Great swap idea. Would 7 Gypsies be okay too?

Lishmo 04/26/2012 #

Absolutely. :)

I know this is the TH group, but if we don't have actuall TH paper, but the other brands is it sok to join still?

Lishmo 04/27/2012 #

Of course, any paper that is in our style. I have some paper that has old clocks and keys on it. I think that kind of paper would work.

Kattera22 04/27/2012 #

wooo hoo so excited!!!

Any suggestions on vintage style ephemera? I feel like everyone probably has their own idea of what that is so I'm hesitant to join as I don't want to disappoint.

Don't think anyone would ever be disappointed with your envies Angela!! Your swaps Rock!!

I'm gonna send all my coolest papers as I have been hoarding my 6x6 and 8x8 paper packs for a few months now. This is the best swap ever b/c I always get 3 of a kind and now I know where to send my TH type papers, we must do more of these for sure!! Wahoooo, getting my papers out tomorrow!! ;) If you have me as a partner, I love romantic couples and Marie Antoinette, they are hard for me to find here in Canada...tho I have tried on-line!! I actually haven't seen much TH paper and I don't usually buy 12x12 paper packs anymore b/c I like the smaller prints for atc's and tags.

Tried to leave a comment earlier, guess it didn't work.

Vintage style ephemera, here is what I was thinking-

Repro vintage postcards, tickets, photos, old keys, old ads, maps, animal, bird, floral, etc.

Sometimes I pick up K and Co. packs of die cut cardstock and they have those types of repro vintage images.

If you have a stash of genuine vintage ephemera, like tickets, ads, postcards etc, you could send that. If you could bear to part with it. :)

I do have actual ephemera from the early 1900's, bank notes/checks, ledgers, milk delivery receipts just anything really, that was meant to be thrown away but people kept and we now use it as ephemera. I will be sending some of these to my partner.

NaughtyElf 05/ 3/2012 #

I will give up my secret for a bundle of actual ephemera for around $10 This store is an altered artists paradise!

Thanks for sharing that link! Receipts, that's the word I couldn't think of earlier. I love old checks, I have a few from the 1800's. Sorry, I won't be sharing those!

Kattera22 05/ 5/2012 #

Yes, thanks for the link!!! In the pile that i have put together, i also included some old encyclopedia pages with cool pictures that i think could be used for some fun vintage style atcs. Good question though because now i have lots more ideas!!

NaughtyElf 05/ 5/2012 #

You are very welcome guys, and yes encyclopedia pages are awesome too!

darcilena 05/ 9/2012 #

OMG, that link is ;0, I am speechless! Anyhoo, I will be on there much later to chech the whole site out. I love that corset. I have to make some this weekend...so just maybe this will be much more than just a paper swap, hey girls...getting my goodies ready! Can't wait to see who I send to! Happy gathering! ;) Have a great week everyone!!

I don't buy 6x6 pads, generally, can this be papers that have been cut down to 6x6??? I do not want to disappoint anyone, so I understand if that's not acceptable. :)

Lishmo 05/ 9/2012 #

Sure, cut down is fine.

Leashah 05/ 9/2012 #

THANKS!

darcilena 05/24/2012 #
