Description:

I'm back and I am bringing back this series I started in 2010.

1 partner swap

Long sign up time (so we can hit the holiday sales) but short send time, make sure you can send by the send date before signing up.

Send $10.00 worth of scrapbooking or cardmaking supplies. Supplies should be new or vintage. This means if you want to mix new products with vintage ephemera you may, previously this series of swaps focused on new supplies only, but I know that vintage is big right now so I thought people might enjoy getting some cool stuff.

ONLY SEND WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEVE: Vintage does not mean old junk. Examples of good vintage finds: vintage children's book pages, sheet music, old letters (1940 - 60), dictionary pages, lace (at least 24 inches), buttons (at least 10 to count as one item, and not your whole package), etc...

Ratings: Rating should be based on meeting swap requirements. ($10.00 worth of nice, new or vintage scrapbooking supplies) Everyone has different tastes, do not rate based on how much you like the style of items received, but whether or not they actually mean the requirements. This is NOT a profile based swap.

Eligibility:

  • Must be a member of Scraptopia, and meet requirements for the group.

  • Must have a rating of 4.9 or higher

  • No recent no sends

  • No Newbies (sorry)

I angel every swap I host, that said: please do not sign up if you do not intend to send.

Angel rules: Must have waited the full 2 weeks after the send date Must have contacted your partner and gotten no response or an unsatisfactory response. Must have rated your partner a 1 for no send. Contact me after the above conditions have been met and I will happily send you a lovely package to make up for the one you got flaked on. Please include in your PM the name of the swap you would like an angel package for and the name of your flaker so I can post their name in the flakers group.

Just a quick note to clarify since I have had a few PM's:

Everything should be in the orignal packaging or the original state it was bought in. So ribbon, should be on a roll or if you bought it from a store that cuts it for you, include the receipt so your partner knows how much you spent for it. 6 x 6 papers should be in the original paper pad, not loose sheets.

Basically, whatever you send should be brand new, not used or part of something else. It is not really a destash swap, its more of a give your partner something new to play with swap.

You also have the option of sending some Vintage things, you should include your receipt for your vintage things if it is not obvious how much they are worth. (I always send vintage book pages in my packages to paper crafters, but usually as extras, its so hard to tell how much something like that is worth)

I started these swaps because I see all kinds of products in people's swaps and pages that I don't have access to here because I shop at an independent scrapbook store so I get products that are available through Notions Marketing. They are really great, but they don't carry all the brands that other people can get (like American Crafts for example... but I can get things from Bo Bunny and K & Company, its weird). I assume that it's the same for people elsewhere and it's an opportunity to get something for someone they may not be able to get otherwise.

I do host destash swaps from time to time, be on the lookout there will be some in late January!

I am officially archiving this from my dash at this point, as all participants have marked sent and it is after the deadline.

If something goes amiss, please PM me and we will work on angeling from there.

Thank you for being in my swap!
