I will do the Studios.
I think you could stagger by 1/2 or 1 month increments with a 1-1/2 to 2 month return window. Then those of us who want to do more than one swap can have a little breathing room. Are you still planning to do an ABC swap too Shauna?
If I'm thinking about this correctly, then it would go something like this:
MK - signup Aug 1 - due Sept 15
AK - signup Aug 15 - due Oct 1
Epcot - signup Sep 1 - due Oct 15
Other - signup Sep 15 - due Nov 1
Studios - signup Oct 1 - due Nov 15
If you were to join every team, you would have 2 sets of 6-8 page elements due every 2 weeks for 2 months! That's the "worst" case scenario. I think most of us probably don't have time for that, but I definitely would be interested in a few of those swaps.
As far as elements, should we stick with what's been done in the past? There are 11 elements here -- we could go with whatever the 6-8 people choose.
1 Topper 8.5 inches (no handwriting please) :
2 Borders ( 2 Vertical 11 inches in length ) :
1 Shaker box:
2 Journal Boxes ( double matted ) 2 per person, at least a 2x2 writing (or other type of journalling element)
4 Embellished squares ( double matted ) 4 per person :
1 Matted Poem or song Lyric ( double matted/embellished ) at least 4x4 space ( no handwriting please ) :
1 Paper piecing :
2 Frames ( embellished ) :
2 Photo Mats ( double matted/embellished ) 2 per person :
2 Tags ( double matted ) 2 per person must include either fibers or eyelets in Shaped Eyelets ( 6 per person ) & 1 yard Fiber :
All of this is just me brainstorming so please take it with a grain of salt
