Oh another great swap! :D This one is a bit harder than the other though...not sure if I can come up with cards for the themes. By recycled bits card, do you mean using recycled items?

judgedbyabookscover 10/23/2016 #

80s girl, don't let the themes deter you, its easier than you think..

Art is open to your interpretation, thus the themes listed are also open to your interpretation.

For the recycled bits.. you can use anything basically.. i'm thinking about cards that have random stuff incorporated like a stir stick from a coffee, a bit of candy wrapper, and old game piece, a hair pin, a notecard clipping, parts of an envelope, a bus/train ticket, a meter receipt, a leaf, tree bark, a pressed flower, egg carton or egg shells : )

You still get 3 free themes so just use your imagination and i'm sure you'll create some great cards.

the found poetry is basically taking words from stuff and creating a poem or quote or phrase

the interactive card will have a fold out or door or pull out

I think the most challenging for me will be the Kraft card which I plan to do just because I have a ton of Kraft dies, paper scraps, etc.

80sGirl 10/23/2016 #

Thanks for the explanation! I don't even know what Kraft is. :P Guess I gotta do some more Googling.

80sGirl 10/23/2016 #

80sGirl 10/23/2016 #

Oooooh I didn't know it was called Kraft :P I've been in the US for ten years and there's still so much stuff I don't know hahaha I'm already brainstorming. ;)

judgedbyabookscover 10/23/2016 #

I moved back to the watch list as I have to figure out my November schedule first. Hope I can participate!

This swap always has a great deal of watchers, last round we got up to 13 participants. So gradually we are gaining artists.

Each round has been great, so I want to know from the watchers, aside from 80sgirl, what is deterring you from joining??

Do you have any questions that I can answer for you?

Let me know, is there something about the swap that is stopping you?

tcornell 10/26/2016 #

Thanks for the warm welcome! Excited about this swap :)
