May Embellishment Swap - Transport Theme

Hi Ladies, Vic and Sue are too busy to get this swap going so I stuck my hand up

Here is the sign-up thread for the May handmade embellishment swap...our theme will be "Transport". We haven't had this theme before so I am dying to see what everyone comes up with. Think outside the square, there are so many modes of transport these days it shouldn't be too hard to come up with one.

The way this swap will work is you will make a set of embellishments (all the same), enough for one for each person in the group. (Eg, if 8 people in the swap, you will make 8 embellishments.)

These are to be no larger than 2 to 3 inches in size and this month will be about Transport. It is entirely up to you what you chose to make, it is your interpretation of the theme
You can make anything you wish, as long as it is something that can be used as a mode of transport, is able to be posted in a standard envelope and is something that is suitable to be used on a layout.

Once you have completed your embellishments, you will send them all to Billie (Shaz), who will then send you back one of everyone's embellishments (including your own). You will also need to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Please ensure your envelope is at least A5 in size and that you send sufficient stamps to cover postage!!! (Please PM me / Shaz if you don't have her address!)

Embellishments will need to be completed and sent to Shaz by the end of May.

Sign-ups for this swap will remain open until Sunday 8th May, after which time I will confirm groups and final numbers. I know it is only a few days away so we'll see how we go with numbers and if needed may be able to extend sign up for a few more days, but the embellies will still need to be to me by the end of the month.

Thanks for adding me Shaz!

No worries Becci. We haven't had much interest for this swap so we might close it off now so we can all get busy making them. Just a question, would everyone like to make just one embellie or two??

i dont mind either way!

Either or doesn't bother me. No idea what I am making yet lol

I don't mind either way 1 or 2
melinda

Well I will make an executive decision and say we will make 2 so we get more happy mail.

I will see how i go with 2 lots, time wise, but will warn you now that if i run out of time, 1 lot may just be a stamped image!

Got your yesty Vic. How is everyone else going with these? I'm having computer issues so haven't been on latel. I can get on via my phone but tend not to post. Hopefully the computer dr can help tomorrow.

Haven't started. Need to wait til friday to get supplies but will get them done over the weekend and off monday

I am posting mine today for you
Melinda

Cool, I only have Vicki's so far.

Well I had a go at making some bottlecaps and they are crap. Pattern form underneath bleed through and then they all cracks. So will be getting to something else today. Not happy!

Just and update, still waiting for Kirsty's swaps

There on their way. Mails a little slow from here and the public holiday won't have helped. Sorry guys.

No worries Kirsty, I'll be stalking the postie

Rightyo girls these are on the way

Shaz - tricycle button and dump truck
Vicki - bottle top and stamped images on acetate of a pram and a plane
Melinda - large plane button and helicopter
Nikki - stripy plane and train
Kirsty - hot air balloon and glitter plane
