Description:

Ok so i have searched and hunted and have not found a swap quite what i was after so i am going to make my own - i hope i have something that will interest alot of others.

PROJECT LIFE - Whos doing it? Whos sort of doing it? Who like me has bought a kit (well 2!) and have yet to get onto doing it the way Becky Higgins does... I have opened mine up, sorted and arranged and decided that im not going to use mine the way they were originally intended... Im using mine for SMASHING! JOURNALLING & even as THANKYOU cards.

So i had a thought i would actually like to mix up my sets a little bit, to see what other packs have in them...i like variety - So if you are like me and you like to mix things up a little then THIS SWAP IS FOR YOU TOO!

AS WE GET 500 3*4 JOURNALING CARDS IN EACH CORE PACK, Im sure we can all afford to share a little to receive a little.

Details for this swap:

I would like you to send 20 cards to each PARTNER.

(thats 20 cards to 3 partners = 60 cards in total)

So we send out 60 and receive back 60 cards.

(20 from 3 different partners)

It is entirely up to the sender what 20 cards they send, as long as they are Project Life, clean, tidy, un-marked and in the condition you would like to receive yours in.

You can certainly send more if you like but this swap calls for a min of 20 3*4 Journalling cards to each partner.

These are the 2 core kits that i have:

RAIN

COBALT

RATE 5 if you receive 20 minimum maybe a heart if your partner has gone out of there way to please you. Don't rate down if you do not like the cards you are sent - hold onto them for a future swap :)

Newbies are welcome to join - as we have all been a Newbie before BUT please do have a well filled out profile as i will have to check before partners are assigned.

Please DO-NOT FLAKE as i would hate to have anyone miss out - I will angel if you have tried every possible way to contact your partner and have not had the matter sorted.

FLAKERS will be banned from any future swaps i host.

If there are any questions reagrding this swap, feel free to leave a comment and i will reply.

I hope you will all enjoy this swap. If this swap seems popular i will host another one next month.

Happy swapping

I just bought the Honey kit at Michaels along with the Holiday mini kit.

@soyprincesa2 I live in New Zealand, in a small town...i seen them on Youtube and HAD to get myself a kit...oops i ended up getting 2! with the crazy shipping costs...i hope this swap is something many others are interested in as id love to do it again just to have a variety.

Created46 09/ 4/2013 #

I have the kraft set, the midnight set and the vintage travel set.

soyprincesa2 09/ 4/2013 #

@ilovelovemylife This is a great idea!!! I just bought my kit last week, but have been eyeing it on becky Higgins personal site for many years. I have my 40% off coupon so I couldn't pass it up. They only had the Honey, Midnight and Kraft kit available there. I had a hard time choosing between the Kraft and Honey kit.... so I went with the Honey set. I would love a little of all the kits. The many different colors are so much fun and will add a lot of variety to our albums! Yes.... let's do another round. I will try to buy another mini kit as well so that I can share some special occasion cards. :)

ilovelovemylife 09/ 4/2013 #

@soyprincesa2 I too would like a bit of all the sets...its why I started this swap;) I hope this swap goes well and even afterwards if anyone who participates would like too, I'm open to private swaps. Happy Swapping.

@Created46 oooh the vintage set is a personal favourite! actually they all are...i find it hard to choose. Happy Swapping.

Nightenbelle 09/ 4/2013 #

I haven't bought a kit because I wanted some of each of them and can't decide. . . Now I might just have to run to Michaels and get one! :-) Great idea!

ilovelovemylife 09/ 5/2013 #

@Nightenbelle Thankyou for your comment. I live in New Zealand and don't get to drool over the real thing before we buy haha I bought mine online...not cheap...so I thought of this as a swap so I can get a nice mix without the expense. I hope every one enjoys the swap as i hope to do it again, maybe next month.

frugabler 09/ 5/2013 #

This is a great idea! I have the Honey edition, but would love to have some other cards too!

soyprincesa2 09/ 5/2013 #

@ilovelovemylife It would be nice if we were allowed to send a partner who has the exact same kit as us other cards that would fit into the project life pages.... that maybe aren't of the same company. Just in case we end up with a partner with our kit. Is there any way this would be allowed.... I really don't want to swap the same cards with someone who is just sending me back the same.

ilovelovemylife 09/ 6/2013 #

@soyprincesa2 I know just how you feel, as my intention for this swap was to add variety to my collection...i am just hoping that i get partnered up with someone who has anything other than what i have. there is always the option to if you get something you dont like -to hold onto them for another swap. I couldnt ask swapers to allow being given another brand as the swap calls for Project Life. I hope you will still join this swap.

soyprincesa2 09/ 8/2013 #

I realized that any duplicates I get I can send to my partner in a Facebook group swap.

ilovelovemylife 09/ 9/2013 #

^^^ awesome :)

soyprincesa2 09/10/2013 #

I just went and bought the childhood mini kit

ilovelovemylife 09/10/2013 #

@soyprincesa2 yay! That kit is beautiful...hope to be partnered up hehe xxx

FLCindy 09/12/2013 #

I'd love to join but there are only 3 kits I have not purchased. The chances of swapping cards I don't have seem low for me. But, for those who are not a crazed PL nut like I am, this would be a great swap.

Melovespaper 09/12/2013 #

I have the Kraft Edition, Midnight Edition, and Frolic Edition!!!

soyprincesa2 09/12/2013 #

I saw the Seasons mini kit at Michael's today, but I didn't have a coupon on me so I didn't buy it. Are there any other stores that sell the kits.... other than www.beckyhiggins.com

ilovelovemylife 09/13/2013 #

@FLCindy thankyou for your comment :) Im not a "crazed" PL nut...but believe me if it wasny so expensive for me here in New Zealand i probably would be hahaha - its why i started this swap.

Welcome @Melovespaper

@soyprincesa2 i hope you can find another stockist :)

Nightenbelle 09/14/2013 #

@soyprincesa2 I saw them at Hobby Lobby last week. Heading out today to get one and join this swap. :-)

soyprincesa2 09/14/2013 #

Yay!!! I am so happy to see that we have 8 people signed up so far!!! I am very new to project life.... as in.... have not even started doing it yet. I was wondering..... are there any sleeves that hold Instagram photos without having to put the photo on different shaped cardstock?

ilovelovemylife 09/15/2013 #

@Nightenbelle glad to have you in this swap :)

@Soyprincesa2 Im glad to see numbers growing too...Im as new as you in that i havent started to use mine either...except for the odd thankyou card in a swap (*naughty of me) and some in my smashbooks, i really cannot wait to get this swap underway.

Melovespaper 09/19/2013 #

Did any one see the 3x4 punch from we r memory keepers!!! It's lovely and saves a lot of time when making cards.

fruitbat5150 09/19/2013 #

I bought the Flea Market mini kit from Amazon especially for this swap; I haven't tried PL before, so I'm really looking forward to getting cards from other kits.

For those of you who like Smash books, Amazon currently has three different ones on sale for $5.00, rather than the usual $12.99 (62% savings!). They also have free shipping in the US when you order $25 or more, or they have Amazon Prime (which I have), where you pay a flat rate for a certain period of time (usually a year, but they might have shorter trial periods) and you get free two day shipping on pretty much everything (except items from some third party sellers) AND there are 1000s of streaming movies & TV shows you can watch free also. I'm not affiliated with Smash or Amazon, just a very happy long term Amazon customer.

Nightenbelle 09/19/2013 #

Ooo thanks for the heads up @fruitbat5150

ccesch 09/26/2013 #

I am so sad I just found this and missed the cutoff. I have 4 core kits and have been looking for just this kind of swap. If you do another one or anyone wants to swap one on one I am game :)
