Description:

The theme of this swap is: The Color Blue. This is one of a series of color-themed tip-in swaps that will be hosted here over the next few months. Look for Color Red Tip-Ins, also running at the same time as this swap. This is a 2 for 2 swap. This means you will make two sets of pages, and send one to each of the two partners you are assigned. In return, you will receive one set of double pages from each of the two people who are given your name as a partner. You will be creating two sets of double pages. (Or if you're like me, make three, and keep one set for yourself.) Each set should be built on a 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock or index stock, landscape format. (Landscape means the paper is oriented so it's wide and short when you're creating your artwork---so, you'll be working on a piece that's 11 inches wide, and 8-1/2 inches high.) For complete instructions on creating this type of double page tip-in, please refer to the instructions posted on my site, here . Please be sure you can create your pages and have them in the mail by the last day of August. Folks who fail to meet their deadlines will be blocked from participating in any future swaps I host. I'll also weed out those of you who sign up with existing bad ratings karma here at Swap-bot. One more thing: I know this site says to scan the items you receive and post them in the gallery. I'm against scanning and posting someone else's work, for copyright reasons. Feel free to scan and post YOUR OWN WORK in the gallery---flaunt your own work, and be proud! Please read all the info on the FAQ page so you'll understand how Swap-bot works. I no longer answer questions about how this site runs, since there's plenty of documentation posted by the nice folks who own it.

I have enjoyed the ATC swaps and now will try one of these tip-in swaps. Sure keeps me busy with all these things going on. Lisa, don't know how you do it. Tires me out just looking at all you accomplish. Love your work.

Jude, how I do it:

  1. I don't clean.
  2. I don't have children.
  3. I don't do anything else.

Once you get rid of things like a clean house, kids and a real job, it's pretty simple to churn out a pile of work :)

I have pictures of a book used for advertising made in 1939 and it is ALTERED. Way back then they were cutting holes thru the books. Anyway, I would really like to email them to you. I do belong to this swap and participating. I'm

Received a blue tip in from pequad today and it fit right in my memory page. Loved it and will always remind me of the first tip-in I ever received. Thank you

Received a nice e-mail from Angel Faery Kathleen today. I am so happy that you liked the blue tip-in. It was my first and I didn't quite know what to do. Picked up your Jazz theme and went from there. I also do not have any room to do what I want. So join the party, haha. Thanks for the nice comment, it make me want to keep going. Arty hugs to you to.

Mine are going out in the morning!

I have heard from both my BLUE swap partners that they have received their pages, so I uploaded a scan today. I made 3 of these more or less alike because I also want to keep one of my own for my book. ;o) ~ Carol

I have received one blue swap from Cindy. I sent both of mine off to tomorrow's mail!

Iowascrapemouse 08/28/2006 #

Still waiting for my 2nd tip-in............

lisavollrath 08/28/2006 #

The deadline to mail is not until August 31st, so it's possible that you won't receive them for up to two weeks---we do have folks from overseas participating. Please be patient.

arizonarose 08/28/2006 #

Received a great blue tip with a picture of a PA. sun on the water in it from Effie today plus a really neat note card and a stamp. Put in my book and will remember my 2nd tip in with other artsie items. Thank you Effie.

user2452 08/29/2006 #

I received a red tip-in from Brenda and a blue tip-in from Cindy. Thanks ladies, gorgeous work!! Please scan your work - everyone should see these.

user2452 08/30/2006 #

I mailed my two blue pages this morning. The second blue page hasn't arrived and we're going to be gone for a month. As soon as we're home I'll let you know it's here.

Iowascrapemouse 08/30/2006 #

Betty, I just viewed your pages, they are beautiful!

AngelFaeryKathleen 08/31/2006 #

I have both my blue tip-ins now. Both so different and I love them both. Thank you Effie and Jude. I must look for a book to tip them into, right now they are living in a box together with the Woman of Influence tip-in swaps. Just love getting them out to look at and wonder at all the different walks of life of the women who made them and so have enriched my life by sharing their work with me. A big arty hug to you all.

I received a lovely blue tip-in from Betty Davis in today's mail -- that's really fast coming from Canada! The artwork is so serene, something my life is NOT this weekend, that I've put it up on my mantel for the entire family to enjoy. Thank you for a wonderful swap!

user2434 09/ 3/2006 #

Received my blue tip-in from Vivian Montre. Thanks! It's beautiful!

pequad 09/ 5/2006 #

I have received both my blue tip-ins from Fran and Vivian -- thank you both so very much! ~ Carol

Had to return home from trip to the coast - mom broke her hip and needs surgery. Happy to find my second blue tip-in waiting for me from Betty Davis. Thanks Betty - it's lovely.

Received my second Blue page from Angel Faery Kathleen. I am finding the fiberous background paper very interesting! What is it and where can it be found? Cool stuff!

user1733 09/ 7/2006 #

I received my second tip-in from Lynne in yesterday's mail. It appeals to the senses with texture, sparkle, even the sound of the beaded trim when the page is opened. Thank you!

arizonarose 09/10/2006 #

My partners I received Blue from were Pequade (Carol) and Effie. On the rate chart I have Stephanie Gates. I could not rate Effie because her name did not show up on the "who I sent to" rating. And I received nothing from Stephanie Gates and don't see her on our Blue list. Effie is rated a 5 because that's as hi as rating goes. Effie, loved your "blue". hope to have you as a partner again some time.

AlteredAddict 09/12/2006 #

Just wanted to say thank you to Lisa and Pat who made my first swap on swap-bot an enjoyable one -- I have gone crazy -- I may need and intervention soon:-) lol

Theresa in Tennessee

AlteredAddict 09/12/2006 #

Ok I'm a bit slow I just realized that I could post messages here -- 'Iowascrapmouse' -- I'm glad you liked the tip-in I did -- I am trying hard to with collage I really need to force myself sometimes, so the fact that you really liked it means a GREAT DEAL to me -- thank you and thank you for giving me my first rating and what I hope will be the first of many 5's -- I love swap-bot!!

user1733 09/12/2006 #

ArizonaRose,
I think Stephanie and Effie are the same person.

Hag53 09/12/2006 #

I am very sorry that mine went out late. There was a death in my husbands family which took me over to the point where I didn't even get signed up for the next ones in time. Betsy
