May Swap Crop

It's May already! Can you believe it? Summer is right around the corner, believe it or not! With the new month comes the next Swap Crop! The theme for May is Beauty. Anything that is beautiful to you will work for this swap! Some ideas are waterfalls, flowers, sunsets, people, artwork; you get the idea. There are so many possibilities with this topic; it may be hard to narrow it down!

Here's how it works. Anyone who wants to participate, send an email to swapcrop@gmail.com. Include your first name, screen name, email address and any previous swap crop partners. You have until May 7th to sign up.

On May 8th, I will pair everyone up and notify everyone who their partner is. Then, contact your partner, and send them your photos and journaling. If you haven't heard from your partner, or received their photos by May 16th, let me know and I will find you a new partner. Once you have your partner's photos and journaling, create a layout for your partner, showcasing their photos! Only one layout is required, but if you want to do more, feel free. Things do come up, so if you can't complete a layout for your partner, please let me know, ASAP!

On May 30th (try to wait until then to show your partner their layout, but if you just can't wait, that's ok, too!), we can begin loading the layouts in the Swap Crop Gallery and have a chat to celebrate (time TBA). You can still participate even if you can't attend the chat. After the chat, don't forget to send a high resolution copy of the layout to your partner, either through email or yousendit.com (it's free!).

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! You can post it in this thread, PM me, or email me at the address above. The best part of a swap crop is making a new friend, creating a layout for a fellow Scrap Girl, and receiving one in return! Let the fun begin!
