2012 monthly SWAPS

I will take the first 10 people to sign up for each monthly SWAP.  You must sign up before the 1st of each month to participate. SWAPS will be due (to me) by the last day of the month. (Please keep postal holidays in mind when mailing.) If I do not receive them before the end of the last day of the month, they will be returned to you. I will then mail the SWAPS out on the first Monday of the next month. (For example: February SWAPS will be due by January 31, 2012. I will then mail them out on February 6, 2012.) You must include a SASE with correct postage. Please email me at bhoward@kci.net with the month(s) of the SWAPS you would like to participate in along with a link to your blog if you have one. Please put SWAPS in the subject line.  I will then email you back with my mailing address.

For those of you who may be new to SWAPS...The concept is simple. Participants would make either a cut {that could be put on a card or a scrapbook page} or an actual card for the swap each month based on a list of topics {like Father's Day or summer}. Cuts need to be embellished and be at least 3".  You make one die cut/item for each member of the SWAP. You then mail them to me. I will then disperse them to each SWAP participant. So if 10 people participate in the SWAP, you make 10 items, mail them to me and in return you will receive 9 different items and 1 of your own. 


Please be sure to submit only your best work. Something you are proud of.
