Okay - I'm giving until Saturday night at midnight EDT to sign up. This is a great swap for fun and doesn't require a whole lot of expense. Please sign up if you are interested at all!!! Last chance. Read the first post and let me know. I do need everyone's address and lets say phone numbers (if you don't mind, then I can get in touch if I have a question.) I will assign partners and the stamps will be due to those partners by the date stated.

I can't wait!!!!

Come on and sign up! You know you want to!

I am really having fun with this. I designed, made a mock up, and of course will be tweaking it for a while before mailing. I have been happily showing my work in progress to anyone who will look at it. Must show DD's BF. He has the "oohing and aahing" down to a snarky, sarcastic, teenaged science! LOL

Retta, I will send you a pm with my info.

Retta... if we are only exchanging with one person.... those people can give each other their addresses.. or am I misunderstanding the swap.

I was going to assign partners and send it out. I wasn't sure at the time that the one you sent it to would be your partner, we don't know the count yet. But we shall see.

Retta wrote:Okay we hadn't posted this under challenges and this is going to be really simple. So here you go . . .

I am posting an SVG, SCAL3 and MTCC file for you to download. I have SCAL and MTC but don't use it. Dana is checking the MTC file and I made a SCAL file but didn't check it. Free to download and use - or make your own. The sheet is 8 1/2 x 11 and you will be making Faux Postage and will be assigned a swap partner. So you will be sending it out to just one person. You will post when you send to your partner and your partner will post when received so we can keep track of everything. No additional postage to send with, just send the sheet you make.

Ideas for the swap are stamps, chalks, alcohol inks and embossing, cutter files of course and embellishments of any kind. They should fit in a normal envelope to send though. So cost should be manageable.

Faux postage can be really fun to trade and collect. They can be used for tags, decorations on packages, envelopes and ATC's for those of us that are having fun with them. Encouragement with sentiments on them, or just pictures.

Clear as mud. This would be a time you could try your Print and Cut on your machine too. So many options.

Here is a digital picture of an example:

You have until June 30, 2012 to sign up. And We will send out partners and give you until July 31 get them to your partner. Please mail a bit earlier to get there on time!!! LOL Please PM me with your address and e-mail. Or, send to sumpter5 at embarqmail dot com We would appreciate once this is over, that you took a picture of your faux postage and post here once everyone has theirs. If you don't know how to post here, please let me know or e-mail me the picture and I will post. Thanks!!!

I'm so excited.

1. Jann
2. Elizabeth
3. Dana
4. Retta
5. LisaH
6. Mary Kobel

We have 4 participants right now and I will update as needed.

I think you two should do a Thelma and Louise inspired stamp.
