Description:

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!

For this swap all participants will start out with a little supply kit that contains the same items as everyone else. This time the kit will be a surprise - so you are going to have to trust me.... I can tell you that it will PROBABLY include cardstock, collage sheet images, maybe some stickers, maybe some punchies, maybe some die cuts, maybe some ephemera, etc.

You will be making THREE twinchies for each of THREE partners plus THREE more twinchies for me (that's to "pay" me back for the supply kit and postage for sending it to you). So - make TWELVE total twinchies from your supply kit.

Start with the supply kit that I furnish to you and then add whatever else you want; however, be sure that you use enough items from the supply kit (and in big enough pieces) that it is obvious they are there. You don't HAVE to add anything to the supply kit if you choose not to.

Usual rules apply: * No sticker slapping (but stickers are definitely allowed) * Any medium(s) * Late sends and flakers will not be tolerated.

The fun of this swap will be starting with a supply kit and then seeing what your partners create using the same supplies! It would be FANTASTIC if everyone posted their completed twinchies in the "Paper Cutz" Flickr group so we can all see ALL of the variety!

Dates:
Sign Up Deadline: 2/15
I will send out supply kits by: 2/20
Send by Deadline for completed twinchies: 3/26

Please ask any questions you have and I will try to clarify - I've hosted two swaps like this in the past but I might have missed something or maybe I can explain something better. Thanks!

WOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love same supplies swaps:D

Leashah 01/30/2012 #

Ooh, I'm so glad I went looking for swaps or I might have missed this! These were SO FUN!

Leashah 01/30/2012 #

Um, your # of Swap Partners says 1.

LauraAust 01/31/2012 #

Thanks Leashah - I actually thought about this in the middle of the night a couple of days ago - but then apparently I totally forgot about it again!

Moosecastle 02/ 1/2012 #

you also have 2 different sign-up dates; feb 15 at the top and feb 12 in the description;)

Itti 02/ 1/2012 #

What a fantastic idea!

flowerlady57 02/ 2/2012 #

Fun Fun

LauraAust 02/ 3/2012 #

OMG! Thanks Moosecastle - I must have been smoking something pretty strong the day I posted this swap....

LauraAust 02/ 3/2012 #

All righty - does ANYONE see anything else that I screwed up? :)

Moosecastle 02/ 4/2012 #

besides the participants? ;):D

LauraAust 02/ 4/2012 #

IGNORE THAT LAST COMMENT! I don't know what @Moosecastle was thinking - ha!!!!!!! I am really excited for the sign up deadline to pass so I know how many kits to make - I've been building up a little stash of stuff to include!!

Leashah 02/ 6/2012 #

Hurry it up already, i'm excited to do this! :P

LauraAust 02/14/2012 #

I'm excited too! I want to start on the kits but I need to know how many people are participating first - I've picked up some really fun things (I think) for the kits!

Moosecastle 02/15/2012 #

NOW? NOW? NOW? NOW? NOW? NOW!!!!!!!!

LauraAust 02/15/2012 #

Just about - just have to make it through today and then I will put the kits together!!!!!!! Maybe I'll have to stay up until midnight and start working on them - ha! There were still 6 people watching as of last night (and now today I can't see the number watching)...

Moosecastle 02/15/2012 #

that means no-one's watching anymore - go make those kits!!!! Mine has a long way to travel!!!! ;) xox

Marryth 02/15/2012 #

Meeeee! I give up - I made it ONE month without swapping. I can't live without happy mail! I'll just splurge and pay for Canada Post's mail forwarding service whenever we're preparing to move. :P

LauraAust 02/15/2012 #

We are up to 14 participants - how cool is that?!?! I have spent the entire evening getting the stuff ready to be divided up and put in envelopes. I am hoping to have the kits in the mail to people Friday morning!

So good to have you @Marryth It wouldn't have been the same without you!

LauraAust 02/17/2012 #

I mailed out all the supply kits this morning! WAY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE! The automated postal machine was giving me fits so I hope they all got the right amount of postage put on them - if not, I really do apologize! I hope you are all inspired by the items in the kits!

Moosecastle 02/19/2012 #

Wohoo!!! Cant wait!!!

Itti 02/20/2012 #

So excited!!!

Leashah 02/21/2012 #

Hurrah! I hope it comes today!!!

flowerlady57 02/21/2012 #

I am ready!! first time I have done this kind of swap can't wait to get started :)

CarlyJo 02/21/2012 #

Wow Laura I have so much going through my mind after opening this supply kit. FUN FUN FUN items are in here....I cannot wait to play in it all! This is my first one, but I can tell its not going to be my last!

CarlyJo 02/21/2012 #

By first one I mean first same supply challenge.

Leashah 02/21/2012 #

I would like to complain, Laura... I think the sparkle fairy barfed in my envelope. :P

(JUST KIDDING!)

LauraAust 02/21/2012 #

I LOOOOOOVE SPARKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leashah 02/21/2012 #

Yes, yes, I know. :P

JenHuff 02/21/2012 #

LOL! Leashah I sent Laura a text today saying that fun exploded out of the envelope!

CarlyJo 02/21/2012 #

Leashah I was just coming back to ask if anyone else had glitter everywhere, I cannot contain it at all. I have a cat that is looking pretty hot right now..and a very sparkly husband.

Moosecastle 02/22/2012 #

Thanks for the heads up ladies:D

flowerlady57 02/22/2012 #

I received my kit, what a feast to the eyes. I went into my studio and made 3 already, how fun is this. I hope that I got the info right they are to be 2X2 sq. right?

JenHuff 02/22/2012 #

Yup 2x2. I started mine tonight. :)

LauraAust 02/23/2012 #

I'm glad to hear that people aren't TOO weirded out by the selection of stuff that I sent....!!

Itti 02/23/2012 #

Just got mine today! So excited!

Actually I am a bit in awe... I don't know where to begin. It's gonna be such fun thinking of ideas!

Marryth 02/23/2012 #

I want to play too! Canada Post sucks...I'm always last. (Even though we're only what, a ~14-hour drive apart?) I haven't gotten any mail at all this week...blargh. D:

LauraAust 02/23/2012 #

@Marryth - I know I looked it up that one time - I think we are even closer than 14 hours - maybe 10 hours?

I'm done with mine - I actually made 20! I'm going to post them on Flickr so you can decide if you want to look or not! I saw that both @CarlyJo and @Leashah have some posted on Flickr too!

And no - I didn't really start early. I think all the kits were in the mail before I started mine.... :)

Moosecastle 02/24/2012 #

I remember for the last same supplies swap I received the kit before Marryth - and Im a bit more than 14 hours away:D

Marryth 02/24/2012 #

Denmark's postal system should teach Canada Post how to function, I think - because they obviously haven't figured it out yet! I'm itchin' to get a start on these; the supplies look like fun! :D Maybe I'll actually get mail delivery as a birthday gift? Move your butts, Canada Post!

Leashah 02/25/2012 #

Mine are finished! They're up on my Flickr (and in the Paper Cutz Flickr Group, too) if you want to look. :)

Moosecastle 02/25/2012 #

Mine didnt come today either... :(

LauraAust 02/25/2012 #

Ok - maybe next time I will mail the international kits out several days BEFORE the USA ones....?

Moosecastle 02/26/2012 #

I like that idea!!! :D;)

Marryth 02/29/2012 #

Just got my supplies - yay! Now, someone make my toddler nap so I can play with them, please? :D

Moosecastle 02/29/2012 #

Unfair!!!!!!!!!!! I havent gotten mine yet! I thought the rule was that I got mine before you!! ;):D

Marryth 02/29/2012 #

If it's any consolation, Tania - I'm one of your sending partners, so it means you'll get your twinchies sooner? ;) I guess we're taking turns to get the supplies first...next swap is your turn! :P

LauraAust 02/29/2012 #

Ugh - what a mess. I'm sorry guys! Keep me posted as to when the supply kits are received because if they come too late I will definitely extend the "send by" date for you (Tania).

Moosecastle 03/ 1/2012 #

Thanks ladies:). Im just impatient:D

Moosecastle 03/ 1/2012 #

they are here! they are here! they are here! they are here! they are here! they are here! they are here! they are here! they are here!

See you when Im done crafting:D

Ronya 03/ 2/2012 #

Well, Moosecastle, you were not last - I got the kit today. Maybe I should consider getting a Danish postal address - it's only a little more than an one hour drive to Denmark. ;o)

Laura, great supplies, thank you!

Marryth 03/ 2/2012 #

I love these swaps, and the fun supplies are always worth the wait! I do hope you'll host another round soon. :D

missxkay 03/ 5/2012 #

@Ronya - you're not even last. I received the kit today. =P

Moosecastle 03/ 6/2012 #

Aaah - everything back to normal then; the Canadian Postal Service wins the snail mail prize again:D
