Give Sarah the April spot in the first swap if she sill wants it and put me down for the December spot in the second swap. If Sarah doesn't want it, then I'll keep it.

Planner Swap - Make 13 (6x6) double pages for a month. Left side is decorated and right side holds the calendar and can also be decorated. On the side where the binding will be leave 1/2 for it so the rings won't cut into the calendar or decorations. When you request a month, also say if you would like your pages bound before being sent back to you.

Here's the October page I did for a prior swap....

October 2009 (http://visualdesignsbychris.com/forum/album.php?albumid=5&pictureid=24)

OH the cool thing about these... I save the page that doesn't have the calendar on it and use it in a mini album later:).

Pages due by Dec 4 so they can be rebundled and mailed back out the next week. Include return postage with your pages. I will PM everyone my address once the swap is filled.

[sarahwms]

Sandra,

You can keep it...hopefully the second swap will get filled also and then I'll have one from each! Thanks though!

Did you still want December in the second one?

[rlovew]

I would like February in the 2nd one.

I would like a 2nd month as well but it doesn't matter what so I am happy to let everyone else sign up and then get the leftover month. I will look through my paper and see if I have something that would be good for an open month and post that.

Rebecca

[scramper75]

I have a question for those participating in the first swap...

Do you (or if you are giving it away as a gift) have anyone that celebrates something other than Christmas (i.e. Hanukkah, Kwannza, etc.). I am planning out my part of the swap [December] and do want to offend anyone if i decorate it in a Christmas theme. Please let me know if you do celebrate something else and i can do yours different and let sandra know which one is for who.

[sarahwms]

In order to get the second one filled....I also belong to a private scrapping forum....does anyone mind if I post it there to see if there are any more takers?

Yes - If Rebecca will take April in the 1st swap, I'll take December:).

I think that is a great idea Sarah.

Swap ONE Preview:D... Here are two of the front covers. the back has the same material on it.

[scramper75]

WOW those are sooo cool :)

[rlovew]

[QUOTE=Sandra from NC;16442]Rebecca - would you like April in the first swap? Then you would have two? I'd like to do December in the 2nd swap.


Sure I will do April in the first swap along with February in the 2nd- I know without looking I have tons of Feb paper- I collect it like candy.

If we end up needing it even with those 2 groups I would be willing to do another in the 2nd swap as well.

Rebecca

[Sandra from NC]

WOW those are sooo cool :)\\

Thanks Elizabeth! It wasn't an original idea:). The "cover lady" used cloth in a prior planner swap. I went to a cloth store and saw this first thing. And after looking through the whole store I came back to it - lol. I usually do go with my first choice.

[gadgetgrl]

I have my first swap done and I am working on my second.. Can you PM me with where to send them. I hope to have the 2nd set done by this weekend.

Thanks

[scramper75]

Oh fine rub it in that you are almost done Tina...hahahahahahahha

[gadgetgrl]

What can I say I am file creating brain dead so I thought I would do something else productive.. Just hope they are well received.. LOL

I hate to be late.. and worse yet never want to be a Flake..

[scramper75]

Tina, i am sure we will love them, i am excited and can not wait to get mine started and done.

[gadgetgrl]

has the 2nd swap gotten more participants? I have finished my pages for this swap also and if I need to take another spot I am game. Just curious how this is going.

Tina

[ChrisDurnan]

Wow Tina. You are on it. i am going to work on items today. If I can get caught up I am gonna take another spot to to fill it. :-) But have to see how my current items get done.

Enjoy!
Chris

[ChrisDurnan]

I think we need a cut off for the second to be full or not. KWIM?

[gadgetgrl]

I think thats a good idea.. Making them was super fun and they go really quick once you decide on a design. I have November for the first and October for the second so it was really easy to think of what to do.

I really hope the second one fills up too! These will make great gifts and unique ones too! How neat to get a gift from someone and for it to be handmade by many people. I just think that is so cool.

If you haven't signed up for a slot in either calendar yet now is the time come join us in calendar 2.

[sarahwms]

I agree with putting an end date on signing up for the second planner swap...how about Nov 15th? I've posted it on the other site so we'll see if we get any interest from there...

The second Planner Swap has the following months still open:
January
April
May
Aug
Sept

THANKS!

[luv2bmamaw]

Have I missed where to dl the template for the calendar?? I know I couldn't read from the DOC dl

[ChrisDurnan]

I'll do it here in a bit Melody and add it and post a bump :-)

[ChrisDurnan]

It's uploaded Bump! PDF version of calendar

Ok, so i am assuming everyone is ok with the Christmas theme I have planned for the December spot in the first swap, I have not heard otherwise.... I bought the paper for that part this afternoon and plan on getting it done this coming weekend. I have so many ideas running around this tiny brain of mine....lol

[ChrisDurnan]

I hope to do mine next week for both swaps. woohoo!

Pam - you send all the pages you make to the Hostess. She will divide them into calendars, bind the ones that have asked them to be bound then mail the completed calendar back to everyone.

Does that make sense? The hostess will have all the pages from everyone before she mails them back to everyone.

[Sandra from NC]

I'm so excited both of these filled!!!

I hope to get my KNK working again this weekend. Anyone going to be around to help me if I have problems after loading new driver software from the site? ;)

[ChrisDurnan]

I will be at Nascar wooohoo!. but I am sure someone will be around. Enjoy! Chris

[scramper75]

I will be around on Sunday, Saturday I am heading out of town to go and visit a very good friend :)

[Sandra from NC]

I will be around on Sunday, Saturday I am heading out of town to go and visit a very good friend :)

Elizabeth - it will be late Sat or maybe sunday afternoon before I can do it. Would you PM me your phone number so I can call if I have trouble:)? Thanks.

[Sandra from NC]

I will be at Nascar wooohoo!. but I am sure someone will be around. Enjoy! Chris

You know I live 15 min from Lowe's Motor Speedway right? ;)



PS - I got Tina's pages today :D they are so cute! Tina - did you post them somewhere? If not I will.

[ChrisDurnan]

I do know. We are headed to phx for the race and to see my brother. :-)

It is supposed to be yucky weather here. I am on an anti-sick binge here because we have so much going on over the next 4 weekends. then everyonec an be sick all christmas if they want. :-)

[gadgetgrl]

You know I live 15 min from Lowe's Motor Speedway right? ;)



PS - I got Tina's pages today :D they are so cute! Tina - did you post them somewhere? If not I will.

No but I can. Where do you want them. I wasn't sure if you wanted us to post them. Or you can do it if you want. I am not on that computer so I won't be able to do it until tomorrow. Just let me know. glad you liked

[Games]

Sandra, I should be around too. I'll be on and off the PC or you can call. ;) Wishing you the best of luck with no problems.

[Sandra from NC]

Sandra, I should be around too. I'll be on and off the PC or you can call. ;) Wishing you the best of luck with no problems.

Thanks Ginger - that would be great. Would you PM me your phone number?

[Games]

Sure thing! ;)

[Sandra from NC]

ATTN: Swap 1 participants... I have a slight delimna now. I am tentatively scheduled for surgery Dec 3. Just waiting for insurance to approve it and not expecting any trouble with that. SOOOOO - If you could get me your pages around Thanksgiving that would be AWESOME! I just found out about the surgery last week and it didn't occur to me that this swap was going to be affected until tonight:(. I'm so sorry.

I'm not expecting the surgery to be a major deal but then who am I to say - lol. It is jaw surgery to remove a cyst in my left jaw that is wearing a "divot" in my lower jaw joint. Doctor will also fill in the "divot". started having pain last summer from it.

[BelovedKeepsakes]

I don't think I can get mine done by then..... :(

Does someone want to take my place that can?!?!!

Lori

[scramper75]

Lori, do not feel bad, I will definitely not be able to have mine done by then either... So we have a huge dilemma now?? I can only work on mine during the weekend and I have my ideas sketched out need need to cut the titles and paper and gather supplies and do them. I don't want to drop out because I can't get them in by that time because I had already bought the supplies. so maybe I could mail mine individually to each person??? (with the holes for the BIA already of course.)

[sarahwms]

Hey guys...if you want, you can just mail them all to me! Just make sure that they are marked Planner Swap ONE or TWO!!

Does that work for everyone?

[sussann]

I'm agreeable to whatever, I'm not positive I can get mine to anyone before Thanksgiving, I work and nights/weekends are my only time to craft.

[Sandra from NC]

Hey guys...if you want, you can just mail them all to me! Just make sure that they are marked Planner Swap ONE or TWO!!

Does that work for everyone?

OH SARAH!!! That would be awesome!! And that is a great plan if it's OK with everyone else. I'm working on my pages for your swap first but I can get the others finished too.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! My surgery may turn out not to be so bad but I didn't want to take a chance.

Don't forget to send your address to everyone:)

[ChrisDurnan]

I was gonna work on them the weekend of thanksgiving and send out. So Sarah. ifyou are willing to take it on. Could you post it in the first post for the information.

And I think it would be understandable if you don't want to bind all of these. but that is just my two cents.

Hope the surgery goes well Sandra!

Enjoy!
Chris

[luv2bmamaw]

Okay Sarah!! You saved the day! =) So, Time deadline remains same, am I correct? DEC 4th??

And.... all (both sets), is mailed to Sarah! Got it! ;-)

Good luck with your surgery Sandra, hope all goes well with it.

Oh, and absolutely understandable, on the binding thing.. no need to try and take on all of them, with everything else to do. So, don't bind mine, ok? =)

[Sandra from NC]

I already have Tina's pages so will send hers along with mine. I also have o-rings I can send to help with tne binding of Swap 1:). If you don't want to bind just let me know.

Thanks everyone!

[scramper75]

That is awesome Sarah, you are an angel. i have o-rings as well if you need somemore to help with the binding. I know it can get kinda expensive binding all of these if you don't have enough o-rings.

[rlovew]

I would love to send both sets to the same person (saves on postage). I am cutting today as i was trying to get them done before the 2 trips I have before Thanksgiving and coming home to company but I didn't know if I would be able to get them out.

I don't have o-rings but will send along the money to pay for them as i would love to have mine bound and I don't have a machine (although I am thinking of putting it on my Christmas list).

Rebecca

[scramper75]

Rebecca, I can send Sarah some o-rings for you, to bind them, i have a ton of o-rings.

[ChrisDurnan]

The generosity and the helpfulness of those in this forum just amaze me! Wonderful.

[cs_in_ks]

Sarah, can you send us your info so that we can send our pages to you?

Also, cost for binding and mailing?

Carolyn

[scramper75]

Hey Sarah, I wonder how long it would take me to get to your house.. I could come and help you bind them all and package them up. If you want the help let me know, I love road trips. I would bring my BIA and o-rings :)

[ChrisDurnan]

Man I wish i could come that sounds like fun!

[scramper75]

Hey, I love parties :)

[sarahwms]

Hey Sarah, I wonder how long it would take me to get to your house.. I could come and help you bind them all and package them up. If you want the help let me know, I love road trips. I would bring my BIA and o-rings :)

Hey Elizabeth....it's only about a 5 hour trip! LOL ! As much as gas is these days, I'm not quite sure it's worth it! But THANKS for the offer!!! I'll con my DH to help...I just bought him a new laptop....he owes me!

[sarahwms]

Hi everyone!

My address has been sent to everyone except Doris C...who hasn't enabled her PM's! Doris, please enable your PM's and I will send the message to you.

THANKS!!

[cs_in_ks]

Thanks Sarah!

[Scrapbookinggoddess]

Can I get mine bound please!!

[sarahwms]

Can I get mine bound please!!

absolutely!

[Scrapbookinggoddess]

OK i started putting mine together today. i just need to design my files to cut and i am going to be good to go on these.

[scramper75]

Ok Sarah, but you cannot say I didn't offer :) Do you need more o-rings?? I can send some when I mail out my package to you.
** Should have read the PM first, guess you don't need any, but if you do let me know.

[Doris C]

Sarah, I think I enabled the private message option...........please try again to send me your address. I'm about ready to mail my September pages.

Do you have priority mailing envelopes to return the swap to me or do I need to send one with with my cards?

Also, could I get mine bound? I'll be glad to send $$ to cover the cost. I'm glad to be in this exchange. It's my first with this group.

Thank you, Doris

[scramper75]

oh Doris, you are going to love it!! I love doing swaps with these wonderfully talented ladies.

[sussann]

I'm trying to work on these tonight. I wanted to check first before I get started printing the calendar part. The document provided - is everyone just printing it as is on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, or is anyone resizing it? I didn't know if we needed to make it as large as we could and still fit on a 6x6, with the gutter for binding, or if we want them all uniform as is?

[sussann]

Oh, and do you want money for the postage or a stamp? I'm thinking the flat rate priority envelope? That way if the other pages are heavier than mine I won't short anyone on postage. Is that what everyone is doing?

[Sandra from NC]

Hey Sussann - I think I already resized it so just print, cut and add to the 6 x 6 page. I was able to print 2 on a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.

[scramper75]

Sussann, I just usually send a flat rate priority envelope with the stamp on it, makes life easier for the hostess.

Oh, and do you want money for the postage or a stamp? I'm thinking the flat rate priority envelope? That way if the other pages are heavier than mine I won't short anyone on postage. Is that what everyone is doing?

[scramper75]

BTW, how much of a "gutter" do we need to leave for the binding?? I hadn't given it any thought.

[paminsd]

I was thinking of this as well. The first post said "on the side where the binding will be leave 1/2" for it so the rings won't cut into the calendar or decorations. So our project will be 6 1/2" x 6", right?
Pam in SD

[gadgetgrl]

uug if thats the case mine are going to be too small.. I did true 6 X 6 did I do all of them wrong.. UUGH... Someone please let us know.


also Sandra asked if I posted them anywhere so I told her I would do it.. BUT I have looked Every where on my computer and I didn't take any pics or scan them.. UUUGh I really thought I did...

Sorry

[cs_in_ks]

I did 6x6 also...just moved my design slightly to one side and left room on the appropiate side for the binding. I hope that works. I don't want to start over!

Carolyn

[paminsd]

Do you think we should all keep it at 6x6 and move our design over, that way everyone's will fit. I vote for that! I am ready to get started on it.
Pam in SD

[scramper75]

I am just going ahead and doing mine 6x6 and just moving the design over to account for the binding. I have already bought the paper and hate the thought of needing to get more to make the pages slightly bigger, because you can't really cut more than 2 from 12x12 if they need to be bigger. Just my two cents.

[Games]

I know I'm not in this swap but for the recipe swap we made them true 6X6 and moved the design over. I think you all should do the same. ;) Especially sine some of you are done.


If you guys need help binding, I can help too. :D

[ChrisDurnan]

Lets just due true 6x6 folks and they will bind as they do. I actually am hanging mine from rings at the top and putting them on an easel back that stands. So just do them 6x6 and they will be fine.
And we are home this weekend so I will be getting mine done. woohoOO!

[scramper75]

AND so it has been said...hahahahahahaha
Thanks for clearing things up Chris. I am doing that with the recipe pages to give away for Christmas, although it is hard to part with them all ;)

[ChrisDurnan]

I almost felt like an authority on some thing. hahaha. I told my husband a few weekends ago when he couldn't make up his mind.>>> I sent him a text that said. I DECREE. this is what we are doing!!

So now he asks. Is that a decree? I smile and say Of course!


okay back to it.
Enjoy!
Chris

[scramper75]

hahahahaha, way too funny :)

[Sandra from NC]

Yes - true 6x6 is what I intended:). Makes it easier to use a 12x12 sheet of paper;).

I need to give some my cell# so you can text me if I need to get on - lol. I don't get on every day.

[paminsd]

Yes, we are all on the same page! :)
Pam in SD

[Doris C]

Would someone send me the address for the hostess of this swap. Thank you. Doris

[ChrisDurnan]

sent it to you!

[Sandra from NC]

Working on my August pages :D.

[BelovedKeepsakes]

Lets just due true 6x6 folks and they will bind as they do. I actually am hanging mine from rings at the top and putting them on an easel back that stands. So just do them 6x6 and they will be fine.
And we are home this weekend so I will be getting mine done. woohoOO!


I'm confused - I thought (by looking at the example) the decorate page was on the left - the calender on the right...... so how are you hanging them by rings from the top???

Lori

[ChrisDurnan]

hahah hmmm how to explain. I plan to put them on a stand that looks like a triangle.. So the calendar part will be on the back facing the desk and the month page will be face out on the front of the desk. Hope that makes sense.

[BelovedKeepsakes]

hahah hmmm how to explain. I plan to put them on a stand that looks like a triangle.. So the calendar part will be on the back facing the desk and the month page will be face out on the front of the desk. Hope that makes sense.

Uhhhh,,,ye... NO! Bahahaha!! Just tell me if I am right by saying my decorated page is on the left and my calendar is on the right..... right??

[BelovedKeepsakes]

One quick last question.... are we suppose to do these pages on cardstock or chipboard??

Lori

YES - yes yes - I am just starting on mine!!! Sheesh!!!

[paminsd]

I've got my decorated pages done...Lori I used your owl in the tree. I guess we cut the calendar page 6x6 too, should that be printed on cardstock or just plain white printer paper. I guess we just stick that on the back of the next month.
Pam in SD

[ChrisDurnan]

I cut 2 6x6 and pasted the calendar on one of them and also am decorating the other side for the month title page.

I don't have that much chipboard on hand so I did cardstock. had to cut 54 pieces down. yowser.
So excited to see them all.
Enjoy!
Chris

[paminsd]

Yeah, that's what I have done, cut cardstock, then I thought maybe the color wouldn't be right for the next page, guess we could just do something neutral...did you leave the month on the calendar page or cut it off? I think we'll get cofused if we remove it, I don't like where it is... but, I have put the month October on my decorated side.....is that ok?
Pam in SD

I still think it's going to be too much work for Sarah to assemble all of them ..unless she is superwoman! LOL

[ChrisDurnan]

My two pages match eachother htey both have a green background. I cut the March off because it wasn't centered. I was gonna put the words March underneath the calendar.

I printed the caleder. Trimmed it out and plan to affix it to a 6x6.

I really liked that Sandra said she uses the calendar and then the next year can use the "title pages" to make a quick scrapbook for people. This is because she takes the 6x6 calendar pages out.

Hope this helps in the thought process.
Enjoy!
Chris

Pam in SD

Oh - How exciting!!!! I can't wait to see it!!!!!

[scramper75]

Would someone be willing to post what they have already done?? I need both inspiration and to know EXACTLY what we are to do.

[ChrisDurnan]

I don't have mine all glued together yet. I modeled mine after Sandra's in the first post.
2 6x6's one has a calendar on it and the other is the month title page with embellishments.

If I get it done the next two nights, I'll take a picture.

Enjoy!
Chris

[paminsd]

Ok, so do you think we should just send a matching blank 6x6 for the calendar page? I have them already cut, then we can just glue in the calendar when we get it. Because we need something for Sarah to bind. Here's mine, and by the way I have about 3 or 4 different shades of the cardstock, so I'm trying really hard to keep them together correctly.... I know, more complications! :o
Pam in SD

Used Lori's owl in the tree, LOVE IT.

[Games]

You should send both pages, just like you have showing Pam. I'm assuming Sarah will just do stacks of months in order then all she does is pick them up and bind. Chris would call this collating, right? ;)

[ChrisDurnan]

Collating yes! Man I have collated a lot of papers and books in my life. To many to count. And for Masterlock. Oh Man they have some manuals that were nightmare and had to be hot wrapped. so yeah. COLLATE COLLATE> hahaha.

Loooooks perfect Pam.

I am sooo excited to get this! I won't want to gift them. ugho. maybe one on the counter for the house. oh man. screws up my homamde gift ratio. yikes.

[sussann]

I'm having major, major creativity block. I had a design worked out in my head, tried it tonight and it totally didn't work. Very bummed out, very, very bummed. :(

[BelovedKeepsakes]

I am tired - tired - tired - but all my bits and pieces are cut, I just have to finish my hand sewing, and all my assembling and my brads and my spica glittering....

Sheesh!!!!

I LOVE IT TOO!!!!

Send me your photo for my blog!!!

[scramper75]

Thanks for sharing Pam. I will be working on mine this coming weekend in between working on Physics homework.

[cs_in_ks]

I have mine finished. I have a house full of company staying for the Thanksgiving weekend, so I knew I had to get a jump on my pages. I have January in the 2nd group.

Carolyn

[ChrisDurnan]

Now that is darn cute!

[cs_in_ks]

Thanks Chris! :)

Carolyn

[cropangel]

I have both of my swaps cut and ready to mount just need to cut the paper for the second one. since the first one i did was a little more complicated with more pieces the second one i did is not so much as i was running out of time to get it all done. I am working this weekend I planned it that way as we do open hours for weight watchers and not many will want to weigh in after the holidays so i will have time to sit and work on all of this. I am looking forward to getting these in the mail. my daughters are getting both of them. hmmm maybe i will have to keep one of them myself.

Sheryl

[sarahwms]

Ladies,

Please check the first post and if you want your planner binded, please make sure your name is in red....

I just want to make sure that I have enough o wires before these start coming in....

THANKS!!

[scramper75]

Carolyn your pages are awesome.
Sheryl, i joined two to give away to my sisters but am starting to agree with you in keeping one for myself.

[cs_in_ks]

Ladies,

Please check the first post and if you want your planner binded, please make sure your name is in red....

I just want to make sure that I have enough o wires before these start coming in....

THANKS!!

Sarah, if you are running low. I don't need to have mine bound. You have made a lot of extra work for yourself!

Carolyn

[paminsd]

Carolyn, I love your planner page, and like that you made the calendar bigger.
Pam in SD

[BelovedKeepsakes]

Wheew - All my pages are cut, calendar is printed, charms are hand sewn, I have stickled and I have spica'ed... now I just have to assemble and add my eyelets and I will be DONE!!!

Lori

[BelovedKeepsakes]

I'm finally done with my swap pages!!!

The scan doesn't show all the Spica and stickles but here they are - I will ship them out tomorrow!!!

Lori

PS - NOW y'all did know I couldn't do the traditional May flowers and mother's day right?!?! Especially since May IS Military Appreciation Month!!!

(Imagine that!!!) LOL

[paminsd]

AWESOME Lori. Mine are done, will ship out on Monday.
Pam in SD

[sussann]

Well, mine are done. It's not what I had in mind at first, it sort of evolved in to it's own thing. I used Chris's January title (from her awesome month file) and her party hats. I've already got my postage and envelopes, I'll drop these by the PO tomorrow when I'm out.

[ChrisDurnan]

Awesome Sussann!!!!!

I am so excited about this.

[sussann]

Thanks, Chris! I couldn't have done it without your fabulous files!

[scramper75]

Wow those pages are awesome. I am almost done with my dec. pages and just have Sept left to do, so i am a little behind but what else is new with me :)

[ChrisDurnan]

I am wondering if my guys are gonna let me work on it today or I am gonna have to sneak out to the craft room after they go to bed. They want to decorate the whole house today. after doing a whole house already on friday for my MIL. I am decorating'ed out. But hubby is cooking me some breakfast so I think he is trying to woo me into it. hahah. :-)

[cropangel]

I am done with my swap and will mail them on monday.

Sheryl

[ChrisDurnan]

Woohoo Sheryl those are cool.

[luv2bmamaw]

These are awesome! Getting anxious!! :D
Mine are done, too-- shipping out tomorrow.

[ChrisDurnan]

I have all the pieces, will glue tonight and ship tomorrow. I have taken over the dining room table! :-)

Enjoy!
Chris

[rlovew]

Mine are done. I will be mailing them within the hour.

Rebecca

[paminsd]

I can get mine mailed today.
Pam in SD

[Scrapbookinggoddess]

Ok i am finishing up my pages today. I will have them in the mail priority tomorrow to you.

[Scrapbookinggoddess]

ok mine are done!! I will mail these out tomorrow priority!

[scramper75]

Ok so it looks as though i am the slacker of the bunch, i will have mine done tomorrow and in the mail tomorrow as well, just have to glue everything down for the sept pages and they are done!!

[Sandra from NC]

OH MY WORD - they are all AWESOME!! We'll definitely be doing this again next year only earlier- LOL.

I put mine in teh mail Saturday priority. You should get them tomorrow.

I was out of town when I finished them so didn't have a chance to scan. I didn't think about taking a picture :rolleyes:.

You all did such WONDERFUL work! Lori- I especially love you take on MAY!!!

[paminsd]

Mine were mailed today!! Yea, I can hardly wait to see it together.
Pam in SD

[cropangel]

I got mine in the mail yesterday and then came home and created my photo pic for my christmas cards. maybe i should get some of those done too. so many things i want to do and just not enough time to do it all.

i am going to post the picture i did i thought it came out good. have a good day and hope you all get things done that you need to.

Sheryl

[ChrisDurnan]

Very nice picture! :)

[ChrisDurnan]

Here is mine. For both swaps I had March! Thank you to whoever clued me into that. But I had a some helping hands who decided the shamrock needed to spin. So that's why it looks upside down in some of the picture :)

Mine went priority and the lady said it should be there by the 4th. I think that is the due date.

And I don't need mine bound.

thanks Sarah for your hard work on this!! and also to Sandra for the idea! So excited to give it to my friend.

Enjoy!
Chris

[cropangel]

Chris that looks great I am looking forward to getting this back

Sheryl

[gadgetgrl]

my second swap went priority as well. Should have them by the 4th. sorry forgot to take pics again. uuugh

[sarahwms]

No problem...I'll scan them all and post them!! I'll update later on who's I've gotten so far! Head cold has really gotten me down...going to take some NyQuil and go nite nite!

[Sandra from NC]

Sarah - hope you feel better soon.

Chris - love your pages too!

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE!!!!!:D:D:D

[BelovedKeepsakes]

Awwww - thanks!!!

You know with hubby being deployed everything is Military inspired around here......

I hope no one is upset that I didn't do "traditional" May items!

Lori

[TammyE]

I apologize...I just got mine out today...I have to say I'm a perfectionist...oh well...it was alot of fun putting together..I hope everyone likes it...this is my first time even doing anything like this;)

[scramper75]

AND if they are upset ... pooey on them ...... bahahahahahahahaha

[paminsd]

Tammy you did a fantastic job!
Pam in SD

[ChrisDurnan]

Wow those are nice Tammy! thanks for joining us!
Chris

[scramper75]

I am sooo excited about this swap :) I am soo glad i did join even though it has almost killed me to get them done.

[sarahwms]

Ok ladies, I have updated the first post with whose I have received so far...please let me know if you think I should have them and don't! With me being under the weather, my family may have "hid" them from me!

Ladies, these are all so beautiful!! I'm glad I did two...and I will admit that my thought when I signed up was that I would pick the months that I liked better and bind them for me....well, now that I am seeing them all, I'm going to have a REALLY HARD TIME picking!!!! I'll try to get them all scanned either today or tomorrow and post them!

[BelovedKeepsakes]

Glad to see mine got there!!

Wheew!!


Lori

[sarahwms]

Glad to see mine got there!!

Wheew!!


Lori

They did Lori and are BEAUTIFUL!!! GREAT JOB!!!

[sussann]

I mailed mine Sunday (went out 5am Monday) so you should have mine tomorrow. They're coming from Kentucky, priority, so I would have thought they'd been there by today at the latest.

[sarahwms]

Sorry Sussann,

I changed the color, but forgot to write RECEIVED!! I DO have yours!! Breathe easy!

[cropangel]

Glad you got mine too

Sheryl

[luv2bmamaw]

I know it's a lil' mishap-- but if you have my first group, you do have my 2nd group, right, Sarah? ;)
They was packaged together.

[sussann]

Oh good! I never trust the postal service any more. I need to just bite the bullet and start sending things UPS or Fed Ex. I had a Christmas package last year take three weeks to get from KY to Seattle.

[sarahwms]

I know it's a lil' mishap-- but if you have my first group, you do have my 2nd group, right, Sarah? ;)
They was packaged together.

Sorry Melody! yes I got them both! didn't realize you were in both swaps! Rest easy!

[gadgetgrl]

My delilvery confirmation says my second set reached the post office today so you should have them in todays mail.

[luv2bmamaw]

Sorry Melody! yes I got them both! didn't realize you were in both swaps! Rest easy!

Thanks, sweetie-- wasn't for sure if maybe package had gotten torn in route, and maybe separated! I'm so anxious.. this is just like christmas! LOL! Oh, Wait.. it IS christmas!! hehehehehe:D

[scramper75]

Ok, well I have been soooo busy this week it is not even funny. Mine will be in the mail tomorrow morning priority so at the latest they should be received by Monday. I am sooo sorry everyone for being the late one here. Please do not give me a thousand lashes...lol

[BelovedKeepsakes]

we are going to hang you by your toe nails Elizabeth!!!!

Baahhhahahaha!!!

Lori

[Games]

LOL, I was thinking you guys might want to give more lashes than she said but Lori's idea is even better. ;) Don't worry Elizabeth I'll protect you, no lashes or hanging for you. After all you have been in school, work, family, and trying to craft.

[scramper75]

I knew Lori would be the first to hang me :P

Thanks Ginger, i knew you would be there for me...hahahaha!!

well they went in the mail today priority so we shall see how long it takes to get there. I am loving how well these are turning out. I cannot wait to get them back and bind them for Christmas gifts (for myself)..hahahaha

Anyway, here is a peek at what i did:

I just realized i made 12 of each of my sets instead of 13. Since I have a bind it all coming in this next week for my birthday would you just send me all the other pages and I will make another set of my pages to add to mine. I am so sorry I had the number wrong in my mind.
