I hate to send them home to you in grocery bags because i don't have any extras here...thanks. Since we had such great success with the last swap I will keep the rules the same:RULES:PLEASE READ1. 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, as i usually have an extra spot2. You must contain the paper from this line on any handmade item, with an exception of die cuts (you can do plain cardstock for those or paper/chipboard or paper/cardstock). 3. You can only use bazzill brand cardstock on your items unless it is ok'd through me first...I prefer heavier style cardstock without the white core...and if we all use the same brand it matches so much better.4. I ask that you pour your heart into your work, if you do this swap will be very successful.5. Last but not least...HAVE FUN!!!!6. Oops forgot to mention postage and a baggie lol..7.also a new rule (no scanned & printed paper),If this rule is broken your item will be returned to you, no exceptions, as printing your own paper is not fair to the rest)I have put the particulars next to each spot in the swap so it will be less confusing for anyone...listed by each item is the minimum of what each item requires...but you allowed to add any extras to make this swap a great one..thanks  i'm sure you will do an awesome job!
