USA/CANADA ONLY!!!

I am making this a USA/CANADA ONLY swap since I am very limited on extra funds needed to send international. SORRY FOLKS!!!

I am so excited to be hosting my very first swap!!! I have searched and searched trying to find a swap of this kind, but it doesn't look like anyone is doing this.....so here I am:))

I am totally addicted to making & collecting embellished recipes, so I thought this would be a great way to get some new recipes to add to my collection.

For this swap you will send 3 handmade/embellished recipe pages/cards to 2 partners. Each card/page will have 1 recipe and you will send one recipe that begins with the letter A, 1 that begins with the letter B and 1 that begins with the Letter C to each partner.

FOR EXAMPLE:

  • A = Applesauce cake, Artichoke dip, Avocado muffins, etc.
  • B = Blueberry cheesecake, Broccolli casserole, Bran muffins, etc.
  • C = Candied yams, Chocolate Cake, Cabbage rolls, etc.

I think you got the idea.....right???

Ok....now for the details: Each recipe card is to be handmade and must measure 6x6, and must be embellished in a pretty way for each of us to add to our recipe scrapbook or recipe box, whichever the case may be. Please don't just slap a couple of stickers on it and send it on. Make something that you would be proud to receive yourself. You can embellish with stamp art, brads, gems, ribbon, or any other form of embellishment you think would be a nice addition. You can type or handwrite the recipes, but PLEASE be sure if you handwrite that you do so neatly so that they are legible and can be easily read. Please don't make them too thick so they will fit nicely in our scrapbooks.

Ok, so we are sending 3 handmade-embellished 6x6 recipe cards/pages to 2 partners and will send 1 recipe that begins with A, 1 that begins with B and 1 that begins with C to each partner. I'm giving ya'll a month to get your cards/pages completed and sent:)

For those of you who are new to scrapbooking recipes, here's some links to give ya'll some ideas:) Some of these pics are not 6x6, but atleast they'll give you some ideas of the type of embellishments some people use to make their recipe pages stand out. The possibilities are endless!!! Just be creative:)

Everyone is welcome to join this swap as long as you have atleast a 4.8 rating and no no-sends within the last 6 months. Newbies are welcome as long as you have a completely filled out profile. I will check profiles before assigning partners and will delete anyone who does not meet these guidelines.

I plan on continuing this on a monthly basis where we'll work our way through the alphabet:)) If you participate in each swap throughout the entire series, in the end you will have a scrapbook of recipes from A-Z. Sound fun???

SO GET SIGNED UP AND LET'S SWAP SOME RECIPES!!!

I am planning on angeling for this swap unless we have so many flakers I can't handle it alone. In which case I will help find angels if needed. Hope that won't be the case though!! If anyone flakes in this swap they will not be welcome in any future swaps I host!!

ROUND 2 IS READY FOR SIGNUPS!!! I have changed the name for this series of swaps. Here's the link to get signed up......Recipes Scrapbook Style R2 - DEF This will be the name of the swap from now on:)

Any links or photos of a 6 x 6 recipe card or awesome pattern would be fantastic!

Oh well, lol. I tried to send this through email to all participants, but for some strange reason yahoo won't let it go through. Keeps telling me that there is suspicious activity on my account...ugh!! Ok, what am I doing suspicious??? Oh well, here it is:

Good evening everyone,

Partners have been assigned so ya'll can get busy making recipe cards:)) I'm sorry that I was a little late assigning partners. This has been a very busy day with a sick grandbaby that I keep while my daughter works.

Remember that the deadline to have your recipes sent out is March 25. Let's try to make the packages you send extra special for your partners and aim for hearts....ok??? Be sure to check the swap message board and your partner's profiles and be sure that you don't send recipes to your partners that they will be allergic to or just plain don't like.

Ya'll have a great weekend and if you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email or pm.

Those on the link are 5 x 7 to fit a phto album, why do you want a 6 x 6 which is an odd size. I would prefer mine to be 5 x 7.
