Description:

I was originally signed up for the swap hosted by StaceyLynn, unfortunately she has decided to leave swapbot and cancelled the swap. I hope she changes her mind and comes back but until then I am going to try hosting the swap.

So..... The aim is at the end of the year to have 100 inchies! This is the second part of the swap and is for inchies #11-20.

You have to make 10 inchies "Love" related in total, and will send 5 to two partners. Please make inchies you would want to receive yourself, and please put some effort into them. (I already received some great ones in the last swap - so I know you're all capable!!). The inchies can be decorated by any means - ie. paper, paint, drawing, collage, sewing, just so long as they are 1" x 1" square and sturdy.

Any questions please ask - I dont bite!

If I get a good response to this swap I will set up the rest too, but Ill wait a few days to ensure StaceyLynn doesn't change her mind.

BORING BUT NECESSARY RULES!

You must have a 4.7 rating or higher to participate. At least 5 completed mail swaps (not e-swaps or postcards).

No flakers!

Newbies welcome if they have completed a profile (i would appreciate a 'pm' to let me know you're joining).

I reserve the right to ban anyone from the swap.

My sister and I are doing this project together and then mixing them and sending them. Thank you for putting swap up for this project Doublesided!

Excellent Dreammer! Glad to see Im not the only one excited about the project! Great idea to mix with your sis - it means your partner will be getting different styles - nice one!

Thank you for resurrecting this swap! You and StacyLynn are awesome to do this for us and I look forward to the year of inchies. January's swap was my first time ever making them and it was really fun. I do hope she will change her mind too!

Juliajae 01/23/2009 #

Thank you so much for carrying on this great idea of a swap for inchies.Like some others I have also made mine ready to swap.

starseeker 01/23/2009 #

i had never made these before the january swap. the size can be a challenge, but loads of fun! so if you are thinking about it and have done any atcs, scrapbooking or other paper arts - you can easily do this - so join us ;) if you like to do anything artisitic at all - you can do this! fun to do with the kids, too ;)

I am so glad you put this swap back together, I was so excited about it!

BeingJulia 01/23/2009 #

thrilled that you are resurrecting the swap! Signing up...

user6937 01/23/2009 #

Do we need to sign up again, if we already did with Stacey?

doublesided 01/23/2009 #

Great to see so many people signing up!!

@Jex you should definitely give it a go - so long as you put in the effort people will be glad to have you! And how wrong can you go with a square inch?! Ha ha! Try looking on flickr for ideas - there are loads!

@User6937 yes please sign up again. I have no way of knowing who was in the original swap so you need to sign up again.

Everyone - please let anyone else who you know was in the original swap to sign up again if they are interested. Also if anyone has any ideas or themes for the inchies they would like for future swaps let me know and Ill see about hosting the next set asap.

the weird and funny thing is that I was just wondering what I was gonna do with mine. I finished them last night and read the cancelation notice this morning! Thank you for hosting this. It is my first effort at making inchies...lol!

TexyDeb 01/24/2009 #

oops I just re-read and see that they have to be sturdy...I made one for each partner that isn't sturdy...that means I will finish tonight...lol

doublesided 01/28/2009 #

I've nearly finished mine too ;) Only a couple of days to go until partners are assigned!

BeingJulia 01/29/2009 #

How are most of you marking the backs of these? Names? Initials? Any thoughts on how this is typically done with inchies?

doublesided 01/30/2009 #

I usually photoshop myself a back similar to the following ...

BeingJulia 01/30/2009 #

perfect! thanks for the info!

doublesided 02/ 2/2009 #

Its time to swap!!

TexyDeb 02/ 3/2009 #

I will go back and write on the backs of the ones I can. That is a great idea, thank you doublesided for the good idea. i am going to included the date and that it was the 11-20 swap.

doublesided 02/14/2009 #
