They are both 8"x8" completed layout swaps.  1 is boy themed and 1 is girl themed.RULES: 1. You can only sign up if you have current (caught up) status in swaps...I love all of you but it really helps with lateness.  If you really want in hurry up and catch up and let me know.2. You must have BOTH patterned paper and bazzill textured cardstock (reg. bling, weave etc. just textured)on your layouts.3. You must send 2 completely done and matching pages for the albums, so that when you open the album up pages on both side match.4. I ask that you pour your heart into your work and these swaps will be very successful.5. All journal boxes, picture mats, titles etc. must all be matted (2 layers)EACH 2-page layout must contain at least:          -1 journal box/circle of some kind          -1photomat of some kind          - boy or girl themed embellishments at least 3(please no white edged stickers though)          - 1 Tag that pulls out of something (hidden, library pocket, special spot...just so that it is hiding behind something to be pulled out. and leave blank so that each girl can put her own words on it please attach ribbon or fibers the top or side of each tag to make pulling it out easier .6. But MOST IMPORTANTLY both pages must be FULL and finished layouts something that you would be proud to give another.  Fully embellished and fully themed...the lumpier the better7.  Your patterned paper doesn't have to reflect boy or girl themes but they must be boy or girl colors, but please make it cute.8.  Copying and printing paper is a NO NO and will not be tolerated and will prevent you from joining any future swaps9.  When in doubt pm me or look at any of my other swap threads for rules questions.10.

WendyI am confused here... is this you make a two page LO say girl theme.. w/o pictures then we send it to you and get another one back???

you send me 7- 2 page lo's (keep yours at your house...cheaper shipping) then when i receive all of them then you will receive 7 different 2-page lo's back so you will have enough for a complete album or a good start on a thick one....they are w/o pics...when you receive all the pages back then you just measure and cut your own pics accordingly.remember i did one of these with christmas songs once..where each person did 1 christmas song lo and had to have a christmas themed song on it ? remember that one? it was a couple years ago

Hi Wendy...Is their a certain "age" they should reflect? 

um how about toddler?

And...we can use any paper as long as it's boy or girl themed?

yep as long as it's nice paper and will match boy or girl colors you betcha...i think this swap is a little easier because you don't have to hunt for specific papers. and most of the time you most likely already have them in your posession.

like say oh baby boy by basic grey..not all the papers are boy themed but the colors are definately boy colors.  Your embellishments must be boy themed though, stamped, bought, stickers or otherwise

looking like i will probably cancel this one if no interest..maybe just do a toddler boy swap and pick out some papers.

one last chance otherwise i'll have to cancel it

I'll play...I will take a boy spot and a girl spot.  All I have are Angel spots...and 2 swaps ( Paper) in Feb. and the Monogram with Nikki in Jan...so I'm good.

ok, I've decided since it's not due until Feb I will be able to think of what I want to do by then.  Please, if you will have me, sign me up for one in each.

gotcha thanks any others?
