Receiving ~ What is in a Letter ~ Due March 30th

[barbaralynn]

What is in a Letter? What can you create with an "assigned" letter? Read on for the details................

If you are up for a new challenge in a swap, then this one is for you. If you sign up for one spot, take the first letter of your first or last name and create a card with that letter in mind. If you take two spots, then you need to use the first letter of both your first and last names. And, for the prize--take three spots and use the first letter of your first, middle and last name. For example--for me and the letter "B", I could make a card with a balloon for a birthday card, or a bat for Halloween, or bottle of wine for well.............pretty much anything. The theme can be anything that goes with your letter--Birthday, Easter, Christmas, Get Well, Sympathy, Thinking of you, etc.

Descriptions: Full Size Card- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Please use at least 2 layers & 1 embellishment! If you make a size different than this, please include an envie.

Quantity: 5+1 -You will not get one of your own back, so make an extra one for yourself!

Vendor Products: No vendor requirements--Any stamps from any company, but PLEASE use very good quality cardstock (SU, Gina K, PTI), No vendor restriction on embellishments - use as many embellishments as you like. Designer papers are encouraged, but not required.

Due Date: Friday, march 30th - I will mail them as soon as I receive all swaps! If I receive the swaps early, I will send them out early. If your cards are received after the due date, I may have to return them to you.

Mailing instructions: Place swap cards in a large baggie for waterproof purposes. Write your real name, SCS name and swap name on a piece of paper or the baggie for identification purposes.

Swap Return: Please include self-addressed stamped envelope. The amount of postage on your SASE should be the same amount used to mail to me. Please include 2 additional stamps to insure enough postage to return swaps. Additional postage will be returned if not used. PLEASE SEND ONLY POSTAGE STAMPS, NO DATED STAMPS OR METERED MAIL--My Post Office will not take them If you would rather use Priority mail, please include one $5.15 priority stamp or cash and a self-addressed priority label--I will provide priority envelope. If you are mailing from outside the US, please include $5 US (or more for mutiple spots) to cover return postage, and I will return whatever is left to you. Remember, there is a postal increase the middle of January, if you mail your swap in early.

Please post or PM me with any questions.

Remember--if you take three spots, you will get a prize in your return envie

Please mail swaps to:
